Alright, time for the next chapter! This one is the longest so far, though I didn't really intend for it to be. I'm still happy with it, though. There are only two chapters left in the story now! The final showdown approaches... Enjoy this chapter, with Lana taking the lead again! Chapter...

Forgot to post this too but we also got a rundown of the new combat system in a little more detail. https://www.gematsu.com/2023/03/ys-x-nordics-details-adol-christin-carja-varta-and-cross-action-battle-system I'm gonna miss the party system but this seems promising and fun.

:oops:

I think the way you worded this is more impossible to understand. :right: But joking aside I can understand the sentiment of certain teaching methods being better than others. I had a pretty unique physics teacher myself in high school. He would lecture for about 30 minutes and then the entire...

Oh yes. There's very little in past Zelda games that comes close to the majesty and awe of the sheikah tech in botw in WOW factor. ****'s cool. :cool:

I haven't seen much of the genre but I've seen enough to know I don't like it. It's just not my thing. The only way I enjoy it is if it's like, extremely pardoied and stuff and doesnt take itself seriously at all.

This morning I checked on the fish I had thawing in the fridge overnight and there was a ****ing maggot. :mad: Gonna have to make due with my "beef and fish stew" just being "beef stew with some shrimp". :/

I find they all have their uses now and then. Your order is pretty accurate to how often I use them, myself. I probably use remote bombs more than anything else because I really, really enjoy sending enemies flying off cliffs with them. It never fails to amuse. They're also a handy way of...

BotW was an intentionally lonely game, and I respect it for that, but I still dearly missed having a companion along for the ride. I would have loved to be able to form optional parties with an NPC or two while you're running around in the wild. The AI for something like that exists thanks to...

Granblue dropping another banger this year.

Azure is my favorite color and Sage was to make it Zelda-y. Turns out it's also the name of a plant. Didn't know that at the time.

Just curious about how many of us know how to/enjoy playing card games. I ask because my students are bonafide card sharks and love to play uno, old maid, go fish, and even now blackjack (which we call twenty-one in the classroom to kind of divorce it from being a casino game). When the kids get...

Bumping the thread cuz we got a few more things. New trailer for Felghana remaster. New key art for Nordics confirming Dogi will be present. Artwork revealed for Adol and the new heroine and playable partner, named Carja Balta. The new engine in this game is so pretty. :eyes:

It's funny you framed this post with Nier Automata, cuz when I read the thread title my first thought was "certainly not nier automata lol". Welp. :sweating: That thought came because I also just played through that game for the first time, and I can't think of the world as good for anything...

My students love uno and have taken to old maid and now go fish, too. So I asked them what card game they'd want to learn next and we decided on blackjack. I created an adapted version for them and I'm gonna teach them tomorrow when they have a break. Should be fun.

Driving to work this morning and watched the guy in front of me run over a squirrel. I wanted to cry.

I said the current direction of discussion in this thread, not the thread itself. Scroll back a couple posts and see what I was initially replying to. It was about someone saying that the existence of easy mode affects the normal mode players. That's the absurd comment that started this, like...

Maybe not enjoyment necessarily, but it still doesn't affect you unless you play that mode. That's been the whole point of this current thread direction.

You are reaaaaaally confused. Nowhere did I say that it has to be poorly designed. I said its ridiculous to claim that another mode that you don't play affects your enjoyment of the game. You are stuck on the "well-designed' part as if that's even remotely the point.

Again, why does that matter? It has no bearing on you. If a person who is disabled has to play a super watered down version of a game to get their most out of it, then they should be able to do that without people yelling "BUT NOOO YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT THE RIGHT WAY OR IT DOESNT COUNT JUST GO...

Why do you care if there's a mode that does that if you aren't being forced to use it? If that makes someone else able enjoy the game, then isn't that a good thing? "But nooo they have to enjoy it the RIGHT WAY"?

If it devalues the experience for you, then don't play it like that. If it doesn't devalue it for someone else, then let them play it like that. This isn't hard.

Uh, how? "Oh no this other person played the game differently than me and I don't like that"? Gatekeeping a series from people who want to play it at a different skill level is a bad look.

Woke up this morning and accidentally tore the strap on my sleep mask off. It was already fraying, but that's still annoying. I had to order a new one. Hopefully it'll be one that doesn't fall off in my sleep. It's become very hard to fall asleep without one on anymore. I really like having that...

Chapter Seven is done now. Between getting sick and starting a new game, it took me longer than I intended to finish this. I'm pretty happy with the end result, though. This is the most action-packed thing I've written since the end of Ride the Winds! probably. Hope you enjoy the ride as...

Might be my favorite on the new album.

I use my TV all the time. You won't catch me on a streaming network. I mostly just use it for background noise when I'm playing games or when I'm cooking, I don't have anything in particular that I use it to watch. But I still use it almost every day. It's almost always on. I still care about...

BECOME AS GODS BECOME AS GODS BECOME AS GODS

Nier:Automata sure has been something. I finished Route A and have just started Route B. Mechanically, it has its ups and downs. Combat is pretty fun, and I like the amount of side content, but the world is pretty but disappointing. It's way too empty for its size, and you don't unlock fast...

Yeah, this, lol. The shrine next to the woodland stable is the only shrine I dread doing.

You'll get to dye your hair pink "by accident" when using the Kochi Dye Shop. After a couple dyes your hair will "accidentally" come out pink and the guy will be like oh whoops do you want to keep that and you will be given a choice whether or not to change it back. That would be a cute callback...

Hiroyuki Sawano never misses, man.

Experimenting with a new chibi style on my ocs. I think Korra and Ainne came out the best. Could be a fun way of practicing designs without them having to be "good" or "detailed". I wanna try some full bodies with this style at some point. Today also happens to be Tshering's birthday so I...

Started Nier: Automata tonight. My expectations for what the game would be like were a bit off, but I'm not complaining... yet. Should be fun.

I dunno why that would have to be DLC. We'll definitely be fixing the Master Sword in TotK anyway. No reason why Fi's recovery/reawakening can't already be a part of that process.

Drew some TotK Links on my classroom's smartboard for my students. Drawing on big boards is hard lol. Also my students thought it was hilarious to change the color on me while I was in the middle of drawing. And they were right. :right: The first one I think came out pretty okay, but you can...

Wow, that is some darn impressive shading. Looks great!

Doodling with my kiddos today and I accidentally discovered a cute chibi style I wanna try on my ocs. Perhaps this weekend.

The number of times I've almost been hit while driving home from work on this one specific road this week is ridiculous. Its as if everyone forgets how to ****ing look before they try to turn onto it. Everyone sucks at driving except me.

Some of these next guesses are actually based on something and some are not. So we know its all but confirmed that the runes of botw have evolved and will now be done through the robot arm in new ways, right? We've been seen the time reversal of objects, we just saw a new magnesis ability in...

Sadly, they are not. Functionally they are exactly the same. They still do not do bloodblight. What was the point of making them anomaly hunts, then? This is disappointing.

Games that make your file dead when you finish the game. Example: Three Houses forcing you to start a new game or do ng+ in order to continue playing the game after you beat the story. I despise that with every fiber of my being. The only reason I should have to start over from the beginning is...

Is it confirmed to be Matt Mercer? I've only seen speculation thus far.

It might be more plot relevant than theyre willing to show. At least I hope so. (champion successors assemble or whatever)

So let's go through scene by scene cuz this trailer has a LOT to unpack. 0:05 - we see a very dark and stormy scene of hyrule and the weird green glowy thing we saw sneaking a peek at the very end of the previous trailer. that one was near a stable. those are theorized to be fueling stations...

It certainly could be! Whatever it is is giving me chills. :eyes:

The only games I really cared about in this one were Fantasy Life and Tears of the Kingdom. I am SO happy Fantasy Life isn't dead anymore! Finally it's revived from that horrible attempt at a sequel that was the Japanese only mobile kingdom builder that literally no one liked that basically...

Absolutely mindblowing. Thoughts?

PS5 games are standard priced at $70 too aren't they? Nintendo probably thinks they can get away with it now, as well. This says something about the gaming industry that is probably more eloquently put by someone else, but yeah. Sucks. Sucks that this is probably gonna be the new standard for...
