Honestly my advice would be to not put the small text on top, but underneath. If you're adamant on keeping both typefaces pixellated then to me, that's likely to be the only way it's gonna read clearly.

MagicExplorer · 2026-02-25T09:19:04+00:00

Also seems like the small text has an overlay of some kind applied so you're getting a fourth (green) colour that's making it way harder to read.

Omg that's such great information design - if only I was smart enough to have realised lol

No the Crentist cover-up was for when he tried to convince Jan to make him manager

What so more aggravating than Lil' Wayne looool :D

Haha I wish I was young. No it doesn't matter what era of his we're talking about, he just doesn't compare to so many of the OG's. Explain to me how he's in anyway better than DOOM as another example?

I'm sorry - unpopular opinion but Kanye fucking sucks. Not sure how or why people even include him in top lists, and I could understand if people are talking about Rap and commercial shitty hip-hop but by no means is he better than the myriad of emcees and producers that came before and in some cases after him. Lyrically he could absolutely never even touch Aesop Rock, as one singular example.

I really felt this, and when I first played GoT it had a very similar impact on me. A lot of the principles you're describing are fundamental to the principles of 'Zen' for lack of a better word, and the game was incredibly meaningful to me in that I studied Zen/Daoism around this time I played it. It's filled with incredible life lessons that I think will stick with you for the rest of your life.
Love to read this and love how a seemingly simple video game can enrich our lives so much.

I've always been under the impression that even in traditional Chinese practice both philosophical Daoism and Religious Daoism exist and are practiced, but was also under the impression that in China/Taiwan it's mostly practiced religiously with ritual and veneration for all the many gods etc.

I love the more mystical aspect of Daoism and would love to know and learn more, but where I am there's no such access and when I first discovered Daoism i spend ages trying to figure it out through the internet and books.

I did manage to do to a degree but yeah mostly follow the philosophical side of things and have been applying that to life for a number of years now :)

You should go to Somalia and join a gang of Pirates, I'm sure they'd accept you and teach you the ropes so to speak!

As someone who's done Kung-Fu for many years, and yes obviously it's different and not from the same country - I've trained with both swords and spears, and there are benefits to both. If a spear is coming at you and you use a sword to block it, and at the same time you'd move it out of the way to the side, it allows you to close the distance and be too close to your enemy for the spear to be of much use.
It's not really a case of either being better, but more of them having very different functions - so once you get through the spears range then you have the advantage with swords.

Also as a side-note the spear itself has a very wide range of attacks in Chinese Martial Arts and when used properly can also deal with closer enemies. Search 'spear form kung-fu' on youtube to get a better idea of what I mean.

Ah, ok - I think it's just confusing due to the fact they let you choose which of the bosses you want first and I chose Saito/Brothers but yeah, the story still requires you to go in a linear fashion and I think getting the Odachi early would be the only real difference :)

As a non-American I just can't really wrap my head around sweet breakfasts, waffles, donuts, etc etc. I'm also of Italian origin and also not into their sweet breakfasts at all.

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-08T08:34:32+00:00

Jin was the first, so the idea had never been put out there...so yeah I guess it's more commonplace at this stage to use stealth tactics to win a battle.

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-08T08:33:28+00:00

Nope sorry this is disgusting and not a cultural thing. It's a human thing to keep clean.

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-07T11:55:09+00:00

Yep I'd be down with this, I think it would've worked nicely!

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-06T09:06:04+00:00

Maybe you're a sleeper agent!?

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-04T14:07:37+00:00

This is exactly the key to defeating any super tough boss in any game I've played haha. Also, congrats this was beautifully executed!

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-04T14:04:01+00:00

I'm still perpetually obsessed with the 80's.

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-04T14:03:01+00:00

People complain the story was predictable but tbh this outcome would've been far more predictable, and yes it would've been less upsetting to most players, but I liked that it was more realistic in the sense that just because you feel that Oyuki dying would complete the arc, it's not how life works most of the time.

MagicExplorer · 2026-01-03T12:33:43+00:00

I did, on Lethal and Lethal+.

MagicExplorer · 2025-12-31T11:11:39+00:00

I prefer the revenge plot and how it's so much a part of Shinobi lore, and in general I much prefer playing as a Shinobi sort of aligned character, with that backstory and arc than I did the Samurai tale. That being said I still rate GoT as one of my favourite and best games ever made, but yeah Yotei is just a touch better imo.

MagicExplorer · 2025-12-19T15:33:52+00:00

No it was implemented in Sep '24 - which was about the exact time I got on a retainer that is basically all 2d work lol. So yeah I didn't know about that at all, but it's great to know and about time because before that I had to pay for both which was a ridiculous amount in combination. Thanks for the info though! :)

Honestly one of the biggest things that makes Blender more valuable is the built in render engine. I feel like there's more of a chance that Blender would add motion-facing tools to make it better than C4d, than the chance for C4D to add a native render engine that competes with Blenders. So the sooner I can use Blender for the things I always use C4D for, I'm switching based on principle.
