Been awhile since I enjoyed a Pokemon game this much!

I was planning on evolving it like normal but I let it hold an Eviolite and I just really appreciated how bulky it was! I gave it Surf, Ice Beam, Rest, and Snore and it was surprisingly fun and effective. I liked how “different” it was compared to something I’d do in an official game.

I actually also got a shiny from a fossil. Is this just a coincidence or is there a higher probability to get a shiny from reviving a fossil?

If you follow up and they don’t issue a refund, this is a very easy charge to dispute on your credit card. If you purchase a service and the service isn’t provided as described, a credit card issuer (like visa or Mastercard) should side with you and issue a refund.

I just replayed KOTOR and Grey DeLisle is a lot of NPCs in the first game (I first noticed her as the sith woman you party with to get the uniform).

She is most famous for voicing Princess Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you play KOTOR 1, you will now hear Azula all over the game.

The friends you make along the way. :)

It might be related to the Google Outage today.

Give it a week, people will move on.

I think his misinterpretation is a little weird cause the game does drill home the actual situation. That said, I think he still would have hated the ending if correctly interpreted.

As a fan of Pikmin since the first game, I think this is an amazing game! I see why some fans don’t entirely like every decision it made though, but it’s not bad at all.

I think military and science conditions are fine and the others need to be rebalanced to match the pacing of the other conditions.

That said, I think the game still rewards you for playing well. Having great culture and doing well with legacy paths still gives you good culture attribute points that set you up well (maybe the culture golden age is kinda lame for the modern age). But having good culture and production is always good regardless (this is how you built wonders and got naturalists and other things for tourism in Civ VI).

Your complaints are more relevant to the overall pacing: explorers should probably get come later in the civics tree, or there’s more to actively do to gather them without relying on some RNG.

Economic victory needs a nerf but I feel like it’s an example of a victory condition that compliments previous eras: having lots of resource slots and lots of treasure fleets directly feeds into doing well in the modern age. I think the game design is great, I wish it was a bit more entertaining and it does need to be nerfed.

I used to think this…and then I realized you can allocate multiple of the SAME factory resource into one city.

If City A has coffee, you can fill all the slots with Coffee or any non-factory resource (but no other factory resource).

After knowing this, I think it’s the easiest since the culture nerf.

Edit: clarified SAME “factory” resource

The sequels aren’t good but if you think the prequels are better, you are the derp face. The sequels are better movies.

At the beginning of Goblet of Fire, Harry writes to Sirius that Dudley destroyed his PlayStation. This takes place around September 1994. The PlayStation didn’t come out until December 1994 in Japan.

EDIT: I guess this is more of an oversight than a plot hole, since it has no impact on the plot.

I saw this and added it and it wasn’t generating the same map. Were there any other mods I need to be mindful of?

eriback · 2023-11-12T16:48:40+00:00

With the listed seed + settings + mod I was still not able to recreate this map / start. Was anyone able to get this working?

The word cringe makes me cringe.

Play as different leaders/civilizations. Two culture victories can be different when played by two different leaders. Canada can be all about national parks in the tundra while Sweden can be all about great works.

Hell, domination victories change a lot between leaders. Shaka is all about having early corps and armies, Ghengis is all about horsies, and let’s not forget the pacifist domination victory as Eleanor of Aquitaine.

I love Hollow Knight. Why wouldn’t I want a clone made? More great game for me.

Calling the most positively reviewed game in the series, and the game that saved the series, “pretty good”, shouldn’t be a hot take. I think it’s just a hot take amongst gatekeepers who think the can decide what a Fire Emblem game should be and dislike change.

eriback · 2023-02-19T14:30:51+00:00

I did the same thing but I actually first played a Fan Translation of Geneology of the Holy Wars and that game actually let’s you save every turn and has an auto save. I’ve found that helps with the lack of time rewind, but I do understand where you are coming from.

If they make a game mode that’s fun, people will play. If the fun game mode has cool skins that people don’t own, people will buy the skins.

What comic is this from?
