I wouldn’t want him to be as quick, TBH. I loved how naturally and realistically the story developed in Season 1, and I imagine this requires a lot of patience, research, deliberation, and not always settling for the first idea.
I trust him to make the right choices.
Yo, what about God Eater?
Hmm… this is common in action games and soulslikes, I think: Arkham in Devil May Cry 3 and Centipede Demon in Dark Souls come to mind. Those fights are all about positioning.
I feel as if this is a common solution to large boss fights in most games with melee combat; whereas humanoid enemies can typically either quickly turn, do sweeping 360 attacks, or teleport behind you (oh hi Vergil) so it’s less about positioning and more about pattern recognition and quick reflexes.
That said, it’s possible I misunderstood what you mean because I haven’t played older MH games or Xenoblade.
Hmm… I thought I knew what you mean, but you said MH and now I’m confused. Monster Hunter is mainly dodge and hit? I’m not an expert, but this is how I played World/Rise. How different were older MH games?
I was asked if there’s any actor I would’ve liked to be not too long ago, and my answer was Catherine O’Hara. Absolute fucking legend of film, TV, comedy, you name it.
Talk about leaving a legacy and being fawned over by comedy nerds and mainstream audiences alike… unparalleled performer. She will always be one of a kind.
I thought it was a good Guy Ritchie pastiche, but it’s no Pi or The Fountain. Overall, his best seems to be behind him.
So are citizens in on it? Or is this yet another case of politicians selling out their communities?
Either way, I’m awed by the tenacity to follow money straight into hell.
I regret paying money to watch Caught Stealing last year. Not seeing any of his movies in the theater again.
I would LOVE to see how this increases code quality 😂 I have to use AI coding tools at work, and they’re quick, but the code they generate is DOGSHIT. Iterate so many times on even the simplest of projects, and insanity is bound to unfold.
You ABSOLUTELY need to babysit it, which is more trouble than it’s worth for big projects.
You know, watching cartoons when I was young, I always thought it’s unrealistic the bad guys keep trying the same insane plan to “take over the world” or whatever when the hero had foiled like 1,000 of those already… I always thought “no way villains are this stupid”
Fuck me, what did I know? Turns out they actually are.
A new shmup port! Nice, thanks for sharing.
Devil May Cry 3.
Yeah, I still don’t like this game. It’s more fun than its predecessors mainly because you can launch and air juggle enemies or do more cool shit like skateboarding or Crazy Dance, but there’s too many humanoid enemies you can’t launch and the absence of an on-the-fly style switcher is very restrictive.
My aim was to judge it for what it is, so I won’t mod the style switcher in this time. I do think they should release the Switch version on PC though.
I will give it this: when you can combo, you can pull off pretty cool shit, but I want a fun action game, not a combo simulator.
I won’t say it’s overrated, but I will say I’d rather play 4 or 5 because I find them more fun.
I’d say it’s both. It kind of had the Tim and Eric sensibility: some sketches start as satire of real life concepts and eventually get driven into absurdity.
Then some are just… absurd and were clearly picked only because they’re funny.
Maybe the remaining Netflix subscriber base is less interested in satirical comedy these days?
Were they ever? I can’t think of any hit other than I Think You Should Leave.
Bizarre logic, and I almost exclusively play older games. Consumers being priced out of consumption is never good no matter how hard anyone tries to spin it.
After 65 hours in Catherine: Classic, trying to beat Babel.
I love this game. It’s one of those games I’ll be revisiting and replaying forever.
Cut scenes still won’t play on Linux, but the game works great otherwise.
I wish they release Full Body on Steam at some point. Or a sister game with a gender-flipped protagonist.
I respect Persona and Arena Ultimax is one of my favorite games of all time, but Catherine is my favorite Atlus game and, IMO, their finest creation.
I don’t own a Steam Deck (yet) but I retested nearly all of my library on Debian this year, and everything runs well enough now so I stopped dual booting.
I remember trying on Arch (Artix) 6 years ago and nearly everything was a pain… now only issue is anti-cheat, and I’m not married to Dragon Ball FighterZ online, so it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Good eye! It is made by Soleil (Itagaki’s studio) and you’re correct in assuming enemies aren’t as aggressive in general; however, in this particular clip, the grenades the boss keeps tossing from off screen and the multiple group knockdowns/finishers here make them look more docile than they actually are. If I miss the gun counter at the beginning, or if I don’t have enough meter to execute the gun takedown near the end, the encounter was gonna look much different.
The one enemy left near the end did not attack because I killed enough to trigger a cut scene. He comes after me after it ends.
In terms of difficulty, I’m playing on normal here, and I have died a lot so far, but this could be due to my general discomfort with aiming and gun-based combat in most games, so your milage may vary there. Also Hard difficulty is unlocked from the get-go, so the option is available.

Yoooo, I’ve been playing 3 games this week:
Uppers
A miracle happened: Steam recommended me a game I ended up actually enjoying. What an insane mess this game is 😂 Last I played it, it had me kick someone into a flying helicopter, it exploded, and the game crashed. Absolute insanity, I love it.
Assault Android Cactus+
OK, I’m back: finally got over my gripes with the game and can officially say I’ve been converted to a fan. Honestly, in a world where nearly every western twin-stick shooter is some kind of rogue- variant, this game is worth supporting, even though it’s old. I respect Isaac and its legion of mimics, but I find games like this and Nex Machina much more fun. Arcade design FTW 🤘
Gunvein
Finally went on sale! I waited for a year! Totally worth the wait! What an intense, fun game. Probably my 3rd favorite shmup on Steam, after Crimzon Clover and Hellsinker. I look forward to practicing 1CCs.
