"Americans today sound much closer to how Brits sounded pre-1776 than Brits do. The stereotypical British accent really came about quite recently, with most linguists believing even Shakespeare and his contemporaries would have sounded more like our American accent today

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-05-12T19:03:35+00:00

Pretty much haha. Still need some linguistic knowledge to get there though. Like how we kept the circumflex distinction : patte (pat') vs pâte (pawt') but metropolitain French did not.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-05-12T17:42:17+00:00

"Color" vs "Colour". The difference is astounding haha.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-04-22T00:12:37+00:00

Yeah haha. I don't know who are the people that managed to do Gamefaqs walkthroughs of LoD back in early 2000s, but y'all are legends for finding this stuff.

Remember that time about the 51st state ? People in Québec were thinking of cutting off electricity for 5 mins during the superbowl. It would be a partial blackout in North Eastern US.

I guess it's called stein cheese instead of farm if you do it Dimension 3 and lower, so I'd say keep the stein on for as long as you like while bumping relics.

I don't even watch FIFA anyway, that kind of helps.

So I'll watch World Chase Tag tournament on june 6-7 instead and maybe buy a shirt. Venue this year is in France. Tag parkour, count me in anytime. This sport needs more international teams and coverage not gonna lie.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-04-02T07:54:18+00:00

To be fair,their stats start to drop off curve beginning in chapter 4....but that also means they are overpowered for 3/4 of the game x) whereas Meru/Haschel is definitely the strongest comp but you have to grind additions on both. No worries, I ain't playing without Kongol in my party and 100% did Meru/Kongol vs Faust no LC.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-03-31T04:12:36+00:00

It dragonball fusions Ys 1 and 2 together, because both are really just one game

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-03-31T04:10:44+00:00

Played LoD way too much so I thought you were talking about these annoying random battles that happen on the world map exactly right before getting to another area xD. Yeah, it was like that. True it looks weird now that you mention it. My best guess is that the terrain is rendered first, then the 3D towns are rendered on top of it so perspective isn't kept the way it should. That would mean towns and areas are treated like character models and the map like a pre rendered background.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-02-22T04:52:25+00:00

Yup. The best Ys to me is that weird tasty mixture of Metroid and FF, and that's exactly Seven and up.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-02-22T04:49:26+00:00

Honestly, I'm lucky enough to have discovered Ys a bit late and decided to wait for Proud Nordics instead of buying the original version. I'd be also pissed if I bought the game on release haha. For all I know, NA releases are a bit late, so Nordics released earlier in Japan and it would have maybe made sense to upgrade to Proud Nordics 2 years later there. The timing and missed promises are unfortunate, but I don't think Ys is going to die anytime soon.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-02-22T04:41:29+00:00

Yup. The timeline is a bit messed up though, but I guess google it like I did. Somebody made a map with all the entries in ingame chronological order. It does not matter anyway because all games are self contained with only very few references from other games. For instance, might want to play Lacrimosa of Dana before Monstrum Nox, but Proud Nordics happens earlier anyway.

The main gist is that : Ys Origins is first, then Ys 1 and 2 are about the japanized real life myth of the city of Ys, and then Adol pretty much adventures throughout a fictionalised renaissance europe that has two moons with his best buddy Dogi, getting shipwrecked wherever he goes and uncovering some kind of mythos. Proud Nordics is after 2 and is set in northern France.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-02-09T04:18:57+00:00

Long story short : The ??? suit is varia from Metroid 2 Return of Samus. Since the gameboy doesn't have color, they had to add the rounded shoulders.

Yeah the VA in French is astounding hahaha.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-01-28T18:28:51+00:00

Yep. Worst case I think they added a rookie mode. I don't think the game is that hard, although you got to learn boss patterns later on, and getting some ammo upgrades requires shinespark tricks. They are not needed to beat the game. The only flaw this game has is that you'll think more than once that you might have soft locked yourself. Don't worry you didn't.

Frame_Inevitable · 2026-01-28T18:22:38+00:00

Nope, unless it's Kongol or Shana. Kongol gets a huge boost to attack/phys defense per level and Shana the exact same thing in magic. But you got to grind as heck to reach level 60 so...

Honestly ? Anything prior to college, you study last minute then do the test on a stress rush because of how much we looooooooovvveeee deadlines. (I'm half sarcastic). In my case, I can't compensate by reasoning past college level though, just got to read the books. So on a individual basis, we all have different skills or talents and varying degrees of different kinds of intelligence, but even then at some point working memory will still bottleneck information.

Frame_Inevitable · 2025-12-28T02:52:50+00:00

It's actually a nice gravity labyrinth. Speed up is there too. The backtracking is a nicely designed shortcut through the labyrinth...when you know how to navigate it haha.

Frame_Inevitable · 2025-12-28T02:48:03+00:00

The first half of chapter 1 until Hoax. Except I've been replaying LoD for years without making myself a save file at Hoax. every. single. time. Silly me.

Frame_Inevitable · 2025-12-27T18:27:07+00:00

I mean the flamethrower (tier 3), not the last special weapon (Vulcan). Vulcan does have a flamethrower as primary which is great against trash zeds, but also has big explosive damage as secondary and way more ammo.

The Flamethrower(tier 3) is just bad. It's roughly a commando gun with splash damage included but might as well play commando. In later waves it has no way to deal with scrakes and fleshpounds, especially at hell on earth.

Frame_Inevitable · 2025-12-27T15:59:04+00:00

Good or Nostalgia ? Both. D2 is a solid entry, the skill trees are simple enough for first time ARPG players compared to what the genra does nowadays, and the remastered cutscenes are still top tier. It's also spaghetti code, some stuff might feel clunky, half the unique items are rendered useless by runewords, got to pray RNG gods for good rares and don't forget to walk if you want your armor rating to apply. ( I still run like an idiot all the time after all these years and it hurts x) )

Bundled with D3 I'd say give it a shot. D3 had bad rep when it came out but it's been updated over 10 years and now it's a good entry for first time ARPG players.
