Copied from /co/, I haven't seen it nor want to watch it since Netflix.
The Scott Pilgrim Shitflix show apparently just dropped. Haven't seen it personally, but from what I'm gleaning from cuckchan chatter, it seems like a cross between FF7 Remake and He-Man Revelations as it masquerades as a more accurate adaptation then goes full retard:
-Scott loses to Matthew Patel and seemingly dies. Patel goes on to usurp Gideon Graves (supposedly interviews already admitted Scott wasn't getting much screentime and they wanted the shock of the first episode to match the "shock" of the slice of life in volume 1 turning into supernatural combat shenanigans)
-It's more "Ramona Flowers vs. The World" -- apparently it's her turn to be the "protagonist who learns they were kind of a shit person the whole time", and episodes focus on her and the exes
-They cut out Stephen's gay arc, but conversely Wallace seduces Todd Ingram into being gay and breaking up with Envy (he's dressed like Scott because Young Neil's shooting a movie about Scott's life after his apparent death, and he and Lucas Lee auditioned)
-Turns out Scott's kidnapped. Main villain is Future Scott trying to stop himself from letting Ramona destroy his life
-They may have excised Scott and Knives' past relationship
-Lisa and Nega-Scott aren't in this show, and the Twins are the only Evil Exes not to have a spotlight episode
This is especially egregious in Season 15 onward. PC Principle was a highlight of SocJus themes moving into society but ignored the larger context of how. Panda verse highlights Kathleen because she's a face and easy target, while ignoring how Disney has the ideological agenda not just in Kathleen but in everyone in upper and middle management at Disney.
Local 58 And these two. Also Ghost burger.
There are 3 kinds of modders:
Texture of Object 4k, smooth combat, weather and survival system.
nude skin 8k polycount, skimped armor, animated prostitution.
real life guns, faction patrols, expanded encounter list, killable children.
If you want a youtube vid that goes into the details.
Singapore is run like a very successful corperation, which the government there pours money back into the civilian sector. There's an understanding between the government and citizens that if either fail, Singapore, who's geographically small next to Thailand and Malaysia and has to import most of it's food but is financially rich due to tourism, being the center of asian finance due to low taxes and having one of the best health-care systems in the world to the point that North Korean dictators travel there for surgery. if one of them fails, the country starts to come apart, the collectivism keeps them strong against their big northern neighbor China and US interests in the region.
Yeah, Shenmue is prototype Yakuza. It had alot of ideas but is kinda clunky and not really fun to play these days. Yakuza 0 or Like a Dragon is a good place to start if you want brawling, Like a Dragon is turn based but still fun. As for other brawling games, Sleeping Dogs is under-rated. Dark Messiah features a system where you can grab people and kick them around. Takes a bit to get use too.
For Musou, I've played a few Koei games. The One Piece Warriors series is great for all the unique characters and no filler story. 3 and 4 are good places to start. Attack on Titan 2 is a secret love because slicing necks with 6 foot long katanas never gets old. There was the Berserk one that has cutscenes from the 1998 anime up to the Eclipse. That ends with them getting on the boat. There's Bladestorm I tried to get into, couldn't really. There was also Arslan which I likewise found boring. The warriors orochi and nintendo games I have no experience with.
Jun Iwasaki, president and chief executive officer of Square-Enix USA, described Drakengard as a "perfect hybrid of genres" due to its blend of action, character growth influenced by role-playing games, and a "solid story that binds it all together". According to him, the game is intended to appeal to gamers looking for a "deeper action game".
Jun Iwasaki is a fucking idiot. Drakengard is a terrible game -- absolutely awful. It isn't fun. At all. There is no fun to be found here. Look elsewhere for fun. It is a muddy hybrid of a half-assed Dynasty Warriors clone meets a poor man's knock off of Panzer Dragoon coupled with an unbearably dull grind fest.
You best be trolling. One does not play Drakengard, one suffers through it.
For context, because OP is a fag and really should include it somewhere.
Dude, first rule of fucking OPSEC is don't even give the country you're in. You're using the same account you've always used and because of that, I was able to narrow down to you living in Huonville, Tasmania.
If a random person on the internet can determine where you live, what makes you think a government agent or private detective with access to databanks on information isn't actively following you?
Stop treating this website like facebook.
Let me try and put this in some context. Every state voted no, only the inner city places like Melbourne, Eastern Sydney suberbs and Hobart voted for Yes, while most of regional Aus voted No. It was like the 2016 US election again and that's where alot of the Yes people campaigned and placed signs, inside the city and not the country.
Labor, which is a left leaning political party here, took the issue to last year's election. They wanted an advisory body to the parliament made up of aboriginal Australians. The PM however wanted to change the constitution to allow the body to not be dismissed by changes of government, if this was created, a right leaning liberal government would have to have another referendum to remove the advisory body. Said body could also dictate policy that the government would consider signing into law. Renaming Australia Day to Invasion Day? Check. Inserting some amalgam of the Aus Flag and Abo Flag? Check. Reparations for perceived guilt? Better believe that's a Check. And the public would have no say on any of this, the proposal would go straight to the government floor to be made a bill that would get voted on.
So that's the two sides. Yes saying "We need this to heal." No saying "Think of future division." The thing is though a poll was done where 80% of people had already made up there minds when the campaigning started. I see this whole thing as a waste of tax dollars and Labor being forced to fulfill their campaign promise. The PM had to expend alot of political capital on a failed referendum, the first in 20 years. It's not a good sign for his government.
Aha! He actually moved to Sweden? Man, he could've move out of the progressive parts of southern tasmania to somewhere more regional like Queensland, South Australia or a suburb of Perth. No instead he goes all the way to bloody sweden to get car bombed by the mozzies there.
Dude really needs to rethink his life choices. That or stop being a shill.
Youtube has been testing this kind of thing over the past few months. I haven't gotten hit by it yet but if you have with an adblocker, chances are it's a direct message telling you to unblock. Updating uBlock should work as a temp solution.
You should be using Youtube Enchancer and Sponsor Block too.
I've been watching schlock. Grab "Manos: The Hands of Fate" off of youtube. Then other movies like The Frighteners, Re-Animator and Young Frankenstein would be perfect for Halloween.
Everyone's probably seen Sean of the Dead by this point.
You don't really play a game like that for the story but for the gameplay. All the classes, feats and items that can stack so you can turn a simple group of bowman into War-Bows that can out-range archers on walls is so satisfying. But yeah, it is good.
You got Skyrim? Grab a collection off of Nexus that includes "Legacy of the Dragonborn." It's a DLC sized expansion that has you owning a museum. One of the problems with Bethesda games is they have alot of legendary loot but no where to put it, Legacy fixes that by turning the game into a scavenger hunt of items to collect. You can get more expansions for more items but with the base game you can already fill up the museum. It also has integrated patches for quests like Forgotten City and Clockwork, meaning once you complete it you get a display. It has a player home, full loot sorter, expeditions for fossils and lost items. There's alot added just by this one mod.
If you're playing Dynasty Warriors, 8 Extreme Legends is a bit old but really fun. Grabbing One Piece Warriors 3 or 4 is also worth it.
Grab the Bioshock remasters if you haven't played Bioshock, 1 and 2 have been well done by 2k. 2 especially has aged well.
World in Conflict is an easy to get into RTS game. No base building and more unit management and zone control against the Cold War gone hot.
Oh, try the Metro games. 2033, Last Light and Exodus. Those will be a good test for your laptop.
Modded XCOM 2 is pretty fun if you can spare a few hours making characters for it.
The Baldur's Gate games are worth it. They are a bit old. Just be careful with the enhanced editions, Beamdog put out siege of trannysphere and it was a rubbish expansion.
Try the Earth Defense Force games, 5 is really good and they just announced a 2024 release date for 6.
Dawn of War with either Ultimate Apoc or Unification mod is peak 40k.
You could try "A Tale of Two Wastelands" for Fallout NV. It puts the content of Fallout 3 in the NV engine, it's still a little jank and the story of 3 still sucks but you can use brush guns and .50 cal anti-material sniper rifles against super mutants which is fun. Throw in the B42 animations and it's a different game than vanilla Fallout 3.
The Witcher series? I know CDPR went bad with Cyberpunk but they made an RPG series I have played over the years. 1 is kinda rough, 2 is too short and 3 was complained about being too long for the devs so they shortened 2077's story over it.
The Shadowrun games, Dragonfall and Hong Kong are worth a look at. Grab the Caldecott caper for Hong Kong, has you robbing a train to get rich in the San Fran area. it's really good.
Could try the Knights of the Old Republic. There's a mod list on r/kotor that is worth a look at.
Valkyria Chronicles is kinda anime but has a good gameplay loop I like. 1 and 4 are on PC.
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy is a remaster of the DS titles but is a good read. Kinda waiting for the Apollo Justice ones soon but that's next year.
NieR Automata. Wonder if your computer can handle android butts.
Okami is an older title but it's such a colorful adventure.
The Yakuza series. Like a Dragon or 0 is a good place to start. That new title comes out soon I think.
Age of the Ring mod takes a bit to work but worth it.
Alan Wake got remastered. Play the original before that black female cop comes in the sequel.
Ah, Project Wingman and Ace Combat 7. PW just got a major update and AC7 is always fun if a little restive in it's flying.
The Stanley Parable - Ultra Deluxe. It's a walking sim, true. But it makes you think about the connection between player and narrator. Worth a look.
SWAT 4 has the SEF mod and working multiplayer. Ready or Not is still in early access but you could try that.
Spyro Reignited is one I really enjoyed. A proper remaster of the PS1 games.
Maneater is where you play as a shark. Chomp chomp. The DLC is kinda glitchy for me.
ASTLIBRA Revision is kinda simple but it's a really fun JRPG. Glad I played this one.
And Symphony of War is a turn based tactics game where the unit composition of a squad matters more than individual firepower. The dev stumbled into it but it's a fun experience.
Should be something in there for you to play.
Startopia the old one not Starbase Startopia the recent one. The devs abandoned that and the AI assistant constantly puts you down.
This reminds me so much of the Booty Warrior. Just in reverse.
Can find it here.
Only took about a day after the game was released on steam.
I have a 1070 GTX. I can run Armored Core 6 perfectly at 60FPS, I can play 2077 on Medium, despite how buggy it was. I can play a thousand mod Skyrim AE playthrough and not suffer slowdown.
I can't run Starfield as the min requirements are a GTX 1660. Fallout 4 was a GTX 550 and 76 was a GTX 760. I tried playing it and it crashed 3 times. The game requires 6 gig of ram at all times, there are load spikes everywhere.
I think this'll be the game that modders can't fix. Some might even stay with Skyrim/Fallout because of how bad it is.
This. It's the same as airports. More than $10K and you get reported.
Definitely Gankutsuou or the Count of Monte Cristo. Let's take one of the most famous revenge stories from french literature but have the director do the sort of drugs that result in something like the DeLorean from Back to the Future. The result is setting it in the year 3,000, where France is a space spanning empire and the Count himself is possessed by a space demon after getting betrayed by his crew. It's a slow revenge build up story driven by an idiot protagonist, but it's really good.
Jormungand's second season kinda sucks with the whole "crash the sky" plot. I didn't much care for it.
I also plan on rewatching Twelve Kingdoms sometime soon. This was isekai a decade before the genre even existed and it's good. A schoolgirl meets her Kirin and is transported back. She has the magic sword to learn the language but her friends that got sucked in too don't. Imagine being Isekaied without knowing the language or having access to modern technology. I also wanna rewatch Dennou Coil and Moribito at some point.
Obscure Sci-fi would be Z.O.E Dolores, I. Half the series is just trying to get from Earth to Mars while the family is being chased by authorities. Decent English dub. And if you haven't seen Yamato, you should.
Just wanted to post this banger track. Been waiting a decade for Adult Swim to allow Brendon to finish his series and he finally did it.
Horny still exists, you just need to look for it.
Mainline games will have ugly females that get fixed by mods. Nude mods are still a thing and facial mods for Baldur's Gate 3 that beautify the female companions have progressives reeeeeing on twitter because they want females to have wrinkles.
Or just play Skyrim with lewd mods, there's so many of them.
That's the hard cover, you can get the CRPG book free as an ebook here. Archive.org version (it's the same) here. This is a comprehensive list put out by some people from RPGcodex. So it's not tainted.
The CRPG one looks extensive. It covers alot from 1975 all the way to 2019. Almost 700 pages.
Eventually found the JRPG one, this is about 640 pages.
Protip, if you can't find the book on archive.org or a google search, try this instance of Z-library. The other ones want you to pay or log in but this one is free.
