How hasn't the US realized voting in favor of these UN assertions means absolutely nothing about society, culture, and economics has to actually change? Does it not realize how many corrupt and or inept regimes across the political spectrum have voted in favor of these? It's all purely paper promises. Oh yeah, these votes mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's just that, of course the US would vote against a basic and free access to food. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and all that nonsense. 2 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: (even though One Piece's length is why I can never get into it) Maybe one day when it actually finishes. 2 hours ago, Benice said: I even started the break at the best part, when best boy joins the party... Sabaku no wa ORE NO STANDO DA 1 hour ago, Benice said: I can't really explain it well because my JRPG brain is tiny (seriously, 90% of the thread could explain it better than me) but it's kind of a blend between an ARPG and a JRPG with lots of interactive elements; you certainly don't just press attack. A major aspect of it is using different team setups that can do different things and trigger different combos, and there's lots of experimentation you can do. Furthermore, the difficulty's completely customizable, so you can make it as hard as you want. To be fair Benice, explaining Xenoblade combat and actually showing it are two completely different things. Trails is a JRPG you could get away with explaining the combat through text. Xenoblade? Not so much. Also the customizable difficulty is one of the bonuses of the DLC so unless Ruben feels like shelling out an extra $30 (which granted, is worth it because Torna ~ The Golden Country), he won't have that option. 14 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: DSV is beauty and despair in a game So i should stay away from DSV.

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 38 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: oof Be careful while driving! Do not get distracted! Again, an almost. I pulled out of a parking lot a juuust little too far trying to get a better look before making my turn. Admittedly, thankfully the approaching vehicle slowed down and I had a passenger with me who alerted me of my error. -What if there wasn't the vigilant passenger? Let's not give that too much thought.😅 Honestly, when I finally get my license -hopefully this year because 10 years of delay out of lethargy and kindness is enough- I think I'll have to utter a prayer every time I go out alone. Maybe I can develop a mind of complete focus. But I've my doubts. When enthralled in a good video game, I still find myself susceptible to distraction. When I read a good book or magazine, I try to concentrate (and end up sneezing because of it, IDK why) but often end up having to lightly tap myself on the head once and again to remind myself to set aside irrelevant things and focus on the text in front of me. I don't need music, I don't need a phone call, I don't need another passenger. All I need is my, myself, and my lovely mind, and I'm capable of being very lost in thoughts all *wham*. Which combined with mental and physical reflexes that aren't exactly the greatest... 😐 Why does the US have to have such lousy public transportation? And why'd I have to be born too soon for the self-driving automobile? I have little choice but to drive, and hope that the triad of: complacency from a daily routine, my own physiological ineptitude, and the possibility of distraction doesn't result in auto repair and insurance hikes, or ya know, worse.⚰️ 24 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: "Henshin"?

It's called an "incubus".: "A male demon of popular European folklore during medieval ages and the counterpart to the Succubus. They are known to visit women in their sleep and have sex with them. The offspring born from these incidents are said to later become witches and wizards." Although Wikipedia states the concept goes back as far as Mesopotamia and thus the beginnings of the human civilization/written history.

Shrimpica Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, Sooks said: You’re saying this game has suffering? Tell me more… Witches, between being hunted and dying to their own curse... The story is rather predictable, but the Cast is really reallly really good. One of my all time fav. in that regard Quote TL;DR: Good: Characters, Character interaction, Gameplay meh: predicatble Story. Full review: While the story is pretty predictable, the real treat is how the Characters grow together and try to live in the tragedy that is their life. Between all the sadness, death and despair, normal life and happy moments are just a treat, and are worth so much more. Not to mention how Characters prespictive change through the Story. And between all the sadness, while the characters are sometimes close to giving up, they don't, and try their best to solve the misery they are in. Gameplay is also pretty fun. It's Radiant Historia, but in 3D. Right down to traps not affecting big bosses xD One thing i really love about the game is the Skill System. Using 'devour' Attacks, you can devour the enemies and steal the attacks and skills of your enemies and unlock then use them for yourself. It makes for great customizability, and some of the most fun i ever had in Menus in rpgs. Of course, such a system comes with limits as to not break the system too much. Each ability has an equipment Cost, and the total cost can not exceed 20 for each type (Physical, Magical, Devour and passives). You can also only 'equip' max. 5 skills of each type at a time. The devour system also helps with dealing with annoying tanky late game mobs which plagues almost every jrpg, since with devour Attakcs you have a chance (which you can increase) to one shot enemies. Really makes the game more fun & smooth. Doesn't work on Bosses of course (but you still get their Attacks when you defeat bosses). The music is also pretty damn good! Also, fellow Falcom peeps might recognize some stuff in there 😉 Honestly, the only stuff i am meh about are some plot points that happen late game, because they kinda happen a bit too fast/rushed, and the 'gift' sytem, but that's optional so eh. Now, i've noticed alot of people aren't happy with a so-called 'sister system' to explain what it is without making a wall-o-text, it's an anti grind mechanic. As long as you don't grind and fight every enemy you meet only once, you should be good to go really. my review of it when i played it a couple years back.

I mean you can balance it out. Honestly tho, it's just like, kinda hard for me to enjoy stories where bleakness and despair and depression are the main themes and whatnot. Like even if it's written well i just.....don't want it. Like if a story has elements of that, that's fine but i personally would not want it to be the main focus. 13 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: And why'd I have to be born too soon for the self-driving automobile? Well the self-driving automobiles that we see in fiction are still a ways off. Tesla has a few models but there's been cases where they make potentially fatal mistakes. Like i did read about this one case where a Tesla autopilot car crashed into another car, killing the driver and passanger of the latter. The driver of the former is being charged with manslaughter and it's the first case of "if a death is caused by an autopilot vehicle, who is to blame?".

Punished Dayni Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 6 minutes ago, Sooks said: What’s Radiant Historia like, for the unaffiliated? Turn based (but you get turn order on and you can move your unit's order and delete enemy turns with an ability), your enemies are on a grid you can move them around on with certain moves and your party each has different skill sets to work with. The map's 2D sprites and top down, you get pretty simple puzzles in it and the story involves time travel. I won't say more on that. Shrimpy made those points and where there's a demo, but I had to say I am a big fan of the game as well (A favourite of mine for original titles on the DS) and played it legally and not so much (The original did not come out here). And hopefully it'll be on sale for real cheap again, I've seen it go below €10 on sale. 7 minutes ago, Shrimpresident said: how i thought 3H will be like in that regard Yeah I did not get my hopes up for that.
