New arcade just opened up near me, they've got maimai, Chunithm, and Wacca all patched to connect to unofficial servers with most songs unlocked. Cabs are all in excellent condition, I'm never going back to Round 1 again. Location's perfect too, at the mall 10 minutes away from where my local Riichi Mahjong club meets, so this may be my new Wednesday routine to hang out there before club.
Still working my way through this one. It’s aight. Not as good as the first one; better mechanics and QoL, but lacks the amazing writing and soul of the first one. Still very enjoyable when doing main quests though and excited to finish.
But… from what I’ve seen on Twitch I, next I really want to play Abiotic Factor. Described as Half Life 1 meets Minecraft, with apparently amazing progression. Can’t wait.

Really? The first one seemed content to just let you do mundane tasks as part of your quests, but I’ve found that this second one makes sure that there’s always something interesting along the way.
3D platformer with some interesting mechanics and boss fights. Enjoying it so far. There are some mild collectathon elements, but nothing tedious. I like the art style a lot.
I think you’ve seen that there’s more than meets the eye, at the very least, so we can leave it at that. A friend of mine was quite sure he had almost finished it before when he was nowhere close, lol.
Its working real well in America right now… Almost like being a prick to people for “great fun” had negative consequences or something… But lets imagine someone said “Making the gays uncomfortable is great fun. :D”… That would be bigotry, right? Yet for some weird reason, you feel totally fine and safe to say something like that… How odd…
lol Ah, yes. The excuses. “Its ok for me to be a bigot because reasons!!!”. And then you wonder why you get that hate back. What a spoon eating cunt you are.
Yeah, thats pretty much how it works. If you treat people like theyre pieces of shit long enough, they start acting like pieces of shit. Its fucking basic psychology.
If everyone calls you a dick for long enough, it will chip away at your self esteem. Eventually, in order to try to improve your situation, you’ll reach out to something bigger than your self. Thats happens every single day for things MUCH less than treating people like they are fascists. For most people, the thing they reach out for is a football team or something like that. But for others, it can be something much worse. Like race, or religion, of political parties. People often ask “How is racism still a thing?” Well, this is how. Low self esteem. And it happens every day with out the help of fuckwits like the guy I responded to, who has clearly already made their choice to be a bigot.
Theres never any excuse to hate a person because of their skin colour, their sex/gender, or who they love. And if youre trying to make an excuse, you might not be the hero of the story you think you are.
Yes, but unfortunately some people in this thread lack the reading comprehension to understand that. That’s ok. I’m sure if they keep practicing, they’ll get there eventually.
We know exactly what they meant, because they said the words. Thats how you know what people mean. If they meant to say make bigots feel uncomfortable, they would have said that. But they didnt. Why? Because they see all straight people as the enemy in this weird little culture war they have going on.
Im a firm believer in you doing whatever you want in life, as long as it doesnt hurt anyone else. Trans, gay, straight and everyone else in between. You do you. But when I see this shit? Dude, rubs me the wrong way. Its just hate to fuel the stupid as fuck culture wars. And people are eating it up and spreading it around. Straight people are not the enemy. Some of them might be, that that doesnt mean you get to hate them all, any more than you get to hate all black guys because some of them sell drugs to kids. Thats just bigotry, and it makes hate so much easier to spread. Just look at MAGA, and how easily it spread amongst them. All because nuance left the conversation, and everyone started to generalise. Its enough, it really is.
Yes I agree with all of what you said here. But I also believe that if they say they didn’t mean what they said, and the original statement has the possibility to get misconstrued then I think they can be given a chance.
Unlike maga figurehead, who contradicts his every statement on hourly basis
The addition of romance options in game needs to just be removed. It’s incredibly cringy and rarely ever adds anything to the narrative aside from side-plot fodder.
Leave relationships to The Sims and quit wasting the time that’s better spent making the game more stable and bug free.
Either get rid of it or make every romance option open to PCs regardless of character creation options.
I dunno what you’re saying about the Sims tho, the last time I did romance in the Sims I was killing all my spouses to collect types of death. Far more interesting than the average romance option in games.
Seriously… What’s the deal with everyone here making psychological evaluations of one’s disposition based solely on assumptions made from a single comment? I see it everywhere. Is there some mandated requirement with Lemmy that people subscribe to the 2007 Internet Denizens Guidebook to Being Edgy?
Dude, I’ve logged about 20 minutes of time in Mass Effect. I didn’t like it. So I have no idea what “alien tang” is.
I simply voiced my opinion on the subject as everyone else has. If that’s not how things work here, then I can definitely see why the user count is diminishing.
That's how the world works buddy. Sorry if you stepped outside your echo chamber, but romance is a part of stories as much as romance will always be a genre of books.
And everyone's gonna judge you if you say stupid shit like this. 'Psychological evaluation', as you put it, is just extrapolating. Or, if you need smaller words, guessing that since you're dumb enough to completely dismiss romance as being worthy of including in a plot, you might be dumb enough to be a bible thumping Karen, or part of Collective Shout.
If you really think being a bigot is okay, I don't really know what else to tell you. Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out? You don't have many friends?
I don’t recall anything I said being bigoted at all, but the. Again- I’m not in charge how you interpret information.
Speaking of wind tunnels, it appears as if I haphazardly stepped into yours. Apologies that I upset you as it wasn’t my intention.
Real quick… I was told Lemmy was different than Reddit, clearly that’s not the case here, as a different opinion is frowned upon- so could you maybe direct me to the area of lemmy that _they were talking about?
I’ve barely played this version and it really makes it less of a chore compared to the Dreamcast version.
Squad
It’s hard to recommend to new players because of some big issues the game has but it’s the only game that I play 90% for the social interaction it brings.
I’m about to start EX mode in Void Stranger. The method to unlock it and the tail puzzle are the only two solutions I’ve just looked up for this game because holy shit do I not have the time for that lol.
Good game, with the exception of those two puzzles specifically
Virtually every JRPG has a straight romance subplot, typically staring the main character. Every FF since… six? Every Dragon Quest. Every Persona. Kingdom Hearts. Fucking Mario Brothers has a straight romance in it.
Like you think Doom Guy is straight because he’s clearly a Christian?
I think you can head-cannon that the two dudes in Time Crisis are having hard core steamy Special Agent on Special Agent lovemakings in between chapters. Fine and good.
But when Arno & Elise kiss in Assassin’s Creed Unity? I’m sorry, but nobody needs to see that heteronormative degenerate filth. Kids are playing that game. What are they going to grow up thinking?
For Mario and Peach, Nintendo has had decades to do something and hasn’t. They officially confirmed they’re just friends I believe.
For Kingdom Hearts, it’s a similar thing with Sora and Kairi. There are some undertones and potentially attraction but they’re just friends, and children besides. They haven’t done so much as kiss. Plus with Birth by Sleep it’s shown that Sora literally has had another dude inside him for years.
Those relationships are straight-coded as heck though, there’s no way you could flip genders on Peach or Kairi and not have the result be interpreted by gamers as super gay.
nobody needs to see that heteronormative degenerate filth. Kids are playing that game.
Wow, didn't expect someone speaking so loudly about same sex relationships to be so bigoted, but all walks of life, I guess. Either way, I seriously hope you have no interaction with anyone below the age of 30 personally or professionally.
I'm not gonna even get into how romance is just a part of a story, and if you read anything that has romance in it, fanfic or not, it has just as much a right to exist.
I will however rip into you pointing out franchises for 'heteronormative degenerate filth'. First, the game isn't about you. No game ever is, nor ever will be. If that is a moral failing of a game, I suggest you start making games yourself or stop playing them, because any other expectation is really stupid beyond compare.
I will concede that games often lure you into self inserting yourself into the main character, as JRPGs tend to do. But at some point, the illusion has to break, and I can't really imagine how you'd get mad if you're self inserting into Zidane (FF IX protagonist) or even Leon or Cloud ( I hope you know enough about franchises you're trash talking to know who they are).
Also, to complain about the Assassin's Creed franchise of all things is so braindead I have to question if you're a plant. You're saying children are playing a game whose whole premise is premediated murder, and the romance scenes are what you're up in arms about? That is honestly beneath anything that breathes to acknowledge, and really shows that critical thinking is a skill.
Do note, however, that if children are playing a game with mature content in it? That's the parent's responsibility as an individual to care for their child. Games aren't obligated to include or exclude content to suit children, nor even whiny little shits like yourself.
I feel like your point about ACU is good, but I also feel like the Arno/Elise romance is a driving factor for his character. Sure, it’s unfortunate it’s yet another straight romance story, and I feel like an argument could be made that it almost should have been a gay romance between two boys who grew up together. Idk where I’m really going with this besides I think the romance in general is the point and not the fact that it’s with Elise, a woman.
