Fuck off, Sucker Punch

My friend got prescribed "several new antidepressants" a week before she offed herself and by all accounts they contributed to making things worse. I don't know what they were, but it just adds to my antipathy towards those types of medications. No idea how this works for women, but whoever...

Totally agree from everything I've seen. This is a must to get to eventually. It's so antiquated visually though and that's tough to get into now (see also my struggles getting into Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, and the early Armored Cores). I'll throw Deus Ex onto my CRPG master list and get to...

I've heard of Eglin running interference on Reddit but I think this is the first time I've ever spotted it firsthand. WTF is the "Buga Dildo"? The Buga Sphere is pretty interesting. If it is an Atlantean-era artifact, that's amazing, though I wonder why we haven't found more like it under...

Kind of baffling that they completely ignored Cobra Kai in terms of the overall story, considering Cobra Kai is probably the only reason people were interested in seeing this. It should have been a sequel to the show with Daniel, Miguel, and a returning Jackie Chan (Johnny's busy).

Anyone try the hard difficulty level? Do the difficulty levels just affect enemy stats, or what? I'll probably give hard mode a try whenever I play this, just to have a new spin on the game.

Ghost of Yotei? More like Ghost of Nope-tei

I don't know a single person who was actually helped by anti-depressants. Setting goals for yourself, getting exercise, and so forth would do a lot more good. For example, I spent the last week planning an overhaul of where I live (as it has fallen into being a mess, again, this year). Took a...

Black Ops 6 is actually a direct sequel to Cold War, which I didn't expect. Cold War seems to be retconned as "Black Ops 5" officially now too. Noticed a lot of soldiers wearing keffiyehs (usually semi-hidden, like here). Was this attire a normal thing during the two Iraq wars, or something...

Weirdest thing about the Buga Sphere is that when you google it, you get a bunch of Reddit thread results and all of them are 100% people shitting on the sphere and not taking it seriously. There's one where everyone is calling it a "three year old's science project" and everyone on that thread...

I don't have time for this any time soon, but I'm looking forward to hearing about it. Feel free to post some screenshots and whatnot. The single best thing they can do is get rid of being trapped in multi-battle map stages so we don't have any more first-time players getting buried at Riovanes.

Never played Deus Ex, always wanted to. It's very dated now and I can't really justify playing it over all of the other 200 things on the list, and I was really hoping it'd get a sharp remaster at some point. ...so they blew it?

Is it an Orange Man Bad movie?

https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/news/ana-de-armas-sydney-sweeney-eden-836817-20240917 So wait a minute... They had Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney for a movie that has a "crazy threesomes" in it... ...and it turns out the "crazy threesomes" aren't involving the two of them. It's Ana and...

Story time, don't know if this will help or anything, it's not really intended to, only you can help you, and the beginning of that is to stop wallowing. All this wallowing isn't going to solve anything and it's going to keep you swimming in circles in your head. What you said here is basically...

I love "quick fire dialogue between snarky characters"! It's often found in movies with my other favorite thing, "immediately follow every emotional beat with a quirky joke so you don't have to actually stop and process any feelings" Looking forward to not seeing this!

I'd just like to get that castle battle from the top screenshot on the case, and maybe an optional uberboss fight with Duma (since his sprite was finished and he's in the game's code). Alas, I doubt either of these things are going to be forthcoming. Wish remakes would be used as an opportunity...

This is what needs to happen, yes. Unfortunately, all of them will probably get swept up. Maybe not though, I think RFK was specific about 7OH being the issue. Extract powder capsules (the "Gold" ones that are typically two to a pack and like $10 a dose) are really potent/nice and could...

Trying Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (along with Modern Warfare 2019). Thoughts: I like MW2019 a lot, looks incredible and feels like an old-school COD. Is this new MW trilogy supposed to be a remake/reimagining of the first MW trilogy back in the day, or sequels? Might as well have called them...

This having cut content added back in is the main thing making me interested in maybe actually getting it at some point. Wondering what content that's referring to though. Things that were in the Japanese version, probably, nothing huge, but we'll see. There are screenshots on the back of the...

Yeah, that's Kratom powder. It's an entirely different world from 7OH, which is more like a synthesized extract. This distinction really needs to be drawn, because nobody seems to. Kratom powder is benign and helps people get off of stronger drugs. 7OH is more like a Limitless pill that makes...

Latest update, I managed to fully kick the habit and have pretty much gotten back to normal. All the cold turkey attempts failed, so I switched to a wean method and very slowly weaned off of the stuff. Still insane to me that something this addictive is sold in stores. I've come off of...

Advanced Warfare is criminally underrated IMO. Probably my favorite of the 2010's CODs besides World War 2. CODs might be ridiculous in terms of hard drive space, but they sure make good use of that space. Their visual fidelity always feels top-tier for any given year and they make other...

Worst to best: -Alien vs Predator Requiem -Alien Resurrection -Alien vs Predator -Alien Earth -Alien 3 -Prometheus -Alien Romulus -Alien Covenant -Alien -Aliens Only one I'm not sure of is Alien Earth's placement. Sometimes it's a lot better than Alien 3, sometimes it isn't. Not exactly a high...

Yeah, this is what happened to me with Modern Warfare 1 (the new one). I tried a few years ago, I think at @Regime behest, but I couldn't get the game to install right or something like that. I finally decided to give it another shot this week and actually managed to get it installed and...

Yeah, I think they're up to like the 9th Trails game at this point. In a few months when the next one comes out, the U.S. will at last officially be up to where Japan is with the series. When the first one came out here, I think Japan was about to get the 5th one. The series takes place on one...

Anyone playing Trails in the Sky? While I'm not generally into anime aesthetic games at this point, friend got me the remake so I'm playing it. Never played any of the Trails games, but I've heard they're the great traditional RPG series of the 2010's+ in the mold of your Suikodens and Grandias...

Another thing about the 10,000 BC movie that I forgot to mention: When they're showing the three Great Pyramids being constructed by the slave legions and elephants while the Atlanteans oversee it, there is a giant gold point installed at the apex of one of them to turn it into a sharply-pointed...

The fuck does all this mean? I get Modern Warfare II on disc, I install Modern Warfare II, I patch Modern Warfare II, and now I go through that platform to install the Modern Warfare II Launcher. The hell is a "premium game sold separately"? What did I actually buy? Why are games all retarded...

Well, unless Bethesda issues a "the intern who runs our Twitter posted something inappropriate and inaccurate and has been fired" type statement, they just lost whatever interest I still had in Elder Scrolls 6. Nothing was lost, Bethesda sucks now anyway. Still have to play Skyrim, but I...

This Virtual Boy thing would be cool if it was just straight emulation (playing it on the TV in as 3D-ish as they can make it). However, you need a $100 add-on, and it's a headache-inducing headset, plus you need the Switch Online Plus or whatever the expensive subscription is. What teh fock

The one cool thing about Virtual Boy is the Wario Land game on there. TBH I like that game (and the Wii one, Wario Land: Shake It) more than I liked any of the actual numbered Wario Land sequels on the GBC and GBA. I mean, Wario Land 4 was okay, but 2 and 3 bored me to tears and went on way too...

I'll believe Metroid Prime 4 exists when I actually see it on a store shelf. The bike stuff...why Nintendo has burned through all their goodwill with me over the years so I'm not going to jump up and down cheering every time they announce something like their fanbase does.

I think it's safe to say that this thread has a TV show record for instances of the word "retarded"...and unfortunately, it's deserved. Still liked watching it.
