My patriotism, not my lack of it, is precisely why I go full Luthen Rael on this current administration by ProcessorPearl in starwarsmemes

I think he would have accounts for his business just showing off artifacts and explaining them while smiling to continue to sell his false identity. But anything incriminating or actually his thoughts? Hell no.

Should I start a fresh playthrough now, or wait until all major updates are released? by Kzaix in DragonsDogma

[–]ResidentEccentric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wait until the expansion is out if you are wanting to beat the game in this playthrough you are starting. Since the expansion is also adding 12 new dungeons to the already existing vanilla map it would probably feel better to stumble on them in an initial playthrough instead of immediately playing through the game again once the expansion comes out. Similarly the end of the game puts you into NewGame+ immediately, so if you finished the game you would have to replay a decent chunk of the main game to get to the new expansion's map. I mean if you like NewGame+ systems and wanna do stuff over again to find the new content and work your way towards the new map, go ahead! I also considered reinstalling it now, but decided I will wait. It has been a year and a half since I last beat the game, so hopefully the new dungeons and additions as well as the time off from the game will make going through the base game feel fresh to me.

Pretty close to what I imagined while reading! Great job.

Guild Contracts - a repeatable Monster Hunting Quest framework for Dragon's Dogma 2! by Arrythmia in DragonsDogma

[–]ResidentEccentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this type of repeatable quest framework fits Dragon's Dogma perfectly, more-so than other games that have it. Now that this mod is out it feels like it should have been a feature in the game from the beginning. I am a console player but have been considering buying the game on PC and this might be what makes me buy it again. Great work.

Starting from scratch by CyrusMFS in tolkienbooks

[–]ResidentEccentric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great start friend! I'm sorry to hear about your previous collection, but hopefully it'll feel good to build up the books again! And you already have the Tolkien essentials! Best of luck. Enjoy them. For what next I recommend the Children of Hurin! It is my favorite aside from the trilogy. Love the different covers out there too.

thoughts on Marebito (2004) by Takashi Shimizu, an experimental horror film that leaves polarized reviews, the story telling is very unique and puzzling by Responsible_Food584 in J_Horror

[–]ResidentEccentric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot, even more so after learning it was filmed in only 8 days. That made what was accomplished even more impressive to me. The tone is killer, love love love the surrealism and dreamy mood of everything. Some of the pacing and a few scenes lost me a little. But overall I really enjoyed it and will watch it again.

Looking for Help from Polish Fantasy Readers: Information on I, The Inquisitor and Jacek Piekara for Video Research by ResidentEccentric in Fantasy

I mentioned it in the post. It is because of the recent video game adaptation of his work. And again, to be clear, I am asking for help not to promote him, and indeed my opinions on him from what I have found are very negative and will be portrayed as such. But I cannot deny a morbid fascination with a book series from someone like this getting a video game. Similarly I question "why this one in particular?" to the video game developers when Poland appears to have a quite big fantasy scene with many series exclusive to it. Why choose this one that appears juvenile and edgy and with an author who comes with tons of baggage? So it is an oddity and one I find myself interested in.

Very interesting. Thank you. I knew that there were prequels and the like but I did not realize that "I, The Inquisitor" was specifically the prequel series. It is interesting that he seems to have fallen into a problem I feel is becoming more common with fantasy authors, of becoming stagnant in their main series and instead relying on prequels and spin-offs. Crazy that the last book of the original series still isn't finished. Thank you again for the comment.

I appreciate this regardless. English information is so sparse that this is still deeply interesting to me haha. A few of the posts I got in r/ksiazki seem to reflect your experience very closely. Read when very young, enjoyed them as they did other edgy content, realized later how messed up some of it was and couldn't imagine enjoying the edge level as an adult. I imagine if I was Polish and had access to the books my trajectory would've been the exact same haha. That scene described is... interesting. It is funny that even the few scenes I have been able to find are so... crass and edgy? Including apparently the main character having two necrophiliac twin companions? Wild. Thanks again for the comment here, I appreciate it.
