It's funny that Dio is the most famous JoJo villain even though Kira in Part 4 has about four times more screentime, a way cooler and more interesting power, and is just all around far more charismatic and entertaining.

Dio has screentime in half of the original 6 parts and has a lot more of an effect on more characters.

I wonder how much marketing power the pack in astrobot game is going to have with consumers. Will they see it as a value add to have a 5-6 hour kids game preloaded on the console when deciding or will it be overlooked as a dumb demo.

Hurricane Laura hosed up the gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana a bit back and some of the weather thread goons wanted to start a donation drive for it. Some other poo poo got in the way, but better late than never.

Here are some of the resources I've been able to dig up. If anyone has others that they think are great tell me and I'll edit them in.

They aren't in that area (mostly) but are national level things that are involved and specialized in this:

https://www.allhandsandhearts.org - All Heands and Hearts. They were founded in the wake of the Indian Ocean tsunami and specialize in supporting communities both immediately after a disaster and the longer term rebuilding. Everything I've found online seems to indicate they're legit as hell, but do your own due diligence.

https://www.directrelief.org - Direct Relief. Was involved big time in Harvey, so it's in the area, and they're getting in on this one. Another well vetted one but again, do your own digging (I'm going to skip this disclaimer for future ones)

https://familypromise.org - Specializes in supporting homeless and low-income families hit by these disasters. Also involved in the Laura afflicted gulf region.

https://www.houstonfoodbank.org - Houston Food Bank. They're getting pallets of food ready to go to support people in the hurricane areas.

As an added bonus, if you post proof of a donation in this thread I'll hook you up with this cool gangtag that an awesome goon in the weather thread made:

Captain Hygiene posted:

Make sure to scrub any PII off of the proof of donation. Could you fake it to get one without paying anything to a worthy cause? Well, yeah, but you'd be a lovely person and I'm gong to assume no one wants a little picture under their av bad enough to literally scam charity.

One final note: if you already have 3 or more gangtags please prioritize and tell me which ones you want to keep, up to 3 normal sized ones. The one we're giving out in this thread is a "normal" sized gang tag. We're just trying to cut down on the clutter of people having a dozen of the things on them.

It’s just not fun to deal with floating explosive enemies and floating shooting enemies and teleporting enemies that can hit for half my health while I’m trying to juggle ammo and psychic poo poo which includes the ability to dodge. Ugh, maybe I’ll just turn on the assist mode

Dio is literally the villain of Part 1 AND Part 3.

Plus he has a better back story than Kira's built up over the course of those 2 series.
(Kira still rules, but his motivation of "Leave me alone" pales in comparison to "I want to end the Joestar bloodline and murder everybody")

I really enjoyed Dio in part 1 but I agree he's a bit flat in part 3. He doesn't actually do anything or express any motivation other than being menacing from afar and indirectly putting a Joestar's life in danger.

The actual battle was really fantastic but the idea that every other villain was so terrified of his supreme power of pausing time for literal seconds was amusing.

Dio appears in or casts his shadow across every story in the series except part 2. Kira is a charismatic and interesting villain in one part. Dio is a constant narrative force throughout the series.

PS5 is gonna be 495 or some poo poo.

great value etc...

afaik they have no interest in putting jedi fallen order in the basic tier (which is what the console sub covers) so the value is basically 'have you still not played titanfall 2 yet??' and 'do you like.... anthem....'

I feel like saying he has a presence in Part 5 is pretty misleading (and Giornio being his son basically not mattering at all being yet another aspect of that arc I don't like). And even in his most famous Part he basically does nothing until the very end and then his fight is over really quickly.

Dio + Jotaro kept being shoehorned into all the other series past Stardust Crusaders, and it always felt super forced. Even in Part 4 where it 'kinda' made sense.

Giorno's whole personality and motives and actions are a combination of both of his fathers and Part 5 is a retelling of Part 3 but inverted, subverted, everted, or otherwise obverted.

Jotaro isn't shoehorned in though, he takes on the role many other characters in the series take on of being a character from the previous part who plays a major protagonist role in one part but becomes a minor protagonist or otherwise supporting character in the latter. In a series so tied to the idea of family lineage and fate, it's hardly shoehorning to have a character from another part show up in a later part.

He couldn't even get a pic of his son because the spiritual power of a random murderer kept showing up instead and preventing any useful photos from getting taken.

His stand can divine the location of stuff but not necessarily give an exact enough location to let them home in on it, especially if whatever he's looking for has a strong enough spiritual defense so as to not want to be found.
