I spent the evening hunting mons. Had to go back to low rank to work on some weapons, and I felt a little guilty at how I just annihilate everything down there now.

I spent today watching streams while drawing. Another eventful Valentine's Day that totally didn't solidify my status as a lonely goon. I drew this pic for my brother's birthday though since I don't have any money to spend on actual gifts. He likes pokemon so whatever, I'm sure he'll be fine with it. He knows I'm poor anyways.  8-Bit Scholar posted:Iconocloasts or Owlboy? Hollow Knight Ciaphas posted:tbh i didn't know it was valentine's day until you posted I knew it was Valentine's day because when you work in retail you have to keep stocking the seasonal merchandise. Which reminds me, I once found a box of condoms in the back of the candy section. I'm certain someone put that there on purpose.

Really Pants posted:Skies of Arcadia's gameplay always just looked kind of messy to me, but the setting was great and we should have a lot more games about air pirates in general. Giving you spells and abilities that affect specific parts of the battlefield and not letting you have any control over positioning is such a weird idea. If SoA does ever get any kind of remake (it won't) then I'd hope for a system more like something from Trails in the Sky. But the discovery mechanic is so so good. Let me dig up weird and magical secrets across the world all day long

for me diablos is the monster that most suddenly shifted from "oh my god this is impossible" to "heh more like predictablos  ". it took a long time across multiple games but i suddenly went from fearing them to smushing them without even noticing it happeningso take heart CharlieFoxtrot

Ciaphas posted:for me diablos is the monster that most suddenly shifted from "oh my god this is impossible" to "heh more like predictablos It rules when monsters get to be like that for you, going from "It never stops attacking what am I supposed to do" to just trying to see how fast you can take it out because you recognize all their openings. I'm at the elder dragon fights and they're really the only things I feel at risk of losing to. Everything else is only a threat due to me getting too cocky. I need to find better ways to deal with flying enemies though, just so they don't take so long.

hmm maybe I could install witcher 3? try to get more than ten hours into that again but that feels less like a good game and more like a kinda-bad game wrapped in an enthralling fantasy universe, and i'm less patient with those nowadays

re; p5 social links, now that I think about it, it actually makes sense somewhat that you have no social links other than Mishima among the student NPCs, as there's all those rumors around you.precision posted:you really don't tho How else am I supposed to achieve 100% completion in my persona log?!

I tried using those since the free items are supposed to help you but every time I tried to use them while Diablos was tunneling I did nothing, got stun locked by his surfacing attack, then died Edit I have spent three hours on this one fight now, I accidentally overrode my layout which is probably a sign my head is not in the game. Most of my deaths come from panicking and not being able to use items because I keep telling myself to use the shortcuts but I don't remember any of them in the middle of Battle so I use the scroll wheel and die CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Feb 15, 2018 |

Honestly while I generally like it my biggest problem with MonHun is how long everything takes, when I can slap something around for 30 minutes then still die and fail the mission I just feel like I'm wasting my time, more so than spending an hour on a Souls boss but getting like 12 attempts in that time, even though there's no difference really.

Cuntellectual posted:Unless you mean how there just AREN'T any minorities really in which case, well, that's kinda Japan. The fact that there's a recurring (though nameless) black NPC that isn't around to make jokes about watermelon or fried chicken is about as good as can be expected also have you gotten to the gay dudes in shinjuku who are based on actual 1990s gay comedians who were gay rights activists, and the game depicts them as into sexually assaulting teenage boys, and plays that for laughs, because that's a funny thing to do with caricatures of rl gay dudes Endorph fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Feb 15, 2018 |

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I tried using those since the free items are supposed to help you but every time I tried to use them while Diablos was tunneling I did nothing, got stun locked by his surfacing attack, then died Try doing the fight without trying to use items besides potions. My mindset on them is that they are there to provide more opportunity when you know what you're doing, not to be critical to success. That will help get you in the mindset of evading attacks and looking for tells first rather than looking for opportunities to do damage. Just spend time evading and watching rather than trying to attack from the start, which will also tire it out a bit. You'll also get a better feel for using the superman dive to dodge big attacks like his tunneling because boy howdy is it absolutely necessary when you get to the elder dragons who all have one hit down attacks. Diablos has huge windows where it's open or doing a tail swing, but because he dashes so far you might not catch up with him in time to take advantage if you don't run off to the side but in the same direction as his dashes. You still may get hit with an unlucky stun and followup, but that's how it goes. Also yeah, kirin is just an rear end in a top hat and annoying to fight.

like im not expecting persona 5 to be some woke masterpiece but the game is constantly posturing about how its about neglected teens taking the fight to lovely adults and then the cast are 1) a middle class japanese kid whose punishment for assaulting a politician is living in a cool flat and getting free coffee, and who gets weird rumors about him but is never actually bullied or threatened in any way due to these things. 2) a kid with a lovely home life who got kicked off the track team due to a bum leg and a lovely coach, but the story doesnt really dedicate much time to these things because ryuji has to be made fun of at every opportunity 3) ann is a half-white model who presumably makes good money off her work and is also gorgeous enough to be a model, and while she's creeped on by the first villain she has a friend who was literally assaulted that the game hastily shoves off screen so hard that she might as well have said 'i have to go now. my planet needs me.' also the racial issues inherent to her character are a throwaway line because her s. link is about 8 different things. 4) yusuke is actually in kind of a lovely situation also but bizarrely the game plays his abject poverty and desperation for, uh... laughs? and some of the jokes are funny but he's hanging out with a model, a rich girl, and a bunch of other kids who are decently well-off, you'd think one of them could toss him a few bucks instead of him saying hes starving and everyone going 'oh that yusuke.' 5) futaba actually has serious issues that the game treats halfway decently. grats to futaba. 6) makoto is a cop 7) haru is insanely rich and got rich off her dad being a literal embodiment of everything wrong with capitalism, and then everyone goes 'boy it sure sucks your dad died,' which yeah sure its a complex situation but are none of us going to talk about how shes insanely rich and like, what she should do with that money in order to help other people. no? we're just gonna beat up shinzo abe? okay i guess 8) morgana is a cat like im not saying they should have been the burger king kids club but like, the cast of persona 4 were dealing with more legitimate social ails than most of these kids just because they all lived in a kind of broke town. come on. at least dont put a rich kid and a cop into your game about how the systems that society is built on are unjust.

first act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like teachers sexually abusing kids this game is badass second act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like a weird tengu man murdering a woman in order to profit off her art...? third act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like wondering if this said yakuza or mafia in japanese, also it kind of brushes up against teenage prostitution but only in the loosest terms and the guy who wanted to kidnap and sell teenage girls into prostitution is also a wacky bug man who starts freestyle rapping when you fight him because this game understands tone fourth act of persona 5: i mean futaba's issues are decently written even if the way it ties into the main plot kind of kills the 'social issues' angle fifth act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like capitalism (note: killing the slave driver who's gotten his employees killed was bad, actually) sixth act of persona 5: woah a game about legitimate social issues like LOKI seventh act of persona 5: i get the metaphor with the god guy but also what ending of persona 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtbkYCLFxYU
