Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

is it also connected to the "I'm going to be a pop idol" clip as well? I'm going to miss the stream intentionally just to catch these clips later.

edit: jk. I want to watch the stream but it's never on at times that I can catch it.

Apparently I have HBO Max, and apparently they have a bunch of Ghibli movies. I'm not sure if I've ever watched Kiki's Delivery Service subbed before? That seems crazy to me, but wow is Jiji's voice absolutely nothing like Phil Hartman's and I feel like I would be less surprised about that if I'd seen it this way previously

kurayami dance might be one of my favorite manga. a couple chapters into volume 2 and it hasn't missed a goddamn beat, one of the funniest and most emotionally resonant things suda's ever written and shuji takeya's art is incredible and does wonders to convey its characters and world

So I’ve managed to track down a complete set of subs for the Japanese version of Samurai Pizza Cats. I don’t think I ever bothered with it as a kid but out of curiosity, is it worth watching?

Both versions are on Crunchyroll. As far as I know the original is a pretty straightforward kids show, the very fun English dub is why anyone remembers it at all

yeah it's hard to schedule a stream that works for everyone, timezones are bad. the clips run 24/7 though so feel free, I try to clip new stuff from time to time, when something makes me laugh

and yeah same show, amachan has a wide cast of loveable weirdos

i also finished kurayami dance and that has a wild ending too but it's a more immediately interesting one i think. 25th ward's ending was a fun ride but i'm never going to go through it again if i ever replay lol

the gameplay is uhh... well i'm glad i got it for 13 bucks. the writing is fun though. and it's surreal seeing a disco elysium t-shirt in a no more heroes game

It's a bad game..by which I mean the game part is really bad, but the stuff surrounding it is better

I mean I guess I paid Grasshopper 50 AUD to get confirmation that NMH3 was happening and I did have some fun with it so whatever

you can see where every aspect of its game design is coming from. the ability system is kinda fun and plenty of the attacks feel pretty weighty, it's just. so slow. it's weird cause i don't think making it more fun to play would take... that much effort? just needs lots of tweaking

Travis Strikes again because it kind of IS a No More Heroes game. Like, the combat in NMH isn't that good.

But it's just missing something that made me stick through 1 and 2.

There's some stuff I like, though. Like Jeanne the cat acting like Jeanne the human was very :tinfoil:

I'm seriously worried NMH3 is going to turn out to not actually involve Suda much or be like Saint's Row 3/4 where it gets too up it's own rear end. TSA was pretty close to that second one.

Travis Strikes Again was marketed as Suda's big return to directing games and it's literally just an ad for NMH3, so it'd be weird of Suda jist went away again for it.

no more heroes 2's gameplay is fine

travis strikes again is kinda self-indulgent i guess, but like. idk i can't blame the guy for getting a little self-indulgent with a game he directed personally for the first time in years cause he remembered that making games can still actually be fun, after having to work on a game that absolutely crushed his creative spirit into dust. plus like the only reason he even made it was cause he got reminded about his older work and realized he wanted to make stuff like that again so i guess it's kinda natural that he'd stuff in characters from and references to his real old games

No More Heroes 2 is a better gameplay experience in a vacuum, but there's a little intangible something lost in the process. I'm not even saying that makes it worse, it's just...different.

i think nmh2 is good if you just don't really expect it to hit on the same notes as a game written by suda. it's wonky and unfinished but i think the same team could make something really good if they had a bit more confidence in their own ideas

anyway two levels in i think travis strikes again's big problem is that there's a lot less to get invested in about the writing if you haven't played literally every game suda's written since silver case, and the levels need to be like half as long as they are cause i'll spend like a half hour enjoying whatever gimmicks they throw at me and then the next half just kinda mindlessly mashing through to the end. i don't think the combat is... bad, but. it can't sustain the length the game wants at all really

SMT 4 is a fun game but your not missing out on to much if you haven’t played it.

Edit: though it does have some amazing music.

That is my fave 3DS game and it will make you feel so cash-money to finish it.

But still: Go forward with what you had preemptively planned and you enjoy that proper. :woop:

Somehow found myself reading May I Please Ask You Just One Last Thing?

It's a fantasy shoujo romance, except the female lead is a bloodthirsty brawler. I can point to its finer points:

- people getting punched in the face
- it's not an isekai
- people getting punched in the face
- plenty of sparkling bishies
- people getting punched in the face
- political intrigue
- people getting punched in the face

Spring thread just reminded me I never beat Devil Survivor 2 as well, though I dont exactly have the same desire to play it as I do SMT4. Characters and story felt a lot more flat than DS1.

In DS1 you take down a powerful demon by desperately hoping a phone attachment that looks like it's weakness will work somewhat. In DS2 a good portion of the threats are dealt with by unleashing various super weapons hidden by the people you are working for. It turns out a story built on the stuff like the former is much more interesting then one based on the later.

DeSu 2 has better gameplay but 1 has a better story.

They've both got generally good characters, imo.
