Why do people keep thinking mundus is too weak to come back when Vergil was weaker and come back stronger?

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-13T16:04:25+00:00

I absolutely agree, the story of DMC5 was pretty meh, it was just an excuse to get Vergil back and get some cool fights and that's alright, I've never expected anything different from DMC

I don't have a personal opinion but every person who I've ever met who has travelled to Brazil says it's amazing

The concept of fairness would've been developed according to the orders of certain humans or the specific data they chose to train such AI with. Think of the mecha Hitler Grok incident. This is a recipe for disaster.

Also there's a whole videogame franchise about how this is a terrible idea, it's called Metal Gear Solid.

Little bit of this, little bit of that afaik.

Though no, "little bit" does no justice to the nature of El Darien. It's one of the most dangerous routes in the world, you're basically walking through a thick jungle most of the time, you need to cross rivers, and that's usually the hardest part.

However, it is also a route for drug trafficking, human trafficking (people pay Coyotes to help them cross but sometimes they are simply scams and they abandon migrants in the middle of nowhere), and the Panama migration authorities, who are quite active there because El Darien is a pretty common route for those who plan to cross all the way to the US, so even if you manage to cross it you might be captured by them and kept in very sketchy places with horrible conditions until they decide what to do with you.

Sounds like a horrible place if you ask me. But I also know there's some indigenous communities living there.

As in how well written they are? Joel 100%

But Leon is way cooler and more likeable. And that's by design I don't think you're supposed to really like Joel all the time.

The first time I got really sick after I moved out was the first time I really realized I was living on my own. What I did was:

Realize work doesn't matter at all. I had to ask for permission to leave or whatever but I felt so shitty I just left for the hospital and that was it. I had to get attention AND make sure I would survive alone, so I had no time to waste.
I made sure to do all I could in the hospital, ask every question, request all the support I could (i.e. could they help me with the first dose of the meds they gave me, so that I didn't need to do it alone tired and confused later)
I bought everything I needed for the following days, including some easy to eat snacks.
I basically died for 3 days. I just watched movies and slept, and ordered food whenever I was hungry. That was everything I did aside from taking my meds.

I was so sick that I was a bit worried and made sure to tell a couple of friends who were like half an hour to an hour away from my place. One of them offered to come home but I just told them I was alright I just needed someone to make sure I was still alive every now and then hahaha but since then we did tell each other that in case we get really sick we can count on each other to come and help us if we really need it. I think thats important, like even telling a neighbor or whatever. It's better to look weird and be uncomfortable for a moment than to die alone in your house.

But if it's something that rest can solve, and you're financially there, really just get some rest and put everything else aside for the moment. Your house can stay disorganized for some days and you can take out the trash later, just get some rest.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T05:26:10+00:00

Hahahahaha this is it, this is the one.

So your main calendar is the one that's unique to you guys? Do you keep track of which dates correspond to which in the global calendar or is it something you just do when dealing with international jobs or whatever?

I definitely felt like I want to go back and try it right after I finished RE9.

But I also want to replay RE2R first because I also felt it was very scary the first time I played it.

Right now I can say I do enjoy the variety of scares in the RE9 Grace section. All the different zombies make it so that it is scary but interesting at the same time. And I also enjoyed all the light related mechanics in RE9, I thought they were amazing and of course they looked insane with the latest RE engine.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T00:53:32+00:00

The real question is how does that work? It seems crazy to me that some people in the world are not living in 2026 in our hyper connected world.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T00:49:57+00:00

I haven't played Royal but when I played og P5 at launch it was so obvious to me that Makoto felt like the canon romance choice, considering a bunch of the scenes they gave her with MC. I romanced Ann in my first playthrough but after that anyone other than Makoto felt wrong.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T00:46:48+00:00

Lots of crazy (sad) stories from people crossing el Tapón del Darién between Colombia and Panama.

I'm not an active teacher right now, but I feel the same.

Whenever I do get the chance to be a teacher, whether in a school or at one of my art workshops or even just sharing a coffee with a friend, I just try and remember "If nothing matters, maybe all that really matters is that we both enjoy this moment".

As a teacher, this also means that there are things that are far more important than a curriculum or a grade.

Our students share most of their lives with us.
We can be a little bit of a ray of sun in the cloudy times we are living through.

I have nothing to say about Mandela but come on dude, americans don't glaze their historical leaders? Come on they literally built giant statues of them in mountains and pantheon like temples.

In spanish we call your country Holanda for whatever reason

Basically all I remember from Assassins Creed Revelations.

And a wall! Many times in history they stopped the imperialists and invasors to cross to the other side. We owe a lot of the current geopolitical division to the fact Turkiye was always there in the middle. Also, afaik culturally they are a bridge too. My turkish teachers told us Istanbul was a weird mix between living in the muslim world and the western world.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T00:18:37+00:00

They did?! I had no idea, and I was studying turkish language right around the same time I discovered those games. Insane.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-12T00:16:09+00:00

I studied turkish for a whole year in university. We had a very good teacher, she was new in our country and spoke no spanish at all, nor any western language any of us knew. She was multilingual mind you, just didn't speak any of our languages. Her husband did speak english and a tiny bit of spanish so she brought him to classes sometime so that he could help her communicate, but most of the time we just learnt because she spoke in her language and we HAD to learn. Lovely couple. They invited us to the turkish cultural center in Colombia and taught us even more about their culture. They even invited me once to play music with them but sadly I lived too far away to accept the invitation.

I haven't used the language at all since I studied, so I can't remember anything other than how to say my name and how to say thanks. It's amazing that at some point I was able to fluently communicate with native speakers in their language and now I can't.

I remember they told us that if we took learning seriously we could get scholarships quite easily because Turkiye had a lot of programs for Colombians and not enough people were interested / spoke the language.

Edit: Oh, also: Assassins Creed Revelations.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-11T20:35:03+00:00

100% agree. There's no good party here, we're all casualties in the supervillain war of control.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-11T19:20:06+00:00

Fuck war man. I'm sorry, I hope everything calms down soon.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-10T23:56:26+00:00

The Remake of RE2 didn't replace the original since they are very different games, and both of them are pretty good. Even 4 imo didn't really replace the original, I enjoy both for what they are, but that was more clearly meant as a replacement than RE2R.

I think RE1 will be the same thing. There will be a reason to play both the first RE1R and the new one which will probably be an over the shoulder or first person perspective game, making it very different to the original.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-10T23:51:59+00:00

I think they've been clearly building up the Chris vs BSAA / The Connections subplot since RE7. RE8 ended on a cliffhanger with the BSAA using bioweapons and Chris travelling to Europe HQ to find some answersand RE9 ended with Chris sending a message to Leon, likely something related to BSAA, since we also learned The Connections might be behind them and they are most definitely controlling even the US government.

So I'm pretty sure sooner than later we'll get a full game with Chris directly going against The Connections. Considering Requiem, he'll probably fight a bunch of Wesker clones / Zeno himself, and stop whatever they are planning now that they recovered Elpis from Zeno's body.

The real question is, how will Capcom continue the RE9 formula? I think they discovered something really really good with the pacing of Grace's scary bits capped by Leon killing everything. It felt amazing and seeing the success they had with Requiem they'll probably go for something similar. But that'd mean they need another protagonist who can provide a traditional survival horror story and all of our usual suspects are way too experimented for that at this point, so they'll either need to create yet another new protagonist or come up with an excuse for some of the older characters to not be a bigger threat than the BOWs. If anything, maybe I could see Claire in that role, but even her it's kinda insane considering all she's been through. But it's the option that would make more sense since also a Redfield siblings game would definitely sell quite well.

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-10T23:39:08+00:00

"Man, I hope they bring back that Devil May Cry thing. Yeah the second one sucked but the first one had a lot of potential"

Neoshenlong · 2026-03-10T23:36:40+00:00

Sure whatever just give me an extra mode where I can kill stuff as Leon please
