Wut? **** you Microsoft...

Yeah... I have been seeing it for two weeks now and the short trailer didn't seem bad so I gave it a go.

As majestic said, it will go away in a week or two. My recommendation is to get a box of wet wipes that are for cleaning glasses, you will get very frustrated with the cleaning cloth when it gets dirty, which happens very quickly. These are the best I found:

Orbital Children, or a better title should be Evangelion Children. The story is convoluted almost to the level of Evangelion, but I liked it. Especially because it's only 6 episodes long, so it's very to the point.

Letterkenny season 10. More of the same, which is not bad.

I'm well enough. All in all the symptoms were pretty light, although the coughing got intense at one point. edit: very>were

Was sick for the past week. Didn't get tested, but the person I got it from, again, did. The symptoms were pretty much the same as 2 years ago from what I can remember, only that this time by the end of it I lost my sense of smell and taste. I got my taste back mostly the next day. Hoping that the residual symptoms don't stick around too long, last time I was coughing for a while.

Finished Magnetic Rose. It wasn't scary for me, although I could see the comparison to Alien. Other than that it was solid enough. Reminds me of Shinichi Hoshi stories somewhat.

Well there is slicing and there is life, soooo.....

Well if Blade Runner was slice of life.

At this point shooting himself in the foot is healthier than Discovery.

Well, going to watch Memories tonight. While we are on the subject of Memories, has anyone watched Plastic Memories? I think you would like it @majestic. (let's see how wrong I am this time 😄) It's 13 episodes long btw, so not that much of a commitment.

I think the amount of people who use mods is negligible to the amount that play the game. I never did like the idea of holding the players hand and eliminating the possibility of a wrong choice. In theory it sounds nice, but as you say it makes it everything the same. Oh the fighter is so smart that he only hits critical points... whatever... I don't think it was ever advocated to remove minor fights, just not to remove xp from them. It made the annoying fights, just annoying.

And it's not like it's hindsight that balance being the main focus was a bad idea, a not so small amount of people here on the forums were very much against it and were saying that it would make the game boring... There was also the dreaded metagaming. That some encounters were unfair and only beatable with metagaming knowledge. So we got not memorable fights. And on, and on, and on... It's sad that the lead creator was someone who did not like the basis of the games he was trying to emulate.

I for sure am in that camp, when I stopped leveling in PoE is when I stopped playing it. At that point I saw everything that the game had to offer and had no interest in continuing. The biggest thing that bothered me gameplay wise was the health mechanic system (apart from balance being the game design pillar).

Hahahaha

Just wondering. For me it's the instruments and the lyrics. I sometimes identify bands as metal when the band doesn't even do it. For example:

@Malcador How do you define metal?

Let's be honest here, you don't really think that they really operate outside a chain of command. 99% they still get their orders from the same people just not through official channels, plausible deniability and all that jazz.

Frieren at the Funeral? Yeah now that you said it I remember I posted it before. My memory is sometimes so random... I remember things from my childhood, but on the other hand I forget things from an hour ago.

The whole shtick of the OPM is subverting the shonen genre. I think that there will never be a match for him, it will probably go down the route of throwing more and more ridiculous opponents at him. Btw, have you ever seen the original webcomic the manga and anime are based on?

The intro for the movies was 99.9 times better...

I like the manga for what it's worth. The plot is unique enough and for now the story has not yet devolved in to a rom-com.

It's not, but it allows the environment to be drawn instead of modeled, which in my opinion looks much better.

I kind of think that the fire has burned out for those kind of games in Obs, which is fair enough. Let them do something they are passionate about.
