@te37owner@Arktheos Idk man, speak for yourself... I think making supports more than oracle bots made it more appealing/approachable, but as an early support main nothing quite beat winning lane and turning that into literal full map vision for the rest of the game.
@100CigsADayDiet@spinning_donuts "Great Show" - Horribly spineless MC that never meaningfully grows, terribly unlikeable heroines (most notably Mami), plus hasn't the author outright admitted that this whole story is just a reverse self-insert cuck fantasy (maybe that's ppl trolling, idk)?
@UnkxwnKilo@UrfrenB3nj11@bloomjpg Yeah but that's my point - a literal F2P game (w/ absolutely 0 microtransactions) completely fucking smashed a AAA title to one of the largest IPs ever (that had a price tag appropriate to both factors). No one cared about price; Quality=King, and the user #'s reflected that.
@UnkxwnKilo@UrfrenB3nj11@bloomjpg I mean... do you remember when people were flaming the fuck out of that Starwars game because Holocure (a fucking free vampire-survivors-like game made by literally one guy) was absolutely decimating it on the steam charts (so badly they wanted to hide the steamcharts data btw).
@UnkxwnKilo@UrfrenB3nj11@bloomjpg Idk man, I'd argue the opposite from what I've seen (excluding twitter idiots who don't actually buy/play games and just blindly defend whatever IP they're a fan of). A lot of the best games the past ~5 years have been ones that are <$40-50
@UnkxwnKilo@UrfrenB3nj11@bloomjpg Yeah but I mean... main point is - if you ship a quality game, no one is going to complain about the price after the fact (esp. if the price is on the lower side; like... w/ E33 everyone was surprised a game THAT good was ONLY $40, esp. after years of AAA slop).
@UnkxwnKilo@UrfrenB3nj11@bloomjpg You've been tricked into thinking this way by AAA studios who are way too comfortable shipping unoptimized, slop-filled, poorly written games. E33 revitalized a genre and swept the awards; literally not 1 person said "Yeah, but it's only $40 so it's not THAT good."
@prodkyar@UnkxwnKilo@bloomjpg Look... I've bought more than my fair share of ultimate/premium edition games over the past few years, but lets not lie about it - they're literally watering down the base game to charge extra for features/aspects that were baseline decades prior.
@UrfrenB3nj11@UnkxwnKilo@bloomjpg Basically no reasonable/sane person... I legit do not understand where this nonsensical argument is coming from after the year we got E33 and Silksong ($40 and $30) which are easily two of the best games in the past 5-10 years (and if anything their low price point was PRAISED).
@Xebenatros@bumbadum14 Worked in customer service for about 5 years and I can assure you in terms of the US, California has some of the strongest restrictions on a wide range of items that can't be shipped/sold there (due to state specific laws/regulations).
@bin66342@yellow_primal I don't disagree, but I don't think it's that alone but rather her poor communication and the after effects of it (literally a whole season/arc of Rudeus working through the trauma she caused), plus the anime is at a spot that hasn't yet fully explained/redeemed her after that.
@bin66342@yellow_primal I mean to be fair she was kind of a bastard at first, and despite some excellent character growth, she did absolutely fuck Rudeus up by leaving (despite it being a misunderstanding by the both of them). Excellent character all the same tho.
@sn84677@Ragnar__6@grok To answer your question - this is a piece of wartime propaganda, used to help troops better understand/combat the threat of diseases carried by mosquitos. There's been countless cartoons exactly like this that serve a similar function in countless countries across the world.
@kizu_skip Remakes for sure. The originals serve for some great nostalgia, but if we're being objective they're the worst games in the series and it's not even close. Horribly weak mons, awkward pacing/lvl curve, and weird dead spots (narrative/progress wise). Remakes fix 'some' of these.
@GeoHistory257@Pokemonpshot After watching so many different people on twitch/YT play the super difficult romhacks - it took me a second to process your comment lol.
@doncris007@NovithDrag2318@PixelBibleBytes You're thinking of time as a single dimension (a line); the argument is that time is a 3D figure (a ball) of events all happening concurrently (past/present/future); further adding to that argument is the concept that 'God' exist outside of time itself.
@CielaNox@AlabastionVT No flame but how/why? Unless you mean outside of the games... Gen 2 mons were so weak that over half the leaders didn't even use gen 2 as aces, having multiple choices for gym order was a huge detriment, and 2 regions was cool but led to fucky pacing.
@lingerieislove@Nytloc@Shade4090L@PochitaDaGoat Actually put it way better than I could have - but ye, I would def suggest it. It does start out a bit weird, but it kinda clears itself up quickly and def is among the better romance anime out there.
