Post your endgame HHM Marcus' stats. Also, Jagen is definitely a true Jagen in FE3 book 1 too, he was literally my first ever death. Titania is also a true Jagen in FE9 Maniac mode.

>>729705596
Awakening is an odd case because it's nearly impossible to 'fall off' in that game when you can always just be a permanent backpack, like my Freddy ended up in my Lunatic run, but he definitely doesn't keep up with the other juggernauts.

The widescale fellation of E33 is, I must confess, a laughable phenomenon to observe.

An "indie" game made on a $10 million budget, with a star-studded voice cast and the backing of wealthy investors, while making use of Unreal Engine stock assets - and all propped up by an emotionally manipulative storyline that anyone who's read a book or two beyond the shallow end of contemporary fiction will recognize is trite and mawkish - sweeping every award in 2025 is perfectly fitting.

Mechanically, the game completes the illusion. It is a JRPG designed for normies who hate (or rather, are embarrassed to be associated with) JRPGs and are far more interested in an "accessible and immersive" experience. The result is a combat loop that flatters the player’s sense of participation while asking almost nothing of them beyond rhythmic compliance: press the button, watch the spectacle. It's Pavlovian.

The narrative is less a story than a checklist of affective cues, engineered to provoke recognition rather than reflection. It's all handled with the kind of solemn obviousness that mistakes earnestness for depth. It insists upon emotion as a substitute for thought.

That this design philosophy is rewarded so thoroughly speaks less to the game’s individual failings than to the current critical ecosystem surrounding games. Awards culture increasingly favours works that resemble prestige television. E33's critical success rests almost entirely on an aggressively curated emotional register. Of course, to question the shallowness of such experiences is to risk being framed as elitist, even as the industry openly celebrates projects engineered to offend no one and challenge nothing.

Don't mistake my point. E33 is not a catastrophe. It is worse than that: it is exemplary. It represents the logical endpoint of a medium desperate for cultural legitimacy, chasing validation by mimicking the least demanding forms of "serious" art while hollowing out what once made its genres distinct.

No it doesnt. Comparatively speaking,every region in earth get the same amount of sunlight. At the equator every day of the year has 12 hours of sunlight and 12 of dark, whereas at temperate latitudes you'll have on average 8 hours of sunlight and 16 of dark in winter, and 16 hours of daylight and 8 of dark in the summer. What changes is the physical proximity to the sun and inclinaton of earth's axis of rotation, and thus the exposure to UV radiation. That is the reason why melanin exists, to protect from potentially carcinogenic radiations.

VCS was weird. Played the PS2 version for the first time a while back and enjoyed it to an extent.
Feels like half the story got completely canned, and Marintez just being thrown in at the end was kinda shitty.
Vic is also weird. He's so weak for a GTA protagonist and the shaving down of the story means the things he's supposed to give a shit about ends up not really meaning anything.
Some of the missions were fucking stupid though, Holy shit. I remember dropping the game on PSP with the really early on forklift mission bit some of the later ones feel a little bit too hard and clunky to work on PSP. Especially since the aiming is closer to SA but without the cycling through targets.
Missions were definitely more varied than VC but it felt overall like a more "look what ww were able to achieve on the psp".
Saying that, it's still a GTA and the attention to detail is incredible. VRock in this being based on one random caller in VC, lots of foreshadowing and links to the main game. It's very fanservicey in the derails.
Phil Collins (Phil Collins) the best character in the game. Dickhead Lance carries rhe game for just how much one kid can fuck up.
Thanks for reading my blog post.

We're back to knock another shitty Twitter thread off the board, it's time to play "4.6 Billion Year Story: The Theory of Evolution".

Previous thread: >>729623224

>What is this game?
The original JRPG predecessor of E.V.O. Search For Eden for the SNES, released on the PC-98, developed by Almanic and published by the JRPG gods themselves Enix. The game follows the perspective of a mortal creature chosen by Gaia, (You), to shepherd Earth through the entirety of its evolutionary history over the course of billions of years. You must save innocent wildlife from danger and clear obstacles to the world's continued evolution, while at the same time thwarting the machinations of a sadistic alien ojou-sama from outer space.

>can I play it too?
Just look up the ROM on MyAbandonware, then download the patch (along with the translated manual full of lore) here: https://46okumen.com/projects/e-v-o-the-theory-of-evolution/


We're not wasting any time tonight, it's time for another training arc. We're locked out of a part of the map because the lizard men there are too strong. In order to hunt monsters that are one step higher than us on the evo ladder, we need to take advantage of our new stat cap and raise everything to max.

She's faking a British accent in a world without Britain and NO ONE ELSE SPEAKS THAT WAY! Her father speaks normally. Every other character in the game speaks with no accent. Sometimes all it takes is a single bad voice actor to ruin a game's audio track. In BotW/TotK, it was Zelda. In Xenoblade it was everyone in all three games. In Ghost of Yotei it was the main character Atsu.

2's level design was reduced to hallways where 1 had more mazelike design for a lot of worlds and better platforming elements. the combat in 2 is definitely smoother with a lot of QOL features to make it feel better but the combat in 1 is more thoughtful and deliberate. while 2 is a great game, it is a shame that they went down the path of making the series more smooth and streamlined as it eventually became the downfall of the series.

It runs a lot of games at good framerates compared to pc if you get it cheap. Also has programs like retroarch so you can play almost anything if you invest the time. Just scour ebay for cheap ones since they're over $600 new for some gay ass chink reason.
>>
>>729714391
I had about 3 or 4 saved on ebay for under $170, but could never pull the trigger. I really like the fidelity for 1080p gamers because I don't care about anything above that, but Microsoft is so tiresome and PC always seems like a more sustainable option. Then again, One X has a disk drive and has backwards compatibility. I will probably get one now that there will be a ton used after Christmas.

It's an open-world game, so there aren't many lock-in fights outside of bosses. There are a bunch of side quests that expand upon the lore and are mostly more interesting than the fetch-quest ones in the original NieR / NieR Replicant. Some of the boss fights are pretty cool.
