it's fine to enjoy watching garbage but it's so embarrassing that ostensible adults have to make this series, and particularly that line, out to be that good

it's Harry Potter for a different type of person

Is this the place to ask random questions about older games like Octopath Traveler that don't have an active thread anymore? Trying to kit myself out for the endgame and I thought I was ready, but the side quest boss in the Forest of Purgation is giving me serious grief, and my whole party is in the low 70s while the level recommendation for the area is 58.

I'm sure people here have played it but if you don't get a hit, I'd try the RPG thread or the Final Fantasy thread

I feel like a lot of math courses would be made more interesting and effective at teaching the concepts if they actually demonstrated how they were utilized to some real effect

like a lot of concepts make more sense as tools than some fundamental concept in a vacuum

in the United States, the Common Core curriculum that was adopted in most states in the past decade (and in the ones that didn't, their standards are basically the same thing), a lot of the emphasis in the math standards is the idea of number sense and learning the mechanics behind why certain concepts work instead of just learning the algorithms that get results

for instance, you do a lot of teaching different ways to think about adding and subtracting two-digit numbers rather than just learning how to stack them and do the tried-and-true algorithm most people who post here probably learned in second grade

there has never been a good monster hunter demo. i tried one on the psp a decade ago and thought it was the shittiest game i'd ever played before i just jumped in on monster hunter world and it turned out the opposite was true

i just bought a pro controller for monster hunter rise

How do I get into beat-em-ups

I used to enjoy messing around with like the old TMNT and Streets of Rage games when I was a kid but I was always awful at them. Streets of Rage 4 looks really good but the last time I played a beat-em-up I felt like I didn't really "get" how they're supposed to work. They feel very stiff to me and I have a hard time avoiding damage so I just kinda get owned.

Is there a One Weird Trick?

I think you have to play them until you find the one that works for you and play it enough until you understand the "language" they're trying to teach you, like how Bloodborne is what unlocks post-Demon's Souls FromSoft games for people

SoR4 is on Gamepass now I think, right? I will just jump right in

it's really the best way. SoR4 is very, very good. the Scott Pilgrim game recently was rereleased too, which is what got me into enjoying these kinds of games, although it seemed a little buggy

we can tell you certain things to look for like how good dash attacks and jump attacks are as openers but I think you just have to play until you get it

Don't feel dumb for not doing risky and irrational things, especially with money

something i thought about last night is that i wish there was a predictit (a website for betting on political outcomes such as whether Andrew Cuomo will resign by the end of the year, etc) for video games. i feel like i'd kill on markets regarding whether nintendo will debut a switch revision this year, or what quarter of what year elden ring will be released

the cuomo thing is insane. we're at the point where every time there's a new accusation i have to check to see whether it's one i already heard about yesterday because i can't keep them all straight. and he's like "history will absolve me"

well we gave him fuckin cart blanche when we let him write a memoir about how good a job he did handling covid like, three or four months into the pandemic, and gave him a fuckin emmy

Cuomo seems to have learned the Trump lesson that if there's no way to force you to go away you don't have to because eventually your enemies will get sick of waiting for you to take yourself down

I'd like to think this means he won't be re-elected but NY has a strong enough dem machine that being a serial sexual harasser and also killing a few thousand seniors might not be enough to break it

it's a post-Trump/Biden world... politicians have learned you don't have to worry about sexual assault allegations as long as your base is still there for you

yeah. old white ladies really liked his press conferences because they had nothing else to comfort them, and now they're deep in the tank for him. i was just reading an article the other day about a woman who said she spend several hours a day posting on twitter in his defense and believes these allegations come from donald trump

Co-op rpg shooter set in a dark universe.

Basically Gears of Planet?

its strength is that its essentially a B-game in the same way B-movies relate to mainstream movies. it's completely unserious in its approach to what you'd think would be serious, and when you hear that it's a cover shooter where you get random-attributes weapons and have an attack ability, a melee ability, a support ability, and an ultimate ability, it plays exactly the way you think it does. someone's gonna want to play it, but I don't think the general public will appreciate it

It's wild that they still do this. The most successful GaaS surprise drop all their updates, or at least wait until it's close before announcing it. What's the point in setting yourself up to fail and highlighting how much content the £50 game is missing at launch?

the difference is that fortnite is successful so they don't need to constantly build engagement. the floundering GaaSs have to do this thing where they give the people who are still playing or thinking about buying the game a reason to continue caring

I'm getting the idea that it collapsed after that and this is Sony picking up the pieces, which I think is good, provided all the dumbasses are gone. I don't think it'd be a profitable buy if that wasn't the deal

whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. don't oversell it. there isn't better police AI, they just don't spawn directly behind you anymore

instead they spawn a police drone directly behind you that just moves towards you, and then 10 feet further behind you are the police
