Acacia Sgt Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Once I get the money to get the Expansion Pack in less than a month now, I'll resume my playtime of SRW 30. ... SRW 30 got first announced on June 15 last year. It's almost a full year since that and I still can't believe we finally got a mainline SRW 30 to release internationally... and could become the first of many to come. Like, OMG. On that subject, let's see if we can the get second international mainline announced next week or so...

Others in the testing server have told me she's one of the least useful units in the game. ...But it seems that's just because, while her combat is great, she lacks utility other than combat. Which is okay, I mean, that just means she's below the boring healer with a dance staff in the pros' tier list. What do I care about that? Penny's still earned my favor just based on her introduction. 1 minute ago, Shrimpolaris said: seems like the strong early game continues towards midgame? Haha, well, I'm only in chapter 7x yet. This is the first map that I hadn't seen back in my JP version attempt. Still, I can say that this one map does continue the game's overall higher quality than VS1. Will continue to keep you guys up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need more writing to solidify it. Merric is only one of three 100% Merrics in FE after all, Soren being the last, and Asbel being the second. 55 minutes ago, Dayni said: As for GS, a reboot would be understandable after how DD was going forward. Maybe it'd have to be a full reboot of the first two as well though, I could see just putting the original two forward in (Insert current year) to be difficult given the changes that have come to the genre and gaming since they came out. Agreed. The gameplay in GS is much too basic and the character writing is too simplistic. It needs a lot of improvement.  2 hours ago, Shrimpolaris said: Compare them with american series/movies that have sex scenes but aren't classified as porn Sooooooo 50% of all non-children's/documentary films? Thank for you for the definitions Kama Sutra Shrimpy Senpai!😃  2 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Sometimes there can be issue separating things. Just in general two non-related people can't have a close bond without people thinking it has to go beyond friendship... Reminds me that in the late 18th century self-aware novel Jacques the Fatalist, the narrator complains that all the reader wants is love stories! Humans can't get enough of them. (The 1700s was the century when the epistolary novel, which eventually became the plain old novel, exploded in popularity. The two most popular genres were adventure tales and romance.) Which is why Homo sapiens delenda est. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good artists therein, and there are bad ones who are lazy and cut corners b/c they think sex alone will sell enough. The latter are probably too visible in the hentai market, I haven't checked. Compared to western porn's dark underbelly of human trafficking, hentai is a significantly more ethical way to pleasure one's self. 6 hours ago, ping said: Civilization VI: Gilgabro. I mean, come on. Ah, classic. For ages civ has represented Mesopotamia with the two civs of Assyria and Babylon, and it was only until Civ 6 that they were combined into the one idea of Sumer with both a science and a military focus (Sort of) thus leaving the room for more unique civs to introduce themselves. So of course they brought back Babylon 3 expansions later just to spite me. 15 hours ago, Newtype06 said: Proof Emotion and trust is the core of any good sexual relationship, and while I often see a lack of this in media depicting sex, stuff like this gives me faith.

Saint Rubenio Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Chapter 8 done. A somewhat more mundane map than the rest, but still decently interesting. It also had the greatest dialogue ever, featuring, you guessed it, Karajan. Quite funny stuff, and to top it off, he got a personal tome out of it. It's the brave 2-3 nosferatu that's been carrying him, but even better. So uh, yeah. This guy is so good. I know, I know, like 70% of my shilling on this game revolves around the one joke character, but... Look, did you expect any less? Just now, Shrimpolaris said: glad to hear that! Very glad to find out, myself! Just now, Shrimpolaris said: If only you could land me a beta spot xD Ahh, I'm afraid it's too late. My apologies. As for before, we were asked not to reveal the beta-test's existence until after it began. Probably to avoid having the server swarmed by folks eager to get the game early, haha. I simply lucked out by joining the server when I did. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 His face aside, he doesn't look quite like a joke character. Considering mage/healer hybrids are so rare in these games. I mean, there was Lee in Tear Ring Saga and that's it. Then the next best thing would be Saphira with Starlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering mage/healer hybrids are so rare in these games. I mean, there was Lee in Tear Ring Saga and that's it. Then the next best thing would be Saphira with Starlight. Owen. Still, valid point. Not to mention a fact I neglected to mention: long range healing staves are exclusive to him. Well, the dark mage classes, but I believe he's the only one that's playable. Even in a strict pro setting, I'd say there's still value to him, between that and his great prf. He's very much a joke character, but he isn't a joke unit. Important distinction. EDIT: Gotta make a correction. Not all long-range healing staves are exclusive to Karajan, but the better ones are. Still a quality unique to him.

Thank for you for the definitions Kama Sutra Shrimpy Senpai!😃 The wise Sergeant Fred Colon of the Ankh-Morpork night watch has made a very astute observation: "Nude women are only Art if there’s an urn in it. Or a plinth. Best is both, o’course. It’s a secret sign, see, that they put in to say that it’s Art and okay to look at." He does acknowledge some additional Art identifiers, such as a high number of "i"s in the artist's name, or a fat little cherub holding a fan or a mirror. Obviously, you can't get urns everywhere. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it's all porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really weird. Heck, one scene would have been fairly gratuitous. I was also a bit surprised that they're allowed to show that stuff in school, but... well, perhaps they assume that everyone's a degenerate. That, or we're allowed to watch stuff with high enough budgets. It does make me wonder why nudity is such a no-no even in M-rated games, though. I do find a bit weird that we hide bodies in general, especially since bodies are just bodies- they're only as sexualized as you make 'em. I guess the media decides to really ramp up the sexualization aspect of 'em when they do show it. Makes it a bit of a catch-22. 3 minutes ago, ping said: Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it's all porn. "Wait, it's all porn?" *cocks gun* "Always has been."

Or you mean the ones that don't have as many? I was on about shows with 3 scenes per episode. I'm just wondering why I just don't catch anything with multiple sex scenes (Aside from GoT, which I'm miles behind on and definitely has sexless episodes) Can't say I've seen none with any scenes lately because I recently started Stranger Things but they've not shown much of anything explicit there (...so far, I am early on with that show). 3 minutes ago, Benice said: I was also a bit surprised that they're allowed to show that stuff in school, but... well, perhaps they assume that everyone's a degenerate.

I remember our class (who were all late teens) watching the Basketball Diaries being immediately stopped because a sex scene showed up 20 minutes in. For reference, this same class had watched The Last King of Scotland and if you've seen it..... well, you might remember the fate of a certain character. Why yes, it was a religious class we had to do despite none of us doing it for exams in that cycle. That's it.
