Thank you so much! I will just dive into that after I finish my current game and not worry about needing established lore or backstop. Just started a quickie and unique game called Get even. Gameplay is kinda like the detective line of Detroit become human. Enjoying it so far.
I’ve been hearing about dues ex forever though and I’m ready and looking forward to being able to understand the pop culture references and conversations now. Thanks for the reassurance and confidence
I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.
… fuck I think I just want a newspaper
Lol sorry, I meant the fashion! Everything on sale and what people were wearing. … I don’t leave my house a lot lol
I went to the mall today and it felt like the early 2000s again
Look I know it is barely on topic but that shit was so wild I had to
Oooh that sounds fun too now I’m even more excited to try it! And luckily I have no shame googling puzzle solutions if I’m stumped
Oooh, and that’s also on sale for $4 right now! Thank you!
I’m waiting for persona 3 remake and p5 tactics to go down because those games always seem to eventually be on sale for around $20 after ~12-24mo and I’m behind enough on games it is worth saving the $40+
Thank you! It’s actually on sale on playstatiom for $5 or free with ps+ extra so I am definitely going to check that out!
Oh that said I haven’t played half life yet and will once I have a computer. Should I also lower my expectations cuz that was also a Big Deal I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play yet!
I genuinely preferred vanilla! I couldn’t elaborate on why, especially avoiding spoilers, because my memory is too hazy. However I do think I’m in the minority I’m just giving you my support you’re not alone if you didn’t feel the same. Have you had the chance to play p5 strikers?
Honestly depending how far you are in royal, you might even enjoy royal more if you take a strikers break in between. Strikers follows vanilla ending anyway.
I just finished portal 1 & 2 for the first time! I was let down on the lore and story. I think if you were around on the internet when portal 2 came out in particular, you might understand. It just had so much reference in pop culture without explanation, i expected there to be more once you had context. I was let down.
That said DAMN these are excellent and fun games that are accessible to any player. The games are designed with fantastic visual clues to help you understand new puzzle elements. They are fun, not challenging to a frustrating degree, and the game is structured where you really can just play a bit before dinner or something.
I’ll be finishing up Shin Megami Tensei V this week. This is my first “smt” title, persona 5 was my introduction to this franchise and slowly working my way through.
I love the gameplay, managing teams and this is also the first game I’ve played where you’re really supposed to use the items liberally, the items to recreate spells is actually going to vary based on your stats instead of a fixed amount, so they are always helpful even late game.
The maps. The maps are a headache. It took me many days to find the entrance to an important location. It is frustrating but maybe it’s not my strong suit. I love playing it though, the fights don’t get boring and mobs can still be challenging if you aren’t paying attention.
Next I am going to finally play portal 1 and 2 because it is on sale for $7 on switch!!! I don’t have a PC and have been wanting to play for years!!!
And I somehow avoided all spoilers besides the meme. PORTAL BUNDLE ON SWITCH
I wish I was prepared for one of the game mechanics though. I won’t say more but it a chore for me, personally. It is amazing how much fans respect the game though it is hard to stumble on spoilers after all these years!
In my experience if you’re only finding one or two apartments in your price range out of a ton…
You can’t afford to live there. Everything costs more. Sales tax, gas, groceries, water, all entertainment, etc
Those places you can afford probably don’t exist or are cheap for a very good reason (bad area/property)
I suggest looking around closer to you or where you have a saftey net or support, then look in those areas. Research the city look for lgbtq events or clubs etc. I hope you find your little haven !
Very good point!
I am not a lawyer but isn’t this something that is technically illegal? Or perhaps not, do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?
The only way I can see donating to reddit could be argued as helping/supporting contrubiters by having the platform and audience available.
Thank you for explaining why so beautifully. I tried watching the show and while it was very well done, for whatever reason I just wasn’t getting into it. But all people ever say is how great it is and I was bummed I was missing out. I have seen enough of the show to see the threads leading to what you described. I understand now why it is so highly praised.
Wow looking into this and it sounds like they did that show dirty. Completely gone from the app and s2 only released in certain countries on prime? Did it hit a little too close to home on the strike??
Check out bunheads. Same creator and I remember it feeling a LOT like that show. Like she must have done it so soon after Gilmore girls. It’s only a season but it was cute. It might still be on hulu.
And yes seconding marvelous Ms Maisel.
Haha figured you would. I hope you don’t need this tip for the future!
I was looking for this post! Rent free in my mind for over a decade now.
Highly recommend. Weeb falls in love with a Japanese classmate and asks 4chan for advice. It is a whole saga of cringe.
Ok you called me out on a very specific flaw and consistent failure of mine! I have some weird wrong pronunciations they can lead then to wrong spelling and it has nothing to do with misunderstanding the context or whatever and just… my brain tends to read the shape of a word and that leads to problems if it isn’t a word I hear often.
Thank you for your kindness and context and I think maybe that will help me not make the mistake in the future! At least after I play the game at least lol
