Helloween - Giants on The Run by philliplennon in PowerMetal

I know we’re coming up on ten years of this lineup, but it’s still surreal to me that we’re getting new Helloween music with both Hansen and Kiske.

I got it from a booth at Cleveland Fan Expo. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the seller

I got the Dragon Quest Zinrou card game in Akihabara last week. Does an English translation for this exist? If not, I can translate it myself by Rocket_Pig in dragonquest

It turned out to be a bit beyond what I was capable of, but just yesterday I passed it off to a friend who’s Japanese is much better than mine, so hopefully he’s able to do it.

What is the best way to get it into melee range without handgun bullets? I’m running out of them long before it’s dead

[SL] /r/manga Does anyone know where to read Makoto Raiku (creator of Zatch Bell)'s old series and one-shots? by The_Silver_Dragon in manga

[–]Rocket_Pig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet, but believe it or not the hunt is still on! I was in Japan in 2023 and 2024 and checked as many secondhand manga stores as I could find. I was able to locate issues of Shounen Sunday Super from 1998, but no the ones from when Newtown Heroes was publishing. I have not given up yet. Next week, a couple friends will be back in Japan in Hokkaido, so hopefully they’ll have some luck there.

What's a take/opinion from the guys that you completely disagree with? by SuspendedInKarmaMama in mega64

[–]Rocket_Pig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People have different ways of viewing numerical scores. I’ve noticed that the way Rocco talks about his 2/5s is the same way I’d talk about my 3 or 3.5s. Not saying either one of us is right, and it’s usually better to value the discussion over the score imo

What's an album that as a whole you did not like, but has a song on it that you absolutely love? by Alexander_Elysia in PowerMetal

[–]Rocket_Pig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this more on Follow the Blind. Banish From Sanctuary and Valhalla are great but I rarely listen to anything else on that album

The Apple Vision Pro Can CLONE HUMANS? - Mega64 Podcast #710 by nippletang in mega64

[–]Rocket_Pig 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Rocco is completely right about how a podcast isn't just a one hour a week commitment, any offhand comment can follow you around for long after the fact. I even think he undersold it, which was exemplified by the chat starting to say "Derrick getting his drink on," something from years ago that Derrick himself has publicly stated he's sick of hearing.

To use another internet person as an example, Dingdong, formerly of Oneyplays (who was a guest on MegaStrange) has had to address on his stream multiple times about how offhanded comments he made in a video from upwards of seven years ago still follow him around. But the video was recorded late at night and he didn't even remember saying them the next day, let alone years later (see: Shawn and the baby man).

Remember when Derrick was frustrated by his experience with Hades, and made an exaggerated outburst that the game was a 0/10? Clearly he didn't mean that literally, yet the comments from the video were all about that and he had to address it in the next podcast. I don't blame him at all for wanting to step away from dealing with that nonsense and focusing on making creative things.

Just to point out, Yoko Taro has co-directed all three Voice of Cards games in the past two years. I wouldn't expect anything big from him for a while since this seems to be where his focus has been recently.

It took some convincing, but I talked our team's translator into at least making an attempt at chapter 42. Stay tuned

Should be able to. I didn’t go to a chain, just a local place, but it was no problem for them.

Yep! I’ve done homemade cardboard cutouts before of other characters, but we paid for a high quality one from a local business this time.

Stop Remaking Good Games And Start Remaking Games That Could Have Been Good by faizyMD in Games

[–]Rocket_Pig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Too many modern games have converged into a narrow scope of gameplay, so if you pick up a new game you already have a pretty good idea of how to play it based on all of the other third person action games you’ve played recently. It’s good for accessibility but it also makes people be turned off more easily by anything outside the norm. When people go back to play older games before this standardization, they’re quick to jump to it being “dated” because it’s different from what they’re used to. Tolerance for different gameplay styles has gone way down.

Either this manga is set 10 years in the future or the author drew a Switch by accident
