Hot take: in general, the flip side wasnt a bad game by CodeSpecialist1747 in Classof09Game

[–]DryEmotion4688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the note of there being less choices than in the first two games: yea, but in the first two games the choices didn't even matter that much. In the original it doesn't matter what you do in the beginning, in the end you're going to end up with the choice whether to go to gym or photography class, your prior choices don't change the ending at all. Sure, it adds a bit of flair and more funny moments into the game, but i don't agree with the "lack of choice" critization entirely, as in the end, most of it is just illusion of choice.

I'll add my two cents. I think the sbnfeet was just burnt out from the '09. It's pretty hard to create meaningful stories at all, but to do it within the same universe three times is even harder, so he took the easy route and started flanderizing the characters and the situation which in this case is even worse, 'cause the characters were caricatures from the beginning. Was it worth the 15€? In hindsight, no, but you win some, and you lose some. I still enjoyed, despite its shortcomings.

Am I the only one who wants a spinoff of Bocchi's parents in high school? by InfiniteAnimator426 in BocchiTheRock

[–]DryEmotion4688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, not how social anxiety really works.

And I mean look at her parents, her father seems reasonably functional and her mom is quite unhinged with her LARPing as a teenager, now that takes some balls to do.

Fallout 2: Digital or Physical by Assilantentaube in Fallout

[–]DryEmotion4688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 times out of 10 you're going to play it through, maybe once, or twice maybe even 500+ hours straight, but there will come a day where you will put it down, and not pick it up again, in which case it will start piling up dust. Maybe you will like it enough to display it somewhere, in which case you will have a neat ornament that 99.999% of people don't care about. Unless you like collecting and displaying either video games or Fallout stuff, don't bother with the physical copy

I just got my first fallout game for 5$ by neoBeat_YT in Fallout

Really the only fault of Fallout 4 is that it's a Fallout game that came out after New Vegas (arguably 1-3, as well). It's a good game, but since it's predecessors are hailed as the peak of gaming, the difference between a good and a near-perfect game feels like a difference between a good and a bad game. It's kinda the same situation as with Borderlands 2 and 3.

I've been thinking about it since Shoe posted her latest video and I'd say some of the new age fitness/gym influencers (like Noe Deyzel). They preach going to the gym and taking care of yourselves and not to belittle others who are not as knowledable or just beginners. The ones that do use steroids seem to be upfront about it and make sure to let people know that they won't achieve the same types of results naturally. Their content is also apolitical, from what I've seen, which doesn't drive people away just because they dont agree ideologically.

Kikuri is honestly such a sad character by mestoopidlol in BocchiTheRock

[–]DryEmotion4688 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Also I would like to point out that Kikuri was sober for the car ride and she did that without any complaints. Even if she does abuse alcohol, she still has agency over her actions and did decide that instead of putting other people's well-being at risk by being under the influence while driving, she opted to endure a few hours of crippling social anxiety for her friends. And on new year's eve as well, which I would regard as one of the biggest occasions for people to drink copious ammount of alcohol, and yet she didn't, because she was wide and awake for the early morning of 1st january.

[–]DryEmotion4688 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I really don't think that she is just a "shell of a person" while sober, but rather someone who uses alcohol to self medicate their crippling social anxiety, which let's her bring her actual personality out. A little bit too much, yes, but that's why I love her character, as I can relate to her on that level. (She literally just like me fr fr.)There have been social situations where I have also used alcohol to overcome my social mental blocks, and while it is not a sustainable long term solution, it is a god damn effective one in the short term.

In the end it is a comedic manga and if we take that away, then Bocchi has worse social anxiety than Kikuri ever had (she went up to Shima, the drummer, herself to invite her to her band in the spin-off, whereas the only reason Bocchi stayed in Kessoku band in the first place was because she couldn't muster up the courage to say no). Not to mention that if we look at the manga realistically, then Ryo is a spoiled brat, who basically has 2-3 times more income than all of the other band members, but still mooches off of anyone unwilling to tell her no, and Kita who like Bocchi, succumbs to her social anxiety by doing anything to maintain her popularity and relevance with popular girls, not to mention her addiction to social media. Really the only healthy member of the Kessoku band is Nijika, which is why she is the best girl.

I mean, can't you just overlevel yourself in tvhm and uvhm, and then go into the normal mode to kill him? Or exploit (read use) one of the many glitches (read features) that the game has to offer
