Mushoku Tensei was great and I can't wait for the end of September, so I can watch s2. Glad it's getting a second season.

Anyhoo, post about games and anime in here and have fun.

games

Treasure Adventure Game was added to steam, so I gave it a replay and then replayed the remake (Treasure Adventure World)

Such a charming game... good music; which is what I wanna talk about

The music is heavily motif'd, something I'd almost call an 'evolving bassline'... it's more noticable in TAG than in TAW.

Somora is just charming... you're in a worm colony chatting with friendly worms and crawling through the dirt to solve puzzles...

Was reading some Det Conans again today, and I can't help but think how fucking stupid the treasure hunt story with the Italian thieves was. If a guy was hiding his money, why the fuck would he need to make a map if it was in a pretty obvious place? And why bother hiding it in an open area anyway? And how exactly are you going to sneak that shit up on a bridge?

I love Conan, but there are some serious logical gaps involved in trying to make these stories work.

Okay I agree with the statement that someone said how Monster could be turned into a live action show and nothing would change.

Monster is great.

Also maybe I am not that up to date with recent live action series but it seems like what just happened in Monster would NEVER happen in an American show.

You have shows like Breaking Bad where people get dissolved in bathtubs of acid but Monster's episode 49 just had the villain teach an orphan that no one wanted him because he was born in the red light district and had him learn by having him go visit the district where his mom got pregnant in and then the kid meet prostitutes to see if he can find his actual mom, realizes he isnt actually wanted and his mom never cared about him and at one point even witnesses a sexual act in an alleyway.

Granted this is one episode out of 74 so it isnt as much of an emotional rollercoaster but sheesh this show is always surprising me in ways I never thought possible even after watching anime for over a decade.

Edit:
Finished the episode and I cried, okay?

Backed a couple of JRPG / VN-style games on Kickstarter, one from a dev I have backed before. Both already hit their goals, but I feel the need to start feeding my Steam account again. Did the smart thing, though: I no longer have a credit card attached to Steam, so I now only buy things on there with Steam cards.

Also reshuffled my DVD shelf, so, in the midst of a new bunch of cult movies and obscure '80s cartoons, I will try to revisit some of my older anime.

Watched the latest slime episode and damn man. It's got me all excited again. This anime has the same appeal as an idle game. Near effortless exponential growth. Yet with this anime, it manages to be engaging. Can't wait till next episode which presumably will be a lot more chill and spend half the time explaining various upgrades everyone gets and the aftermath of this episode. Demon dude is pretty awesome as well.

Although at this point I'm not really sure how they will ever have any real stakes in the future. Rimiru was already not far from the storngest being and now...

I feel like I should stop rewatching/reading my old favorite series, but on the other hand I always say time enjoyed is time not wasted.

Currently (re)watching Spice and Wolf & Bartender. Rereading Kenichi, and finally started Future Diary (this bitch is cray). Playing Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Bravely Default (original), and various Super Mario World romhacks ever since I played the game a little bit on Mario Day (Mar10).

Old hair was better IMO but she still cute and still hilarious.

About 28 or so hours until MH rise comes out. Seems the end of the game is literally unfinished and tells you to go kill a monster but then theres just no quest or way to do so until they give us a free update in a month.

This is probably the one time in my life where thats not a huge deal to me though since I'll be happy if I can handle playing an hour or two a day.

Yeah, the game having an unfinished ending kinda bummed me out when I heard the news.

Especially since being stuck at home gives me like 4-5 hours each day for games, so I'll most likely finish the whole thing long before the update rolls around.

Looks like I'll just have to craft every armor set and every weapon to fully maximize everything I can in the game.

I wish I still had time for Monster Hunter, I just sink too much time into it because I want a specific armor set for each class because I generally always loved going many different classes.

But I really could go for some pure lancer gameplay, that was always one of my favorite classes especially when they added the counter mechanic for it. I have played seriously since MH3U even though had 4.

Finished last dungeon kid. It was ok. I feel like the gimmick wore a bit thin by the end of it. Too lighthearted to really be "bad" but it wasn't all that good either. The characters all seem extremely 1 dimensional.

The anime or the manga? And it's kind of a mixed bag, especially in the beginning of the series. I liked the manga enough that I would have kept following it, but either the scanlators or hosting ended after the first major arc and I never got around to seeing if it was available anywhere else.

And in general it's not one of those series where you look for depth. It's basically just another gimmick series kinda riding the coattails of things like OPM.

The anime. I'm not looking for like a ton of depth, but every character is a one note gimmick and it just stops being funny before 12 episodes are up. The only character with even a smidgen of personality beyond their gimmick is the one with the mythril arm. Belt girl just talks about lloyd and nothing else all the time forever. Farmer guy only talks about farming. Punchy girl only talks about "master i will marry you, teach me your ways". Axe guy is like the girl but not trying to marry him. Alka is just trying to get with lloyd. Even the bad guys only ever talk about lloyd.

Comparing it to one punch man does one punch man a disservice because those characters actually do have some depth. They consist of at least a little bit more than 1 gag repeated endlessly, even if they do have gags they repeat, like everything dying in one punch. I'm not looking for crazy depth but at least come up with some new jokes here and there.

Eh, not sure how close the anime is to the manga, although I don't remember anybody being super-deep in the manga and a bunch of characters had recurring gags.

idk, some of characters are pretty one-note and, more importantly, the whole gimmick is one-note which is where the comparison is really being drawn. Most arcs are just build-up to Saitama showing up and finishing off the enemy who everybody jobbed to with... One Punch! >_>

Again, there are plenty using this gimmick or variants thereof, like that one crappy isekai I was reading (and talking about) a while back where the scanlators said "Fuck it, we're done!" at the end of the last chapter. (And, to a lesser extent, Hero? follows that format, although he has the secondary gimmick of generally trying to hide his power so he doesn't just one-shot every villain despite being able to.)

I mean yeah but he still is a terrible hero even if he beats them in one punch. Thats part of the charm for me. Oops Saitama wrecked a city block while defeating big baddie lmaO. Also all of the side cast are so charming I love seeing their personal struggles happen before the god saitama shows up.

mafia/werewolf gameplay backbone

the other 14 characters all have their tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses, so it becomes very easy to recognize what's going on when you have some experience, but there's also a stats system where the more you play the easier it gets

its a balancing act of managing "aggro" from both crew (who vote you out) and gnosia (who just outright kill 1 person per night), while also disposing of those you're against

the vn aspects are actually pretty short, but strong, as they correlate into each character's strengths and weaknesses. you might discover one person will unconditionally defend another person at all costs... and you need to recognize that's not an indicator of whether someone is "bad" or "good"

definitely worth $25

edit: btw only on switch tho

from a mechanical aspect its kinda fascinating, how everyone manages their own hate tables based on who they're friends with, whether they're gnosia, their own personal tendencies, etc

for you, everything's over when you've been eliminated... but the evil side probably isn't gonna target you if you're only supporting others who are suspicious of them

I have been hardcore fiending MH rise. It's way more fun than I was expecting. Rampage sucks though. The actual combat and movement just feels great. The doggo is awesome. The town music is god tier (I'm a huge sucker for that like...I actually don't know what to call it. Vocal fantasy music?). It's a lot like the OP of jobless reincarnation for a recent example. I love that shit and the village music is a great version of it. The new monsters are all pretty fun so far. Magnamalo is scary as hell to fight, amuldron is like a not miserable to fight najarala, best monsters zinogre and narga are back. I'm having a great time.

Village is too easy though. Hub is a solid MH experience.
