Am I being punk'd? Half of y'all don't seem to think it's real? Am I boomer falling for it???

there have been so many of these things that have been proven to be scripted. They do this to get boomer investors to give them money.

Game was jank. First level was cool. Every other level felt slippery, untested, glitchy, and repetitive.

I almost really like Rashid's, but those gloves are weird and ride too far up his arms. IDK, I really like the ballcap on him though.

are you gonna spend money on this? Havent the other costumes been like 20-40 dollars?

Who buys this garbage

This is kinda scary. I'll probably hypocritically try it out though

you have to learn the timing of the script to make sure it seems like it is reacting properly when you show it to investors

Trump doing this is what caused inflation. That and war stuff in Ukraine disrupting supply.

America has relied in China for a long time for cheap labor and products. Are they going to produce this stuff in the Us?

These videos almost always turn out to be prescripted and by grifters.

Its super cheap to make, easy to eat, and you can cook a lot of it.

How do you define "hard" sci-fi, exactly? I love Trek, in all its flavors, but if someone asked me to recommend them hard sci-fi, I'd say to go watch something like The Expanse.

You can't exactly call Trek soft or space opera, it's not like that space wizard franchise, after all. But I've just never filed it away in my mind as a "hard" sf series.

Personally, hi-tech, interstellar locations or futuristic travel, no medieval stuff, aliens, advanced robots or ai, no classic swords and shields stuff.

Xenosaga, yes.
Star Ocean 2, no. It has scifi elements, but it meanders in classic tropes

Radiant Historia for sure, I had that in my quote log. Pissed I never finished that. I got that for free off a board hunter here. He just sent it to me. I thought I was thorough. Oh well.

That game is more steampunk euro/castle stuff with a time travel element.

I never got around to putting the time into it, and its more jrpg adjacent but the Front Mission games seemed to have world building besides just painting an RPG with sci fi tropes.

Front Mission was pretty cool. I love games about big bulky mechs. Armored core too.

It made a lot of bad Pokemon viable.

It also made a lot of OP Pokemon more OP.

I like the idea, but it could have been implemented better.

Does cyberpunk count? Almost every Megami Tensei game.

SMT is ok, but i should have specified, hi-scifi. Like Star Trek. Not so much like Cyberpunk.

solosnake posted...

does ff8 count?

I think 7/8 scratch the itch, but id like more star trek if that exists.

solosnake posted...

phantasy star 4 is one of the best, 2 was pretty great as well for the time

It is, but it is pretty archaic today. I really wish there was something a little more visually interesting, like a ps1 era game. We did have Xenogears, ff7/8, and Xenosaga though. Xenosaga did it perfectly.

As far as i know, SO1-3 are very old European settings. Forests, caves, swords, magic. One character uses a blaster sometimes, but he is a fish out of water.

Rogue Galaxy is a huge shame. It starts promising. Spaceships, sandworms, etc. The space pirates dont do anything space piratey, besides calling themselves that. They just gather treasure on stereotypical planets themed after stereotypical jrpg tropes. Jungle. Beach. Temple. There is the one town that is futuristic, but for some reason, nothing else is. And that town has two dungeons which are just steel halls and a dank prison stage. I dont know why they couldnt stick with the scifi stuff, and devolved into tropey stuff.

Star Ocean has scifi objects, but for some reason they still insist on sticking to ye olde European settings for these games, which baffles me.

Rogue Galaxy hardly had anything to do with space pirates, even thought the characters claimed they were. They just travel to stereotypical jrpg locales, like jungles and ancient ruins. There is one futuristic town with two of the worst dungeons in gaming. Another town is a ye olde European town, yet again.

The Xeno series, specifically Saga, is the only one that I feel embraced it the whole time. Spaceships, future tech, aliens, robots, androids, guns, computers, AI, VR, all that stuff. No peasant towns, no haunted forests, no goblins, king arthur swords, or knights.

Why is this such a rare thing for JRPGs. You would say it is because of their culture not having much scifi, but then explain FF7, Evangeleon, Xeno, etc.

I remember when this was a flash video.

i used to think this was the funniest thing. Still quote it today

SE has been so out of touch for the last two decades. Not only are they chasing trends that they dont understand, but they dont get shy their own successes worked. Ff7-10 worked because they were completely original, they looked gorgeous, and offered experiences no other company was giving. Now today, ff16 is just a lesser version of an action game, with the most boring setting one could imagine, and a sidequest system that puts a browser game to shame.

The only reason they are alive today is because they made an MMO that doesnt look like a ps2 game, and ff7 nostalgia.

my man

Each sf game has a different musical identity.

I spent a whole year dealing with someone i liked. Whenever i moved on, she would get so upset and scream and cry and insult and just have a huge breakdown. I finally decided to give her a chance. We went on a date, and she was on her phone most of the time, was rude to waiters, and felt like she wasnt even there mentally.

im never doing that again

Go figure. Ff7r would have sold so much on Switch. I mean, theoretically. A downgraded chibi version or even the same game with just ff7 og polygons would have been good

HighSeraph posted...

I mean with conversion those prices are close to what you'd pay in USD

Most new games, on Switch, are 5000-6000. Only super weeb niche stuff is 9000.

Ps5 games range from 7000-9000. I think Stellar Blade and FF7R are 7000

Never seen entrepreneurs on dating apps but I would string among the scam Hookers

Had a few of them. One outright admitted it, which I respected at least for not wasting time.

Beveren_Rabbit posted...

you must be American. Videogames outside of America are super expensive. :C

Yeah for real, you guys are lucky. Mad Rat Dead is 7000 here. Fire Emblem games are often 9000. The cheapest new modern games are often 3000. Only ps4 games seems to ever dip below 1000. And thats for bad stuff like Dissidia NT.

Ill also mention, in the crane games in Japan, they often have weird pokemon as prizes. They had Chingling and Pyukumuku recently. Plus, the Pokemon Centers usually have a plush for every pokemon.

Lapras seems to get a lot of attention.

Not those ones specifically, but I have done it to the tech support ones that call you claiming issues with your windows account or what have you.

How far did you let it go? I use to do that with spam callers.

Stop idolizing youtube people

they used some dumb ai thing

Wait how did he out himself? What did i miss?

Anyone ever just play along and see how far you can string them along until they ask for your investment?

Had one today who kept telling me why a certain twitter-wrecker is the greatest guy in the world, because the capitalists at the top smeared him.

here in Japan, they usually look like kpop models, ALWAYS have just one line in their profile, usually a quote from a song or movie, and THATS ALL. They often say their job is small business investor, or entrepreneur. Sometimes they try to be clever by talking about how money isnt important, but it always goes back to the buzzwords about investments.

This doesn't ring any bells and someone else down thread said it was discredited. Do you have anything to offer in defense?

One thing? And it isn't attempting to violently overthrow our government? I mean, if I had to pick only one...

Dont forget the rape. Hes a legit rapist, on the record, now.

Youre gonna have so much fun stepping on dirt with those

Stay away from her

You were selfish, you are manipulative, you never show improvement, you blame others for how things go down, and you wont let her live her life. She owes you nothing. You hurt her, she wants to move on.

if any part of you thinks you are getting better, leave her alone.

also this gimmick is stupid and i dont believe it ever happened with the strangely narcissistic kind of language you use.

This.

There are really too many people on the internet who ignore facts.
A common problem on social media platforms these days.

I don't get what's so hard about checking sources first, understand the context and being careful before sharing such "informations".

Because those facts are lies obviously!,,

Most of them are probably grifters.

Talk to real people.

Anyone can post any garbage they want on YT
