ever since yall posted about cs2 i hopped right back into csgo after a few years off. i just started playing shooting games again in 2020 and it annoys the gently caress out of me that everything is hero based. like i thought id really like rainbow 6 siege when i heard about it but it felt loving awful to play so im giggling that im back playing a dinosaur of a game.

anyways csgo is good+tight and im bad but its really nice to play a "simple" game

i just read durability is back tho :/

but it never bothered me - i just used the master sword and it never broke ever

never did finish tho - was right near the end on the wii u

durability is back but it appears the new fuse system allows you to extend the durability for items. also durability was in fact a good mechanic and people who didn't like it are wrong

separating and re-fusing items probably doesn't reset durability so people will still complain. i just wacked things with whatever. what i'm really hoping for is more enemy types. i got a little tired of the goblins and ninjas.

Who's like us?
drat few!
And they're all dead!

It is mainly confusing because it works better as a call and response between two people the way it's worded in the game.

It would flow better as a single toast giver worded something like:

Here's to us! There's drat few like us, and they're all dead!

because we’re the last ones left. we may or may not have been responsible for their passing, but the implication is clear: your mother is a whore

scarlet and violet both have Pikachu and are really good, otherwise let’s go pikachu is a remake of Pokémon yellow

thanks! is there a strong reason to prefer scarlet/violet over let's go pikachu or vice versa? qol stuff, not being obtuse, etc are all good things - who the starter pokémon is probably doesn't matter that much so long as he can pick one that is either cute or cool

frankly SV ruined the previous games for me because being able to see Pokémon in the world and catch them all without stepping on yet another loving goddamn bat or ratatta is worth it’s weight in gold and also is a good intro to 3D open world games in general

she was definitely aeris in the original english localization. i guess they decided to standardize it as aerith at some point :shrug:

close, but, ok so there were some people over in America who thought her name was spelled differently

but I think you got it a bit wrong, it was
