Don’t Think, Just Jam
That’s good to know, thanks!
I didn’t expect the kid to take his research online, good for him! I really needed some bee fluff today too.
Much obliged for that! I often think about writing on what I’m playing but end up forgetting due to time constraints - threads like this one definitely help with that.
I get that, it’s just if there’s no mod to post it I think it’s better to have a topic rather than not, especially since it can be pinned afterwards if any mod stumbles into the community again.
We could also bully them into setting up a bot that would post those automatically but this might have its own issues since some people disable bot submissions.
That sounds encouraging. I’ve been meaning to give it a shot but the backlog is a fickle beast and lives by its own rules.
How’re the Kb/M controls?
Majikoi! Love Me Seriously! S - it’s a wacky visual novel about a group of high-schoolers in a world where melee combat is pretty much commonplace and all the girl MCs are action manga level of strong. Series is hilarious and I can’t stop playing it after getting swept of my feet by Momo in the first game (ended up blazing through it in two days which doesn’t happen often these days). This one is a sequel with the same (though epanded) crew and I really can’t wait to jump back in.
As for the monthly thread, I feel like if it doesn’t happen “officially” the first person to have something to write should just post one themselves instead of waiting. Not like there’s a lot of activity here so it should remain visible long enough to gain traction.
Damn, end of an era… Good luck A-Chan! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)7
This has be kindasortagenerally known already, it just doesn’t really matter if nothing is done about it.
TL;DW:
This is a simplified version of simplified version, watch the video for more info.
It kind of makes sense considering their lore is connected to Advent. It’s an interesting choice by Cover, I wonder if it’ll be a one-off or something they’ll play into more in the future.
They’re just aiming for the older MLG headshot compilation folk.
Translation of the Break Blade’s final chapter is finally here and it’s a bit of a bittersweet moment.
For those unaware BB was a fantasy mecha series, which ran between 2006 and 2022. While it wasn’t perfect, it had some pretty interesting writing and ideas - especially early on. There was mystery, intrigue, some political shenanigans and a lot of action. Things did slip a bit in the later parts of the story (I’m not sure if it had to do with author’s health, creativity issues or just lack of compatibility with serialized schedule) but overall it was a pretty fun ride - even if not a complete one (story concluded but there were some set ups for new arcs).
It also had some great feeling battles, with chunks of armor and parts getting dented, shot up and broken in a very satisfying manner. You could really feel the strength and weight of each hit.
It wasn’t a best thing ever bot boy was it a fun ride. I’m going to miss this series.
I think they might be used as another step to bring Koga’s coolness out to everyone. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to disappoint a kōhai looking up to her.
I’m not going to trudge through days of content to confirm because it’s not that important but I’m pretty sure she did talk about planning to graduate even before the CN fiasco happened (as in, plans came before, I think she talked about it after leaving Holo).
As for Kobo… I’m in two minds about this. On one hand, it’s fair to be worried considering what happened. On the other, Kobo feels a bit more “detached” from the core Holo fan base and had some Chinese content already if I recall correctly (stuff like song lyrics etc), so this might work out for her. Maybe?
I’m sure Cover wouldn’t go for it without some serious risk/reward balancing and I hope they prepared contingency plans in case things go south. All we can do for now is wait and hope for the best.
Yeah, I just watched the Ubisoft Forward stream with some additional details on the new update. Can’t say I’m a fan but whatever - guess they still can’t let go of their obsession with him.
I might be missing something since I’m not completely dialed in with TD lore but didn’t we kill Keener? Are they bringing him back or will this just be more of his usual gloating through audio logs? I’m not sure how I feel about either of those options.
Guess I’ll wait for a full detail breakdown before thinking about coming back.
Koga’s about to go through introvert’s nightmare. She had a good run at least.
That doesn’t seem to do much for me unfortunately. In my case the potential time I need to reserve for a gaming session tends to take precedence over hype whenever I’m in a lazy, scroll-focused rut. Still trying to get back to a recent(ish) release I was super hyped playing during its beta period… At least I have a semi decent explanation for this one, I guess.
While I can’t provide you with a proper scientific answer I can offer a basic explanation - it’s effort.
Browsing through the never ending amount of content online requires no effort but provides you with a dopamine rush as if you actually managed to accomplish or do something with your time. Other stuff, like watching movies, playing games, reading books, etc. requires attention and active participation, the payoff on the other hand is largely delayed (especially compared to the lazy option).
As for hacks… I don’t know any. The only ways I know how to deal with it is limiting your time scrolling through this stuff and forcing yourself to do other things - it can be rough early on but you’ll eventually get used to the “normal” way of functioning.
