No its not. Unless Japan released a Hook copycat I don’t know about. You can easily use the imdb link above to check yourself. Why lie?

Takayuka Yamada is not Dante Basco.

Doki Doki Literature Club is the GOAT. Can any VN gamers recommend something similar? Every other VN game I’ve tried had me wishing it was just a book and quitting before the end.

No, JD Vance has the face of a feral human stranded on an island for wayward kitties. Watched this episode of Metalocalypse immediately before the debate and it made the whole thing far more enjoyable

Please sell it to EA. Sell all the garbage game making companies to the undisputed king of shit so I can have an easier time avoiding shitty games.

Yes but that one guy is an idiot as people have died from drinking less than a quart. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2015/03/27/no-its-not-safe-to-drink-weed-killer-on-camera-but-who-cares/

As a plant nerd, I’ve said pinus in polite company quite a bit without anyone thinking I was saying penis. Not sure if this article is really an advertisement, or if the journalist is just that stupid.

The mask is just there to hide that we’re a vassal state of the USA.

The biggest consequence was a settlement payment to those mistreated. Which didn’t come out of the police budget or pension so basically they got to force the taxpayer to bail them out for their incompetence after the government already paid over a billion dollars for extra security.

If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don’t need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you’ll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.

I haven’t gagged this hard at a picture on the internet since my last look at the original rotten.com over 20 years ago. Good job OP!

Seems like Michael Scott is suffering from pinus envy

Pretty sure The Most Unwanted Song takes the cake on that front. It has bagpipes and opera rap! Good luck listening all the way through. https://youtu.be/-gPuH1yeZ08?si=NRXK7GH9qnDbGt3H

Look up cordyceps instead!

Not only do they look pretty, they sing pretty too. I did a lot of tree planting in my twenties and these beauties would sometimes appear to hang out and sing with me while I worked.

I appreciate the reasoned response. Maybe by the end of the game the pay items don’t feel limited, but they did in the first 20 hours I played before returning it.

If I was disappointed solely at the sales compared to my dislike then you’re right to think its nonsense. What I’m disappointed in is a business I have loyally and regularly purchased from for over 30 years compromising their product and making it worse to try and fleece more money. I also worry deeply that the game selling well despite the flak means every major developer will find their own way to follow suit and refine the tactic until it becomes the norm.

I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

Sure if 20 hours in isn’t far. I was at Battahl when I returned the game

Didn’t know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don’t assume others are too.

It absolutely is. Wakestones are limited without microtransactions and there are plenty of poorly explained quests where one could easily kill something they shouldn’t. It happened to me. I even saved right before to try and be safe only for the game to autosave over the second the npc attacked me. The only save you have full control over is your second save tied to the inns, which are expensive and inferior to camping due to the buffs camping provides.

This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.

Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.
