Done with the New World, on to Wano!

just endless clicking through menus and rewards screens and all of that and every part of playing the game seems to get in the way of the collection, but there's no real loot system or char creation either. so nothing compared to a hardcore arpg or anything similar

extract shooters such a depressng point for video games to end up at. shooter rpg loot collection quest games where the shooting is meaningless, the character creation is meaningless, the loot is meaningless and the quests are meaningless. games that are played just for the sake of playing them

One of the rare examples of pop culture entertainment that clearly recognises the depravity and suffering that exists in the world, but it doesn’t stoop to cynicism or ‘indomitable human spirit’ shit either. It says everything must be destroyed and rebuilt

Same theme exists in white town with law - the powers that be grind human bodies in factories and make silence through violence. What I love about one piece is how it so clearly shows how propaganda effects citizenry, and it believes that people can be woken up to the truth

The peace and prosperity that existed within dressrosa was only made possible through the repression of the experience of the oppressed class. In dressrosa the non-recognition of that class is literal, but it is what the world govt is always doing across the world regardless (like in alabasta)

By having the fights won by the gladiators instead of the straw hats it shows the people as a community rejecting the system of the world govt, which is ultimately more meaningful. That system is also represented on a micro scale in the toys system

One piece update SPOILERS AHEAD:

Really enjoyed dressrosa! I think it’s an interesting foil to alabasta and smoker says as much at the end.

De-emphasising the straw hats is a weird choice, but i dont think it is without intention

Love kawakami, heaven and all the lovers in the night are both great too

Evangelion news has 28 year olds everywhere going crazy

Buying stuff, doing stuff and posting about stuff are all different hobbies with less overlap than you think. Of all three, it’s actually doing stuff that is the least popular and most criticised

Poor snacko 😔

but, it's end game of tod's is clearly some poopoo that arc sys is trying to avoid with tokons design. my only concern is that in over engineering to avoid a toxic high level, they may muddy the waters and lose the immediate joy of the first time play

been having a great time blasting dbfz with the homies. that games in a great space where its really easy to learn enough to get to a basic level of expression but its so fast in its play and constant in its decision making that at low level every match sprawls out into lots of situations 1/2

fish man island was like totally mid but then i remembered that the same guy wrote alabasta and it's made me hate that arc. such a nothing burger

Garou is like the the best we’ve had but it’s got too much of a Stank on it

I don’t care if a fighting game is a bad product. I don’t care if a fighting game can grow the community. I don’t care if a fighting game is expensive. There are 1,000,000 games that are free and have lots of content and huge communities; i want like 1 single Great modern fighting game

Just saw a youtuber really confidently and condescendingly assert ‘with numbers, simpler is always better’ as if it was an obvious, innate common truth…. in a review for an rpg

And then you can land the sweet CH 5H …

If you’re someone who has genuinely played the Kojima mgs games… why would you even care about this rainbow six collab at all lmao

Plex will recognise the randomest movies but can not put even the most popular anime’s in seasons correctly. Every gundam 0079 episode was recognised as an individual show 😭

herein we see the rare virtue of a strong individual vitality, and the rare virtue of thick walls, and the rare virtue of interior spaciousness

Hit time skip! Part 1 is now over, unbelievably excited for what happens next!!!

If youre white you don’t get to have negative opinions on one piece. It’s for us.

in Metroid when you find a secret they give you missiles you can shoot at bugs. Then indie devs came and said what if instead of missiles we gave you LORE. and until they give me a gun I can use to shoot LORE at bugs im uninterested

Took me about six weeks but I’ve hit chapter 500 in one piece!

After about 15-20 hours of poe2, I’ve grown a bit tired of pressing the same few buttons. The endgame gambling seems really cool but this is getting to the point where it’s slogging.

Maybe another class is more fun than the monk, idk

I’ve spent this year reading one piece, working out and playing roguelikes and live service games. I’ve regressed into normal-ass dude mode I don’t know what’s next for me.

Serious Sam enemy and encounter design is really great at forcing you to move (homing enemies) and then pushing you to move in weird ways because of projectiles/enemy proximity threat. Dodging a lunge while also jumping over projectiles or trying to avoid being on the scarier part of the room
