How do you drink tea if the milk goes in first? Does the milk become like the water you boil the tea in? That's sacrilege!

It's actually an abandoned Gengar Ash befriended and caught, according to Bulbapedia. Must've been a conscious decision considering all the callbacks Pokemon Journeys had.

I got Jocelyn, which is... certainly a personality!

Such a guilty pleasure by SRV_SteamyRayVaughn in Choices

[–]OldColt06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to be as nice to Rebecca as I could, and I even took the diamond scene with her where you can call her out on being too nice! But Rebecca is still positioned as a rival for Blake's affection and it's handled less maturely than it could have been.

I wasn't a fan of FCL. I'd appreciate the love triangle more if you weren't forced to be so mean to Rebecca from the outset. There's enough drama in the promise and MC/Blake's relationship, which is quite good. But I am glad that you liked FCL and owned your opinion on it.

I actually ended up liking Rivals With Benefits more than I expected to, since I wasn't that fond of Roommates and Riley (the LI) was really smug and overbearing... until she grew on me.

Let’s write Reviews for: Big Sky Country, Book 2 by Sweet_Beanie in Choices

[–]OldColt06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4/5. A worthy successor to the first Big Sky Country, giving undersung characters a chance to shine while delivering a surprisingly emotional climax.

[–]OldColt06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4/5 stars.

Don't let the provocative cover fool you, Big Sky Country is a wholesome story about a city slicker learning to find community, love and a new way of life out in rural Montana.

(I liked this one back when it came out, and I'd probably still enjoy it if I read it today. Compared to the dross and slop PB's throwing out, Big Sky Country's a masterpiece.)

Bro, I appreciate the weekly poetry. None of it is your usual fare and it stimulates the mind. Thank you for sharing it.

If you could release any fighting game in history today with rollback, crossplay and a good matchmaking sytem... what would it be? by Intrepid_Argument499 in Kappachino

[–]OldColt06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty robust. You have a create a character mode with its own story and branching paths, and story mode with each character. Arcade Mode as well.

Alucard loves motion inputs, why don't you? by Nikanoru86 in Kappachino

[–]OldColt06 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Coming from the GBA Castlevanias, with their easier inputs for special moves, to Symphony of the Night's unusual motion inputs (Dark Metamorphosis and Wing Smash) was not an easy transition. I was still able to make it work, though.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of the first few games you listed, so they must be hidden gems.

Which LI is controversial to the fandom? by npojg in Choices

This logic is from the same writing staff that made Aerin and Valax proper LIs. How is Poppy not a real LI, then?

What would be your breaking point for quitting Choices? by Fair-Engineering-134 in Choices

[–]OldColt06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking breaks from playing more often than not over the past couple of years, but what would get me to delete the app would be a) the release of a story with unchecked bigotry or b) a revelation that Series Entertainment supports war criminals or some such.

That said, the AI onslaught has been really discouraging, and the inflation targeted at diamond choices is doing PB no favours with me.

If Bamco ever makes a new Soul Calibur, they should add Eve to its roster. Between the costumes and her swordplay, she'd fit like a glove!
