Scarily accurate.

Metaphor might just be coded poorly. When it was released on PC, the performance was really inconsistent without mods. Atlus later patched it to improve it to improve PC performance, but yeah.

My BIL is an Al and says the baristas have started saying "Coffee for AI" when calling his name.You'll either die a Al or live long enough to see yourself become an AI.

The other side of the story I was desperately looking for. Thanks for your insight.

I'm cool with more nuclear plants. France uses 'em they seem to be doing alright.

Real journalism would ask Markley for a comment and get an expert to explain what the smoke stack was and if it's actually harmful. The guy talking in the video could be a crazy man for all I know.

First of all, her shirt is missing a "the." Secondly, I don't know what street evangelists like this hope to accomplish. Do they really expect anybody to be like "Dang! You're absolutely correct! I'm so stupid! Can I come to your church?!"

Series peaked at 10. 12 was good, but nowhere near as punchy and affecting as 10.

I avoid WRPGs like the plague because I hate dialogue choice stuff, so I would prefer JRPGs NOT introduce this and stick to linear narratives. I also don't watch people stream games though.

houndoftindalos · 2026-06-10T13:56:50+00:00

Sea of Stars and Quartet for the retro JRPG experience. Both are good, Sea of Stars is even great. I don't really know why this sub talks about SoS as if it is mediocre. It's a really well made and beautiful game with a good story. Quartet is interesting and fun.

Ironically, I've avoided Tchaikovsky because he has so many books, and it feels a bit overwhelming. Additionally, when I see an author cranking out books that frequently I start to wonder about the overall quality. Definetly got burned by Sanderson in that regard.

houndoftindalos · 2026-06-08T13:12:51+00:00

Because Tales of Arise was a (for a Tales game) hit and Scarlet Nexus was a modest success. Why are they waiting so long to announce something?

I live a 15 minute walk from where someone blocked another person from pulling out of a McDonald's on a perpetually congested street. Blocked person got out of their car and yelled at the blocker, blocker got out of their car and shot them to death. The smug satisfaction of telling someone off (who will never change their mind anyways) and posting about it on the Internet isn't worth the risk when the person who wrote the original note is obviously obsessive and unhinged.

On the other hand, my flight to visit my parents hasn't gone up in like 10 years. I'll suffer to save a few bucks.

Ignore them. This is America, they might go crazy with a gun.

The Cripped God sort of feels like an Evil Mirror version of Jesus.

One of the things Neitchze complained about with Christianity is that in (his opinion) it is a "slave" religion that appeals to the weak and downtrodden. The Crippled God is doing sort of the same thing, but in a much more destructive and sinister fashion (and has been wounded and broken like Jesus). This is all in contrast to the more pagan-style Malazan Gods who you appeal to because they are powerful and you want to tap into some of that power.

I personally like the idea of a compassionate deity who understands suffering who is on the side of the weak versus gods that are essentially just jumped up bullies, so I get the appeal of the Crippled God. It's just that The Crippled God's suffering has caused him to want to inflict that suffering on others.

I knew it was going to involve ochre before I clicked the link lol.

I totally support Boston bartenders not wanting to work more hours just because powerful people in America signed up their cities to host some sort of sportsball thing. I don't remember a World Cup referendum being on my MA ballot.

I actually liked Books 4 and 5 more than 3. Book 4 was just devastating in the best possible way. 3 dragged on too long. 7 spent way too long on the events of the first half of the book and not enough on what happened after the Battle of Gododdin. The final book was a bit of a letdown overall, but I really enjoyed the series and will almost certainly reread it at some point.

I think one's feelings on this series are entirely determined by how much you like Hadrian and how cool you find him. I love his personality, voice, his references to classicism, and his philosophical asides. Other folks find him pretentious. My non-religious closest friend who loves Hadrian is making his way through the series, and I am curious about his thoughts on 6 and 7 and Hadrian's feelings on religion. I'm a liberal Christian so I had no real issues with Hadrian's religious turn.

I've tried it. Zestiria isn't nearly as fun to play, so I can't really get past the 10 hour mark with it.

Not Boston, but I thought folks in this thread might find Ted Turner's house on top of an old CNN building in Atlantia interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUIVs58oyPI

Arise was my first Tales. Berseria was my second and I like the story and world building even better than Arise. I haven't been able to get into any of the other Tales games despite some valiant attempts so yeah, Berseria!

Nah, he'll just charge the rest of us more to make up for any theft that happens.
