[loud ginkgo]

The feeling of op was ok in season 1 for me

[cobalt spade]

and the title is

sibling marriage arc

[livid elbow]

yeah he is a siscon

[loud ginkgo]

No...?

I want to say no but I can't exactly deny it fully

[livid elbow]

fairs i dropped it halfway of s1

[cobalt spade]

well its the yotsuba succession arc, but i saw some posts saying its the sibling marriage arc so its funny

[loud ginkgo]

Yeah

[cobalt spade]

sasuga onii sama

[sweet imp]

its basically his sis that || blackmails the entire family into letting her marry him ||

[cobalt spade]

my o7 emote comes from A Sign of Affection too

[loud ginkgo]

Their concept is a bit strange but I can barely understand it. Like japan allows cousion marriage and the author seeing as cousins is ok thinks siblings is close to ok too especially magic high universe is of different culture.

But then I would have like if they have given better reasoning.

[cobalt spade]

idk im just completely tuned out now because i initially liked the magic part of the show, but then as it went on, it just became a yap fest

fight scenes arent even as entertaining as they were at the beginning

and the lore/story is just a mess

i might as well read the source at that point

[loud ginkgo]

Yeah the magic part was also what drawm me into it

Especially magic x science

I just read the summary of each light novel at that point because its too long

[sweet imp]

ye two things I like about irregular that made me read novels is worldbuilding and other characters beside the sibling duo

[loud ginkgo]

But then most character is thrown out the window eventually

Especially in the novel season 2

[sweet imp]

ye I sadly stopped reading it

dont feel the drive anymore

I still respect it for not being harem and letting other characters form their own relationships tho

pretty rare for anime nowadays

[loud ginkgo]

Yeah other people's relationship was what was interesting too

But magian company spoilers:
|| I didn't like how leon eventually just floats away from their circle and his story is just stopped there||
||Like it was clearly written in the v32 that he became alienated after high school for what so fucking no reason||

[copper remnant]

and animation a lot of the times

[cobalt spade]

by far the best magic related series ive seen is Magi

[loud ginkgo]

Magi I didn't have time to finish. It was great though but really requires me to sit down and watch it through.

[copper remnant]

i was watching the classics record of lodoss war

magi was peak

[cobalt spade]

i love her

and morgiana

peak

[copper remnant]

yeah morgiana best character

[loud ginkgo]

The reason why I like legs ahem strong woman

Reminds me. FGO ended

[cobalt spade]

new years stream surely

[loud ginkgo]

I only played part 1 of the game and stop but still followed the story.
Was so damn heartbreaking and happy.

[cobalt spade]

|| olga ||

[loud ginkgo]

||I actually never get that part. Whats the difference between her being left behind and being saved? Won't the timeline reseting also save her?||

[cobalt spade]

||idk i think the fact that MC was pulling a weight of effectively the size of a planet was more crazy||

[loud ginkgo]

Hey he fought against fucking goetia in part 1

Its to be expected

[cobalt spade]

not that i know the full story myself, i also stopped playing and im mostly out of loop with jp story for the most part

i just tune in to read summaries and etc

while waiting for my glorious wife to be data unlost

[loud ginkgo]

Yeah same but sometimes I also watch the the tls

[loud ginkgo]

Which one?

[cobalt spade]

look my profile

picture

[loud ginkgo]

Oh

Damn I'm blind

||But hey at least romulus did say that she was watching over us in the root at the final chapter||

[cobalt spade]

just saying

||maris chaldea|| aint got shit if musashi rocks up like this

https://tenor.com/view/mm-gif-4121134558172196460

[loud ginkgo]

I was expecting ||marisbury to have some backup plan but was kind of disappointed that he only accomplished maris chaldea||

ALSO ||GOETIA BEAMMMMM!||

[cobalt spade]

he joins 1 of 2 other servants that have a beam np line

[loud ginkgo]

I wonder if nasu was watching shigure ui when doing the final chapter

[cobalt spade]

nanka sugoi beam still the best

[loud ginkgo]

When you can't forget that joke you make for years

[cobalt spade]

LOL

Love when anime are set in a historical time period

Feel like it doesn't happen enough

[livid elbow]

if you like history stuff 100% watch orb the movements of the earth

really really underrated

i hope they make a sequel for galileo galilei too

[sand shuttle]

Orb is in my top 3 anime of all time

[livid elbow]

finished ff9

||trance kuja was a bitch, and then another random jumpscare boss ||

|| i am visibly upset that vivi is gone but im glad zidane and dagger got to reunite, and the other casts got a decent conclusion. like eiko getting adopted and etc ||

[wispy scroll]

||ff9 last boss makes no sense LMAO||

[cobalt spade]

anyway last week of holiday, so last game to play. Soul Hackers 2.

[cobalt spade]

||trance kuja was so annoying, i was so relieved i was done. except i wasnt. and then i got inflicted with every disease in the world (luckily i had quina for aoe remedy )||

just from story alone, it was a nice game at least.

[wispy scroll]

||im not talking about kuja , im talking about necron LOL||

[cobalt spade]

||ye ik, i was referring to him as well. i was saying i thought i was done after kuja but apprently not. they just randomly have a new guy with 0 backstory whatsoever||

||many people think Necron appears out of nowhere. And while it's true that his name isn't mentioned before, he is pretty much very important to the plot.

The story of FF9 is heavily about parting, death, fear of death and finding a strength to move on. Necron is pretty much an incarnation of death. He IS death.

I do agree that his appearance is very sudden, but he is pretty much the logical end point of every theme of the game.||

[cobalt spade]

||I won't deny that, but it is still very much a sudden, almost seemingly random final boss, when kuja was what seemed to be the end goal at first ||

︀︀Here’s new info they’ve revealed:

︀︀- Third Expansion will add in a new map
︀︀- Desert Environment, possibly Zerrikania
︀︀- Rumored to launch in May

︀︀- Expected to be massive, Blood & Wine sized DLC
︀︀- Most likely will only be available on PS5/XSX/PC, no last gen
︀︀- Developed by Fool’s Theory, who is also developing The Witcher 1 Remake
︀︀- At this point, we’ve had multiple polish insiders, analysts and IGN Poland confirm that this is happening, all that remains is the inevitable announcement
︀︀

[copper remnant]

i wanted to try outward but i never understood the appeal to get it over other games

[bleak rock]

its just soulful

its like a soulsborne morrowind

what more do u need

[timid badger]

It's a game where you are a random bozo

And now do whatever you want

[bleak rock]

i got my ass kicked by some thunder sharks

killed god reincarnated tho

lost 2 thunder sharks

[copper remnant]

kenshi?

[timid badger]

significantly different but same vibe

[copper remnant]

thing is i'm tired of soulslike, i'm still mustering strength to finish elden ring dlc

[bleak rock]

its not rlly souls like

its just hard

[copper remnant]

kingdoms of amalur?

[timid badger]

Very different from Dark Souls

breh

[bleak rock]

there is no game like outward

[timid badger]

Like Hanna said

there are no other games like Outward

[bleak rock]

its soul like that its very hard
its survival based that... well, its got systems for surivial and stuff.
its a rpg because ur just some fuck boy on a journey, rping. theres stories, tales, tribes, plots, schemes
combat is very unique, theres tons of weps. i think these even added more since i played
its jank
its soulful

u can shoot people with a fucking gun, beat their ass with a melee wep, pull out ur fists, trhrow some chakrams at them, cast spells

i think it goes on sale for very cheap, prob worth getting just 2 try the next time

[copper remnant]

okay so after hanna finishes her mapple classic i'll get it to try

[bleak rock]

U never finish maple classic that's the joke

Gear in maple has random stat roll, then u scroll it with 10%s or 60%s
Each item only had so many rolls and a failed roll takes a slot

The end goal is to get a bis, wep perfectly rolled

And hit 7 10%'s on it

U do that, u win

I don't think a pair of actual perfect gloves existed in the real game back then, let alone a wep

[livid elbow]

all i know is leather gonna be expensive so hoard it all you can

funny enough a lot of bis when i played is at the same price of a well scrolled low level work gloves

because its such a good gear you can use to get thru the most painful part of mmo which is leveling low level alts

[bleak rock]

I don't think u will be able 2 gear the same way, they are changing formulas, so the sauna robe bamboo hat etc stuff will be good, but it seems like it won't be bis

But ye work gloves r insane

[livid elbow]

yeah thats why i want to know if they are improving the rates

[bleak rock]

Lvl 10 generic no stat big dam increase

Rates appear to be 1.25ish based on looking at what xp people got in play test videos

But there's other things 2

Pqs are instanced

[livid elbow]

that is pretty nice

[bleak rock]

There's a whole new 35+ area

[livid elbow]

i like it instanced

[bleak rock]

They may have done stuff 2 quests, ie buffed XP a lot, we don't know

They may buff spawn rates as well

I don't think it will be the slog it was b4

Seems like they are putting a lot of incentive 2 partying up just based on spell changes

[livid elbow]

a +35 zone is also huge sleepywood is a friggin nightmare to go thru

[bleak rock]

Ant tunnel...

[livid elbow]

broooo

[bleak rock]

What kind of ant made that hellscape

[livid elbow]

more hyped now knowing there is major qol stuff

[bleak rock]

Orbis cats r a good alternative for that range

So is ludi stuff

Which, they hinted at being in

And el nath

I just hope 3rd job, let alone 4th isn't in on launch

That way people don't feel the need 2 rush, they will still for sure, I know I will

But being locked to 2nd job for a month or so would be sick

[livid elbow]

i wonder how many free exp coupons they gonna give

im gonna rush for sure would be funny if the cash shop coupon could be stacked

[bleak rock]

Swiping for vac pet asap

Whatever it takes

[teal ivy]

is there a release date on ms classic or some kind of estimation yet?

haven't been really following the news on it

surely this year right?

yooo path of radiance

my favourite fire emblem game alongside radiant dawn

so good

[shell slate]

you gonan play it?

i never played it but

id think it would be worth ur time

may as well right

it would also make the fire emblems that touch old characters more meaningful

[thick coral]

not sure

is it good story or just gameplay

[unreal osprey]

path of radiance is alot of ppl's favorite. it's also one of the most expensive gamecube games on the secondary market

[shell slate]

^ thats as far as I know with it

its the game that put fire emblem on the map in my eyes

[copper remnant]

dude

every vtuber

lmao

[shell slate]

scary start to any statement

[copper remnant]

i think i've seen 10 so far and i wasn't looking

[shell slate]

[steady fable]

[copper remnant]

[thick coral]

lowkey making me think of starting another fe3h route

[shell slate]

do it

what games coming out that got u hype rn anyways

as far as i remember its just xenoblade right

[sand shuttle]

Dq7 in a month

[teal ivy]

path of radiance has solid story and worldbuilding, it's pretty simple but explored well

as far as gameplay goes it's alright

not sure how familiar you are with the older fire emblem games but there's no casual mode so units will die when they are killed

you can't customize your units to the extent you can in 3 houses like changing their class lines

there's also no rewind mechanic

but I still find it good

[cobalt spade]

@sand shuttle after many more hours, i change my opinion on SH2. Its not a game that suffers from being outshined by every other atlus game. it is infact, an absolute dogshit game.

and it very much likes to waste your time and has 0 respect for it

dumb gimmicks like no retry on some fights to make you go back to main menu to reload your save, no creativity in bosses except "just do more damage or you die", absolutely horrendous dogshit map designs with 50000 loading screens via doors and teleporters and if you dont believe me, look at this minimap (spoilers in case people dont wanna see it). It covers the whole fucking screen, and theres no useful indicators like items or enemies AND the teleporters are just crowding the fucking map, AND IT DOESNT EVEN TELL YOU THE DIRECTION, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER WHERE EACH TELEPORTER PORTS YOU TO. AND MORE DUMB SHIT i dont wanna talk about

playing the game is actually pissing me off because i actually like the characters

[low kraken]

SH2 is truly the dogshit game of all time

[sand shuttle]

Jeez not the best game to end your time off with

That map is horrendous

[cobalt spade]

[faint dragon]

outward making no fast travel and not showing your location when looking at map

making it kinda special

without the modern game convenience

[thick coral]

do i try outward again..

i tried it with banne but idk why i kinda just got bored

[faint dragon]

play it blind too I assume

my cousin and I tried it for like 2< hours been pretty good

[thick coral]

yeah went in blind

the combat is kinda clunky

[faint dragon]

it was the shit happen to us when we get back up when we wiped that's more entertaining to us

the game is pretty jank

[thick coral]

maybe i wait for outward 2

[faint dragon]

even on normal mode, the game is already pretty hardcore

got lots to learn

[sweet imp]

sounds good

I need to try outward while I wait for Gothic remake

but after new Trails game that releases in 5 days

[faint dragon]

also banne is a vet outward player

what if you play outward with a newbie too

you two outward newbie will go out adventure with absolutely no idea of everything of the game

like jeffo I guess

And Soul Hackers 2 Done.

Brief thoughts:
-characters saved the game/gameplay for me
-story is meh, but it has its little moments. a little bit of found family
-i think my crashout the other day on the gameplay and stuff was enough so i wont talk about it, its horrible

Ringo is really likeable.

That also marks the end of my semester break marathon of 1 game per week.
In order, i've played:
1 - Trials of Mana (Completed)
2 - Apollo Justice: AA Trilogy (Finished Game 1 and 2, midway through Spirit of Justice but obviously couldnt finish that much in a week)
3 - Blasphemous (Completed)
4 - Nelke & the Legendary Alchemist (Dropped)
5 - FF9 (Completed)
6 - Soul Hackers 2 (Completed)

Sisyphus will continue rolling the rock up the mountain because the backlog never ends. He will be back for more next time.

Next up: Trails beyond the Horizon
and school

[sand shuttle]

Good stuff

I finally got into dragon quest 11 with my 3rd attempt

[cobalt spade]

it was pretty fun for the most part

Now back to reality

[dense portal]

how many hour per game was it?

[cobalt spade]

hmm sure lemme check

Trials of Mana - 30hours
Apollo Justice AA Trilogy - 77hours (2 games + 3rd game case 1 and 2)
Blasphemous - 25hours
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists - dropped after 34hours
FF9 - 61 hours
Soul Hackers 2 - 44hours

[sand shuttle]

Pretty good

[dense portal]

Yea each of them seem like decent for a week

AI translation....

[echo walrus]

[shell slate]

Did they ever test which is more accurate ai translation or google translate. Have to imagine ai translation but now im curious

I shall google later

[cobalt spade]

wasnt crunchyroll using AI translations on some of their shows or smth and it was atrocious?...

[shell slate]

They translating via audio or manuscript tho

I assume cr was doing audio

[stone olive]

No matter what translation tool you use it'll always not be 100%, but you can somewhat graps the meaning of the words these days anyways

Used Chatgpt lately for some chinese stuff

Was struggling to figure out what a word meant and it could somewhat guide me towards the proper meaning

[final lake]

from my experience chatgpt 5.1 has pretty great translations

also depends on language of course

but they can surprisingly pick up on context quite well

[bleak rock]

i think the general thought is

if ur using ai for transaltion

u use all of them and grab from the one that makes the most sense

looks like it

looks like u summon that star thing, then stuff comes from it

[shell slate]

Nope

[pine vapor]

It was very much western gunslinger

Big iron big bullets big damage

[crystal bramble]

Jett > Corsair

Corsair was the only pirate class I never enjoyed

And I played all of them back then

[pine vapor]

Brawler literally have super saiyian

Was the only reason I tried it

[crystal bramble]

I was a Mechanic main for years until the rework happened, didn't like it and then switched to Cannoneer as my main before I stopped playing entirely

[pine vapor]

Was it the minion removal?

[crystal bramble]

Everything

[pine vapor]

Ic ic

[shell slate]

Tbh i prob shoulda played mo xuan during his event would be a character id like in theory

[pine vapor]

Hes basically a kanna replacement

[crystal bramble]

Beast Tamer, my 2nd overall favorite class, also got an entire rework, but there I can understand why and it does look fun to play. But Mechanic was just not it imo

[pine vapor]

Like koerea hates that several non kms created characters were so powerful that they keep nerfing them arguing its for balance

Jett was never allowed dev time after it took over global by storm
Kanna and hayato are just suffering after they get nerfed practically every patch

[crystal bramble]

Didn't kms also dismiss reboot for years until one Korean players restarted there and showed how easy it was? Leading to Nexon nerfing the server

[pine vapor]

Yeah, but it was also during their cube fiasco that was being investigated so I swear it was more a retaliation on kms for that

Global swears it wont do the same changes but has stealth implemented a few

[crystal bramble]

Not surprising

[cobalt spade]

as a thief enjoyer and a weebstick enjoyer, guess my fav class

most of my playtime was on dual blades across many years

idek what i played pre-big bang because i didnt really have much of a favourite class, until bigbang/dual blades dropped

[pine vapor]

Dual blade was so dumb in its first release with how skill points used to be

[cobalt spade]

yea true

[crystal bramble]

Dual Blades were a fun class, so I get you

[pine vapor]

Requiring $$$ to even get the skills was the dumbest thing ever

[crystal bramble]

I was a Buccaneer main until Evan dropped

then I played Evan until Mechanic

[pine vapor]

At least mastery books were still 50/30%

But God that class was just a money grub

[crystal bramble]

then I played a lot of Cannoneer and Phantom on their releases until I went back to Mechanic

[cobalt spade]

bruh i was like primary school going into secondary school back then

[pine vapor]

Phantom is still one of the best links you can make on an account

[cobalt spade]

i just sucked my thumb and played for fun

[crystal bramble]

Phantom is my favorite thief to this day

[pine vapor]

Only problem is getting the skills is practically impossible

People dont afk in general like they used to, or on jobs u can pilfer from

[crystal bramble]

also that, I know once classic releases so many will tryhard for no reason, meanwhile I just wanna play the game casually as I did back then

having fun exploring the world

i dont actually remember much back then since it was pre-teens memory, but i think the big bang update helped alot in the dual blades appeal for me since their skills had very fancy visuals for the most part and the sfx was crisp

[crystal bramble]

many people hated big bang, I was one of those people who loved the update

but the decline began pre big bang

the cubes are the reason

[cobalt spade]

the skill, upper stab or something, where 3 blades popped up from the ground stabbing upwards?

that was music to my ears

[crystal bramble]

but even as I say that, I love MapleStory, and I can never truly close that part of my life even if I did decide to delete everything

but with classic I wanna jump back in

because why not

[cobalt spade]

and the 3rd job chain skill

[pine vapor]

I was in high-school when I started maple

[cobalt spade]

that was ST and had a bunch of hits

also music to my ears

[crystal bramble]

I started in like 1-2 weeks before Cygnus Knights were released

in EU

[cobalt spade]

i started league when back when i was primary 6, aka year 0 of league (launch year)

i started league because a guildmate from maple got me in

[crystal bramble]

season 2 until season 5, then I quit

for LoL

[cobalt spade]

and pri 6 i was..... 11 or 12 years old?

and i was already playing maple for like 2 or 3 years i think idk

[pine vapor]

I started in 05 or 06 I cant remember

Was just before global first birthday

And got to enjoy that big dumb cake with the maple weapons

[bleak rock]

lynn is comfy

[queen island]

lel

[sweet imp]

lel

[shell slate]

I dont think i gave lynn a proper try cause my brain said the second i say yeah imma play this it will be nerfed to the ground

Maybe someday

[pine vapor]

Give it a shot next time you play

Its a really just all around better beast tamer

[shell slate]

Never tried beast tamer too (assuming that was a diff class. Always see it written and never see it)

[dense portal]

Those images are carzy

Ik but that lego nose looks like a big bump

[worthy ridge]

pokemon stadium for the n64

[dense portal]

I dont think the eyeball vein popping is in the game...

[worthy ridge]

it is

also people remember the other manga more

heres a segment from the electric tale of pikachu

[crystal bramble]

It absolutely is, for all 3 Stadium games, and since they reused the models, even both gamecube games

[worthy ridge]

all 3 stadium games? you mean it was in battle revolution?

[crystal bramble]

No I mean all 3 N64 stadium games

[worthy ridge]

just confused as to what the 3rd is supposed to be

oh right

[crystal bramble]

Our Stadium 1 is Japans Studium 2

[worthy ridge]

regional variants

yea

[dense portal]

Oh damn didnt know that, thats wild

Bloodshot eyes venusaur

[worthy ridge]

i mean... i could pop it in and play.

[dense portal]

Oooh nice collection

[crystal bramble]

I never played Puzzle League, but I love Panel de Pon on SNES

I'm just not good at it

[worthy ridge]

thats a small taste of what i have....

i sold most of my retro card collection to get a lot of things back....

[dense portal]

For the hey you pikachu, do u oso have the mic?

[worthy ridge]

i have mine from the day yes

[crystal bramble]

Also, seeing that Pokemon Snap, I recommend playing Banjo-Kazooie Nostalgia 64, such a well made rom hack

[dense portal]

Woah veli cool

[worthy ridge]

same manga btw

[loud ginkgo]

Pokemon manga are interesting

They don't shy away from pure violence especially the pokemon adventure series which I love

[noble falcon]

im excited for this game

code vein 1 isnt like amazing, but i enjoyed it

[cobalt spade]

I have this issue where if a game has a sequel

I MUST play the preceding games

Even if unrelated

So not touching that until i have and finished CV1

[sand shuttle]

I think im also like that for most things

[steady fable]

sadly

no co op

[cobalt spade]

The only time i sorta broke that rule was Ys

[sand shuttle]

Ys for me as well lmao

[cobalt spade]

Since Ys was more of a special case

[sand shuttle]

Resident Evil as well

[cobalt spade]

With various play orders

Same, i played re3 remake, shat my pants, never played again

Went back to watching people play instead

[copper remnant]

is this narration AI?

Lords of the fallen code vein?

[young ermine]

I need to play through Code Vein I first

I have that same thing where I prefer to play through the preceding games first

even if it's not chronological, i just think it's neat to see how the franchise evolves

It's fun, music is amazing

Some really bad parts tho

KAMI (@Okami13_)

Reddit user claims that they've figured out what causes Monster Hunter Wilds performance issues – and it's kind of wild.

According to their investigation:

• Owning more DLC = more FPS
• This is due to an aggressive check the game does to see what DLC you own
• It is NOT intentional by Capcom but this constant check causes performance dips
• The user created a mod that tricks the game into thinking you own all DLC and noticed immediate improvements
• All information has been sent to Capcom support
• This same user has already already helped Capcom solve a performance issue in Dragon's Dogma 2
