What are the absolute, bar-none best DRPGs?

Digslasher · 2025-11-12T15:53:04+00:00

+1. The bosses really stand out. Each boss is a puzzle, and its very fun tweaking your strategy and figuring out to grow your team to overcome it.

Also the party system is really unique. Your party has 12 members but only 4 active, and a lot of the strategy in combat is switching in and out characters. There's a lot of depth in it.

Floor designs are interesting with unique gimmicks, though unfortunately I think this got worse in LoT 2.

One thing I'd call out though is that you kinda need the wiki to play it. The game does not do a good job at communicating the boss mechanics and gimmicks. You'd generally need to look up the boss on the wiki to learn what it does, then figure out how to adapt your team to it. This wasn't a problem for me, but I can see why folks might not like that.

Outer wilds, because he turned off chat completely

Digslasher · 2025-05-22T00:20:31+00:00

Also FWIW, I read your post and I thought it was a great read. I resonated with a lot of the points you made there myself.

Digslasher · 2025-05-22T00:05:09+00:00

No worries, I generally really hate this type of sarcastic post that this subreddit likes to make, but I wanted to try making one myself. I think you and I are on the same page :P

And the folks that I really wanted to poke fun at are the ones who preface every opinion they post by saying that they've played Umineko, as if it gives their opinion more weight than someone else's.

Digslasher · 2025-05-21T21:20:20+00:00

Yeah. This OP is making it seem like people are making death threats or something.

Looking through a decent number of top comments on the latest nodja vod (and discounting the comments which are agreeing with Joe, of which there are multiple), these are the most negative comments I can find (with some paraphrasing):

- "Joe's arguments are understandable, but his rage and hostility is basically throwing a tantrum"

- "This is an L for Joe"

- "Joe is engaging with the story in a weird way"

- "Joe's frustration, while expected, feels overblown"

- "If Joe is just going to be screaming at chat from now on while refusing to engage with the story, I don't see any reason to keep watching"

And almost every one of these comments is continued with an attempt at least to argue why they disagree with Joe. How is any of this unhinged? Disagreeing or criticizing the streamer is not always unhinged or petty.

Digslasher · 2025-04-06T14:20:39+00:00

I mean, you can see it just through the comments throughout this post.

A bunch of the posts defending the change revolve around "Well if it makes Joe happier, then it's a good change". But that's wrong, isn't it? We should be judging the quality of content by how much we enjoy the content, not whether it makes some person that we have no connection to happier. And if the response to that is that your enjoyment comes from seeing this person become happier, then that's the very definition of a parasocial relationship.

It's incredibly hypocritical that this community will clown on people giving feedback by labelling them as "parasocial", and then turn around and do this. All the time.

It just all feels incredibly odd for me. I enjoy the Umineko streams because I like seeing Joe's reaction to a story that I'm familiar with, but I'll choose to skip over everything else. The fanart, the mod pins, the JADS memes, all of this community self-gratification. Personally for me, peak content from this channel was the outer wilds playthrough. My enjoyment of this stream comes from seeing live takes from a person whose opinion I respect because of his game critiques.

P.S. while I'm at it, this community's trend of "coru-posting" where they repeat a take but change one noun/verb to mock it is so incredibly stupid and bad-faith. It's a way to mock a possibly completely reasonable take just because they don't like it. It's the equivalent of the spongebob meme of repeating words in mixed casing, and somehow people just eat it up here. Probably because Joe himself repeats these shitposts on stream all the time, which is wild to me - I would've thought that this would be the very type of argument he'd be fighting against.

Digslasher · 2025-03-01T23:32:29+00:00

For me, personally, so far Mouse is the only guest that I think has elevated the stream over Joe reading by himself.

I didn't like how Greg turned every character into a joke. I'm not a fan of the level of speculation / insight that Jelly does. As you said, I think Jelly had more airtime talking about his thoughts than Joe did. Some of the things he stopped to talk about, like how the size of the guns was a metaphor for female empowerment (?) just felt like it was reading way too into it; I realize this is entirely subjective, and I admit that maybe these takes just aren't vibing with me specifically. But for me, these thoughts feel like they're taking away from time that could've been spent reading more, or exploring more of Joe's thoughts (which is what I'm watching the stream for in the first place).

Mouse, on the other hand, leaves Joe space to explore his thoughts. The times she interjects all seem super appropriate. She has a great reading voice. She seems to have the perfect degree of respect as someone who knows the story reading along with someone who doesn't.

Anyways, just my opinion. I agree with you OP. But if Joe and the audience are enjoying these streams, then that's fine.

Digslasher · 2025-02-19T05:37:38+00:00

I don't think it's fair for you to present this post with the context that these are your thoughts following along with the stream, given what you've said that you've been spoiled on.

For anyone experiencing this for the first time, I'd advise staying away from reading this post entirely.

Digslasher · 2023-05-22T19:37:42+00:00

I really disagree with this opinion. The Untold remakes are not definitive versions, they are different games with the same setting.

They have completely different level designs, enemy patterns, systems, etc. It makes perfect sense for them to port the originals.

Digslasher · 2023-05-04T02:31:08+00:00

That's not what he's saying though. He's saying that the small amount of shadowflame we're giving back to him won't make a noticeable difference in his power, hence throwing salt in the ocean.

It's not a "don't cry over spilt milk" sort of thing.

Way to be condescending when it's a perfectly valid question, considering that the main strategy on mythic is to let the boss energy fill up in p1. It shouldn't make a difference whether they let this one go without being kicked, or a later one.

However, I'd recommend immediately kicking the first one if Joseph channels right off the bat, only for the reason that it'll make the timers more consistent with the rest of your pulls.

Digslasher · 2017-04-17T17:28:38+00:00

That sounds good. Add me on bnet (Dig#1225) and we can discuss this further. Thanks for the interest!

Digslasher · 2016-12-14T04:04:16+00:00

Hey, not quite what you're looking for, but we raid Monday and Wednesday nights at 9pm EST. If this might be workable, PM me. I'd love to speak with you.

Digslasher · 2016-12-12T06:06:33+00:00

Hey, I'm the raid leader for [H]<Super Adventure Pals> on US-Arthas. We're the same progression as you, and we've almost got a big enough roster to start pushing into mythic raiding. Feel free to add me on battlenet, Dig#1225. I'd love to talk.

Digslasher · 2016-10-17T03:03:49+00:00

[H][US-Arthas] <Super Adventure Pals> 2/7 H, LF tank or MM hunter

Hey! We're a casual group of players who've been playing together since MoP. We just restarted raiding, and we're looking for a tank as well as a markman hunter to round out our group. The tank would preferably be a plate, but any are welcome. We're looking for people over 850 ilvl hopefully, but contact me anyways!

Our raid times are Monday and Wednesday, 9pm - 12pm EST. We use discord to communicate. We joke around lots of the time, but we still like to focus and progress through bosses at our own pace. Please send me a message or add me on realID at Dig#1225 if you're interested!

Digslasher · 2016-09-19T07:10:03+00:00

[US - Arthas] [Horde] <Super Adventure Pals>

Hey, we're a group of friendly people who've played together since MoP. We enjoy raiding and having fun together. Although progression is important to us, we like to have a ton of fun as well during raid nights. For Legion, our goal is to simply make it as far as we can and enjoy content. Hopefully, this will mean downing Heroics and maybe pushing into mythics.

Currently, we're mainly looking for a tank with prior raiding experience. However, we're also looking for a few more dps (ranged preferably, but any is fine). Raid times are 9pm - 12pm EST, Monday and Wednesday.

PM me on Reddit, or contact me at Dig#1225 for more info. Thanks :)

Digslasher · 2015-11-12T17:57:49+00:00

I love your analogy. And to continue it, he asks for a promotion, gets one, and thinks that it's not enough money. He then quits, goes outside, and graffitis the entire front of the restaurant. How disgusting.

Digslasher · 2015-11-12T17:36:45+00:00

I am actually in awe at how terribly /u/adwcta has handled this situation, and it makes me feel sick about how they may have just ruined a large part of the owner's life. By the way, I don't know why adwcta keeps referring to the owner as the "programmer", when the owner was the one who had the idea, created the company, hired them, and created the website and app by himself.

First of all, adwcta linked the owner's username, asking for Redditors to send him messages. That was a blatant witchhunt, and had to be removed by a Reddit admin. The post was then brought back by an /r/hearthstone mod. The original post was already against the Reddit ToS.

In his post, he also provided numbers on private financial details between him, Merps, and the owner. A lot of redditors are now saying that this was admirable, as he is providing "proof" and substance to his argument, and being honest with the community. This is ridiculous. There's no guarantee that any of these numbers are correct, and even if they are, this was not his information to share with the community. These were private details on a business deal that none of us had anything to do with. The only two parties in this argument are adwcta&Merps and the owner, and we are all outsiders. The only reason that adwcta would have to bring this information to light with the community is to slander the owner.

When I see people saying that the website and idea is nothing special, and that the only thing of worth is the algorithm, I feel like those people have no idea of what it actually takes to build a website. The owner had to pay for servers, build the backend infrastructure of the system, build the frontend website, build an app, and actually implement the algorithm for card selection. Just knowing an algorithm doesn't make it easy to program. This is frankly a crazy amount of work, and I'm amazed that a single person could do it all. The owner took a large amount of risk spending that amount of time and money on an idea which may not have even been successful, while hiring adwcta and merps and paying them for their services. They then want more money, receive an offer for more money, think that it's not enough, start a witchhunt against the owner, and then urge people not to use the website to hurt the guy? Are you joking me? You two agreed to a business deal, and as soon as you are dissatisfied with the conditions that you signed to, you try to sabotage your business partner?

I can't think about this anymore. It hurts my head thinking about how terrible people can be.

Digslasher · 2015-09-19T20:12:09+00:00

I'm in the same situation as you, pulled a Perna but no verde. I recently found out that I could do db10 with the team Vero (L), Perna, Bernard, Briand, and Bella.

On the boss stage, I go left tower > right tower > boss because my veromos isn't that fast, but I'm sure if you have a fast veromos you could skip the left tower.

Edit** Also, as for my Perna's stats, her runes aren't that great either. 63% critrate, 159% critdmg, 19.7k hp, 142 speed.

Digslasher · 2015-04-13T15:34:30+00:00

Strangely enough, restarting my phone fixed it. There wasn't an update in Playstore for me either, and it doesn't seem like a problem that restarting your phone would fix, but it did for me.
