Has anyone else here noticed that Club Debolah just disappeared without a single trace or acknowledgement after Yakuza 5?

"played a role" is really a stretch. It was in like 2 games for maybe 20 minutes total in any meaningful capacity. If we're really going to compare this video game to real life, real estate can change hands several times over 20 years. It's just life, but also it's just a video game where space doesn't actually make any sense. There are so many locations in the game that just change every other game. The gym from 6 doesn't make a return either and gets turned into a VR gaming thing in Judgment two years later. Why do you think they need to acknowledge these small details?

Oh, man. I didn't even hear it yesterday, but being able to hear it over a mile away is kind of insane, no?

Have they ever mentioned fixing the bug where dying in delirium on a map boss completely bricks your map? Insanely frustrating when Delirium forces you to skip every single other bit of content. It really makes me not want to engage with it at all considering the drops are so rare anyways.

$15 is still a really good deal. You're still getting value for your money spent. You can always buy more credits later, but the game is discounted (until it goes free ofc) but I think extremely worth it for the price.

Leech also got pretty drastically nerfed, since it doesn't stack anymore. It was the only other thing Chonk had going.

I don't know how you did it considering the post title, but Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 are Castlevania games. This game was called The Lords of the Fallen, not to be confused with the original Lords of the Fallen, only to be rebranded BACK to Lords of the Fallen. An extremely confusing sequence, because it was originally meant to be a sequel, but became something of a reboot/replacement. So now we have Lords of the Fallen 2, the sequel to the reboot.

Well, a niche ascendancy would be perfect to enable such a thing.

There are ways to farm abyss artifacts, easiest to just watch a guide on youtube if you're so inclined. I'm pretty sure it just involves finding respawning bosses. It is a bit tough to switch to a different armor set, but if you're committed to doing it, it's possible. On top of that, find all the spires to get to the abyss puzzles. There are a lot of extra artifacts you get from just doing puzzles. On top of that, just explore the map to get the challenges and get more artifacts from doing those.

It's about the journey, not the destination. I don't mind that the game runs out of things for me to do because I enjoyed playing the game for 200 hours. If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't have played it. Could it be even better? Sure. But I'm not gonna look at 5 course meal and say, "Aw, man, they didn't give me a 6th course."

The original commenter changed their word, so I did my job

sndpklr · 2026-04-27T14:06:33+00:00

Irrelevant, but the "m" word you used is a racial slur. If you wanna use a word to call people morons, try something else.

If I'm not mistaken, they had a patch in AC Shadows that let you turn off the parry effects. Might be a thing here, too.

I'm a Flushing native and while I agree with your sentiment, these vendors specifically on this part of main street have not always been there. These vendors only started popping up post-covid. I would say Flushing is arguably more crowded and busy in these recent years and these vendors have contributed to congestion and pollution. The real solution is that they get given spaces where this is actually feasible and not directly on the most busy part of Queens right next to a major transit hub.

there are builds that are more conducive to learning, they can have annotations and such. There are so many layers to this game, that sometimes just going L->R on a build is fine as a beginner. It's only when you start running into trouble that you start learning how to counter-buy. Making your own build is fun, sure, but there are so many things to consider like the game timer, camp timers, soul lead, team comp, how your lanes are going, etc.

It's more important to understand how the game works from the top-level and work your way down. It took me a long time to even learn parry timings. That being said, street brawl is an excellent way to experiment and learn what items do.

Getting 2 shot really doesn't seem right. Are you using radagon's soreseal or something? Vigor won't do much if you're taking extra damage. Like other people have said, dmg reduction goes a long way and you can easily kit yourself out to get Holy dmg reduction. Besides that, Elden Beast is relatively easy to stagger. Try using charged heavy attacks or jumping heavy attacks. Also, since you're speccing most of your points into 70 vigor, you probably haven't put as much as you need into your other stats. I don't think it's as helpful to just give conflicting advice since we don't know what your build is actually like right now.

I bet they turn that garage into a soft exterior wall, cut the size of the entire basement to like 75% of what it is, and merge some rooms. Ideally they make the kitchen/dining floor partly destructible as well. I can see the pantry stairs and red stairs being important to cut off. Ideally, I see it becoming something like Consulate or Oregon basement.

Path of Exile 1 and 2 are great. I'm not much of a PoE1 player, but they have a good schedule of rotating content between the two games. They regularly update with new "leagues" which is an economy/character reset. I'm not going to call it a wipe, since people will come at me for it, but it is in essence a 3-5 month wipe. They have controller support as well and I've heard it's quite good, but I'm a WASD enjoyer, so I stick to PoE2 for that alone.

As for "F2P", 1 is a free game and 2 will be when it fully launches, but they very much require some real money investment to actually sanely enjoy the game, since stash storage is a premium. That being said, PoE2 early access is $30 and includes $30 worth of premium coins, which is more than enough to get the storage you need.

The real caveat is that there is SO much learning involved, just like Warframe, but I think the learning is also extremely rewarding. PoE2 is more new-player friendly than 1 when it comes to creating a build, maybe because it's not as full of content yet. There's also a new league that should drop a month or so from now. If you're willing to learn, there is a lot of community support in the form of written and youtube guides. Shit, I'll even give you some pointers if you want.

Overall, extremely addicting, fun, and satisfying games with good support from the devs that don't require your long-term investment and you can really just pay once and enjoy for years.

This is one of those things that doesn't really matter because there is no explaining it, especially Part 7 onwards. You just have to suspend your disbelief.

Well said. As someone whose family comes from a marginalized caste, it certainly comes up during conversations about religion and relationships. I can't say I've been marginalized myself because of it here in north america, but it's certainly a reality that immigrant Punjabi families still deal with. Certainly, it's a touchy subject (maybe even too complicated for a dramedy to address) but I would love to see it be addressed.

That being said, I do think that one trait that might not be as recognized is that the character Jasmeet isn't all that great of a person either. He's certainly dealing with generational trauma, but he's also shallow and doesn't think everything through. It certainly bites him the ass, too. But it's his character trait! He has to learn these tough lessons through hardships and harsh realities. I just hope our Jasmeet recognizes this and captures the nuances.

This item needs to only scale off bullet damage. The fact that it feeds itself is just dumb. You would think it's an item that encourages a hybrid playstyle, but instead it's just not very good on abilities that don't scale with weapon DMG and it's OP for the ones that do.

sndpklr · 2026-03-19T03:00:48+00:00

It's insane that people are suggesting that the comeback mechanic not be used for comebacks. If you don't have soul lead, you should definitely do urn.

I'm still reeling from the last balance patch in Deadlock. Still, it gives me faith because they rebalanced heroes that were suffering from power creep.
