Nier Automata

Like, I knew the game had a lot of hype behind it. But I grabbed the demo because I bought a PS4 specifically to play Persona 5, and the console arrived first so I wanted to fill time. And the demo was just ok. The only reason I grabbed the full game was because I asked you guys if it got better and took the board's word for it.

On W2D2 now, having a good time. So far they've done a great job of making a worthy successor to the original while also putting in enough new twists to not feel like a rehash. Honestly still just surprised this is a real game and it's any good at all lol
I should be finishing Week 1 today (Been going slow and having to fight super-completionist urges) and I agree with all of this.

okay i sort of remember that when Patrician of Darkness came out, kids were saying that because of how its effect was worded you could choose to retarget attacks to your opponents' own monsters?

which made it broken in playground format but i was on my way out so i don't have a lot of memories of it
It definitely couldn't do that, but I can imagine that coming up in playground format for sure lmao

The flavor text for Jerry makes it that much better which makes me a bit sad about effect monsters not getting any
Yup. For a while, I favored normal monsters (Neo The Magic Swordsman was my first love, and I was sad to never see it in the anime) over effect ones for this reason even though the effect monsters were better.

That said, my favorite card is an effect monster (Patrician of Darkness - Played zombies for a while before quitting the game, and Patrician/Spirit Reaper was great for anything that couldn't crack it)

Every fighting series (And let's be real, Yugioh is exactly one of those, just using card games as a substitute for actual combat) has to have its designated "Gets talked up, but always loses to make their opponent look credible" character.

Just so happens that Mai gets it even worse than most of those.

Oh man, I just remembered one early-era card that wrecked my shit: Ekibyo Drakmord. When my brother's friend first busted it out in a game, I did like twelve double takes and demanded to read every word of the card text. I couldn't believe a freakin common (this was still around the time most of us were fumbling with the first starters) could be so broken.
Hell yeah. This card was my jam in the early days. Trap Dustshoot was another one, though slightly later, that it seemed to take a while for people to catch on to how silly it was (though, banned now)

I played the demo.

Unless the rest of the game is significantly worse, this game is going to be better than the original. Largely due to the gameplay improvements, mind - I hated the gameplay of the original. Simply could not wrap my head around it at all. But the rest was very good. And NEO preserves all of what made the original good while having decent gameplay, based off the demo.

I don't watch tennis, but in football (soccer) you could literally copy+paste every interview after a win/loss for a player. It's so mediatized that they're basically not saying anything anyway, so I rarely see the need for it. I also wonder how many people actually watch those.

In team sports, I understand interviewing the manager to get insight into a gameplan, but players is just press masturbation in the hopes of them being emotional and stirring the pot against other players/managers/referees/... .

$50 seems like a pretty absurd ask for what this is. It's nice that they added voice acting and manual skill selection to fusion but this otherwise seems like a weak port compared to P4G on Steam which was sold for $20 despite being a much more recent game.
The graphics are largely updated and there is voice acting as you noted, while P4G was just a straight port. But I do still agree that $50 is straight up atlus seeing what they can get away with on atlus tax

Used Firefox since the 3.x days

Used Chrome occasionally for flash-related things, and haven't touched it since flash was killed (thank fucking god it was. Awful piece of technology). I do use it and Edge at work though.

Honestly new Edge is better than Chrome, and I suggest anybody using Chrome to switch over. Still prefer Firefox to both, but some people don't like Firefox.

andylt posted...
Switched to Chrome when the amount of memory Firefox used became ridiculous. Haven't looked back.
e.g this hasn't been true in about 7-10 years in my experience (They're pretty much the same for small number of tabs, but when you get more than 10-15 tabs Firefox tends to have noticably better use in my experience), but it's apparently still the common reputation.

Even if no one said "knife" you can't respond to this specific situation with "kids will be kids" and think that's an acceptable answer. Because the specifics of this situation involve a knife being wielded with apparent lethal intent. You can't compare that to fisticuffs.

And yes, Police departments on the whole have a lot of ways they can improve with regard to de-escalation, and resources being allocated more intelligently and less militantly. Your typical beat cop should not require a sidearm. But if someone is going to stab me then please send the cop with the gun so they can stop the person with the knife from murdering me.
Also, yes, both of these. There are tons of incidents and shitty cops that we can discuss and use to demonstrate why cops in general are way too quick to resort to violence and have way too many means of lethal force.

This is just not one of them.

Also "kids/teenagers get into fights all the time" is a pretty reasonable statement, I think. However, "kids/teenagers get into knife fights all the time" is pretty wtf and I would love to see some evidence that's even slightly true.
