I'm a big fan of the Science Adventure series and I'm a firm believer in that all of the mainline entries are good to fantastic.

Chaos;Head Noah is the definitive version of Chaos;Head. It fixes the pacing and adds in individual character routes for each heroine and gives it a proper ending. I know some people are turned off by the main character but I really enjoyed the atmosphere in Chaos;Head with how tense it is and how you're not sure what you're seeing is real or not.

Robotics;Notes is my favourite entry in the series. It's quite different to the other entries as it's very character focused and almost slice-of-life esque. The characters are some of the most well-written in any VN and you really enjoy bonding with each of them. While it can be read alone, it follows on from events that have happened in both Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate. (especially Chaos;Head).

Robotics;Notes DaSH is a sequel to Robotics;Notes and not that great to be honest. It's more of a side story than a mainline entry where Daru from Steins;Gate arrives and pervs on the Robotics Club members. Bear in mind that Robotics;Notes takes place in 2020 and Daru at this point has a wife and daughter and is in his thirties and it's not a great look for him. Surely he would have grown out of it by now. Not a whole lot happens in it either.

Chaos;Child, some people claim is the highlight of the entire series. It's a spiritual sequel to Chaos;Head but none of the cast appear in it. It takes place 6 years after the events of that and once again, strange murders are starting to take place in Shibuya that bear a resemblance to ones from 6 years ago. While you can read it without experiencing Chaos;Head, I would strongly recommend that you read Chaos;Head first. Chaos;Child expects you to know certain things and builds on your expectations and subverts them in multiple ways.

Occultic;Nine doesn't have an English translation and probably won't get one any time soon. The VN was a flop in Japan and despite promises by the team to work on a director's cut (like Chaos;Head Noah) that seems to have been quietly cancelled. Your only real option here is to watch the anime or read the light novel. It's not a great entry in my opinion.

Anonymous;Code is the culmination of every mainline entry that has come before it. It takes place in 2038 and is about a group of hackers who get the ability to "save and load" the world state, enabling one of them to travel back in time to a previous save point. It heavily relies on events established in Steins;Gate. I would recommend that you tackle this last but the only real necessary reading for this is Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0.

Every single entry (bar Occultic;Nine) has an improvement patch by Committee of Zero (https://sonome.dareno.me/projects/) which massively improve the English translation as the official translations raise from subpar to average. The team make sure that each is handled with a ton of love and care and considering how intertwined the entries are, that the terminology is consistent. As you can probably tell, I'm a huge fan of the franchise and if you have any questions, feel free to send them my way.

Yeah, sorry - my mistake I thought that they were saying that the British coins changed.

They turned them boring some years ago.

Those aren't British coins, they look Swedish to me?

The coins and the picture look nothing alike

They do if you look at the crest, not the lion and unicorn at the side.

I'm from the UK and I didn't even know that.

You can tell this isn't Japanese because it reads left to right, not right to left.

Nah, it's definitely right to left.

I mostly didn't play online games in this era but honestly I really do like automatic matchmaking. removes the intimidating factor of actually having to choose and play against specific people

You may as well play against bots then?

Hell yes, you got to know all the regulars and develop a real sense of community. I miss it.

CleanURLs - if you copy a link, it'll remove any tracking data from it
Enhancer for Youtube - adds a bunch of features to improve your experience
Facebook Container - isolates your Facebook activity and stops it following you through the internet
Fastforward - Skip those annoying link shorteners that require you to wait 60 seconds
Flagfox - Display a flag showing where the website is currently based
Simple Translate - Does what it says on the tin

The others have already been mentioned.

During Lord Cameron's visit to the US, he is expected to speak to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken about support for Ukraine and bringing stability to the Middle East, the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said.
Republican lawmakers have been blocking a proposed $60bn (47bn) military aid package for Ukraine for months.
Mr Trump, and his supporters within the party, oppose the US package providing aid to Ukraine. Those in the House of Representatives have vowed to vote against the package without additional funding for US border security being agreed to first.
Lord Cameron has been urging Republicans for some time to approve the aid package, particularly angering Republican congresswoman and Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who told the foreign secretary to "kiss my ass".

Classy lady there. Good way to keep your allies on board.

Goes into the invasion and occupation of Iraq and talks to key figures in the White House, 10 Downing Street and Iraq itself. The bit that stood out to me is that right from winning the election in 2000, the plan was to always invade Iraq. Afghanistan was just a bump in the road.

There's definitely an argument to be made for going into Afghanistan after 9/11 but not Iraq.

Yakuza 4 is a massive step up from 3, and one of the better entries due to Akiyama. Gameplay is a lot more refined too.

It sadly does have the worst final boss in the entire series which soured me quite a bit on it.

Dedicated fans have found a way to continue playing games online when Nintendo pulls the plug.

What's this? I'm afraid to click it.

It restores the online components to both the 3DS and Wii U so you can continue to play online even when Nintendo turn the servers off.

With love and respect, you've got to abandon this hill. That game is butt and everyone knows it.

I also think that RE6 is underrated. If you want a terrible mainline title, look at RE0.

Oh look the Gamefaqs Nintendo fans are having a fit I see.

Whats the matter can't accept the truth that we Brits much prefer one of the most iconic games characters ever over Mario.

So nice to see we Brits go for a British games character.

I'm from the UK I disagree. We don't live in the 90s anymore. Lara may have been popular back then but she really isn't any more. She's as iconic as Agent 47 and Sackboy. Which is to say, not that iconic. My top 5 would have been: Pikachu, Master Chief, Link, Sonic & Mario.

I turn my phone off at night so I won't know about it until the next morning.

BTW, if it's not 7, then which is the most under rated. I heard Code Veronica.

I think 6 gets too much hate. Sure, it's not a great RE game but some people treat it like it's the Sonic '06 of the franchise. The actual gameplay is fantastic, and all you need to do is play the Mercenaries mode to see that.

Its a more personable experience than Reddit. Also you have 1312

Even more if you count his alts like Gran Turismo.

The two main characters don't change at all. They're just as boring at the end of the game as they are at the start, so no luck there. The supporting cast helps out a ton but no-one is particularly well written or anything.

Just decline any friend requests from people you don't know.

so it is the opposite? eu much better for that stuff. What do you mean, right to repair, consoles, and phones?

The EU being tougher on piracy than the US is a different subject altogether and it's down to individual countries on what they want to enforce. Consumer rights are higher in the EU (and UK) than they are in America. As for right to repair:
https://therestartproject.org/right-to-repair-uk/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_repair
tl;dr - Everyone should have the right to repair any electronic devices they own and not be dictated to by the manufacturer (coughApplecough) what they can do with it.

The misogynists at Resetera unsurprisingly don't like it.

Nintendo just needs to put Sony out of the console game so we can stop with these timed exclusives keeping games from PC for no reason.

So when's the next Mario game coming to PC?
