Ah, I think the two I mentioned are the only games I've played from your list but they are pretty great. I guess you can count Dragon Warrior I and II since you mention the franchise. I did play a Monster Rancher game once for like an hour, dunno which one though. That's all I got.

Dragon Warrior 3 is GOAT if you're into NES/SNES era turn-based JRPGs, imo.
Monster Rancher 1, 2, and 4 were all fantastic - but I don't think that same feeling could ever be captured again playing them now, since people don't own nearly as many physical cds anymore. I put 4 because I feel like 2 receives the most praise, and I don't think most people liked the changes made in 4 -- considering most of its big changes were reverted right back to feeling more like 2 immediately afterwards with the DS games.

I appreciate Recettear and Tetris Attack. I can't read what your favorite game is.

Favorite game is the SNES/PSX Tactics Ogre.

Your thoughts on mine?

Better that than Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, or Halo

This man KILLED multiple people, and zoomer women BOMBARDED his social media with positive affirmations of his appearance. Is he a "thirst trap"?

If she's perfect then I'd still hoobadabah her.

The only thing I disagree with is that Christmas Trees are way better than Fudge Rounds. But Nutty Buddies still win it all.

I'm also not shaming them for being incels. Not having sex can suck. I was a virgin until I was 22 and could've easily become an incel had I not had shared interests with women/been active in countercultures and started growing beards as they became popular.
I'm saying that I can understand a lot of things incels believe, even if I don't agree with them. But I literally can't understand the immense hatred for tattoos.

Why do normies feel the feel to constantly shame incels? You already live a better life than them by having someone in your life that cares for you.

Most incels ARE normies. I don't know why Redditors felt it necessary to appropriate a term that's been around for decades.
If you don't like tattoos, you think women only want muscles and money, and you're not active in any counterculture -- then you're a normie.

She's cute and I like the look of her tattoos -- but the content of them is awful. I hate Zelda and Kingdom Heart fans so much.

Like I understand incels being sold on wanting "fertile" women and women who are "in-shape," even though I totally feel the complete opposite myself.
But the tattoo thing is weird to me? Is it just boomer values and ideals? Even the great generation seemed pretty okay with tattoos -- considering most blue collar workers, navy, marines, sailors, etc. had tattoos that long ago.

thin crust is an abomination.

Barrett and Cid. Their limit breaks hit the greatest number of times/do the most damage. Unless there's something I'm missing.

I look just like Damon Waynes Jr

Okay, lol. I guess that's a "no" to what I tried to ask you in your thread (I should've tagged you in the post).
I was watching this Youtuber and his name is "MrBallen" and I think he said his Discord or something is "JBallen." I was asking if this was you XD

When I was younger I had random people would come up to me and think I was Nick Simmons. I didn't even know who he was at the time, I think he had a tv show or something which is why he was popular enough for people to think about.

Nowadays I get Keanu sometimes but only if i have a beard.

I just looked him up -- and I can see how an older version of him could also look like Keanu.

I get Eric Wareheim and Jemaine Clement.

Hey - not to be weird, but do you have a Youtube channel? I was watching someone that just read stories and their name was incredibly similar to your username.

How tall are you

If you're like 5'10" then lol. Hardly that obese

I'm 6'1''.
I was just overweight when I was like 217 -- but since I got the job at the hospital and I'm more sedentary I've ballooned like 30+ lbs.

I've had no trouble dating women after 22 -- and I'm obese (I've consistently fluctuated between 217-250#), I'm making a little over 30k a year (and that's the best I've ever done), I have average credit, and I'm rude and awkward as fuck.

Looks and money only matter if you're going for basic ass women and/or your only standards for women are looks (ie. eye candy, basic ass women). It's all just red-piller myth.

Ohhh I see. So what youre really saying ITT is your definition of 90sest only extends to the white 90s experience.

valid point - although I did point out that I meant corny nu-metally, angsty gen-x stuff. Even if hip hop culture was created as a means to establish a black American counterculture - we're not going to sit here and pretend that other countercultures weren't at least inclusive. The dumbass nu-metal stuff still had black/POC members in well known bands, like orange 9mm and Sevendust. I'd also say that even though they were more EDM'y -- nothing exemplifies that time period as well as Prodigy.
There were plenty of POC who had tribal tattoos, wore Jncos and colored contacts, skateboarded, etc.

Candyman also places very little narrative focus on any of the characters aside from its lead. I feel like its strongest theme was the nature of urban myth, wanting to be memorialized in history, etc. -- which is why I'm optimistic for the remake that's supposedly going to place more of its focus on the racial tensions.
I also don't feel like it feels distinctly '90s? If anything I'd say Tales from the Hood does a much better job on all of those accounts.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm backpedaling.

You must be joking. What do you think baseball is?
We could even describe American football as turn-based.

Meh, the game below is turn-based and its pretty good, so go play it. It is hard though and makes some people cry.

Can I also strongly recommend For the King as a difficult, newish turn-based roguelike of sorts?
I like it even more than Darkest Dungeon, and with some bad luck and on higher difficulties it can be almost as difficult as Darkest Dungeon.

RPGs aren't meant to "simulate real life," they're meant to simulate tabletop board gaming -- which is turn-based. I've never played a game of D&D where we're frantically throwing d20s at rapid pace on the table until we get a crit.
If you want something that "simulates real life," then play GTA or some shit.

real time combat is the videogame equivalent of LARPing. I think you're the bigger dork in this situation not liking turn based combat

I don't even care that it's like an hour of the same 15 second loop.

The dungeonhack mini game in Lufia 2
The Deep Dungeon in Tactics Ogre.

To be fair - I struggle to say Quest instead of Warrior, too.
Quest sounds really dumb. Warrior sounds cooler, considering you're fighting actual dragons at some points in all the games.

What a basic ass thing to judge someone on. Massive red-piller energy.

I've been trying to use Petit tube to find something interesting -- and all I'm getting are pronunciation videos, jewelry or technology presentations/advertisements, Indian Tik Toks, and Car stuff.

I remember back when the b9 board existed - someone had linked some guy who was severely on the spectrum and had a really disgusting house giving cooking tutorials. He'd put whole bananas with the peel on in blenders, talk about how mold/expiration dates are just the government trying to get us to waste food and stimulate the economy, use toilet water when his sink wasn't working, literally vomit on camera sometimes when he was eating his food, etc.
I've tried so hard to find this channel again and can't find it.
I want something strange like that.

Yeah, this poll is fail for the lack of these. Then you have Candyman, Wishmaster and Leprechaun.

Return of the Living Dead 3, Carrie 2, and Tromeo and Juliet are essential for this topic. The only way you'd say otherwise is if you haven't seen them. Carrie 2 literally has people wearing Jncos in it.

I'd also not lump Candyman as angsty, nu metalish '90s horror. Candyman is a fantastic film, and its commentary on poverty and urban myth are timeless. It doesn't have a soundtrack or an aesthetic that fits what I'm describing.
Leprechaun maybe slightly, because it being Jennifer Anniston's first film -- and she's definitely very '90s.
Wishmaster sliiightly I guess -- it has the aesthetic somewhat, but it feels more in line with stuff like Yuzna, Hennenlotter, and other Charles Band stuff. Like horror comedies with elaborate prosthetics and practical effects. That's more like late '80s/early '90s to me and doesn't have that angsty gen x vibe to it.

Idle Hand?

This is a very good answer. Anything with Seth Green instantly feels super '90s and nu metal.

Scream.

TC just has terrible opinions and it made one hell of an impact on the genre.

Name the impact. People say that Scream "turned things around," but 1997-2013 was easily one of the worst times for American horror. The best stuff going on post-Scream and pre-2010's was all French -- and could barely, if at all, be attributed to Scream.
Scream "gave us" garbage like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends, Swim Fan, etc. Even the "self referential, post-modern satire" thing didn't spawn much of anything good -- aside from Dave and Tucker vs. Evil, stuff like the Scary Movie series, Leslie Vernon, and Cabin in the Woods are all forgettable at best. Man Bites Dog and Funny Games were infinitely better at what Scream set out to do, and the former came before Scream.

If that's true that's totally fucked - but wouldn't surprise me.

I don't know what Yakuza is -- but DQ11 is better than FF7 and FF8

Returning_CEmen posted...

Final Destination
Urban Legend

These both fit the bill of being nu metal and very gen-x'y -- but they came a little too late.

Real talk, though. Scream doesn't deserve its classic status. It's not even a top five Craven.

People Under the Stairs
Nightmare on Elm Street
Last House on the Left
The Serpent and the Rainbow
New Nightmare

James Gunn's true masterpiece, Tromeo and Juliet.

That moment when all future conversations about horror movies with this poster became pointless. Hell hes probably a fan of I Know What You Did Last Summer.

I don't know why you'd equate me not liking one corny movie with liking another.

SquirtleSkwad posted...

I Know What You Did Last Summer is peak 90's horror. And by that, I mean it feels incredibly 90's. Not that it's a great film.

I definitely should've included it. Maybe I should've replaced Mirror Mirror or Strangeland with it.

TheOtherMike posted...

Objectively wrong on all counts.

Most overrated film in the entire cannon of horror, which is saying a lot about a genre with so many overrated films in its cannon.

Look at how cool and '90s Rusty looks in Amityville 1992: It's About Time. His guitar is shaped like a fucking dragon, and he quotes his favorite "metal" bands' angsty lyrics as philosophy.

Scream isn't as '90s as these films, nor is it as good either

Queen of the Damned, even though it came out in '02.

I've never seen this or The Cell, but I'd imagine both fit the bill even if being a few years too late.

What film reeks the most of nu-metal, edgy gen-x'ers, dgaf attitudes, and Jnco jeans?

I would also include Ginger Snaps (2000) and Freddy vs. Jason (2003) -- but they both barely missed the decade.
I know Mirror Mirror (1990) is a weird inclusion because it's pre-nu metal -- but you can still feel the edginess in the film, and it feels ahead of its time.

This is the film about people having a car-crash fetish, right?

Literally never heard of them before today but seems like a pretty cool person from what I just saw.

He's hilarious. I know people will use him as a means to make fun of veganism -- but there's a really good interview with him where he basically says, even if his content is knowingly awkward and laughable it's at least getting people to talk about/think about veganism, which is the point.

In fairness, Islam is real. Nobody had ever heard of a "shaman diet" (outside of actual, legit Shamans which he sure as fuck isnt) until this fuck tool was arrested, it's clearly bullshit.

The dude looks like he's a keto-fuckhead for real, though

How do you feel about John Sakars?

organic food doesn't fall into human rights. school children deserve organic food, they don't get it. why should we prioritize terrorists?

I don't do outpatient internal medicine anymore but I can't think of any medical condition where you have to be on an organic-only diet. I can't think of any condition where you have to eat organic grass fed chicken and not standard non-organic chicken. You can tag all the healthcare professionals on this board and ask them as well.

No clue. The only things I can think up are if he has Celiacs and a lot of the "processed" foods he likely demonizes have gluten filler? Or if he has a corn or soy allergy, causing a reaction to a lot of common food additives?
I've had patients at my hospital that have had corn/soy/egg/dairy/etc. allergies all at once and it looked like a mess trying to see what they could order from room service. One time there was a patient with all those allergies and the parents insisted on trying to get the kid into ketosis (I'm pretty sure it was a congenital heart center patient -- if it was a pediatric neurology patient they would've been assigned a keto dietitian); obviously I contacted the RD to talk to that family.
But even though they're listed in the 6 most common food allergens -- soy and corn allergies don't come up that often, especially in tandem. That being said, the inclusion of food additives doesn't necessarily mean the food is GMO, non-organic, etc.
The family probably just wants their SnOWFlAkE to eat what they perceive as healthfully in prison. Coming from having had involvement with different CSAs/farmer's markets/etc. a lot of people into food activism fall in line with libertarian politics surprisingly.

Edit: This just screams food classism to me without knowing the finer details.
