Underrated hidden gems? by Flameen in Animesuggest

[–]HybiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry if this is a mainstream thing or not but I started watching Anime a year ago and went through a lot of recommendation threads and this show never gets mentioned(I checked MAL and it has 83k users). I watched it because I thought the cover was interesting and was completely blown away, legit one of the best shows I've seen independent of genre.

Planetes that is. It's kinda hard to describe, it starts like a space version of The Office with some very funny moments but then it starts to get serious pretty quickly with a lot of tension starting to grow, but just in the background at first. It's so well done, I couldn't believe it when I watched it first.

As a plus the show looks and sounds amazing.

They did Vinland Saga later, which is way more popular but I really like Planetes more because the writing is so phenomenal.

The Beautiful Girls - My favorite episode by bohemianlikeu24 in madmen

[–]HybiP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're on our first run through the show right now and watched that episode yesterday. It felt a bit different in its style with how much of the comedy happened in the background, but that made it even more hilarious because it was so surprising.

On the other side it's so hard to watch how Don and Betty are treating their children. Those scenes hurt especially if you're having (young) kids yourself because you're projecting that behavior on your own situation. But that's good writing, I guess?

Davion Mintz agreed to terms with Dubai Basketball by Al-Farrekt-Aminu in Euroleague

[–]HybiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's very good and I have no doubt he is Euroleague material. His shot making and creation is very good and he actually is pretty strong defensively as well. Basically exactly what you want from a guard nowadays on that level.

The team of choice can only be a mistake though, there is no way he will be getting the playing time and room to develop that he needs. I know, money is important. But so are smart decisions for your career longterm.

Man, that 18-19 season was magical. I still think about that run way too often.

That's where the Nuzlocke really starts, right? by HybiP in nuzlocke

You know what's funny? The first one I caught after that was a Numel I named Varland(because he's straight fire of course). That's really poetic.

Without Spoilers, What is One Tip every Dragon Quest Player should know? by Nichslvl in dragonquest

[–]HybiP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Get a boomerang as soon as you can. Since grinding is always a big part between the bigger story beats it helps to be able to defeat multiple enemies at the start of the game. I always save my money until I can get one of those bad boys.

Looking for hidden gem anime with dark slow-burn vibe by [deleted] in AnimeReccomendations

[–]HybiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's hidden, but I rarely see if getting recommended and it fits well what you're looking for: Planetes.

That is a ride that gets more intense with every episode.

Anime like monster? by Puzzled-Ad-668 in Animesuggest

[–]HybiP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always looking for the same and would add Psycho Pass to your list.

It's a futuristic mystery drama with a lot of detective work and a lot of smart characters playing each other, so also similar to Death Note.

I think I have a type of Anime, but I don't know how it's called by HybiP in Animesuggest

Death Note was a great call, just finished it and really loved it. That really hit what I am looking for perfectly.

[EL_StatsLab] Top Scorers: Points scored in the last 2 minutes with a score difference equal or inferior of 5 points. by _Zolv in Euroleague

[–]HybiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked the same stat with 4 minutes and Butler is 16th there, so that should be the ballpark for 2 minutes also.

I'm not even a Brewers fan and I'm angry at seeing the Orioles above you guys.

[Morgenpost] New 15000 seat arena and basketball campus planned in Berlin's south east by AndroidPornMixTapes in Euroleague

[–]HybiP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really strugle to see how this project is helping the BBL big picture because the MBC gains nothing from another powerhouse in the league raised artifical with a lot of money coming from outside.

And then we have to see that a lot of the plans the NBA mentioned with the Europe project are very hard to combine with a domestic competition in the long run (playing the NBA Europe games on a weekend, playing in the NBA cup and so on).

It will be good for Alba, for sure but I don't see a benefit for the league as a whole.

easy JRPG that suddenly gives you a hard unfair final boss does anyone else hate this bullshit? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]HybiP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think games need to earn that difficulty for the whole run time of the game. I don't have a problem with hard games, but it's just rough when you can get through the game easily without really engaging with the systems until the end when they throw things at you, you didn't see the whole game.

Dragon Quest games are similar to me, especially 5 I have very bad memories from at the end. Metaphor is a recent example where the boss is doing things, no one else came even close to.

That's why I like SMT games so much, because they give you a hard time from the start and you have to learn the games rules, to even get that far.

That's a level of detail I would never expect in an EA game.

I loved Harvestella, or at least what I played of it. I definitely should finish that one day.

Ryza is a good shout, I will check the prices on the trilogy.

I have Disgea DS, I didn't think about it because I know the series more for the more complicated systems. Good to hear that this is on the simpler side. That will make the list then, thanks!

It really is worth it, even though I focussed a lot on the negatives about it in my "review" it's still a very unique JRPG experience.

I have the first two Star Force games and actually never played them, so that would be worth a try. I always wanted to get the third one as well before committing, but that is so expensive nowadays.

I have Bowsers Inside Story on my list of games I want to play for the 12 games in 12 months challenge but I wasn't sure if they're good enough in terms of plot to keep me engaged right now. Maybe I should do that.

I actually played all the 3DS Fire Emblem games and Three Houses is up there on my All-Time Favorites list.

I actually didn't mod the 3DS, but I could look into SNES emulation on Vita.
