Steins;Gate insomnia binge 14-24 Ok, this went places but overall I think it was good. I'll write more later, but it's a recommendation for @majestic and a caution towards @Bartimaeus who probably couldn't stand the animation or Okarin. Oh, and near the end Okarin did several JoJo poses before doing his laugh.

am knowing there is more than a few obsidian posters who agree with martha and larry, and am admitting the last four years has disabused us o' the arrogance o' being confident in any "most americans" observations, but we would hope many americans realize there is an unconscionable large % o' american children who only get one decent meal a day, and that one sufficient meal is available only 'cause o' free school lunch programs. nutrition is kinda essential for brain development as a child matures. ... am recalling a happier time when pundits were self conscious enough to be embarrassed if they let slip their prejudices regarding social welfare programs which benefited children and others objective unable to bootstrap themselves out of hunger and poverty. in 2021 we got fox news anchors casual bemoaning those damned lazy first graders being conditioned to look for the next handout? HA! Good Fun!

np. please note we did edit inquisitors as is pretty much all archetypes and the base class which has access to a single cleric domain, with the exception o' faith hunters. sacred huntsmaster gets an animal companion at level one and is not domain specific. HA! Good Fun!

am s'posing if we says, "most," it won't likely help. even so, off the top o' our head and likely to be missing options, so other posters feel free to correct, the list as we recall is as follows-- obvious excepting cavaliers as you can't muticlass into cavalier of claw from cavalier: sylvan sorcerer sacred huntsmaster, but actual all inquisitors save faith hunters as long as you choose animal domain as would a cleric. vanilla rangers and the demonslayer archetype which is either broken or just a waste at more than a one level dip... but curious, you will get your animal companion at level 4, so with boon companion it works. huh. hadn't considered that. wandering huntsman, divine hunters, vanilla hunters and colluding scoundrel clerics able to choose animal domain (i.e. gozreh and erastil). is gonna be a boon companion need 'cause is level four acquired. druids, save elemental rampager and blight... but am admitted fuzzy on those as our recollection is not 100% as never played those and am basing off o' perhaps a sidelong glance during feyspeaker creation when peering at other druid options. mad dog barbarian am not doubting we missed something. in any event, is many options. HA! Good Fun! ps (edit) added more to inquisitor

All the times they called Christina a tsundere were hilarious. Sorry. I got have some fun with Steins;Gate gifs since when I get to Jojo I won't risk any spoilers for a long time. I'm already back to Legend of Galactic Heroes. 55 episodes to go. 😀 Edit: why did I write Kurisu? I meant Christina.

I'm doing my part!

Maybe Sueamitrab will like it along with K-On!(!)after they take over Bartimaeus' life and imprison them somewhere, but Bartimaeus generally doesn't like anime dudes and really doesn't like post-90's animation at all so...yeah I agree with majestic, the destroyer of gummy bears and bane of Bruno Vercini. On the other hand, it probably wouldn't kill them like watching Naruto would. Not dying is good. Iggy and Polnareff in the mansion. Faris' winter costume with cat stuff had me laughing.

To be fair this is an inprogress game title and not a final release. Look at the release roadmap before being to critical or harsh

@InsaneCommander In that case I guess it's time for 0. And now I have seen Steins;Gate 0 episode 1. So like half the time, reddit is full of ****. The recommendation that you should watch this before the last two episodes of Steins;Gate is dumb. It does set itself up as a an expansion of those episodes and to show us something about our favorite mad scientist, but just in terms of pacing it would be hugely off. Anyways the hooks are there, the lab members are dressed for winter, and we'll just see how this goes.

More like an interlude. Btw, there will be a tv live action adaptation.

Some people on Steam are reporting that after getting a horse for Seelah, the animal was a better tank than her. 🤣

"Boon Companion" feat is totally bugged at the moment. I tested an Arcane Rider 9 multiclassed and with the feat my animal companion should be only level 13, but it reached level 15. Some players even get it all the way to level 20 regardless of their level in mounted classes.

the trick is very simple really. as soon as the first link breaks, he moves his hands at the speed of light and breaks several other links then brings his hands back to the original position and the chain looks like it shattered

I think there's a segment of US politicos who absolutely despise giving away anything, and I do mean anything, away on principle. Kids are being forced into school (in the sense that it is mandatory to attend school for most) for what roughly correlates to an 8 hour shift with a lunch break, so free school lunches seems like a good thing when opposed to putting kids into lunch debt or just not feeding them.

Don’t get me started on Fox “News” hosts. Most brain dead performance I’ve seen was some completely empty headed individual going on and on about what kind of socialist hell Denmark is, going the same way as Venezuela. Because of such atrocities like free healthcare and free universities. Two different takes on taking the misinformation apart. A Danish politician and a Danish news anchor (with a bit more integrity than Fox)

I post this not so much because I'm all that enamored of the song (or band) but ... I guess they've really become some kind of global phenomenon. After "Dynamite" they appear to be moving towards making most of their songs sung in English. Which, as a non-Korean speaker, I find a little less charming (and I still have a hard time understanding some of their English spoken singing). But ... supposedly they're the first band since the Beatles to have 3 albums reach #1 on Billboard in a year. Special UN Assembly envoy for the S. Korean President (edit: re: Sustainable Development Goals). Billions of YT views. They've been around long enough now that most of their members are in their late 20's. The power of youthful fans - and social/internet media access - can be a powerful thing. And I think it's a good thing. Music, as it can/does, bringing the world together on global scale. I can dig it.

^ While I'm all for making sure contracts are legally honored/full-filled/one isn't being purposely ripped off etc, I still yet always have a little bit of a hard time being very sympathetic to someone who made 20 million wanting another 50 million so desperately they'll hire mega expensive lawyers and sue. Nothing against her in a big sense, I don't live in that world after all, thus I will never understand it - and perhaps it's also because if I made 20+ million (even with the tax bite) on top of any other excess funds/savings from previous works, I would have said "nice knowing ya all, I'm retired from this fame-game now, bye." ...but that's probably why I'm not famous.

I have decided. Hootle is the best character in the game. a master actor of expressive feeling ... a shoo-in for the Owl Academy Awards. Still haven't controlled her. I just switch to take scenic pics sometimes. 😛 You will get knocked through the air and onto your backside, often. The beachwear DLC outfit for my husbando was also worth it. Hey, there's a bikini DLC for the shield-woman, so fair play. Thanks, Bandai Namco. 👍 Can't tell if Rinwell's grin = appreciation or mocking laughter.

I initially thought this person was a troll, but the rest of what they posted made it pretty clear that they just needed to get their pants in the proper place - firmly secured on their head. They're saying that "unironically" because Studio Trigger was founded by the director of several later Gainiax animes. I guess for some people Trigger is the "real" Gainax these days, and the ludicrous thing is that Kill la Kill is a 25 episode long parody, and when I read posts like that I'm guessing they don't really get that. They probably all watched Kill la Kill "unironically" and liked it. Can't really throw away the tape, but it would probably be a good idea. It's not even earning me likes to post about it right now, so what's the point. Oh, right, finishing it because I have to. Eh. There's a certain artistry that went into K-On! regardless of how the show ended up looking that makes it much easier to appreciate than Love Live!. We could of course debate the (de)merits of modern anime, but in that sea of mediocrity, Kyoto Animation sticks out, and not just because they make really beautiful shows (except maybe for close-ups of Violet, you might not like the anime based on the characters, but the shot composition, framing and detail in it is top notch). Modern moe and chibi looks might never really fully work for me, but K-On! got pretty close to me liking it. At the very least I didn't hate it, and I mellowed a little over the course of the show. Unlike, say, Girls' Last Tour, where the looks stuck out like a sore thumb until the very end, and I really liked it in spite of the animation. That... would be interesting to put to the test. I didn't mean that to say that I didn't like the first episode, just that it was exceedingly difficult to watch for me. Well, Okarin is... sort of annoying. edit: Wow, the movie does the "Honoka gets lost on the train" thing again. Except this time on the subway in NY. Good job recycling your own jokes. At this rate, I'll be done watchin this next week or so.

Steins;Gate 12 and 13. God damn, I did not see that coming.

I played the first mission of the Starship Troopers RTS Demo. First impression is that it's better than Dawn of War 3. Though that isn't too hard. It is a bit stressful in that you have to position your units correctly. The game has line of fire, so you can't shoot through friendly units. You can't therefor just run around with Attack-moves as a murder ball.

I think difficulty matters here a lot because of extra/upgraded mobs on PotD? What is OP playing on? Even if fighters get extreme engagement counts, on PotD+upscaling hold, in practice for me positioning makes it extremely hard for a single beefy character to protect all the squishies (and Into The Fray has terrible hit rate early on), unless there's a doorway. Two beefy characters can generally suffice though. i generally tend to slot in a third character, while not really a tank or off-tank, can at least survive some melee punishment for a little bit for cases like the fampyr fights mentioned upthread or when you're just being flanked from all directions in a street encounter, so they can keep the even squishier party members still standing. I occasionally do this, but only really mid-late game when the person I'm peeling off actually has enough tools at their disposal to survive being so isolated, or if it's temporary. Most common example is simply just a rogue or other melee-dps type diving straight for a critical caster, though sometimes in some dungeons I just need a character to take an alternate route to engage the enemy because they're blocked off and I don't have leap or something. (though now that i'm using druid more, druid has enough close-range spells worth using that i find myself leap-ing or running around on their own more often for optimal targeting) but again, only mid-late game really. early on, my rogue trying to take out a skeletal sorcerer will get hit by one arrow and lose half their health and they don't have any escape or evasion skills. only rarely worth it.

Transforming your enemies into memories is more efficient.

Apparently Starship troopers - Terran Command now has a steam demo.

JuiceMedia ("Honest Government Ads") just released their Patreon supporters preview of their upcoming video about the subject - Aukus, Submarines, how it was handled etc. I'll share a link once it gets a public release on youtube. Agree or not with their political views, they are usually funny enough to be worth watching.

we had 1 and now we have 3 dogs at work from the top its Bella, Lola and Schwarzenegger.

Rideble jumping spider would be excellent addition to the game.

Obsidian, you guys do great work. The world building in Pillars of Eternity is nothing short of phenomenal. And, the choices presented to me in my Tyranny playthrough left me wringing my hands in agony about how I wanted to proceed in more than 1 playthrough. Games like these aren't just flippant 'titles,' but instead are masterpieces I'll always return to--they are cherished trophies in my video game collection. Which is why I decided to make an account and write to you today. I've felt a bit alienated with some of your more recent projects and long for a return to high fantasy in a detailed isometric format. Remember how many of us donated to crowd fund the first creation of Pillars 1? We are your base and your biggest fans. Please remember us when making goals for projects in the future. What I loved the most about both PoE 1 and Tyranny is that they were games for everyone. Conservatives, liberals--real life identity conflicts, or lack there of, didn't matter at all. It was about the world and its lore and problems. They were glorious. Please consider expanding upon the worlds you handcrafted in those two titles. Thanks for reading; have a Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy New Year.

I see you agree with me. Anyway, I'm still not finished with the Love Live! movie. It really doubled down on the musical interludes, and now that they're back from New York they're suddenly hugely popular idols. As if winning a national competition in the show proper wasn't enough for that, but a single overseas concert is. Yeah, makes sense. They also just had a whole scene where the dialogue was nothing but OOOOOOOH AAAAAAAAAH WEEEEEEEEEEEE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH EEEEEEEEEEEEEEH WAAAAAAAAAA LAAAAAAAAAAA OEEEEEEEEE? with the girls looking at all the µ's flyers and broadcasts and whatnot. Sure. Well, I guess that's it, I complained about Love Live! not nearly being as bad as I thought it would be, but this is it. This is terrible. Umi is sitting in a corner and crying, saying this is too embarrassing and that she can't deal with everything. I hear you, my dear Umi. I hear you. You and me both, you and me... both. It's hard to believe this was written by the same person that made the Rome and Juliet episode of K-On!. Sigh. 53 minutes left. edit: One minute later they're kidnapping Honoka to force µ's to not disband. Wow. edit 2: Scene lasts all of 20 seconds. Such funny. Much laugh.

Still, one can't help but to feel like the Q who killed himself on Voyager every now and then when posting in this thread. You end up realizing that everything is a pointless rehash of something said before, and you just delete everything. This thread is probably not causing stars to spontaneously go nova and John de Lancie trying to have a baby with Kate Mulgrew any time soon.

Steins;Gate 9-11 You know too much.
