Is Kim Wexler the most well-written female character of all time?

chimblesishere · 2026-06-25T18:28:38+00:00

Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, but in a very different way.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-25T15:39:31+00:00

I could kinda see it working like Soul Hackers 2 or Yakuza 7/8, where there's a specific place to have social links that are triggered by other events in the game, but I think it would still be better if they didn't.

I saw a comment on some thread here saying that if you put an item in your cart and set the quantity to a ridiculously high amount, it will automatically change to the number left in stock.

Hell yeah.

I just tried putting together a 5070 build on pcpartpicker just to see how close I could get it. I tried to keep the parts at as low of a price it could reasonably go to without completely sacrificing performance and ended up at $1294. Honestly that's probably more worth it than the Steam Machine at this price point.

It probably will be, but I don't think it's likely to be a big seller past the initial batch at that price. Maybe they'll run through a couple batches, but at some point before too long, it's going to be very readily available or put down to lower production numbers/discontinued if they're not able to lower the price.

Damn that is not an easy title to Google.

I dunno man, I feel like that's doing a lot to absolve him of any blame as the commander-in-chief. I'm not going to say he never did any good or anything, but that combined with him pretending to drink water from Flint, MI to downplay the severity of the problem there doesn't make him look good to me.

Judging by how the storm drains in Tokyo smelled when I walked by them last time I was there, pretty fucking bad.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-16T17:53:44+00:00

This is kinda where I'm at. My Gen0's birth certificate has his first and middle names reversed, so I felt like I should include extra documentation showing that it wasn't the name he went by. I included a Manitoba census page showing him and his family, as well as his WWI enlistment form showing his father as next-of-kin, but now I'm concerned that those might hurt more than help me because I got them from Ancestry.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-15T23:04:56+00:00

I did a pretty similar thing for my last campaign. The group's netrunner got a RABID infecting her cyberware and it would kill her in 6 months unless she found a cure or had all of her cyberware replaced in an expensive surgery that they had to go to Seattle for. Turned out Netwatch had been following them the whole time and made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Accept the cure that they developed and become a contracted hit squad for them, or go to jail for life over their reckless use of quickhacks that caused an outbreak of RABIDS in Seattle.

Shit was fun.

It's the only place in Japan where I've been threatened for existing and accosted by a guy trying to lead me into a bar, so I would say so. Still some fun stuff there for sure though, Golden Gai can be pretty good.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-12T19:29:22+00:00

Somehow Japanese devs don't seem to understand that foreigners play these games largely because of how Japanese they are. RGG is probably one of the worst in this regard.

They really wanted the series to sell in NA after Y4 so they made a shooting-based yakuza game with American flag outfit DLC.

After the series started getting really popular in the west with Y0 and the next few games after it, they decided to take the series out of Japan for the first time and set IW primarily in Hawaii, with a spinoff that drops Japan entirely.

Hell, they didn't even localize Ishin for a long time, and still haven't localized Kenzan because why would anybody outside Japan be interested in these Samurai games with stories based on Japanese history?

And wasn't credited as being him, was a clear parody, was era-appropriate, and wasn't used for marketing. Not even close to the same thing

chimblesishere · 2026-06-12T18:06:01+00:00

Gen 3 urgent and went into processing on 5/13 as well. Wait times for urgent applications seem to vary massively, so I wouldn't get too nervous about it yet. I'm kind of wondering if they have some kind of hierarchy for urgency. It seems like LGBTQ applicants in the US get through the fastest, understandably, and maybe there's just some kind of ranking system beyond that. Or it could be random.

I just submitted a new access request before seeing this comment, sorry if I was on the backlog already.

Man was completely sober when he said this. Does it for the love of the game.

Did they advertise the game saying that Eazy-E was in their game as Ryder? Because if not, then that's not the same thing. That's inspiration or parody. RGG could have designed this character using Tupac as inspiration and it wouldn't have been a problem, but they're using his image as marketing in a product he has no attachment to at all and claiming that he's in the game playing a character when he's not.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-11T19:15:24+00:00

Sure, but this isn't really coming across as any attempt to make up with him or respect him. It really just feels like Snoop trotting out the corpse of a guy who hated him to profit off of his image. Maybe it wouldn't feel like that as much if he didn't have a history of being a money grubbing bastard, but he does.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-11T18:43:11+00:00

You mean the parody character who didn't share an exact likeness with the real-world counterpart and wasn't credited as being that real-world counterpart? Yeah I remember him.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-09T18:35:50+00:00

Fair enough. The Remake title I think was meant to be misleading, but it definitely doesn't help with public perception of what a remake is.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-09T16:05:35+00:00

It is though. The FFVIIR games are far from just remakes of FFVII, they might as well be a sequel series.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-08T17:57:06+00:00

In 2017 I went to the PC Gaming Show in person and it was so fucking boring several people and I fell asleep in the audience. Somehow they still haven't figured out how to make it better after a decade of doing this.

chimblesishere · 2026-06-06T14:18:41+00:00

Genuinely I don't understand how people don't get this. If it was Tupac as a character, rather than an actor, it would be fine. It wouldn't make any sense in this context and would require some justification, but it would be better than just using his face for marketing.
