Like I always say when arguments like theses come up, how can you tell they are "fakes"? I never understand this shit at all because it makes no sense.

Right. And it's a difficult skill to learn. But this game sounds exactly like the downward spiral experienced in a panic attack too. (ie. You start to panic, which intensifies the symptoms, causing you to panic more and more, making it that much worse, etc.)

This makes me think of that Minecraft Flashdrive project.

It depends on how you define "safer".

It isn't faulty because short of actually experiencing the nuances of the game I intend to buy, I can't very well tell if I'll like it or not. I can learn all sorts of shit about a game beforehand but that still doesn't tell me whether or not I will like it. Reading about a game, learning about a game doesn't tell me…

The problem is that you're wrong, telling me that what I'm doing is somehow morally questionable. In this case there is no black or white. It's all based on a sliding scale of gray.

Right, because it's only "that one game" and not more like 90% of games. And there's a huge difference between paying $2 for a box of cereal and finding out you don't like it and paying $30+ for a video game just to find out it's total shit. If you can't see how those are two completely different scenarios, then it…

Eh, some people download PC games primarily to test them out. It's not worth paying a bunch of cash to buy a game I might not even like when I can test it out for free to see if a purchase is worthwhile.

Bravo. I'd never seen that before. I started laughing uncontrollably after reading the post that japanese guy wrote saying "This is nothing but the typical Yankee notion that Godzilla is a cruel destroyer." and then seeing that .gif

Like you said, it's a beta mate. And lots of stuff is already changing (like the combat system, monster attack types, etc.) But it's simply not fair to compare a game in early early beta to a game that's been out for years (and just somewhat recently got an update than doubled the game's content.) My point is, once…

Thanks lol.

It's all just subjective man. It just comes down to a matter of taste really, although I'm not speaking solely about a preference towards 8-bit only (rather about 2d sprites vs 3d renders.) I personally prefer sprites over 3d because I think that well designed sprites look better than some of the 3d models used in…

Yeah. I'm a big fan of Terraria as well.

Name just about any Japanese VN. Chances are I've lost it playing through it lol.

No list can be perfect, but aside from a handful of titles on there, that list's some old bullshit, and what I mean by that most of those listings are "safe". They stated some made on the list for being classic or controversial but I don't see any Mobile Suit Gundam (classic), I don't see Mirai Nikki (controversial),…

Yeah that whole episode made me lose it. I love how it's like the game but in ways more detailed. Good stuff

Why is that a problem though? When everyone in a story is defined by their relationship to the main character, whether male or female, why is sexuality or romance a terrible defining quality? Sexuality and romance are a part of human nature... To be critical of this trope is essentially to be critical of human nature.

Yeah, some patches can be full of rubberbanding, while others are perfect. But idk, I can play the game on my laptop with no issues beyond initial lag when running into my first few mobs. Beyond that, I don't have too many issues with stuttering or lag unless it's on a weekend or something and loads of people are on,…

I think the thing to remember when one says something like this is 'art', is that they're not talking about classic art like painting or sculpting, but they're talking about performance art (which has always been a bit controversial as to whether it's true art or not, but that's beside the point).

Lol that's awesome. The only thing that tries to get into my house are possums. Like if I leave my back door open for any amount of time, I'll inevitably have to chase one or two out. The funny thing is, I have two cats, and the first few times I caught these possums in my house, I was thinking "man, they're lucky my…
