  • I played the demo of smt5 (which is how I know you’re referring to shin megami tensai (sp?) in case anyone else wants to experience it) and it was a really fun game, definitely faster to pick up the gameplay, and it reminded me, in many good ways, of dragon warrior monsters and Digimon, but at the end of the demo I was hesitant to pull the trigger because there are so many other games that deserve some play time.

    I’ll definitely go back to it when it’s on sale, and I’m going to give p5 a, maybe not fair, shake.


  • Path of exile 2 is free this weekend, and has a new season starting in a few hours, I’m trying to get my friends together to jump in.

    It’s not very in the spirit of this sub though, but it did take a lot of patience to get here.

    I’m still kicking around the idea of getting no man’s sky, but it hasn’t dropped enough yet.

    Persona 5 was in the humble bundle, I’ve yet to get into a persona game (tried 3 and 4) to the point of “gameplay” there’s so much story than just doesn’t connect with me before the gameplay starts. Makes me miss Pokemon Red/blue.









  • My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

    Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

    The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,


  • I’m closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing “college blanket”, which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I’d be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it’s the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it’s stitched way too tightly, and doesn’t breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket’s ever was), she got me a “cooling” comforter, it’s decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it’s college blanket.

    Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it’s been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she’s sick. Apparently it’s really scratchy, and holey, and it’s closely missing about 20% of it’s original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we’ve looked for the better part of a decade now, and it’s been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I’m not highly sentimental, but you don’t let a good blanket go.



  • I mean…

    I haven’t read anything about a console “beating” my deck, I’ve not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

    I’m not upset if something sells more than the deck, it’s a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

    I don’t think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is ‘deck’.

    Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I’d recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)



  • Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn’t really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

    You’re right that the editors don’t get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that’s more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)
