BLM has headed to Europe nowI was in the Bernie camp and didn't have any plan if he lost, but I keep comparing the arguments of youtubers I like that're mostly middle left, to the arguments made by the rest of the left, and the latter ones come out looking a bit weak. (no intentions of seeming like a dick with this post, btw) On the concerns that policies Donald Trump would enact may disadvantage certain peoplePerspectiveImmigration and IslamInciting violenceThat's a lot of links, sorry about that, but I felt like giving some perspective on this, and one last video for shits and giggles. edit: Keep in mind that this time last year, I would have gone to one of his rallies to pretend I was one of them and yell they took our jobs but that was before I realized people started doing that more or less, except it was Bernies supporters (unironically) calling him a bigot.

Alana and Josh, plus Robert because it sounded like this may concern him: you guys should play all three Xenosagas, and the second game gets a lot of crap but it's really good after the learning curve with the battle system like the way Resonance of Fate's battle system is convoluted but eventually it clicks if given time.

A very relevant comment made on that article: I read some impressions of the japanese version which came out not long ago. Don't expect too much from this first ex-CiNG outing, people (but do support it please!)
It is 3-5 hours long at max and it doesn't have a lot to it. You investigate some things in a mostly non-interactive fashion; It's just a VN basically. The story itself is sorta forgettable but it definitely feels like this Tokyo cop you're playing as is an alter ego of Kyle Hyde in his detective-days before the events of Hotel Dusk despite the fact that he's now japanese and it takes place in Tokyo.
The impressions I read were that of disappointments. Don't expect this to be the second coming of Hotel Dusk. It doesn't even have Rika Suzuki; the writer of the Another Codes or Hotel Dusks.
This game is Arc System Works testing the waters to see what sticks. Please support this game despite knowing it won't be the best ever and allow them to create a truly great game afterwards, once they've got air under their wings. |

I'm not surprised about SO5, actually I'd be surprised if it had gotten above 80%, and I don't remember the first three games having much backtracking but aside from that it seems like pretty much the same deal as the rest of the series mainly with its story but serviceable battle system - too many undeveloped characters and too much technical/political/historical jargon

This is probably going to be the last time I post about it here, and I didn't check for replies to any other posts I made about this or related topics, because of the possibility that debate may get heated (if anyone wants to debate, send a PM) and derail a thread. IIRC there was another slight little joke made alluding to ethics in games in the last episode (don't remember it word for word) and I don't personally associate with this "consumer movement" as it's called by its proponents, but I think it raises valid criticisms of games journalism. This is the article that made me want to post this hereI don't follow the game news from major outlets generally, so I'd only heard about occasional cases of questionable "journalistic" reviews/coverage, and I guess it's still a thing. |

I guess technically tower defense and RTS games, like Unholy Heights and Pixel Junk Monsters, but those are obvious.
One of the really cool things Persona 3 did, but not Persona 4 iirc, was let me tell party members to go attack (mostly weak) enemies without me going into battle, and since it was brought up in the podcast, WA3 has useless slooooow as fuck auto battle.
