Vimeo Game cool

Was anyone else kind of disappointed in the Pokemon presents? (kbin.social)

I was hoping for something new, like a new pmd or Legends, or another new spinoff entirely, but we got literally nothing new. We got detective Pikachu release date, a couple events for the mobile games, and dlc we already knew about. The applin and duraludon evos are great, don't get me wrong, but I really wanted something new,...

Yeah it's like I'm getting jerked around by all my monster collector RPGs. Not a word on the new Digimon story game this year, Pokemons getting worse in every conceivable way except fan games.

At least I still have cassette beasts

I mean Pokemon fan games have been the absolute savior of the series for me recently. Uranium, Insurgence, XenoVerse, Infinite Fusion, and most recently Flux have all been amazing, and I cannot wait for swirling seasons!.

Monster Sanctuary was very apparently made with a lot of love and care, but I couldn't quite make it through the tutorial. I don't blame the game as I was in a funk at the time, I'll have to give it another go after baldurs gate is done devouring my soul.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I can see not liking them. Infinite Fusion is the Kanto story again for the umpteenth time, the fusions made it for me, and the built in challenges was cool, but I could absolutely see not being interested.

If you want that traditional Pokemon experience, Flux or XenoVerse might come the closest even with Flux not having the standard gym challenge.

Insurgence is the formula witha darker tone

Indeed, good sir. When something is based, it is generally considered to be positive.

That pricing seems really good, you can get a refurbished 64 and a 1tb SSD for about the cost of a new 64gb. Seems almost too good to be true.

Well that means one of two things, it's either the result you wanted, whichever that is, or is basically saying "nice"because that means you got laid.

Well here's hoping, it'll be a huge win for humanity if it works out and is, indeed replicable at any kind of scale. We haven't had very many winds as a species recently, so any victory would be great.

Porque no los dos?

What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

Golden Sun. Despite some other masterpieces, I still maintain that the trilogy of games represent Motoi Sakuraba's magnum opus. Nothing else from the life of the GBA came anywhere close to even touching it, and even now tracks will randomly get stuck in my head, more than I can say for any other game soundtrack I've ever heard.

So many potential advances. Could quantum computing become more easily accessible if thermal load is a non issue? Could renewable become more viable if they don't lose as much energy to travel?

Could its discovery propel high speed rail into the future?! Hoverboard?!

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, it expressly says that it can't be used in this difficulty, but maybe I'll move up to normal for subsequent playthroughs to have it as an option

One more unit appears from the top row of the ice age, the White (Walker) Queen.

Crpgs are their own thing. They are computer RPGs that seek to emulate ttrpg systems and storytelling style, like Solasta, divinity, bladurs gate, and the pathfinder games from owlcat

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Well, a superconductor as the name might imply is a super conductor, meaning electricity flows very well through it with negligible resistance. This means generators of all types can be placed further away from where people are, especially renewables, like geothermal or offshore wind/water farms.

There's also the possibility of commercial mag-lev that could revolutionize high speed rail.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Well it can't be any worse than what Activision and blizzard are shoveling at us. Can't wait to see something from the new guys.

Ice age baby appears on a random 2x2 square currently covered in ice, consuming the souls of any adjacent pieces.

LegendofDragoon,

Yeah that's the thing, there's no way for a perfect balance, just because of how many different styles of gameplay there are. What they have is good, I think.

My all time favorite was the Nintendo Nsider forums. Young me was devastated when they announced they would be shutting down

I experience all of my emotions as a flash in the pan. Anger, shock, fear, sadness, joy. All of them, very, very intensely, but only for a moment before I'm back to zero.

Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out (gamerkick.com)

The successor to Nintendo Switch named Switch 2 will continue to be a hybrid console that can be played on TV and in portable mode, it will be launched without an OLED screen (it will have an LCD) and it will have cartridges/cards for physical games , according to various sources. Anonymous to VGC, where they say that the device...

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

I have heard that dev kits were going out, probably the most credible rumors I've heard so far, but unless it's more like a switch 1.5, I don't think we're going to have a holiday 2024 release windows. Unless it's announced during holiday 2023 I suppose, but I can't see less than a year of marketing unless it's more of a deluxe/pro version.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Hmm, wow, looks like you're right, I thought that cycle was a lot longer. Perhaps because I end up so steepped in the rumor and leak community. Maybe then, maybe. The first time I heard the dev kit rumors was probably back in January ish? So let's say they had them for a quarter before the rumor got out, though it could obviously be a lot longer.

That's September 2022 to November 2024 to prepare launch titles, definitely not a bad timeline at all, especially if the architecture is similar to the switch.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, leak season is my favorite part of the cycle, because so many of them are just so outlandish it's hilarious, plus the community is usually pretty chill about everything, even when the leak you supported/believed was debunked. Here's hoping, I think it'll either be September to May or June to November, with that new information. The death of E3 has opened up a lot of possibilities for announcements. It's almost more exciting than when you knew where it would be revealed.

I wouldn't mind a beefier switch, the original always feels so fragile in my meaty mitts

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Just add Isaac and it becomes better than ultimate for me, lol

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Isaac from Golden Sun, which my avatar depicts if you have them enabled, lol, but good guesses.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, they keep acknowledging that it's a popular series, it got brought to Wii u and even is coming to the switch as one of the first GBA games, but they won't do anything else with the series :(

It's not as bad as you're thinking. It's very much in the modern style of powered by the apocalypse games, but instead of investigate then combat, it's romance then combat. It's, perhaps obviously targeted at the LGBTQ community, and that shines through in the art and mechanics, with non LGBTQ relationships being almost an after thought.

If I had to describe it as simply as possible, I would probably tell you to watch She-ra and the princesses of power.

Whenever someone talks about fate there's this moment of fear, because it's so close in name to FATAL. It's only for a moment though.

Excellent! I'll give it a watch/listen! Thanks!

What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

A VN/RPG that has romance and doesn't make it an after thought. Like in most persona games or fire emblem games or even like mass effect. When romance is a thing, once you hit that we're a couple button that's pretty much it.

But then VNs represent the opposite end of the spectrum where you make the decision to pursue someone and that's it, the entire narrative shifts to completely focus on that. I want a middle ground, where there is one structured narrative that asks the question "How might chasing down the big bad change if this person versus this person was the person most important to the main character"

Like for example of you wanted to woo the nerdy tech wizard, following his or her story might involve tracking down parts and materials to improve tech and brace against the coming of the bbeg. On the other hand of you want to romance the overeager hothead it might involve trying to take the fight to the bad guys while saving puppies and children along the way. Completely different paths with the same end goal of defeating the bbeg.

Talk to a major law firm about accepting the prize as anonymously as possible. Take the lump sum -payment to the lawyer team and divide it into thirds. One third goes into a trust that I can direct friends and family to with instructions to offer assistance for major life events, weddings, funerals, education and the like. That way I never have to be the bad guy who says yeah, no.

The second third will get invested into low risk bonds so I have a stable income forever

The final third will become what people normally do with lottery winnings, new home, that kind of stuff

LegendofDragoon,

I wonder if they tire of winning yet.

I don't know with what weapons world war 3 will be fought, but world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

It's usually attributed to Einstein but I'm not sure if that's true. It's hard to believe any quote that's attributed to him at this point, honestly.

LegendofDragoon,
@LegendofDragoon@kbin.social avatar

No. No, I can not. It’s real life; I do not have a pullcaster and there are no robot dinosaurs.

That's unfortunate
