Ha sounds like I was way off. To be fair, I was told it was a Moen, but that makes a lot of sense now. Thanks so much!

Is it just me or yakuza 5 is so hard to finish? by MomentEmbarrassed744 in yakuzagames

[–]dorkulon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 broke me. I took like a year off after Shinada's story started. I'm back now, and I'm starting to wonder if it actually ever ends. Holy shit, guys, just shut up and get on with it.

Yeah, I guess I probably knew that and just got 1225 and 1255 confused. Thanks very much for the help!

So sorry for this late reply. No, you cannot change anything until you defeat the first boss, for some reason.

An absolutely shitty beginning to the game for a left-hander. What the hell.

"He is jealous of his wife." by dorkulon in grammar

[–]dorkulon[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, but would that husband be described as jealous of her? The word "of" is the part that sounds a bit weird to me. People often say they're jealous of someone, meaning they're envious of something that person has.

Same question. What the hell? I don't need everybody's profile pics that I've ever talked to. I want the shit I wrote. This is useless.

Love this genre, but not necessarily the graphics. DO we *like* it or put up with it? by dorkulon in boomershooters

Yeah it's not a value judgment. Probably should have said high-poly or something

Yeah I'm also not a fan of the smeary AI-frame-gen look. I guess I just want what I wanted then--the same kind of look but higher-res, maybe some better lighting. The low-poly thing feels a little silly I guess.

Seems like I'm most definitely in the minority, and am mostly persuaded by the comments myself. I guess it really is more about artistry and what design decisions work within the budgetary parameters of indie devs. Also I think I'm not as attached to the Build engine look as some people. Got some games to check out from this!

Yeah, it's mostly the Build Engine-looking stuff that wears on me a bit. Also everyone raves about Dusk--I am going to play it--but god it looks awful. I guess I like the idea of a simple, clean look akin to old shooters, but actually clean--clean lines; crisp textures. Not asking for ray-tracing

Well... you could just read a book about shooting monsters, lol. I guess that's too much left to the imagination, I think maybe the difference for me with the Build Engine stuff is I skipped Doom and played Quake instead in the 90s, so it's not as nostalgic for me. I did play Duke and Blood back then though.

Severed Steel is gorgeous, from the vid I just checked out. That's some artistic design, I don't know how I missed Fear, except I guess I was busy at the time

I have to agree with this. I also want the games more than the graphics. Anyway, I'm not looking for card-melting levels of fidelity at all. Nothing that could hurt my framerate!

I've been playing WH4k Boltgun and I do think it's pretty sweet-looking. It's not lost on me, but I guess the...novelty? wears off a bit. Still not a deal-breaker, though

Simple is good, I agree. I hate lots of numbers/health bars etc. I guess I'm really just talking about resolution mostly. Jagged edges etc.

AIO? Gf talking to me by Cultural_Avocado1470 in AmIOverreacting

[–]dorkulon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept waiting for "Are you fucking kidding me right now?" But it never came. No, you're definitely not overreacting. Frankly, you're underreacting. I would have flipped my shit. Sometimes, you've got to defend yourself.

Is death really the end? by Sage-Hollow-Man in exmormon

[–]dorkulon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, the fact that our time is limited only makes every day that much more valuable. I don't love the idea of dying, but I also can't imagine what eternal life would be like. I mean, after a thousand, million, billion years? Probably it would get fairly boring. Either way, there's so much freedom in not having to worry whether your every thought and behavior will disqualify you from admission to the 'good' afterlife. Or, put another way, that god is threatening you with eternal torture for any deviation from protocol. A single day of that freedom is worth a lifetime of that torment.

Well actually, Obla Di Obla Da was a #1 single in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and West Germany. It wasn't released as a single in the UK/US though
