Maniac64 - One Piece bro, but unfortunately also a Souls detractor, so the jury is still outThese are both true. Though maybe I'm less a detractors and more "these games are not for me". I am a bad gamer and don't like challenging games like Souls and especially long boss battles you have to try multiple times. I'm bad at them and don't get satisfaction from eventually beating them, so it's just lots of frustration followed but minor relief when it's over. I know other people really enjoy them and I'm glad they exist for those people. Just keep them as their own thing please and dont stick one of those bosses in a game it doesnt fit (I am still mad about the last DLC boss in Witcher 3). --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris |

Didn't verify but I saw some people say it's not even an "additional" fast travel point. It gives you an early boost, but you still hit a total cap and end up with an unusable extra stone if you then collect every in-game one.I guess I can see where that would still be convenient but man I hope it's cheap. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris |

More research has shown that you can change your character's appearance in-game. Have to buy an item using in-game currency at major cities. The currency can be acquired either through doing stuff in-game (or through microtransactions, lol). That's a lot better than appearance changing being solely locked to microtransactions.That was how it worked in the original game as well. Though you could start a new game and it would just delete/overwrite your existing save file. Portcrystal - Warp Location MarkerNone of these DLCs sound egregious either. All those things are going to be available in game as well, it's just paying to make things slightly easier/have more currency/have one additional fast travel point. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris |

Seems to be really popular, but I watched it years ago when going through a bunch of Ghibli films and I remember nothing of it. Don't even remember if I liked it or not. It left no lasting impression. I actually checked it out from the library recently thinking I hadn't seen it but reading the back plot summary brought back just enough memory to make me realize I had.

My amateur understanding is that the 6 years part is at least founded in truth? It's something like: if you enter the U.S. and claim that you're seeking asylum in the U.S., because staying in your home country would be dangerous for you, then by law the U.S. must give you a hearing in court to formally adjudicate your claim. And those courts have an enormous backlog.This is correct. It's also why we need to change the law that doesn't allow people waiting for their court date to work in the US. Literally millions of potential workers told to just sit on their hands for 6 years and live off whatever small amount they get from the government. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris |
