I keep trying to remember the name of this ethnic group of white, in Europe, that everyone in Europe hated

Unfortunately googling "ethnic groups Europeans hated" is, you know, a lot of unfortunate results

edit: just to be clear it wasn't Jewish people or any major group you'd remember, just some villages in like northeastern france or something, it came up in some studies on how bonkers racism is

I remember what you're talking about, said group was basically an Untouchables kind of situation

I'll have to watch the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie in tribute tonight

Also one of my aunts is in the hospital for something cancer related so yeah that's a two for one punch by this new year

Am I going to purchase Slay The Spire while it’s on sale on Steam even though I already have it for the Switch just to access the new character and updates a few months earlier?

These are the questions that define our times.

Well how much is it on sale for, cause if it's under 10 bucks I'd say just go for it

I'm more weirded out by Cuphead being a Mii Fighter costume instead of a full character considering how much work they put into it

Hopefully they'll have some more interesting choices for the next set of characters though

I don't get what they're so salty about. We don't have Alm, Sigurd, Leif, or Eliwood yet.

I imagine it comes down to Fire Emblem honestly being over represented in the game, I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure it has the most characters of any franchise in the game(since for some weird reason Smash counts Yoshi, Wario, and the Donkey Kong characters as all being separate from the Mario franchise), so a lot of people feel that a large chunk of the slots that Fire Emblem characters occupy could have been given to more interesting characters from other franchises(especially for characters that are stuck as either Assist Trophies or Mii Fighter costumes), especially when it comes to characters one has to pay for

Though I do agree that a lot of people are going a bit too hard in complaining about it

Watched The Irishman today, it was really good overall, though I do agree that it probably was just a touch too long, I probably would have chopped off the last half hour or so, basically everything from Frank going to jail onwards, it just overall felt unnecessary and kinda made it end on an unsatisfying note

By some mysterious, black magic means, my NES Classic now has essentially every American NES game on it (well over 800 games). Today I spent like 5 or so minutes each on games I played as a very young child (Chip and Dale, Addams Family, Ducktales 2), then worked my way through trying all the famous Angry Nintendo Nerd games like Ghostbusters and Dr Jeckyl and the game from the video where he shits on Bugs Bunny. Then I spent three hours straight playing Pinball. I love video games I love Nintendo

While you can't fit every single game onto the SNES Classic(without modifying it that is), you can definitely fit a very impressive amount of them onto one

I get the impression Valve is really poorly run these days but are also too big to fail. They got in at the right time and with the right product in stream that they strangled all the competition in the crib and as long as they can keep the lights on they will print money.

The Steam side of things is overall fine, it's their game development side that is a complete mess

I was debating on cancelling my VRV sub since I'd pretty much petered out on Legend of Galactic Heroes(neat show but way too drat long, might collect the Blu Rays) and stumbled onto World Doctors. Its one of those Adult Swim type shows that starts all Dada, gains sentience, expresses weird feelings and then dies leaving a boring trail of narratives.

It's not as good as it used to be(since they lost Shudder*) but overall I still find VRV to be worth keeping subscribed to

*which is really obnoxious cause Shudder still doesn't have a PS4 app

So IDW had the Back To The Future license for a while and did some comics based on it, including one called Biff To The Future that explores the timeline where Biff got the sports almanac and how he became rich and powerful using it, and let me just say it's both a really funny comic and also a incredibly dark and brutal book

All ancient folk heroes are dicks. My favorite is Beowulf. He kills like two whole monsters (one of whom he didn't respect enough to learn her name due to being a woman) and this entitles him to be Mayor of Christianity for like 30 years, until he finally has a midlife crisis and decides that serving the Christgod isn't very Geatish of him and then dies on his shield fighting a monster he had no business fighting even 30 years ago. If he'd come along a millennia and some change later he'd be in the Rare Pepe trade on 4chan but instead he was born in like 900AD Sweden so he is a great king of the age of the Epics.

That's not really all that accurate at all

So in a piece of extremely bad news, my laptop's charger has died, and there's a bit of a problem, while I have enough credit on Amazon to get a replacement there, due to the current COVID situation apparently it's impossible for them to ship anything of that sort sooner than the end of April, and while I could get one sooner probably from another store, there's a complication there, I'm flat broke right now and don't get paid until the 1st, that's a full week, I am dead certain my sanity will not be able to survive that long without my laptop

So I might need a huge favor from someone here who is in a more financially stable situation, to buy me a new charger for my laptop(a quick glance on Wal-Mart's site indicates there's some cheap ones for my model of laptop that should still be able to do 2 day shipping), I'd definitely be able to repay you once I get money again in a week, and of course you'd also have my eternal gratitude

still sorting out things on getting a new charger for my laptop, will probably be able to borrow another laptop we have here tomorrow, though for right now I actually hooked back up my old ancient COMPAQ Windows XP desktop to experiment a little, and it's incredibly suboptimal(for one thing I don't have Admin control on here) but a pleasant surprise nonetheless at how well it's technically working for a computer that's probably somewhere between 14 and 16 years old(even if it did get a slight upgrad back around 2010)

Not much of that on Hulu or Netflix, you'll want a VRV subscription so you can have access to the Crunchyroll and Hidive libraries

I love me some Ultraman but outside of the random Beat Takeshi episodes, the Nexus series was its high point. The Mega Galaxy stuff is pretty good too(they did a couple of short movies featuring Zero and His Posse that were pretty fun).

Maybe they’ll bother localizing the entire Orb arc because the Gai/Juggler frenemyship is a thing of beauty.

Adjacent to Ultraman, Kamen Rider Amazons is legit subbed out there. And I think I saw some Garo on VRV

The original Kamen Rider from 1971 recently got an official release too, available on both VRV and Tubi TV, the latter also has every Super Sentai series from 1991's Jetman through 2002's Hurricaneger

I've been using the lockdown to catch up on my ages-old quest to play through all the Final Fantasy games. Back in the day I had skipped VIII and had gone all this time without ever touching it, and now, twenty years later, I have finally played and completed Final Fantasy VIII.

Final Fantasy VIII is loving trash.

On the topic of Final Fantasy, if it were up to me I'd strip the two MMO's of their number designations and retroactively have Crystal Chronicles and Type-0 take up the XI and XIV slots respectively

Nothing against the MMO's mind you, I just feel that having them be considered part of the main numbered series to have always been a mistake
