big part of my problem is addiction to ng+. i should finish my first Persona 3 Portable playthru in the next couple of days, then i think i'm gonna do Cold Steel 1 and 2 as ng+, then finally have a first go at 3 & 4, until the next thing that distracts me from this plan

i will not be playing this because i'm not in VR world (yet? ever?), but apparently the gimmick is that it tracks your eyeballs and brings the enemies closer to you EVERY TIME YOU BLINK

i imagine the health and safety warning at the beginning of this game is very long and involves signing a waiver on any injuries sustained that might involve not blinking for long periods of time

Finished "Guardians of the Galaxy," which was great, going well above and beyond what a game like this usually offers. Really well written, both dialogue and story, looked cool, fun and honestly affecting, too (at least to a softy like me). Only problems I had were, well, problems. Multiple times I had to restart the game after I killed every enemy on screen but the game didn't progress, and I ran into a good number of other glitches, too. Most of them were minor, which is why I'm surprised they were never ironed out. Still, minor is minor, and aside from those game-killer glitches, easy to overlook, given all the positives. Overall: B+.

Well, actually (pushes up glasses), I would never eat popcorn while playing a game, because not only might it fall between the couch cushions, it could make my controller greasy and otherwise clog up the gears. Popcorn: B-.

Use chopsticks to eat popcorn IMO.

i am not one for judging and everybody shd do their own thing but imo listening to music over the top of a game's soundtrack is reprehensible barbarity

Thought I’d cop some flack. It’s game by game for me. Yakuza fits the bill (kinda mindless fun), the last of us two is the opposite. I know what I want out of my time. A beer, some jrpg nothingness, and a truck through Jason Molina’s discography atm. Perfect cocktail for my Sunday afternoon
― hrep (H.P), Sunday, 19 February 2023 03:07 (one year ago) link
Don’t really play arcade games so have to make do with what I have. Quality of music ties into it too. Dragon quest xi got the no music treatment for a few hours till the repitition started driving me crazy. FFVII obviously is a no outside music game. Yakuza music is just…. Eh, fine enough, but I’d rather listen to something else

Just found out that in Marvel Snap, you can't gain more than 1000 boosters per day... guess how
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:27 (one year ago) link
yikes. what level are you?
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:29 (one year ago) link
2,942. Been playing since late October, and I'm only 14 cards short of finishing Series 3
Yeah the addiction is pretty bad with this game. Kinda glad I don't gamble with money in real life... If I hit the 50th Season Pass level I feel like the cost has been justified enough for me to pull the trigger on that, and I usually land around lvl 100 by the end of the month
Matchmaking is still brutal after you get into Series 3 - the see-sawing and slow climbing is really painful - but I have to admit I've at least been lucky with rare card pulls, got several Series 4 and two Series 5 cards which some people never get

everytime i play someone with ultron or wong i get incensed
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:57 (one year ago) link
Bring Cosmo for Wong. If you have turn priority, you can snap before you place doggo and usually win
Ultron's weakness is that they have to play Patriot and then a Mystique or Blue Marvel before turn 6 to make it effective, so you have a chance to Enchantress/Rogue
But unless you're running a control or Sera deck who wants to include more than one tech card? It's weird but you gotta try to predict the meta
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
teach me senpai
i'm running a destroy deck, what can i swap around: nova, angel, bucky, carnage, wolverine, venom, brood, killmonger, sabretooth, deathlok, shang-chi, death
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
I stopped doing Ultron and my optimal 4/5/6 turns are now Wong/White Tiger/DoomIf I don't get those draws, I end up with Ironheart/Odin/Blue Marvel as alternate options
Wong/Ironheart/Odin is a really funny combo if you appear to have a weak stance going into the last couple turns
― mh, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:20 (one year ago) link
do you have Wave yet? if you get her and kill 4 things before turn 5, you can drop Wave on T5, then Death + any other card on T6 (usually Aero)
Brood and Sabretooth are OK for this deck, but i feel like they are so-so options. Hood is better if you have him
I would swap Angel for Yondu, his discard ability for some reason counts of a destroy for Death. bit of a sidegrade since it can help the opponent accidentally and you were probably going to kill Angel anyway
IMO Venom is only good if you have Taskmaster or Arnim Zola to duplicate him on turn 6, or if you have a location to abuse him like Bar Sinister
Wanna go crazy high roll? Put Squirrel Girl in for more destroy targets, and Moon Girl to get that delicious double Death on turn 6, but you'd have to be able to kill at least 6 cards for that work (9 minus 6 = 3-cost). So the plan would be something like T1: Squirrel Girl, T3: Killmonger, T4: Moon Girl, and get 3 more kills before T6. Remember enemy kills count too. This strategy is hilarious with Wave because the Deaths cost zero if you can make all of this happen in order.
Death is such a great card... you can even slot her in discard decks if you have Sif/Ghost Rider, and Lockjaw/Jubilee draw decks
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:34 (one year ago) link
xp The 1/2/Ironheart/Wong/White Tiger/Odin curve combo is always ridiculous
Blue Marvel seems kinda off for an On Reveal deck but hey if it works, it works!
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:36 (one year ago) link
ok, i swapped up to try out: hood, nova, yondu, bucky, carnage, wolverine, killmonger, wave, deathlok, moon girl, Shang Chi, death. I might swap up moon girl and venom if this doesn't feel right. Let's see.

― mh, Monday, 20 February 2023 14:58 (one year ago) link
Blue Marvel is just a great overall card for buffing any generator build imo. If all your positions are going to be full, might as well give them +4

I’m playing Sunless Skies again but on the switch. Much harder since I can’t simply edit the save file to give myself a load of money (I don’t mind grinding for stats but fuck doing it for cash.) Anyway here’s how my current save is going:Things my captain has done so far this run:- die 23 times- Kill a huge floating fungal monster only to run into a rock on the way to port and sink the boat- Starve to death three times- Resort to cannibalism seven times- Resort to cannibalism and starve to death anyway twice- Try to feel up the huge sentient mushroom mascot (I don’t recommend this)I keep starving to death for stupid reasons.me: destroys a little boatalso me: ok I desperately need food and supplies, but why don’t I check out the mysterious treasure in the captain’s office?me: gets mysterious treasureme: starves to death five minutes later after eating all my crewBut yeah I’d forgotten the sheer amount of content in this one. It’s great despite my impatience constantly causing me to die!

Ah yeah, Sunless Skies is brilliant. I think there was a lot I preferred about Sunless Seas but the content became too repetitive too quickly, whereas Skies is massive, iirc.
― emil.y, Monday, 20 February 2023 18:19 (one year ago) link
Seas was pretty good post-Unterzee expansion but Skies definitely takes a lot of the common complaints about Seas - namely the fact that all those big stretches of the sea are so empty - so there’s much more to do between ports. Man I cannot wait to get a better boat& engine though.
