Remember kids. When playing against folks who aren’t as good at a game as you, that’s the time to either practice dumb silly shit or use the weapons you don’t normally use.
Like, unless yall are labbing, it really sucks the air out of the room to dominate everyone.
It doesn’t need to be big to do it’s job!😡
I use the phrase codified. For example Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 didn’t invent fighting or exploring in 3D, but both established a baseline of what it should feel like.
Pokemon took what SMT/Dragon Quest/Mother was putting down, simplified and refined the vibe and made it more accessible.
Both games have full implented battle systems.
Cobblemon allows you to move while battling, and has faint animations.
Pixelmon is more feature complete, but it’s glitchier.
Definitely play it on a server. The procedural generated gyms are cool, but nothing beats humans.
Someone’s gotta show Lost Odyssey some love.
It’s such a shame. Pokemon has so much potential, but Gamefreak/TPC are… a bit shitty.
They could take a leaf from Morrowind. Open world, but use terrain and fog to hide the limitation and funnel the players along the points of interest.
Then late game let them go nuts, flying everywhere seeing the less than pretty areas.
Like Breath of the Wild had some empty ugly areas, but the worse areas were off the beaten path.
Also the bland areas were also usually hiding a shrine or something.
Lecturing a Chan user on condangs is like asking your dog his thoughts on the Flat Tax.
We’ve fucked. It may have been a while, it might not have been particularly good; but we did make a sex.
Incidentally a plurality of users are trans/nb, furries and/or anarchist. Trust me.
IIRC, it’s more that they over time figure out what sounds and actions get their owner’s attention. We respond better, unconsiously or otherwise when they meow at us.
My old cat figured out, before I did, that if she knocks shit off the coffee table I get up and check if her bowl is empty.
Generally wild/feral adult cats are more or less mute outside of anger/mating/territory calls, but domesticated cats keep their kitten vocalizations if we respond to them.
My current cat is very vocal and we responded playfully to his meowing as he grew up.
Edit: Here’s a scientific american blog/article about it. I don’t think it’s something we have confirmation on, just a good hunch.
If you like the settlement building in Fallout 4, Humble Bundle’s got House Flipper 1+DLC on sale for five bucks.
What was the thought process? Nightmares.
It started as a prank, but now fascists unironically use the ok sign.
It’s a dog whistle. They use something innocent to signal to others in their ingroup, and call people stupid when they call them out on it.
The tattoo is excellent, but to permanently have it on your skin is a level of irony poisoning I aspire to have one day.
An upside of apocalyptic environmental collapse due by the end of the century is The Elders™ trying to explain their very specific joke tattoos to the younglings.
For a more bitter sweet memory. I love cinnamon shnappes. For some reason my brain really latched onto the time I got Dead Rising 2 for super cheap on the Xbox 360.
My deeply unpleasant ex was on an overnight trip with her friends and I was at peace. Just alone with my cat, nursing on a glass of cinnamon shnappes and sprite, eating some pizza and listening to early youtube video essays.
I was in the peak of my depression, and being around her made it worse. We loved each other and didn’t want to call it quits, but it desperately needed to happen.
Sitting there alone, in that moment of peace. It reminded me that there are still simple joys in life.
Food riot/starvation/exposure/myself brought on by climate collapse.
Otherwise, odds are with my family, it’ll be my heart will go out or diabetes. Can’t rule out car accident though.
NiGHTS into Dreams and Billy Hatcher will always hold a special place in my heart.
It’s a bummer that Sega doesn’t really do cartoony mascot-y games anymore outside of Sonic.
Like they have such a huge library of visually distinct characters just rotting away, only coming out every decade or so for a kart racing game or random cameo.
I mean, if we’re bringing back child labor, debtor’s prisons aren’t a huge leap.
