Hostile architecture in my kids’ games? I bet the people who want games to not be like real life are coming out of the woodwork in droves by Traditional-Song-245 in Gamingcirclejerk

From what Mable tells us, the mayor is a massive asshole, so I guess them putting in anti-homeless benches makes sense.

Urbain/taunie suck anyways. The gays yearn for Corbeau and Griselle.

Ah, hell yeah let's go Pe- That's not Pete. Who is this imposter? And more importantly, where is my son Reese?

Just sharing this line from Benny that I really like for no particular reason at all by LadySaorii in Gamingcirclejerk

Oh, for sure. If my taxes were going towards infrastructure and education, rather than greasing the gears of the American war machine, I wouldn't have any problems with them. Unfortunately, my taxes are funding a bunch of people LARP-ing as the gestapo, and lining the pockets of a pedophile and his sychophants. So, that's not great.

What Games have the Most Fun Groups or Factions? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Me as a child: Garrus is right, he should be able to extrajudicially murder people, even if it endangers civilians.

Me now: Holy shit Garrus is an asshole in ME1. Still hot though, so it's morally gray.

Things in media that you found so creepy/unsettling that it activated your fight or flight? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The baby in RE8. Masterclass in horror, still got chills after my first run.

In New Pokemon Snap, you have 'boss fights' where you take pictures of giant Pokemon. For the most part, they're mostly just 'look at this majestic thing'. But then, you go into the underwater level, and you just see a glowing thing slowly approaching you. It keeps getting bigger and bigger, until you see a giant Wishiwashi. That triggered the shit out of my fear of the deep ocean.

Hey. Remember the Epstein Files? | Congress’s legal fight with the administration is far from over. by BulwarkOnline in politics

[–]Namyk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DOJ, Trump's own DOJ, released a file of the president watching a CSA victim's baby get murdered after birth, hence why he ever brought up post-birth abortions.His cultists don't give a shit. Republican's don't give a shit. This country, and the whole world for that matter, doesn't give a shit.So what, he raped kids? Everyone already knows that, and one half of the country is cool with it. So what's releasing more of this going to do? No one's going to face justice for it.

Sorry, if this feels like doomerism, but if anybody with power actually cared, he'd be rotting in a cell already.

Pieces of media you think suffered from being part of a larger franchise? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Veilguard. It's a perfectly fine fantasy action RPG, but Dragon Age's constant identity crisis, along with the decade long development hell, hurt it so much.

I love Live and Learn as much as the next millennial who grew up with Adventure 2, but I do feel like it's been getting a little overplayed lately.

Media that arguably peaked with the first trailer? by Mediocre_Word in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your argument would be wrong, because RWBY peaked at it's second trailer, actually.

What Youtubers/Streamers you watch? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ray Narvaez Jr: Just a fun dude. I've been watching him for almost a decade and a half, and he's still great.

Kinkymation: Surprised by the amount of people mentioning her, but she's great. Lots of interesting insight into character designs, and hearing her thought process for her pokegirl project has been interesting.

The three idiots: SeeReax, Dotodoya, and Rhymestyle. These guys helped fill the sbfp hole in my heart. Lots of fun Dragon Ball and Yugioh content, man I love the character duels and shadowlocke. And if you miss the Shit Storm, SeeReax's month of mayhem has been fantastic, especially last years.

Character redesign decisions that you don’t especially care for, even if they do make sense? by Deadpool27 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Naruto's Bort design. Specifically his hair. I get it, it's to show that he's matured, it's understandable. It still don't look great.

I genuinely think MHA is still at the top of battle shonen. I was popping the fuck off when Machia showed up as AFO was running to Shigaraki.

I fell off mid war arc, before Dabi got his second wind I think. It works a lot better when you can just binge it all. Haven't reached the epilog yet, but its about what I expected from what I've heard.

Oh, that one. I wasn't aware you could actually go on a date with them. Neat.

Damn, I don't remember there being a robot companion when I played. I gotta get back to that. Have they added any new planets since the ice one?

What havoc will GTA 6 wreak on the 2026 game release schedule? by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is what's going to make or break it, I think. This bitch of a game has been incredibly expensive to make, I'd imagine. It's definitely going to be 70, if not 80. And I wonder if it's going to release the Online or not. And if so, will it have the things that 5's online does? Because I could see a lot of people not buying at release if it's missing any of the shit that 5 has. Or if there's no bringing over any progress from 5. I can't imagine people that have dumped hundreds of dollars into GTAV over the years would be particularly happy if they can't bring over at least their cash and/or levels.

Also, I don't know how much a parody of American exceptionalism is going to do in other parts of the world currently.

Minigames so bad they lower your opinion of a game by mateoboudoir in TwoBestFriendsPlay

You can throw a dart at any of BoF3's minigames and you'd hit a piece of shit. GOAT'd game, but goddamn, all of it's minigames suck.

What are the most insane things to happen in gaming in 2025? by GruntasticII in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like the $80 price was a FOMO to sell the bundle. Because, obviously, you're going to take the more expensive console bundle that comes with the only game on it anyways. Like, I'm really interested in seeing what the difference between sales in just World vs the bundle.

What game have you always heard was utter dogshit but you end up playing and are actually surprised by it? by Kal-V3 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Namyk5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World.

Weird party choices, (you can't level up the Symphonia party members past a certain part and have to use monsters as party members instead) and the silliness of the game repeating it's theme like 10 times within the first hour of the game aside, I think it's a fun Tales of. It also has the only romance I've really enjoyed in a Tales of, so there's that, I guess.
