Not third party

Thanks for clarifying. I was really confused about that while responding to something else.

But putting aside I don't know what online 3rd party games people are even playing on Switch these days (are we just talking Fortnite here?), are we really pretending From has a great track record here either?

Ive never heard of problems with anything other than Smash. In fact the NSO Classics multiplayer is really good, uses rollback netcode even

If anyone has any lag in classic Mario Party, it quite literally lags the entire game at render for everyone. Like the game stutters and the music is distorted. It's insanely bad.

there's one scene where Dexter just stands in plain sight of the guy he's stalking

I wish I could find a clip of that fucking scene. Barely anyone remembers because if you're checked out it doesn't seem like much of anything but it's so bad. Just dead ass staring at the guy in a bright blue shirt like 6 feet away, which he obviously notices, so he slashes Dexter's tires and they have the gall to have ghost dad be like "This guy's good!"

I've never actually reached the final boss in the last pantheon. Only the next to last. My laptop performs way too bad for dealing with full on boss rushes and something released that pulled me away from my PS5 attempt.

But man, I'm so terrible at regular Radiance I have no idea how I'll ever pull it together for Absolute.

You can get blue health to the left of the springs during a pantheon when you clear with 8 different bindings between the various challenges, and more at 12 and 16. Even just reaching the 8 mark makes a huge difference for the last one.

You don't have to have them all on at once for a pantheon. That will mark them completed in gold but otherwise makes no difference.

As I remember it, Morgana just said the place looks like a pancake. I think Akechi is the only one that thought they were actually going to buy pancakes

Correct. He even went so far as to say it looked delicious, but he was talking about Dome Town. Akechi also didn't realize he was hearing a cat speak since he was around the corner and probably hadn't memorized everyone's voices yet.

That said there's definitely going to be some place you can get breakfast food at dinner in Tokyo. If this were P4, different story.

Given Dead Cells was clearly influenced by this game, I would be surprised if the plot was anything else.

Dead Cells early access was like a few months after this. Although there wasn't much of a story to speak of then.

You have to remember Im partially color blind and stuff REALLY blends together. Dead Cells has accessibility options and even with them the near death filter basically made me play blind. Its why I resorted to sustain builds until I got good enough to easily beat 5bc.

Your screenshots are explicitly showing things we don't see in our games, though.

Did you mod it to remove foreground elements? It looks like stuff from the foreground was removed but left solid shadows behind.

If you didn't, try a clean install and/or verify local cache if you're on Steam.

- Are there really attendance officers in Japan who go around train stations and malls and tell four teenagers hanging out on Sunday morning to disperse? That's a level of 'not having a real job' that I barely comprehend.

We still have truancy officers in several places in the US. Not as common as they used to be but this is in no way a uniquely Japanese concept.

It's really not worth worrying about. For an online personality, James is probably as unplugged from this shit as he could possibly be. He was asked for a small presentation video for an independent awards show, which he did.

As for why they would even ask, it's because there was a stupid movement months before blaming him for the entire rage-baiting grifter movement. Like not just that they were aping him, but that it's entirely his fault. Which, I mean, fuck off with that.

You can bring Legion and do both loyalty missions before the IFF is ready. I think you just have to avoid approaching the bridge after Tali's to go get Legion's.
