Fun fact! You can totally negotiate with (some) mimics in D&D: we once got a map of a dungeon from one by feeding it some very surprised orcs, who learned that “good” doesn’t always mean “non-pragmatic,” if only for about 10 seconds.

I remember when we first got out Terabyte server, and the geeks were looking at the thing like it was the Holy Grail. Now an external drive with a Terabyte is considered super cheap.

It looks like the Joy rune combined with the Love rune, so I choose to believe that the hate groups fucked up so bad that they became Hippies by accident.

It’s not a plot hole, because everyone else has junctioned with a GF long before the game: Irvine will also start to forget stuff eventually, it just seems to take a while before it’s noticeable. The only real problem is that Selphie somehow forgot she used one even after she stopped using it, which is a weird…

What a foul day!

Pokemon doesn’t work as a sport because it’s impossible for it to be fair: if people bring their own pokemon, their going to bring some perfect mess of a monster you can only acquire through hours upon hours of grinding, and victory will go to the person with the lucky enough not to get a bunch of bad match ups. But…

Kinda sort/sort of spoiler. Only warning.

There’s a LOT of “maybe magic, maybe mundane” parts in this game: Esprit De Corps*might* be a mental connection to other police, or it might just be your memories surging back at relevant situations. I can’t help but recommend focusing on Psyche the first playthrough for that reason, because it feels you miss a lot of…

I watched this entire review. The ENTIRE review. The Full hour. I wanted to know one, thing, just one.

Which is still terrible advice: if someone is really good at being a trial lawyer, you don’t want that person to start spending all their time trying to learn the laws related to loans and property so they can start drafting loans. Yes, a lawyer can theoretically do both, but not to the extent that they would be worth…

This is machine learning, which is only a part of AI: it’s using patterns to determine future behavior, but it isn’t thinking in any real sense of the word. A “full” AI could simply be told to win as defined by the game, and if it managed to do that, then that would be worth worrying about. Machine learning is not.

Disgaea 2 is a bit of a lovable mess: it’s a very traditional story compared to Disgaea, and that was either acceptable because the characters were still fun (ok, mainly Axel and Rozalin,) or incredibly bad, depending on who you ask.

The worst part is that MMO healers aren’t like that: it’s more “uninstall the game you FILTHY CASUAL. 1000 MP to raise your ass and fuck up my rotation because the selfish DPS had to make best friends with the AOE.”

That wouldn’t have helped, unless the people at Paradox are extremely familiar with HALO: Google UNSC and you’re going to get the United Nations Security Council, not HALO, and everything else looks generic military sci-fi.

*You can no longer arrange a ball in the dungeons.

The bank has no way of knowing how much of his success was him, and how much was from Konami: what they *do* know is that his games are very expensive to make, and he himself doesn’t seem to be a fan of micro-transactions, which the corporate world loves.

The Trails series scratches a lot of the same itches, but Arcadia’s sense of adventure is probably unparalleled in gaming. You know where the plot is going to end, but darn it if the plot doesn’t throw curveballs along the way.

The Surge was more complicated than “anti-capatilism:” That was a part of it, but a lot of the horror comes from learning that many of the people at the top were seriously trying to save the world. It puts all the terrible things you see getting to the end in a new, and terrible, light. 

Going to college doesn’t mean much if you don’t have the fundamentals to make it useful. That said, the idea that kids would study instead of doing something else is dumb in its own right: are they going to ban getting money from streaming too? Maybe they should ban kids from karaoke to stop them from becoming idols…
