The only anime-related thing I've been into lately is reading Komi-san, but that's all about high school.

I mean I don't remember about Gunstar Heroes but it's pretty easy to just time the dice parry to get the roll that you want and just tank the actual fight with King Dice.

I also really didn't care for Mae, she was a pretty bad influence on everyone around her in the story. I enjoyed the game, though I basically grew up in possum springs so ymmv

The worst part about gone home is realizing that the daughter's actions are most likely going to end the parent's marriage when they had almost gotten things back on track.

I disagree with oxx's interpretation but that's mostly because I thought the game was more interesting as a character piece and the twist takes away from that imo. I still liked the game though.

I got a metric fuckload of games during Steam/PSN sales and I'm looking at my library going 'I got nothing to play'.

I remember accidentally picking that dialogue option because it's just like "how long have you known" or something like that and I didn't even realize the character was trans so I had no idea what I was asking about
Laugh yeah join the club, I thought they were just a dude with a higher voice until the game stopped to tell me and I felt dumb.
I also didn't realize that captain Kidd was a girl until she was pregnant in black flag, so maybe I'm just genderblind in games

Idiots with crypto currencies still make it next to impossible to get decent graphic cards. I just wanna upgrade from my 970 without paying obsence mark up :sigh: and because of mining you pretty much can’t trust any used card sales now either

The total number of bitcoins, as mentioned earlier, has an asymptote at 21 million, due to a technical limitation in the data structure of the blockchain - specifically the integer storage type of the transaction output, this exact value would have been 20,999,999.9769 bitcoin. Should this technical limitation be adjusted by changing the width of the field, the total number will still only approach or be a maximum of 21 million.

We're at 18-19 million right now IIRC, so bitcoin mining is going to end soon, thankfully.

So I finished GTAV today, and I wanted to talk about it for a bit.

It's bad. The story is overwrought and tired, almost none of the jokes land, and Trevor is insufferable.The world they built is huge and fascinating, and Franklin and Lamar are great, but everything else is just so bad. The bit with Michael and his family reuniting is completely unearned and who could possibly care; the constant arguing between Michael and Trevor is terrible and dumb. The choice they give you at the end isn't even a choice, because the two characters that present you the options are wretched dickheads and you want them dead anyway.

I have very heavy doubts about RDR2 being any good now, if this is what their flagship looked like.

i don't think condemned is super scary but it definitely has an infinitely better grasp on subtlety than F.E.A.R, a game that would just straight-up be better if it ditched even having a plot. sucks cause i love the shooting in f.e.a.r but literally any time where the game slows you down or starts screwing with your vision to spook you is really dull

FEAR gets worse when you realize that little girl alma is actually your bro and just likes to spook you and older alma is the dangerous one so the jump scares basically stop working.
