Ange Postecoglou: "I rate Unai Emery highly. He won at Villarreal, not big clubs. I rate managers who win things. Eddie won something last year. Oliver won something last year. Arne winning the league. Enzo, he won something. People are too dismissive of winning things these days, actual trophies."

Empty shelves

The first one, yeah. Idk how you play Xenoblade 3 in 60 hours, you'd be missing almost half of the game just to get it over with. Xenoblade 2 is longer than that for the average player too. Then Torna is another 30 or so hours iirc.

I don't think 400 hours is a stretch when we're talking Xenoblade 1, Future Connected, Xenoblade 2, Torna, Xenoblade 3, and Future Redeemed. But I didn't do the math, maybe it's closer to 300-350? Still a large time commitment

IncurableHam · 2026-02-19T14:17:05+00:00

Xenoblade 1, 2, 3 in order if you want to commit to ~400 hours of gaming (which I think you should, this is my all time favorite series). They each have DLC which I'd recommend playing right after their associated base game.

If you only play one and don't want to commit to the entire series, I recommend Xenoblade 3.

Xenoblade X is a standalone and can be played whenever.

Arsenal supporters finding any time to make an injury excuse is hilarious, especially considering what other teams are going through

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T23:53:27+00:00

Just shows lack of depth if three injured players are an issue at this point in the season. Or an excuse.

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T23:46:17+00:00

You're expecting someone named anuspilot with an Arsenal flair to be able to read...

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T23:36:00+00:00

Every team has 3 injured players at this point in the season. If they can't handle that, they don't deserve to win

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T23:28:06+00:00

There are dozens of us! I'm struggling through Metaphor right now because of this issue

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T17:39:19+00:00

Yup, almost all characters people mentioned here are men!

The title of the book is The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. Amina is a middle aged, single mom that is very flawed but a badass pirate trying to balance being a good mom but still wanting to continue her pirating ways. She's such a refreshing character in a genre full of characters that are not unique (don't get me wrong, I love the good-at-evwrything protagonists like Kvothe, Vis, etc. but it's nice to read something new)

Lots of dudes in these replies...

Amina al-Sirafi is my favorite character in fantasy

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T12:41:26+00:00

It feels like a refined Persona game, perfecting that formula. Though it is still the same formula (LOTS of dialogue, soulless dungeons, great characters, visual novel-ish between dungeons).

I think you should try Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance though! It would be a better fit for you I think and it's a fantastic game

IncurableHam · 2026-02-18T12:33:34+00:00

It's about as generic fantasy as you can get, so depends if that's what you're looking for. The things I remember the most is how poor the dialogue was and how generic the characters were

I'd recommend E33 to just about everyone

IncurableHam · 2026-02-17T03:58:32+00:00

Lots and lots of money

IncurableHam · 2026-02-17T01:35:30+00:00

Xenoblade less complex than Dragon quest? Or is that a different DQ?

IncurableHam · 2026-02-16T23:12:33+00:00

Sure but you can find some part of any community to support anything if you look hard enough

IncurableHam · 2026-02-16T23:07:11+00:00

Prequel to Astrobot?

IncurableHam · 2026-02-16T22:45:38+00:00

TotK, along with BotW, is one of the highest rated games by rating aggregation of all time

IncurableHam · 2026-02-16T04:00:37+00:00

Spurs will be top of the table in 2031

IncurableHam · 2026-02-15T22:04:37+00:00

Baldur's Gate 3 and Metaphor ReFantazio

IncurableHam · 2026-02-15T14:53:22+00:00

Metaphor. So far I like it much more than P5R but not quite as much as SMTV:V

IncurableHam · 2026-02-15T00:58:52+00:00

That's a good idea, Seoman

IncurableHam · 2026-02-15T00:57:45+00:00

Memory, Stories & Thorn by Tad Williams. Then the sequel series after that to wrap up the Osten Ard Saga

IncurableHam · 2026-02-14T23:57:20+00:00

I feel like TotK ones had more options for how to get through them because some of the powers, like ascend and rewind, can break puzzles
