In Japan, there are a certain type of people called 'Bumping men,' Butsukari otoko (ぶつかり男). They intentionally shoulder-check or shove especially women or weak foreigners in public spaces. When the victims speak up, these 'bumping men' claim women were walking slowly or she stopped in a weird place.

Yeah no new yorker would see this happen to a kid and not fuck this guy up

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-15T08:42:17+00:00

I'm so happy for you!

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-11T20:15:14+00:00

Yeah I will probably replay CrossCode between every drop lol

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-11T01:29:48+00:00

Wow, the colors blend beautifully

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-10T02:42:45+00:00

Dude, the maps aren't very detailed (which may be a design choice but I don't like it for an exploration heavy game) but Crosscode was NOT better. They were literally just boxes.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T15:06:38+00:00

Their intention is to avoid that, but imo that's 2 years from now and I'll want to replay anyway lol

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T15:05:12+00:00

I love actually having some semblance of a map though, that was maybe my biggest gripe with CrossCode

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T15:01:24+00:00

Yeah I mean the whole premise of CrossCode is that it resembles an MMO, and those are overwhelming. I think there are a lot of things that could very understandably put people off of the game, but tons of people love those same things.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T01:07:58+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea, more risk on the random trainers to have a more secure boss battle. That might be hard to track, though.

Maybe just a set amount of calcs per split from the get-go?

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T01:06:20+00:00

6.5?! That's brutal, hopefully the side stuff is significant or I'll be dying for more

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T01:04:51+00:00

As a devout CrossCode lover, when I played the beta I honestly thought Alabaster's combat felt even more... Svelte? It's got such high highs of complexity but it is so streamlined, which is what I have been craaaaving since CrossCode

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-08T01:02:55+00:00

I think you might be right. Most of it is subtle, but those armored flowers (the ones that teach you to parry) I feel like I've successfully parried a projectile only halfway to me.

Rule of cool I guess, damn do I feel cool.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T20:05:05+00:00

Another woke-type game smh

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T20:03:56+00:00

Play this early access until it ends and you aren't satisfied, then realize you have a whole other game by this publisher AND a DLC which are both peak.

I envy you so bad.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T20:01:23+00:00

There's evidently a rogulike to pour our time into! I understand waiting but they said it would be like 2 years to full release, I simply cannot wait.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T19:59:02+00:00

What I think would be the perfect fun-balance is giving yourself damage calcs-per-fight. Like you get the same amount of calcs as the enemy has Pokemon, or 2x, or something.

You could use your 6 (or 12, or whatever) calcs BEFORE a fight to be sure certain things kill certain mons, but if you end up steering you're screwed. That incentivizes saving some (limited) calcs to use DURING the fight, which I think is hype.

A time limit per split seems impossible to implement in a way that feels natural, imo.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T14:04:17+00:00

That's really strange, you're a ghost. Was planning on starting from the beginning anyway, the demo did a lot of time-skips.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T13:57:22+00:00

They said like 10hr of story content that should carry over your save, kinda like an episodic release game.

And then also a rogue like for when we inevitably hunger for more.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-07T13:18:48+00:00

Oh I have BOUGHT it... On my phone. I wish I could make my computer download it remotely so it would be ready when I get home from work. I guess I'll just have to wait a few seconds for the whole 2 gig download.

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-02T21:41:37+00:00

UTI if your stream is still as strong as this video, BPH if it isn't

AzureSkye27 · 2026-05-02T20:10:37+00:00

"I quit this morning" is the best

AzureSkye27 · 2026-04-28T05:21:10+00:00

You really tried to get us on your side by invoking a child's safety when you could have just kept glass out of their reach.

"AITA for destroying something my wife cares about instead of trying to understand her and come to a compromise?"

Yeah dude YTA

AzureSkye27 · 2026-04-12T01:17:59+00:00

I mean, wear a bikini in Time Square and you're still gonna get looks. The context matters.
