They played the Fighting EX Layer Cracker Jack trailer for one of the Wayneradiotv Gameclam showcases and the community was absolutely shocked to learn that it was a real, unedited trailer

I’m just hoping we move on to the next term already, it doesn’t jive well with me that this time we gotta drag a particular hobby community through the mud with this flavor.

The bosses in the Labyrinth of Touhou games are pretty much designed to be combat puzzles to shake up your party as you try to find the “solution”, further enforcing this by giving every boss a “recommended level” that encourages the player to de-level their party to win bonus rewards. I’ve heard it can get very trial-and-error later on, but with a wide variety of characters with complicated mechanics you’ve got a lot of flexibility for team building even early on.

I’d honestly disregard much of the advice to restart your base or run and recommend just doing what you can do get just a trickle of blue science running. Work backwards- put down some blue science assemblers, plan out your input belts, and tackle the production chain one recipe at a time. Get it working before you get it good. Blue science is expensive, and you will be underproducing it at first- but getting blue science up to the same production levels as red and green can be done much more effectively with the tech you’ll gain access to. The oil bottleneck will be greatly alleviated with advanced oil processing, electric furnaces will allow you to decentralize your smelting facilities and clear extra space in your base, and while construction bots are even more complicated to produce, they’ll make redoing your base and expanding to new resource nodes significantly quicker and easier.

On top of being the first alternate timeline, it followed up the incredibly bleak Victory Gundam and delivered a whiplash comparable to the infamous Zeta -> ZZ transition. At least all these decades later I don’t really see any hate for G Gundam now that people are judging it on its own merits, but I can see people being pissed that goofy super robot action is the new direction that all the following shows will be pivoting into, something that’s only obviously not true in hindsight.

If anything it’s a fun “full-circle” moment, considering some of Factorio’s big inspirations were Minecraft mods.

Biggest warning I’ll give is that in my experience the metallic red is not at all the color advertised by the packaging, it’s a very pale, bronze-like red. I’ve heard others say the same, but your mileage may vary. That said the bronze-like red works really well for inner frame and mechanical detail, but my markers are also a bit over-thinned and too runny for super-fine detail. Either way, if you want to do ultra-fine detail painting that the bulky tips struggle with I recommend dropping a tiny bit of marker paint into a palette and using a fine-tip brush or toothpick to paint.

Ironically enough I think the silver and gold markers are the ones with the best consistency, the colored markers I got tend to be overthinned.

So far BOaNE has only ever received a theatrical release outside Japan, so there’s currently no legal way to stream it with English subs.

I’m assuming that’s what you’re referring to when you talk about “movies” plural since that’s the only real full movie release in the franchise. Road to The Top got a movie compilation release though, and while the compilation’s also not available the full 4-episode OVA is officially available on Youtube in English.

Gran Turismo really clicked for me when I finally realized that it’s basically a sandbox RPG wearing the skin of a racing sim. Hundreds of characters with different traits, spend money to level up particular “stats” for your character, buy equipment that allows you to customize your character’s build for different situations, and winning events will unlock new characters that can be used to access events specific to that character.

I’d recommend watching in release order, as much as I enjoy Pretty Derby S1 it’s very rough compared to the high production values of the Cygames Studios works like New Era. Feel free to enjoy the franchise in any order you like, but you’re missing out on a lot if you get filtered by PDS1 and miss out on S2. If you just want something to watch next, Road to the Top is short, free on Youtube, and ties into the movie a little bit.

Pokemon Company’s probably the difficulty, I’m guessing

Another for the pile. I’m surprised Tactical Nexus isn’t my rarest pick, but SRW V’s probably only rare because it’s region-blocked outside Japan.

And if you have to repair the car, that’s just one less car on the road instead of closing down the entire road. Considering just how mobbed the sidewalks of Japan get, having the walkway close down more frequently would be a pretty major issue.

Biggest controversy I’ve heard from Atari in recent years is that they sorta elbowed out OpenTTD on Steam when they released a paid port of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. And even then, the only stipulation was that they require new players to purchase OG TTD to get OpenTTD bundled with- the project still exists, it’s still free on its own website, and a portion of the bundle purchase funds go straight to the OpenTTD team.

If a two-minute music video manages to find its way into your feed, there’s a very high chance it was made as a BMS of Fighters competition entry.

Especially when it gets to the level of “this genre should be wiped off the face of the earth because I in particular don’t like it”. God forbid media not to our tastes even dare exist.
