yeah, I got to this today. Parts of it are very good.. parts... are not. There is of course the constant casual racism. All minorities love each other and get along, except whitey. Casual hate, slurs, etc against whitey. Casual black segregation, supremacy, "we wuz kings", roots" black...

god I hate hollywood fake generic leather "medieval" armor. leather wrist wraps for no reason. there are period armors that were cool as hell. memorable as hell. Bright. colorful. they don't do this shit to Japan, and Samurai armor. https://www.hellenicarmors.gr/en/armors/ancient-greek/

https://www.gog.com/en/game/tainted_grail_the_fall_of_avalon_sanctuary_of_sarras DLC dropped the other day. I decided to bite, and buy the game and dlc when it did. Can't really review it yet. I'm not that far in. I saw a couple others talking about it. So it seems like 3 of us are...

All of the above. kenshi is practically an rts. that you can pause and give orders. or move in real time. but, you don't individually control any character. dragon age, visions of mana, mount and blade, and a bunch of games act as action games, where you can pause, and give instructions to...

Rwtp can be a godsend in some games. Turn based can hit a real problem with 10+ units. Troubleshooter:abandoned children has this problem. its especially noticeable in Xcom grid based games. wehre the A.i. spends 20 minutes moving units. Additionally, it CAN allow action/timed combat...

yeah. I don't remember any maps being all that complex and getting "lost". what I think I do remember is the "which is the correct path? go forward 50ft. oh, wait I think this is the way forward, so I better go check the other path for loot. go the other way. oh, wait. no This is the...

As that Video from itsaGundam points out... (althought he miss id's it as Jimmy neutron. but no, it was Sid from toy story.

no thats a bad analogy. its more like, woodworking, carpentry, or ironworking you used to be able to find a carpenter that could build anything. or local ironworks everywhere. But, at some point, lowes/ikea,etc, started selling premade railings, windows, furniture, etc. now, 90% of houses...

Here's my plant chronomancer if you are curious. its more of a wip. mostly ssf. except the chest. https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/13257 Theres not a TON of synergy with plants. they do just all scale with cast speed, and aoe, so, quicksand hourglass is just raw power, if not any real interesting...

yeah. there is plenty of valid issues with A.i. use in art, etc. but, the people making the most stink and noise, have no idea wtf they are talking about. one argument I make is pointing out the collapse of the ladder. Saw it in comic book industry. Inking. Inking used to be its own art...

you don't remember it, because it wasn't a thing. match 1:24 to :09 to sync. they took a masterpiece and made it gay . comments say you can turn the narration off.

People in movies and video games ramming their swords into the dirt.. hey, that ruins the edge you retard.

this is a different statement. Turn based RPGS as a whole, are not only not outdated, but are in a massive resurgence. we've had this discussion. They started to die out due to consoles, and "modern audience" thinking of the early 2000's. Diablo, morrowind, Kotor>bioware. Bioware (and...

I don't really play consoles anymore. so can't really say. I think japan is still doing turn based though? what was Metaphor : refantazio? persona? japan still doing dungeon crawls, and disgeae's too I think. NIS has got to be making turn based stuff. I played visions of mana. it was...

I think this games parry system triggers people because its designed to be antagonistic. the timing, and ques have intentional fakeouts. While something else like, Sea of starts,mario rpg, paper mario etc, have rhythm systems built in, where you are encouraged to time attacks, and parries...
