ping Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Aw, looks like the randomiser doesn't cover the legendary gerbils. 😕 That, or Entei became Raikou. Eh. I guess its level is high enough to be insta-evolved and Kingler does have a pretty immense attack stat, but I don't think SideshwBob (my HM Krabby is nicknamed Krusti, you see) is going to see much use. Pictured: The guy who is about to give Ruben an existential crisis by being too nice. Team Rocket had a pretty impressive haul of legendaries: a bunch of Regirock on the respecitive first trainers from the statue cameras... ...a random grunt with both Shaymin and Latias... ...and fucking GOD in the service of that Hyuck-hyuck guy. On the plus side, KnuffelCthulu is now officially a full-grown cosmic horror, tearing apart the very fabric of space. Lucky roll with the Hidden Power TM And Poison Ivy is an intergalactic virus. Lucky roll with the Secret power TM; Lake of Rage was very lucrative despite the Yellow Krabby not being the greatest thing ever Speaking of intergalactic viruses, the last boss fight of the rocket hideout was really appropriate, with the grunt sending out two rather scrubby Pokemon while Ariana comes out with frigging Deoxys and Salamence.

Saint Rubenio Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Spring sale at Steam has started. Thank God Octopath II did not go on sale. If it had, this early, buying it at release would've shot up to the top of my list of lifelong regrets. As is, it can sit pretty in my list of mid-tier regrets, alongside buying more DLCs for Payday 2 than I care to admit and The Witcher trilogy for no reason. In brighter news, I got Triangle Strat. Probably won't start it right now, but I got it. Went on a pretty good sale, but I took the bait and got Various Daylife alongside it. Probably will never play it, but it was only 4 extra bucks... Yeaaaaaaah they got me with the oldest trick in the book. That's embarrassing. Oh well, no problem. I can just sell Octopath 1 alongside my copy of Switch TriStrat and make my buck back entirely. In the unlikely event I ever play that game again, despite the existence of Octo II, I'll probably just emulate it.

I really gotta get around to playing it so I can compensate for the newly added regret of buying Octopath II at full price. Maybe after TriStrat and Engage 2. If nothing else comes up.

Interdimensional Observer Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The Steam Spring Sale? It has finally dropped to the price point I wanted it at. I want the Switch version because I feel like this would be a cozy handheld game and wouldn't need a big screen. But Maglam Lord on Switch is not on sale even though it is on Steam b/c the Steam Spring Sale has started. IDK why. IDK if I should wait and see, or just buy on Steam (looks like it was the opposite once before last year -sale on Switch, but not Steam). Yes I see that "~" I know the reviews are mixed (6-7 range), I checked, I read a few, I've learned of its flaws. Although ML is not with positive aspects that leave me wanting it. And this has crossed the price threshold where I feel less stupid for buying it -if not without some hesitation even so. Maybe Maglam Lord is half-trash, but then people eat junk food IRL. They can regularly spend several times more each month on junk food than on this one little game. And that garbage has processed sugar, excessive sodium, and cholesterol that make people unhealthy. A video game has 0 milligrams of any of that stuff! Yes, I have to talk myself into overcoming buyer's hesitation. -This ain't for anyone else here, I've merely a weird interest in this.🙃 3 hours ago, ping said: ..a random grunt with both Shaymin and Latias... You've ended up in mirror world, where people don't complain of Team Rocket using weaklings all the time, and instead kvetch about them being too strong. 2 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Nothing tingles my heart like the sweet delicious taste of suffering ^_^ Hmm... Looks scaly. Dragon girl who cannot possibly live among humans/love them? Petrification curse? Non-curse special incurable illness?😈 1 hour ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: One of those maybe An SRPG, a Metroidvania, what looks like a VN, and I think Automata is a not-overly-complicated nor Souls-hard action game. Quite the variety you're considering. Nier: Automata is considered a masterpiece by many -but then that just means you might personally find it severely overrated.😜 Published by Square isn't a good sign for you, but the dev was Platinum Games. -Although their most recent collaboration was Babylon's Fall.🤣😝 As for Ender Lilies, there is a sea of indie Metroidvanias out there nowadays. Cast your net and you're bound to catch some. Nonetheless, I do recall particularly positive reviews for Quietus of the Knights, looks to be a 8 or 8.5/10 for its average score. I can't say anything about the other two games. 1 hour ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Still busy with Engage and wanna finish Sparks of Hope & Astral Chain after That's part of being a gamer if you ask me.😃 Not getting too distracted by shiny new/on sale games so that you actually play and appreciate what you already own.😆 7 hours ago, Armagon said: 2 hours ago, Armagon said: Seriously why does it go so hard. I'm not sure what genre Skull Dungeon sounds like. I want to say the beat would actually work for something religious, but I'm not sure if it'd be a Catholic, Orthodox, or Jewish composition. Not a light, airy one, something more rhythmic (monk (with a dangling incense burner swinging in hand)/rabbi swaying back and forth with the holy tune), serious, "earthly" and energetic in its reverence toward God. I know, strange thought for the sounds of a lava-filled Zelda dungeon.😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpica Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Absolute status of Leif's paralogue on Maddening. 12 turns of paladin farming after i warpkilled ballista.

"Too strong" is probably exaggerated. The Johto level curve is still a bit whack, so it's a LITERAL POKEMON GOD facing a bog-standard Vileplume that is 10 levels higher than it. I don't know how the stats between those two compare exactly, but the Rocket hideout wasn't too tough, all things concidered. The real challenges have been gym leaders, like Morty's Walrein doing Whitney!Miltank things (i.e. use the ice-type Rollout) or Jasmine's Gengar one- or two-shotting everything on my team. I had to postpone the latter, although I'd say that Ivy with a super-effective, 140 base power attack should be able to nuke that Gengar. inb4 she follows up with Mewtwo and Kyogre 2 minutes ago, Newtype06 said: Is this the best Disney song?

Sooks Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Osvald 4 is surprisingly good. There’s a disturbing moment, in a good way, and ten a twist that actually fixes my main problem with it… chapter 3 is redeemed. The fact that I’m horribly undrr leveled for bosses is starting to get a little annoying, but I don’t feel like grinding. I have been pulling through, though. 9 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: I'm also playing through the game on Hard, which I'll probably regret at some point...

I wasn't sure if they would be when I first read them in Zero. Of course they'll probably give away all the endgame twists, so I don't think they'll be completed anytime soon. 1 hour ago, ping said: Star Wars is officially a Disney franchise now, is it not..?
