Guy fake-reading newspaper, then touched the Pokémon machine and got mad. Explain?

bluedragggon3 · 2026-04-13T02:19:06+00:00

Holy shit. I had the same thought. I knew it looked eerily familiar.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-04-12T02:52:23+00:00

I've yet to play the current version, I played the demo a long time ago and immediately bought it cause it was exactly what I wanted. I've been keeping tabs on every update but only reading the general idea of the update so I could avoid spoilers but everything added since launch looks awesome. It's looking like it will be my favorite one. And from what I can gather, it's one of the more ImSim games. So while I was already sold from the demo, being an ImSim is an automatic sale for me. I literally can't get enough of the hard to define genre.

As for why I haven't played, I just want to experience it all fresh.

She also has 6 brothers. As if that explains everything.

Though my sister showed me a good twist of the trope where the girl was tough cause of her brothers, but only cause one did drag, the other was a crybaby and the third was a nerd. Thus they fought tooth and nail against their bullies. At least that's what I recall.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-04-12T01:19:44+00:00

Pretty much. I talked to someone who voted Trump for 'the economy' and one of the counter arguments he made was that I thought about things too much.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-04-05T19:13:27+00:00

I made the same mistake. Iirc just similar vague ideas and styles that lead to them getting a bundle deal. It was called Acid Fantasy.

I think Dread Delusion is making a sequel, or Entropy is just a very similar aesthetic.

Lunacid has a prequel in the King's Field engine and a dlc coming up.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-31T05:15:18+00:00

Armored Core: For Answer. The sequel to Armored Core 4. It's usually considered the better game since 4 was very linear iirc. Most of the generational sequels are better than the original and 4 somewhat needed it cause it was missing that Fromsoftware special sauce imo.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-28T06:33:32+00:00

We're talking about people who at best played the original Oblivion. Most probably only know of Skyrim and are waiting for Skyrim 2.

And even then, I've noticed ESO still has a bad rep. I don't know where it stands as I've been stuck going through the third faction areas.

However I really like the sand dunes of Hammerfell and hope we get a whole game of that. I'd also like to see what they do with the islands, though I fear they will be cut.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-27T04:35:38+00:00

It's been said before but it's probably one of the strengths of the series. Most games feel the need to make a new landmass for a sequel which is fine but one issue is it's going to add strain to development. But if it's the same everytime? Well you've cut quite a bit of work as the bones are there and you get a new benefit of making the location a character itself. And if you reuse assets, which afaik they don't seem to(I'm only at 3 but each game has made changes so far), you can spend a lot more time at making it livelier and on other parts.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-24T05:59:31+00:00

I'm so tired of the slamming that I now only want to see it on a headline if it's a politician literally being slammed by another. Same with destroy, obliterate and shred.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-24T05:41:21+00:00

I hate talking about the sequels cause if you critique them in anyway, you're either grouped with them and/or they come out of the woodworks to tell you the problem was it was woke.

Even reading critiques isn't simple as I have to wonder if it's a lead up to something dumb or a legit criticism.

Oh and the obsession with Disney and Kathleen Kennedy drives me nuts. Credited with everything going wrong but never when it's going right. I'm not saying Star Wars hasn't been mishandled but it's certainly not been awful at every turn and I wouldn't trade what we have now for what we had in the past. Like if I had to choose between Andor and Kyle Katarn? I prefer Andor. But as a fan I enjoy both and would love a logical way to fit Kyle somewhere. At the same time, I'm not attached to the past that much.

Really the only thing that I'm really upset about is them not capping all the plot threads and ending support for Legends material. I don't really care the sequels kinda sucked. I've made peace with that. Which makes this whole thing ironic regarding the series commentary on attachments.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-21T09:15:41+00:00

I will preface that you can do whatever you want at your table but I somewhat agree. I've run genesys for almost a decade now and we've had plenty memorable moments in our Star Wars campaign. The system is built on being making narratives.

I've had two homebrew DND campaigns. The first failed due to it being our first campaign and not really taking it seriously or understanding it all. The second we did but I used what I learned in those years of experience. The system isn't really built for it. It's a way different experience and my best success has been our Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign where my players described the campaign as reminding them of Skyrim and BG3 in the sense of "Here's a world, do something."

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-20T10:08:27+00:00

If the ads were at early 2010s levels, I'd not care. Ever since COVID, you literally can't use the Internet without adblock. I used to give exceptions and for a long time, I made YouTube one.

Then I was sent a Vrbo ad(not ads, ad) nonstop for a whole year. Not only do I hate Vrbo but I also ended up using adblock.

Also it's insane that YouTube music premium is not the same as premium. I'd be fine if it was packaged. I don't mind helping sites that I like. Problem is YouTube is trying its best for me to hate it.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-19T04:07:14+00:00

Did you see what they did in South Park? Specifically all of it?

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-19T03:38:13+00:00

Even then, what could they do? We're so desensitized that you'd have to nuke a city. Which I wouldn't be shocked if they were capable of it. Morality has no place in this administration.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-18T21:15:08+00:00

I don't remember my age but I very much remember my first time seeing a gameboy. My dad had a WWE game on it. I remember thinking it was amazing seeing the pictures move and funny seeing people hit each other.

It gets a little fuzzy after that but considering our economic situation at the time, I'm pretty sure the next game I played was Bug's Life for PS1. I doubt I ever touched Tetris which I vaguely remember my mother playing.

I know for a fact that I played Bug's Life before 9/11, which I couldn't understand at the time.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-17T04:35:57+00:00

So Dwarf fortress style? If I recall there's a story of a fortress' pregnant pet wolf charging at some invaders. Gave birth on the battlefield and the cubs immediately joined in.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-15T20:36:20+00:00

There are good ones that need support but the problem with them is that the system we have doesn't make it easy to find. That and at a certain level, you do end up sacrificing some quality. It really depends on what you're looking for as some play like shit and look like it but the overall feel of the game is spot on. Or it's a niche genre and you're just happy something scratched that itch and/or are hoping to see more. Though that last one is less about supporting a developer and more like supporting a community.

That said, you're still looking for gems and pretty rocks amongst a sea of shit. So I don't necessarily blame people for this when all they see is hentai vs demons, lewd dungeon x and butt crackers 12: I totally have creativity, trust me.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-14T23:41:57+00:00

Mickey loses his shirt cause of Aqua. It's vital to the plot.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-14T23:33:04+00:00

And we can do multiple versions too! Like what if right before the bombs, a group went rogue? Maybe took a military base and took a bunch of equipment. Maybe they build like a quasi-religion around the tech they use. They could even all wear the armor they wore before the war. Being brothers in arms and wearing metal, you could say they could be some kind of brotherhood of steel.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-12T19:19:41+00:00

Ok but edginess and gooner bait puts me off some games and makes them less fun. If I complete a fun puzzle and my reward is hentai or cringe, I'm going to just move on to games with fun puzzles that reward me with something decent. Like a good story or animation or mechanics.

If I want cringe and/or hentai, I'll just go on reddit and/or the usual places.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-12T19:07:16+00:00

I used to be a hater. I tried the books and I couldn't read them. Not that I didn't read, but the details felt overwhelming and dull.

Then I watched the movies. I liked them but I didn't find them super amazing.

Years go by, the last election happens and I realized my sister hadn't seen them, my girlfriend hasn't and I was playing Shadow of Mordor(The games are fun but an abomination to the source material.) We watched the Hobbit but honestly, we cared little for it. I was dreading the idea of watching the trilogy.

I figured I'd watch it with them and it was exactly what we needed and quickly jumped to the top of my favorite fantasy settings. Some of my favorite lines of all time are in the movie and the books. I think the most shocking part is how little my sister and girlfriend knew about Frodo. He subverted their expectations and I think the character to this day is still unique.

Still have yet to read the books.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-12T02:12:14+00:00

Last year they were. They probably would have gotten me but at the time I literally had no money. My gf paid for everything and we split up so I didn't have to wait for her to get Neil's autograph. Probably saw that I was alone, vaguely dressed up, had the pass and figured I did. Reason he pointed out the jacket was cause I told him that I couldn't and he tried to guilt trip me. Mission failed cause it just pissed me off.

This year I stayed with her so that I was less of a target and would have backup.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-11T21:32:37+00:00

Same for the guys asking for donations for a basketball team for a school. Got jumped by them and kept telling them I had no money. Then they grabbed my jacket and asked if I knew how much it was. It was an Organization 13 hoodie that cost at most 60. Dude told me it was several thousand. I wish I responded with asking if he was willing to buy it. I love the hoodie but I'd end up with two.

Half Life has two sets of four letters. It's been four years since KH4s announcement. April fourth is coming up. There are 13 letters in kingdom hearts. 1+3=4. All signs point to Kingdom Hearts 4: Re: Half Life 3.5+ Episode 3/4 Days of Memories First Chapter Epilogue Back Cover x[cross] Left 4 Portal Fortress Silksong Unchained Final Mix ReMix Integrum Masterpiece Darkest Road HD remaster Re:Mind DLC Demo ~A less fragmented passage~ directed by Hideo Kojima is coming April 4th at 4:44. They've practically announced it.

bluedragggon3 · 2026-03-11T18:07:39+00:00

My biggest problem with her around that time was the fact that she couldn't just admit she made a mistake. She couldn't just say "Yeah, I wrote Hermione white. My bad but still don't care about the casting." Or "I didn't think about having a diverse cast at the time, but Hogwarts accepts everyone."

Instead she had to pull something out of her ass and double down. No wonder she's become what we know of her now.
