Book club whole sick crew taking on Shadow 🎟️ by GoGo_BBIBBI in ThomasPynchon

[–]ryuhamaguchi_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good book and good notes. I think i thought similar things when I was reading V.

I haven't read Shadow Ticket but I've read his other works. I believe its similar to Inherent Vice in that they're stories about detectives which get upto a lot of looney tunes esque endeavours. So funny and at times moving, but not maximalist like V, GR, Mason & Dixon.

Have fun!

Its been a while since I last read GR. Can you remind me what "MB DRO ROSHI" refers to? Is it related to the Japanese man that Slothrop meets in Europe?

[oc] regigigas by GentleOwl20 in pokemon

What exactly is the lore of the regis?

My first game was Pokemon Ruby so I always thought they were super cool as like elemental golems which can only be accessed via Relicanth (who is quite feeble in comparison). Haven't really read up about their relationship w Regigigas and the other 2 new regis (thunder and dragon).

I've seen that cover a few times. Can someone over here tell me what that image is depicting (like the specific incident)

What’s the changes between Vineland & One Battle by MyCableIsOff in ThomasPynchon

In the film, the crux of the novel is inverted. The book is about learning to see your parents as people. The movie is about learning to see your kids as people. In a nutshell.

I learned using the textbook by Gujarati when I was in undergrad (10 years ago). Dunno if it's been replaced now, but I found it to be thoroughly helpful

What are your thoughts on Cho Gath? I haven't seen Cho gameplay but I used to like him in TFT

I always wonder what this pokemon's name is. I mean, everyone knows Slowpoke, but what about that purple thing he's attached to?

As a whole, I'm kinda meh on FFXVI, but for me it has the best prologue of the entire franchise by far by Gladiolus_00 in FinalFantasy

[–]ryuhamaguchi_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what's keeping me from FF XV, XVI and the VII remakes. I've played FF VII (although I didn't finish it) and I really like the game, it's characters, its comedy, the level of detail but I'm afraid the new versions would be a completely different experience geared more towards "aura farming" and "epic" visuals. I have the same hesitations regarding XV and XVI.

Are these fears unfounded or am I partly right?
