If you die it's always skill issue
high storm
If you die it's always skill issue
There is no scenario where dodge couldn't save you
rancid ledge
also yall play Terraria??
edgy bone
played Hades, Biding of Isaac
isaac is one of the first of the games that ironed out the main features of the genre and it didnt really age that well unfortunately
the game has become more of a knowledge check than skill check
tidal shore
I'm looking for something similar to Sekiro though, where I can interact with bosses in more ways than just dealing dmg to them
high storm
also yall play Terraria??
Yes I talked about it few minutes ago
Calamity >>> sekiro in terms of difficulty
edgy bone
too many powerups with no description on what they do and a lot of really obscure hidden shit you can unlock if you take very specific actions during a run
rancid ledge
does sekiro have a good story overall??
high storm
does sekiro have a good story overall??
It's alright
tidal shore
It's alright

rancid ledge
as much as i like bully peter and find the symbiote gameplay cool, i just dont
edgy bone
but do you like the earlier games or ?
cuz it's largely similar gameplay loop and features from what i know
just with some extra stuff added on top
tidal shore
spiderman was so good they made the same game 3 times
edgy bone
also i dont see how this is relevant to the drama you mentioned
rancid ledge
but do you like the earlier games or ?
honestly spiderman 1 and miles morales are the better ones, story wise
rancid ledge
i also said game awards because some spiderman fan boys are saying that spiderman 2 shouldve won
edgy bone
humu humu
rancid ledge
and baldurs gate 3 won game awards
tidal shore

rancid ledge
oh like baldurs gate, okay
tidal shore
oh like baldurs gate, okay

high storm
oh like baldurs gate, okay
There is no fighting
If you are thinking about that
It's like point and click adventure but 3d, I dunno
tidal shore
so imagine it's a dnd, but instead of combat skills you have to distribute mental skills
your compartmentalised psyche

oh skills because its a murder mystery, got it

it's a Telltale sort of game, much less choice and freedom, right?
Disco Elysium has like more than 1 million words
high storm
Disco Elysium just gives you an objective you should do and tells to do whatever you feel like
tidal shore
yeah Disco is more disco, open world
high storm
I think you can just straight up ditch the main objective too
You will just won't forgiven for that
rancid ledge
it's a Telltale sort of game, much less choice and freedom, right?
ah okay

can u even do that? pretty sure there's a trigger for the tribunal that requires story progression

I can somewhat forgive series getting axed... companies aren't charities, they got bills to pay, and their magazines only have so many pages.
What I can't forgive is them trying to sell it later as if its a full complete package at a full and complete price 😤
I see a few of them every time I walk through the manga store near me and I'm always tempted to put little warning stickers on them like "Nobody here has a satisfying ending"

That smth "Vibration man"?

i kinda stopped reading the new manga for like 2 years now
i keep wanting to get back to it but there's so much to catch up with i usually read a lil bit then get distracted with something else instead

Ye im fully feeling it now
After the first few eps frieren has turned into poor mans one piece
All imma say is if you enjoyed frieren give one piece a go
rancid ledge
tidal shore
sotrue
edgy bone
Oh now it went back to the more melancholic tone from the earlier episodes
Interesting
You can kinda see the author trying out various things until they figured out something that sticks
I do prefer this mix of the more sentimental memories stuff mixed with the more one piece adventurey bits
Before this point my favorite part od the story was the very beginning that fully focused on frierens perception of time and her regrets and her memories and all that jazz
Once it shifted into knockoff one piece i started to lose interest
Im glad the author figured out how to make a good mix of the two

OP/ED (hasn't been confirmed which it is) sounds crazy. Hope the visuals match the energy
edgy bone
Is the author still making books or where did this come from?
I was under the impression the old anime wrapped up the story
topaz linden
Is the author still making books or where did this come from?
Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season (〈物語〉シリーズ オフ&モンスターシーズン) is the 12th anime adaptation from Studio Shaft of the Monogatari Series light novels. It is said to adapt all works from Off Season and Monster Season, the 4th and 5th seasons of the series respectively.
From reddit:
Off Season is a collection of arcs throughout the timeline, some in the past, some during Araragi's last year of high school like the rest of the series, some later than Hana. Most of these arcs focus on other characters than Araragi, which is probably why it's called Off Season.
Monster Season seems to be a full new storyline for Araragi, set during his college years.
The lesson you should learn from this is, never trust Nisio's naming schemes.
Shaft had said a while ago that they would animate everything, but that was before the existence of novels past Final Season. Aniplex's president reportedly said last year that Off Season was in production. So, we don't know for certain.
edgy bone
Is the college years part from the books or are they making up new stories?

Such good world building
Sasuga Frieren
high storm
It makes sense because people would make stupid specific loose spells
Just like we do with usual language and words you know lol
My country for example has 8 different unrelated words for "potato" and it differs from region to region
As language studies guy I was delighted by that piece of lore
edgy bone
It sounds more like plot convenience handwaving to me but im glad you like it
topaz linden
When i say world building i usually think of grander things
Magic systems are also part of world building
rancid ledge
whats everyones thoughts on apothecary diaries??
high storm
Magic systems are also part of world building
I think it makes perfect sense that magic system captures "a bird" that's simple, that's what simpletons would do
edgy bone
Magic systems are also part of world building
Yes but i dont think this specific instance is a great example
If the only practical use of it we see is frieren flexing a new spell to catch the birb
And its never referenced again
high storm
I don't think anyone ever would bother with creating a "Catch this one specific species of bird" spell
edgy bone
And it was never referenced before this either
high storm
And its never referenced again
You are saying this like you watched the show and read the manga wholly
topaz linden
And it was never referenced before this either
The bird thing specifically, no. But it ties in with how spells as a whole are described (very dependent on visualization of the spell and its effects)
high storm
Yeah it's just a toll to show off some awesome world building
It makes world feel much more realistic and complete imo
edgy bone
You are saying this like you watched the show and read the manga wholly
Im saying that i dont really view it as world building at this very moment because i wasnt shown any grander applications to it im the overall world
high storm
Yet
edgy bone
If that changes in the future then sure
Youre the one that called it world building not me
high storm
Yeah because it very much is
topaz linden
tbh, most worldbuilding isn't going to explicitly say "hey, this is broadly applicable to the larger world and this is how"
Because its usually (in good writing at least) done in a way that doesn't feel all that special/out of the ordinary
edgy bone
I just wanted to point out the rpg humor
topaz linden
In Mushoku Tensei for example, most of what we (somewhat) know about the way magic works in that world is offhand comments by the MC while working on other things
high storm
I don't think it's exactly hard to believe that collecting specific spells for fuckload of time that Frieren has a few odd spells

He was such GOAT
high storm
zero shot??
Something less than 1-shot
topaz linden
Frieren is literally hundreds and hundreds years older than Rudeus I love my goa...
Honestly, it's not even anything about Rudy specifically. Magic in Frieren just happens at a much faster pace than Mushoku. Mages there can fire off a dozen spells in the time someone casts a fireball in Mushoku Tensei
hence powerscaling be wack lol
high storm
He will just see a lone short petite elf woman start going "Awoooga humana humana humana" and while he is thristing over Frieren she just casts ED on him again
rancid ledge
rudeus did learn magic just by reading a book then he did voiceless incantations

How long is the mage exam

Till end of the season pretty much

Ill give it a couple eps but if this is all they do for 10 eps im probably gonna drop it

Which chap is ep 28?
edgy bone
according to the wiki chapter 60 or so
it's usually a good idea to backread a lil bit cuz adaptations have a tendency to skip or reorganize events in the end in order to make the cutoff point feel like a proper ending

the
"i hate fun" and "i ❤️ maturity" go so well together
seen a few people who are like this
funniest shit ever
they don't even realise it
edgy bone
that's just the average adult over here
tidal shore
people be so tunnel visioned on the pursuit of maturity that they forget what it's like to have fun
tidal shore
~~that's just the average adult over here~~
in what way though? cuz I find people on average have both of those views and they seem to apply them however they feel like
their ideas sometimes clashing
edgy bone
they just hate seeing young people having fun
instead of working or studying 24/7
cuz that's supposed to be sustainable somehow
(i think it's just communism that fucked up their worldview)
tidal shore
like my bro for example, can't call things "cute" cuz it makes me "special", and then he rants about how people live like pigs and constantly puts everyone down
but then says "love the little things in life like going outside"
I find it quite funny
tidal shore
instead of working or studying 24/7
hmm yeah, there's a lot of social pressure on independence, individualism, and self-sustainability
tidal shore
(i think it's just communism that fucked up their worldview)
this just sounds like capitalism tho
edgy bone
¯_(ツ)_/¯
tidal shore
granted, "east europe" is a bit of a gray area culturally speaking (in terms of how much we value individualism and profits), but I do know that Americans on average tend to have a very profit-oriented mindset
at least more-so than Poland here
edgy bone
im not really knowledgeable enough on the subject
all i know is growing up most adults in my life were really gray and bitter about everything and used to dismiss any complaints the kids had cuz they used to have it worse during communism
it definitely left an impression at least

no way

they can only understand japangrish

are you talking about the kengan author or just a general statement

dunno how true that is, but you know, I did hear the way the Japanese teach English at school is pretty much how it's spoken in anime (aka engrish)

for you personally\
topaz linden
Tho I do know Tearmoon had a breakout success in English due to being a notably good translation
topaz linden
for you personally\
Reborn to Master the Blade was one I dropped pretty recently cause it felt like a literal translation. The characters had super limited expression and no real variety in the way they spoke (different word choice/speaking manner, etc).
Debating dropping Otome Heroine's Fight for Survival for the same reason, even tho I love the premise. The unique setting is really the only reason I'm still gonna give it another volume.
Already dropped Her Majesty's Swarm for that reason as well.
Those are the more recent ones. Tbh, its so many at this point that I doubt I could list them all 😂 I drop a lot at Volume 1 if I spot that the translation quality is shit
topaz linden
Not sure what you expected tbh
