In Gundam Reconguista,  
MC likes a girl, girl doesn’t like him back, and basically was brotherzoning him.
 
After the reveal that MC and girl are siblings, MC spent one entire episode being so fucking pissed and was picking fights with anybody he could find.
 
I find it hilarious.

Enemies scale with you. It’s not hard when no enemy is several levels higher than you.

One common complaint about zombies is that they run too fast for decaying, sickly people.
 
I’ve come to theorize this is possible because with higher brain function gone, every little bit of pain or knowledge of one’s limits that keeps a regular person from being so fast doesn’t register in the mind of a zombie. And it certainly helps that most don’t, specifically speaking, need to breathe.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
To be fair, there was action in earlier incarnations and movies as well, just not as much.

@Jarkes  
Yeah. For as much as I loved the Kelvinverse Trek movies, they really did just feel like generic fast-paced action movies with the Star Trek name slapped on them.

@WyrmSpawN  
Only for modern zombies. Classic zombies tend to be super slow, but outnumber you by the hundreds.

Just finished playing Life After Us: The System.
 
If you know anything about it, then you’d already know what I’m about this horrid gzme.
 
In a nutshell game puts you in an abandoned asylum with the task of finding “Mrs. Henderson’s daughter” whom has the mental compacity of a child due to severe mental illness. As you progress through the game you find many notes and letter left by the women describing a man named Dr. Tor whom raped and molested her throughout her stay there.
 
Aside from the blood streaks and rotting appearance, the game has little to no horror element. The game disgustingly relies on shock value from the letters only. The fact that the notes are just explicit writing of amentally ill women being raped is very preverse and undoubtedly very disrespectful towards rape victims and the mentally handicapped.
 
It eventually felt more like fetish writings rather than a horror game.
 
Quite insulting , I would never recommend it.

So Picard start was far from perfect. Mostly Okeish but still have some promise despite worrying stuff. Way better than shitty Disco start

@That1GuyGAMER18
 
…Wow.

@That1GuyGAMER18  
Well how does it end?

And caught up with the Zones of Thought series. Tines are a very interesting species.

@WyrmSpawN  
You actually find the girl dead. She had committed suicide long before you arrived.

@That1GuyGAMER18  
Poor thing.

@WyrmSpawN  
The game was quite sad in the element of an innocent girl being taken advantage of by a perverted doctor but in terms of execute it seemed like the dev enjoyed writing the fucked up letters.
 
Finding blood writing on the wall saying “He wanted me to be pretty” or “He made me a real women” is really disturbing.
 
The game was horrible.
 
Here’s a gif.
 

It’s interesting how Digimon is getting more popular with their games, while Pokémon is getting less.

@Scrabbleman  
I didn’t notice

@Marx  
There’s a lot you didn’t notice.

@Scrabbleman  
Is this about cyber sleuth or something more recent then? - 3-

@Marx  
I mean, there are new Digimon anime coming out that isn’t trying to catch up to a certain modern trend (looking at you, Appmon) and the new games have all sold great.
 
So yeah, probably what you said.

@Scrabbleman  
I see

The more I think about Parasite, the more beautiful it is to me  
It’s so perfectly crafted

@Scrabbleman  
what are you talking about? Pokemon Sword/Shield had the best launch sales in franchise history how can you call that less?

@Background Pony #D3F3  
Oh please, every future game will have the “highest launch sales in the franchise”. That’s how franchises work. Look at FIFA and its mediocrity.
 
We’re talking about pure quality. Digimon games have been going up lately and I think they’re starting to find a good pattern, while Pokémon games have dumbed down with each iteration that people are starting to get pissed about it.

@Scrabbleman  
That, and I can’t imagine them releasing these games at such a breakneck pace without something going horribly down the road, maybe not to sonic o6 levels but at least sonic boom. As they say “the bigger they are, the harder they fall”. Hell, just look at call of duty you barely hear about it nowadays, and modern warfare III (2011) outsold black ops III (2018) twice fold according to Statista, and it has the advantage of being multiplatform.

Regular reminder that Akira Toriyama hated Dragon Ball Evolution so much that he came out of retirement and made Battle of Gods out of spite.
