Armagon Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 8 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: It's worth noting this is, once again, not a "Europe" thing. Spain is Corruption Central, of course nobody cares about piracy. A lot of the tech-based laws in Europe do tend to come from the EU itself. Of course, piracy is illegal everywhere, it's just that most governments don't give a shit. Related but the whole "not a Europe" thing honestly comes back to the EU. It strips y'all of some individuality ngl. It's why Europe tends to get viewed as monolithic. When I crossed over to Portugal, there was a big sign that said "Portugal" but instead of the Portuguese flag, it had the EU flag. EU isn't a country, why is it's flag everywhere? I saw products that said "Made in Spain", I have some of those souvenir license plates with my name on it, I got it at Santiago de Compostela but the flag on that license plate wasn't the Spanish one, it was the EU flag. Your license plates from Portugal to Italy are all exactly the same. Like there's definitely a reason why Europe tends to get viewed more monolithic by Americans than other parts of the world. Cause y'all do it to yourselves, this doesn't happen anywhere near as much with Asia or South America. Africa's a weird one but tbf a lot of the countries there aren't even a century old. Just my thoughts on the whole thing, cause I definitely seen it a lot when Americans are like "why does Europe" and then you got a bunch of Europeans complaining that they're being viewed as monolithic when they're not. They aren't monolithic but there's a reason that public image exists at least online I think. 3 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Good thing anime has both grills and bearbs Or grills with bearbs There's a Granblue character like this.

If I was going to dip my toes into Old Ys, where would you suggest I begin? I was just thinking while the present Steam sale was going on that I'd possibly pick one up. The wholly-unrelated-to-Ys first thing I checked the price for was Eternights, but it's only $9 off and I think I'll wait for Xmas before buying that. The "Smutroidvania" I was considering isn't on sale at all either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ys Origin has a demo - if you like it, you can get it and Oath as they play very similarly (and so does Ark, but it's not as polished or good as the other 2 imo) Ys 1/2 are an acquired taste due to bump combat (especially 1, 2 imo is much more fun thanks to magic) but they also cost together like 3 bucks - can never go wrong with that.

I'll keep this in mind. Thank you.😃 Maaaybe 1&2? To actually get to the very beginning of the decades-long journey. Not knowing the ancient era of the franchise firsthand (well, in a modernized form) feels a little awkward when I've now four later journeys behind me. "Medieval Ys", as in the pre-Seven post-something era, doesn't bother me quite as much. -But then with me, nothing is set in stone until it is.😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the vast cultural differences between each country? I mean, sure, I guess. I also couldn't tell you the difference between Americans beyond "Texan" and "default American", so. Maybe it's just a human thing. Edited November 24, 2023 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the vast cultural differences between each country? I'm saying it presents a big unified front. Like a pseudo-country. I can't think of any other alliance where they put the flag of the alliance everywhere. Of course there are big cultural differences between each country but again, South America and Asia are not viewed anywhere near as monolithic for a reason. Also the amount of posts I've seen that began with some variation of "as a European" as opposed to "as a *citizen of country*" /s 16 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: >boss Rush AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i am not ready Standard fare. 2 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: You should be....there's 3 of you........
