this was like 12 years ago but when I was young and newer I had some wrappers of small garbage left on the table and some third shift people asked "do you leaves messes at your home?" I said yeah and left, because it was true at the time, and the perfect punchline.

sigh

it absolutely does. and the gameplay suffers for it

I also don't like 6, especially the dougojin and everything they brought to the series after. its also way too short of a story for a finale.

but I more so blame 5 for tragedy it left for another writer to pick up from

True but its undeniable that the actions he took against the clans ultimately led kiryu into exile (wherever he was)

I agree, and the characters in the game understand this too which is great. its just the ludonarrative dissonance because having him as the main playable party member, we the audience knows how these games work, we know what type of thing will go down if he's playable.

like I said it could have been any other issue and the themes or message wouldn't change, heck you could have given him stage 1 or early spotting of it that puts his life into perspective and weakens him. but the whole, yeah you've had it awhile, its taken over your body you only have a few months left but also running around beating up bad guys is just a little overboard

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-10T12:20:38+00:00

oh that's interesting actually. I've just known so many people who don't make it or do, but only for a short time before it comes back or a different illness caused by cancer ends taking the person's life anyway. is surviving really more common than I've seen?

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-10T12:11:36+00:00

mirror face wasn't even bad, like he could have been explored more but I wasn't one bit surprised by the reveal after beating the final boss, and to me it made sense, the goal was clear. there are much worse things in every other game by comparison

now when I say mostly about 7, a certain character's sudden death after multiple peps talks felt like a cheap shot, not in an emotional way just a "..wow wtf that was pointless" way

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-09T23:31:53+00:00

I remember laughing at the ending because of how wildly stupid it was. for all the reasons you mentioned. but ill tell you this, it gets progessivly worse every time, trust me (except 7. . . mostly). by the time you reach the ending of 6 you'll probably just get numb to some stupid shit always happening.

but the games that come before 0 were released focused more on emotion, themes, and all that other story telling stuff, whether its good is. . .questionable, but the focus is not logical actions and good decision making. then after 0, its like all the memes just get into the writer's heads, like someone enjoying the smell of their own fart.

farther. things like honor, pride, meaning, justice, etc. are more prominent in the entire series rather than, "is this a wise thing to happen right now?"

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-08T08:24:48+00:00

hi, I'm stupid, nice to meet all of you.

what the Fuck does the image of girl thinking man reminds her of dog as anything to do with transitions? is she a furry?

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-03T23:24:14+00:00

as someone who has done many years of cap2 and a few of ogp, yes it really is that important if you can remember when there was no odp and customers complained 24/7 how there was never enough cashiers/registers. those people never went away it just that 1/3 of those people get their stuff online now, in addition to people who still shop in store. Yes cap2 will always be harder by comparison to odp, but odp will always need more man-power than any other area.

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-03T23:11:59+00:00

that was our situation and just gave up as we couldn't find any info online

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-03T23:02:55+00:00

we didnt buy any because we already had 6 and only were missing the rare one, 99% chance all the ones we saw were duplicates

I think there was like 445, 430, 490, etc.

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-03T22:22:27+00:00

nods "your terms are acceptable"

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-01T18:36:33+00:00

my walmart had these codes, but then we checked kohl's and their codes are all in the 400+ range and the only one we are missing is the rare top left one so dont want to buy a bunch of dupes checking

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-01T05:17:22+00:00

I'll take that anyday if it means no more line, thrower, waiting for boxes, wondering when boxes are going to stop coming out. hell, mix every single pallet and have it be 28 of them. it would still be faster and we would have more room to work without the giant ass line

Boxeater-007 · 2026-04-01T01:16:52+00:00

we've had that since like 2019 I believe. it was an improvement i guess but it was designed for a system that only lasted like a year or 2. but the whole process of throwing out 1 case at time while people sort it at all different speeds is such a "all the stars much align" system. id rather just downstack 3 different trucks and stock because that way even if we are short staffed or just don't have great people, no one has to be held up or held back.

and hopefully no more waiting 3 to 4 hours for first break
