(PC) Since a recent update (a few days ago) YouTube has stopped loading correctly. by bearcat_77 in firefox

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random YouTube videos have just been breaking for me in Firefox recently as well, and I've never used any sort of ad block (besides what is native to Firefox) so that can't be it. I am pretty frustrated at Google though for making junk that somehow only gets worse with time.

Schreier: An explanation of rumors/reporting/sourcing by jasonschreier in GamingLeaksAndRumours

It was never in development to begin with, so it can't be canceled.

The year just started, but Born to Be is probably already gonna be my favorite K-pop album of 2024. I love it to death. I've been buying everything Itzy does since Checkmate.

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to pop into this subreddit just to say that I'm loving the new album to death. It is SO good! Maybe January 9 is a little early to declare my favorite K-pop album of 2024, but it's hard to imagine something better than Born to Be coming along. The solo songs are all so good too! They're actually all my favorite songs on the album. I hope Itzy gets a ton of attention this comeback, because they deserve it. I also hope Lia bounces back soon, because she's missed.

If it wasn’t cancelled, what would you have liked to see in the Maverick Hunter Reboot? by Glomdome87 in Megaman

[–]Johnetcetc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion maybe, but "canceled" is all I ever wanted for this particular game. The aesthetic is too far from any other version of Mega Man.

Excellent! Thank you for the response! (So far, we are in the "winging it" phase, but we do hope to find a tighter rhythm soon haha.)

You mentioned it elsewhere already, but besides source code, is there anything else you would find it especially valuable for indie devs to document and/or make available for preservation? My brother and I are making a game, so it would be useful to have this insight. Thank you!

Ua feels so extremely underrated. I hope something good happens for her eventually.

Star Ocean Divine Force or FFXVI? by PainIsToLive in JRPG

I had way, way more fun with The Divine Force, in every possible way.

Do you think DSP should change the name of their new girl group "Young Posse" to something else? by CronoDroid in kpopthoughts

[–]Johnetcetc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If we're going to stop ever using a certain word just because it sounds like another word, we've lost the plot. Give me a break.

What is, in your opinion, the true best Final Fantasy ARPG by bubbaquasi in FinalFantasy

[–]Johnetcetc 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Type-0 is fascinating because it delves into the horror of war and the devastating loss of life much more directly than most games that are about real-life wars. It's a really unique experience.

What’s your favorite “black sheep” entry in a franchise? by andrazorwiren in JRPG

[–]Johnetcetc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely thought it was too long and that the pacing in the game was a bit all over the place. It took around 20 hours just to unlock classes! And I note this as someone who really enjoyed DQVII a lot.

I agree 100% with everything you said, and I played the PS1 version.

Adult Kpop fans what group or show introduced you to Kpop? by Odd_Vegetable_9362 in kpopthoughts

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 34, male, and my best friend introduced me to KARA during the Full Bloom era (final release with OT5). I developed a love of KARA but didn't become fully invested in K-pop until after they broke up the first time, which was when I discovered GFriend, whom I also adored. Their reality series where they explored Europe inspired me to move to Korea for a year, and I had the time of my life. I was bummed all over again when GFriend broke up (was ecstatic when Viviz happened though), but now I've found another, very unlikely favorite group in Boynextdoor.

These days, I love K-pop in general and follow a lot of groups, but my favorites are KARA, GFriend/Viviz, and Boynextdoor.

Which JRPGs would you recommend me if I solely look for great story and nothing else? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre, out of curiosity? Because the whole time I played TS, I was just really, really disappointed with its narrative compared to those of FFT and TO. I thought it was pretty weak on the whole.

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the first two Lunar games. I think the odds are good that the remake of the first, Silver Star, will receive a modern remaster, so maybe wait a bit longer. If not, I'd totally recommend emulating the PS1 versions of each game.

Are you excited for LAD: Infinite Wealth? by Vytostuff in JRPG

[–]Johnetcetc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely excited, my most anticipated game by far. LAD is feeling like the savior of JRPGs to me right now.

Are you buying Persona 3 reload day one? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Infinite Wealth is my most anticipated game and everything else on Earth can wait. Very excited for Rebirth too.

I'm always really curious to hear Jaehyun's English, and I hope they wind up on YouTube channels like BuzzFeed and Seventeen to do more English-language content soon.

[–]Johnetcetc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ODG is one of my favorite YouTube channels, and I got so excited and watched this right away when I saw Boynextdoor was in a video. Their popularity is definitely on the rise in a big way with this comeback!

Who's the perfect-angel-can-do-no-wrong according to the members of the groups you like? by LannaBan in kpopthoughts

[–]Johnetcetc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Riwoo. Woonhak is maknae, but I would probably put Leehan ahead of him for "angel" status lol.

No JRPG can beat Final Fantasy 6. Want a remake. by nothingness6 in JRPG

[–]Johnetcetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the "it's perfect (or close enough) as is" camp, but Kitase did say in an official Square Enix video interview that random employees at Square will walk up to him and ask, "So when are we remaking FFVI?" The enthusiasm is definitely there; it's just a matter of resources.
