i had a fun time watching the show, although it was kind of frustrating how much more interesting the villains were than the heroes!

i looked up some plot stuff that didn't make sense and they seemed to all be contrivances that weren't in the comic. i can't blame them, since television viewers are not to be trusted

i do like what i see on the wikipedia summary of the comic plotlines, and hope the show skips all of the various filler plot threads advertised at the end of the final episode

And Zidane is so up and down as a hero. He occasionally has these profound moments, and then he suggests he and Vivi should pee together to cement their male bond.

yeah, he's a little inconsistent. they couldn't pick just one characterization, they needed him to be everything

i actually was thrown for a loop every time he went into "superhero" mode where the plot demanded it. it's almost like he was vaguely aware he was in a video game

Mgs is an amazing series and a work of art

But it regularly sacrifices logic, pacing and coherence for meta commentary, so if you care about things being traditionally good and making sense after the first game, you're out of luck

Mgs1 is a fantastic hybrid of James bond, die hard, and pac-man. It overall makes perfect sense, forgiving one scientific mistake or two

Mgs2 is just one big prank/meta commentary on the audience for wanting a sequel. Nothing makes sense, and It messed up the universe so badly that the next game had to be set 40 years in the past just to procrastinate resolving it all. Introducing someone to mgs with this title is juat wrong

Mgs3's survival mechanics were ill advised and naked snake's personality became a parody of a parody

Mgs4 was 100 years of cutscenes and fan appreciation

Mgsv has my favorite gameplay with a ton of options. It just has a ton of weird story decisions and premises that don't make sense

Supposedly kojima wanted to move on to other projects after mgs1, but it's success kept him making this one series for 15 plus years

Now if only we could get enough of the population to take the vaccine so we can get actual herd immunity!

Kind of surprised they didn't pick a different theme

But i enjoyed the format- different team for each episode

It's so easy to play the game multiple times because you can do a lot of things differently.

i was dancing around the topic, but they're long games and i think the gameplay just hasn't aged particularly well

back in the day i tried to do a second playthrough and i couldn't make it through the first ice world mission

i enjoyed the games at the time, but i don't think i could ever go back

the pacing felt decent when i was uncovering a mystery, but now that i remember all of the twists i can't imagine going through it a second time

That's a good question. I'm not especially attached to physical doodads... I'd be happy to get the apartment space back, to be honest

But there's some hobby stuff I've painted that would be a little hard to let go of. If the person was guaranteed to show up at a specific time and get it out of my apartment for me... I'd let it go for $200

The key thing is that i don't want to have to deal with packing/mailing

If i had to pack, mail, organize actual buyers, deal with flakes, etc... it'd have to be at least $900

is there any notable difference between tanks nowadays?

from what i've gathered, gunbreaker requires a higher apm, but other than that they're pretty much equivalent

People will always find ways to justify and paint their hobbies in the best possible light

But that's life. People spend money on things that make them happy.

Golf and skiing are wealthy people hobbies, full stop. It doesn't matter if some people can play on a budget. You're participating in a wealthy subculture if you golf

It doesn't matter if "it's not as expensive as owning a boat". being for wealthy people doesn't have to be something you get defensive about

No matter how reasonable golf is compared to going to the movies or whatever, it's still infinitely more expensive than playing soccer or basketball

Yeah, oddly enough i know a couple of people who like the yakuza series, but find the real time combat gameplay too difficult

When you put so much time into writing dialogue and random minigames, you don't want to filter out players who have dexterity issues or don't understand how to block

The series was always this unique hybrid of jrpg, gta, and shenmue that was leaning toward the jrpg angle, so it makes sense for them to finally collapse entirely into the genre they sprung from

I've played a metric crapton of games, but i think every big-ish game series has at least one off-platform or sub-par entry i haven't delved into. This is kind of crazy.

i guess excellent series that are really good tend to explode until there are games that aren't as great

To get above 2 or 3 i think i need to start throwing out entries i don't want to count, or maybe the devs have tacitly disavowed (Starcraft 1 had two official 3rd party expansions/games i could download that haven't been mentioned since 1999)

I'm perfectly capable of loving terrible people as characters, but I've never found his particular archetype that enjoyable.

for pretty much the above reason.

There is also the movie Mank, where this is pretty much the whole plot. I have not seen that documentary though, so I'm sure it does a better job.

When I was a kid, we went on a road trip through California visiting our various relatives, and Hearst Castle (which is now basically a museum) was one of the stops. Unexpectedly, I found it interesting. The swimming pool, secret doors, and the big fucking tree he flew in via helicopter were the only things i remember, but I think i still recommend it if you're looking for touristy stuff in the area

I feel like i have more time to lollygag as an adult, as my parents no longer regulate my screen time. But then again, i don't have kids so ymmv

I'm a generally impatient gamer sometimes in spite of that. If there's a story i really want to see the end of, it starts feeling like the gameplay is just getting in the way

What makes it silly is that i know i can just look up the cutscenes or even full playthroughs up on YouTube whenever i want

Yeah I mean I knew WHERE but there are like 80 menus here and it's just a huge cumbersome mess.

I did figure it out, but this all seems like a nightmare of mixed currency. You gotta go between 3 guys to get one thing. And now I gotta go do a bunch of eden to get books to exchange for a different tombstone to exchange for a weapon, combination with tickets I got from exchanging different tombstones altogether from a different vendor?

Like, bruh.

honestly, that's par for the course for any MMO at the end of an expansion's life cycle

finished the msq. i enjoyed my time burning through it, although i can't genuinely recommend it to people that aren't already mmo fanatics

in some ways it reminds me of star trek- a long-running series that oftentimes has poor acting, direction, and pacing, but has interesting premises and settings, positive themes, and consistently portrays characters for a long enough period of time that you can't help but be attached

i can see arguments for/against, but honestly don't care enough to argue hard. i'll trust the experts, who cares

i don't know if i'd go so far as to call it prohibition, since menthol is just a slightly harmful additive/painkiller? so one could argue it's the same as banning rat poison in cigarettes (which is objectively a good thing). you can still buy rat-poison-less cigarettes

my social circle is all about non-menthol american spirits for some reasons that i don't store in my brain, so they won't be affected

while i've always known they were marketed towards/more popular among black communities, i think using that as justification for/against the ban registers on my bs detector.

we'll see if the FDA has legal standing for this. the wikipedia page has a weirdly convoluted supreme court history on the subject

i want the drug war to end, but if it's gonna end i think we will still need regulations on what additives are approved
