My county always gets lumped in with other, more tornado-prone areas for weather alerts, so even though I know it’s extremely unlikely that I’ll actually have a tornado where I live it’s still so goddamn unsettling to see “TORNADO WATCH” on my phone every time I pick it up.

I have a personal vendetta against all games where the "evil path" is actively more fun to play Fuck you, Dishonored. Not my fault that your janky AI makes stealth a pain in the ass. You've given me the ability to eat them with rats and by god it's my right to do so


OmegaBlue231

Also the regular crossbow bolts are better for stealth than the sleep darts, so evil path is better than good at stealth too.

I tried replaying Kingdom hearts days but man the gameplay is so slow and the enemies/bosses have way too much HP. It sucks because the story is actually pretty good from what I remember. Damn shame this game had to be on the DS.


Redfall_GOTY_Winner

Stellar Blade I’m about 2/3rds of the way through the game. It’s genuinely fun. I haven’t played Nier or any of the other games I’ve seen compared to, but I would say it’s like if Jedi: Survivor had Sekiro’s parrying system. The two main critiques are the boob jiggle physics and the story. I can’t get over how so many characters have these absurd boob jiggles. All it does is give me severe secondhand embarrassment. And the story is ass. There’s no way around it, it’s horrible and so are the characters.


Magnanymous

I'm approaching this the same way I did with Nier: Automata (wait for the PC release, then wait for mods that give the characters actual clothes).


Redfall_GOTY_Winner

I would say 1/3rd of the outfits I’ve acquired fully clothe Eve from neck to toe. 1/3rd expose either the top or legs, and 1/3rd are basically lingerie. There’s one that covers her entirely in a bear suit as well. Gamers just don’t talk about those 1/3rd of outfits for obvious reasons.

'Reading the best single issue of Spider-Man in years, that's also everything I've claimed I want Spider-Man to be' Yeah, this is bad/ filler! C'mon Hickman!

StylishSuidae

Remembering the first time I watched the hbomb Fallout 3 video and came away with the lesson "sometimes it's good to engage with critiques of things you like, because you'll gain a better understanding of what does and doesn't work about it, and maybe even a better understanding of your own tastes" That lesson quickly led to the following lesson of "not every critique of things you like is going to be meaningful or valid. Sometimes they're just gonna be dumb and pointless" when I watched the Lily Orchard Steven Universe video, as well as a Mario Odyssey review by an author I can't remember where he opened by saying that he prefers linear platforming challenges to open world exploration challenges, but because that's his personal taste he wouldn't hold it against the game, before spending like an hour saying variants of "there's just a moon here. This game sucks. They should've put the entrance to a linear platforming challenge here instead, and put the moon at the end of that"


congaroo1

Ah the Joseph Anderson video. Yeah it wasn't great.


StylishSuidae

Honestly if he hadn't said that bit at the beginning of the video, I wouldn't have even been upset. Everyone's entitled to their tastes, if you don't like open world exploration then Mario Odyssey is just gonna be a bad game by your standards. It just frustrated me because he acted like he was setting his own preference aside and reviewing it "objectively", before just complaining that it didn't fit his preferences anyway.

Deputy Beagle always gets mad at you for programming the robot to be the sheriff of Primm but like bro, you could've assumed the role of sheriff yourself. "oh blah blah chain of command" but I'm pretty sure any chain of command allows for promotion if the guy on top dies. I could've programmed slim to be the new deputy but no, Lazy Ass Beagle always has to have things the easy way. Dragging my ass up and down the highway just to find a sheriff for Primm? Ain't no way, I'm in a hurry and you'll get what you get.


delta1x

I think that's exactly the point. Beagle wants a title and praise, but quite literally doesn't want to do jack shit to earn it. Being deputy means he can have that without being at any risk and can push off everything on the sheriff. And even the fucking robot recognize this and boot him out of the position when they become Sheriff lol.

InvisibleOne439

you know, i just realised that the series is called after them, but the Elder Scrolls are never really a bigger main focus of the games like yeha, they get used a couple times over all games but thats often in a very generic "magic mcguffin artifact" way that you grab and then forget about kinda weird


Lexmb

Ever think about how there's an inventory category specifically for scrolls and yet the Elder Scroll goes with the fucking books

_J0hnny_Topside

Kind of feeling the Resident Evil fever at the moment so I bought the RE3 remake on sale for like 9 bucks The order in which I've played these in has been absurd but idc, it just works As of now I've played 7, 2, 4, 8 and currently 4 remake, in that order


Redfall_GOTY_Winner

I played them in an absurd order as well. I went: 7, 8, 4R, 3R, 2R


Octopirox

one of us *one of us* **One Of Us** ***ONE OF US*** I played a silly order too but tbh it just works for the games. I think for me it was 2R, 7, 4, 3R, revelations, Code Veronica, Revelations 2(discontinued), 1R(Discontinued) 3O, 2O, 1R(new run), 6, Revelations 2(finished), 5 - and 8 and 4R when they released.


_J0hnny_Topside

I think the stories are isolated enough for me to not really miss anything, although when I first met Krauser in RE4 remake today I was like hold on what game is he from only to find out that he has no prior appearances and that the game just presents him like this


raptorama7

That's a pretty common experience for people who played RE4.


_J0hnny_Topside

More games should introduce a character no one has ever seen and then act like you're supposed to know who this is, I unironically loved how he's introduced here lol


chris_redfield_tits

They made his and Leon's backstory into its own thing in Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles. Pre-release of RE4R I was expecting that Seperate Ways would be there on release and **hoped** that any DLC would be an adaptación of that but.. it wasn't to be I guess


raptorama7

Lol yes, especially with a series as big as resident evil is now. I bet that a lot of people who play the previous games will just assume Krauser is from some spin off material or something.


_J0hnny_Topside

I have also played a little of RE1 but I don't count that because that was years ago and I haven't made it past the first couple rooms... I think, I don't remember Edit: Oh wait I also played Revelations 2 years ago

John Werry on his way to make some of the most dogshit official translations again.


xenoblaiddyd

Is the dude actually bad or considering manga release schedules are Viz's translations just really rushed in general


zedasmotas

It’s incredibly bad Most people prefer the tcb scans translations which is telling imo


xenoblaiddyd

I'm not disputing that, all I'm asking is since they named a specific guy whether it's just his stuff (or even just JJK) that's bad or if Viz's QC as a whole is subpar


[deleted]

It's just his stuff as far as I know. In fact JJK got a different translator for Chapter 236, someone going by the name Lightning, and everyone loved the translation for that and then John Werry came back after. For example of why John Werry kind of sucks is that in Chapter 256 >!Gojo says "I can't use black flash because of the Six Eyes," which makes no sense because he literally uses Black Flash in a fight. Even in the next page he talks about using it. So it's just weird seeing him say he can't use it to talking about how he's used it more times than another character. I assume it's him saying that to explain why he can't use it at will, but with how it's translated it makes it sound like he's saying he cannot use it at all, and then contradicts that later. In the fan translation he says "Why do you think I could use Black Flash at will? Is it because I have the Six Eyes?"!< >!Then in the most recent chapter there's stuff like saying that creating an actual barrier allows for an escape route when that's the opposite of what it actually does because the barrier is meant to keep people inside a domain because it's harder to break on the inside than it is on the outside.!< There's definitely other stuff that I don't exactly remember, but people have not liked this translator for a while.


xenoblaiddyd

I did a bit of digging and found another set of lines (don't know what chapter it's from since I don't have full context, so spoilers I guess?) where [Werry](https://i.redd.it/31fnrqb5rorc1.jpeg) translates the words they use in Japanese literally into something that's really obscure and confusing for English speakers while [TCB localizes it](https://preview.redd.it/ft7p97serorc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=428777b264fdcee948d9c8a178ce2cf0b9b46bbb) into something more widely understandable.

gundam battle operation 2 the good: its free its very generous with giving you Mobile Suits... almost too generous lots and lots of Robots HARO the bad: gameplay has its good points but its like an RTS but action game, like each attack and even switching weapons has a cool down, so, it can be really annoying to do anything, its and Bandinamco game, so the graphics are... not the best... but not the worst either, the ugo: matchmaking is ass, the game wont start unless all slots are full, and the way it divides the Mobile suits by battlerankings is some how worse then warthunder. so half the time is spent trying to find and get into a match that only last like 8 minutes. some of the maps are fine, some are just unplayable like the enemy team can just rush the spawn point and camp it the whole match.

Famous french critic radio show absolutely demolished Challengers, trashed it even. Not that they are right on everything of course but when all 4 participants dunk on it like that, oof. A heavy blow to my TL who's been gradually swarming me with this fucking movie as soon as the Dune promo ended.


TobiL123

Wonder what the next movie filmtwitter collectively decides is good before having seen it is going to be (I liked Dune 2 and I have not seen Challengers yet and have no opinion on its quality, this comment is directed at the behavior of folks online)


rats_in_computer

so what you're saying is that you hate dune 2?


TobiL123

Does Zendaya have another movie coming up?


zedasmotas

Fun fact : challengers is rated 12 where I live lmao https://preview.redd.it/w92b4e8jp9xc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ea1bf48a867d958d6254b8157db87a8f8ae33e4

_J0hnny_Topside

People of the unshit thread who live in NRW Germany. It's time to get some state sponsored books again https://www.politische-bildung.nrw.de/publikationen/bestellhinweise


raptorama7

I had to look up what the NRW is and I was sad to see that Westphalia wasn't it's own entity anymore, mostly since it's the only internal part of Germany I know about aside from Bavaria lol.


Octopirox

technically it is its own entity just on a region level not on a state Level. You can blame the Brits for Westphalia not being a state. They formed NRW 1946 in the "Operation Marriage". In short to secure their access to the Ruhr river, the Rhine Ruhr area steel and mining industy and the mining industry of westphalia and other parts from the French and Russians. Also they feared that the rhine ruhr area as its own state like the french wanted it to be would be more prone to communism as a very industrial heavily populated worker area so they hoped mixing some rural provinces into the mix would help outvote the communism. (it worked) very short summary glossing over a lot of finer details why they decided things. Ironically while the original thought was to keep the communists down these days the rhine ruhr area votes a lot more right wing than other parts of germany (excluding sachsen) so being lumped together with the mostly conservative voting provinces isn't ideal but it does keep the afd down.


raptorama7

I figured it would be because of post war reorganization. Though Britain worrying about the French at all post war is very funny to me. You'd think they'd understand by that point that they were gonna be stuck with the french as allies while the USSR was still around.


Octopirox

yeah but the rhine ruhr area at the time was Germany's industrial power house, even in the bombed thate that it was in after ww2, so everyone wanted a piece of it and have it under shared control while the brits had it and obviously wanted to keep it.


raptorama7

Oh yeah! Especially since strategic bombing hadn't actually done that much to stop German industrial production from growing over the course of the war and that the Germans in the Rhur were surrounded and surrendered and it wasn't the site of a massive battles like in Berlin or Silesia. It was just funny to me that the Brits were competing with the French for power and influence even here. Though I guess it wouldn't be until the Suez crisis that the UK would realize that it's time as a great independent imperial power was over, so that tracks.

Me neither but it's almost free and if my state gives me to opportunity to educate myself I will do just that 🫡 just a little later🫠 but this thread is full of germans and statistically being the most populated state and all I'm sure we're not the only ones who find this relevant so I keep posting it every year https://preview.redd.it/99bl1wn5p9xc1.jpeg?width=558&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f86a1edec6ce94f46e2920ff4a8ef32a31580389 this year's choice

Speaking of bleach, Tite Kubo mentioned that they will only use the manga as a base for the next seasons What are the odds of bleach thousand year blood war arc having an original ending completely different than the one in the game

So a few days ago, I get a hospital bill from a visit last month, saying I suddenly owe them $600 even though I was told I only had to pay $120 (which I did pay) when I was there. The bill is tight-lipped about what exactly I'm paying for, so I go to the payment site to see if I can get a bill breakdown and the bill isn't in their system. It just doesn't exist. And I can't make a payment not associated to a bill so... I check my credit card balance today and it's actually in the black because the hospital has *refunded* me the $120 copay I paid while I was there I go to check the payment site again to see if I can get any clue what's going on, and the SSL cert has expired, so firefox yells at me when I try to access it. what the fuck


StylishSuidae

Oh and also in the middle of my initial "what the fuck is this bill for" investigation, I looked through my claims history with my insurance and none of the numbers I see are even close to the $600 total, and all the "you pay" numbers are $0.


Machine_Gun_Jubblies

The same shit happened to me, but it was for random doctors who visited me in the hospital. I ignored it at first and it dinged my credit so good luck in figuring it out.


fragilityv3

Been slowly playing through the new FF16 DLC. Neat to see this game's version of Mysidia, not too long after playing FF4 and seeing that Mysidia. Wasn't expecting >!the whole "Leviathan is actually a baby frozen in time" thing!<. Could make a joke about how >!that explains why Leviathan looked so little in screenshots.!< The sidequests aren't much different from the base game, but I don't really mind them since there isn't an overload of them (yet).

Random Kagurabachi discussion under another series' chapter. It has truly made it as a series :tearofjoy: MHA chapter this week is fire too


zedasmotas

Yeah, it was “ very end game “ imo


dIoIIoIb

I feel like MHA is a lot edgier than kagurabachi. 'Bachi is comparable to Naruto, I think. I wouldn't call JJK edgy as much as it's just... stupid. the author just likes the villains more than the heroes, so they keep killing people. He's not trying to be dark, he just doesn't give a shit.


zedasmotas

Mha is edgy when it needs to be but hori trying to make afo a deeper villain than he actually is was definitely something. Jjk villains just gives me aizen 2.0 vibes to me which is a fine and you are right, gege definitely likes them more than the heroes. Tite likes both imo

The thing with HellDivers 2 is that while, sure the Airburst launcher is buggy and seems to not have an activation distance (something almost any rocket propelled munition thing usually has), it’s very easily lore explained. Super Earth is being ran by Musk and his “let the end users beta test it”
