>>1517 i have very bad news for you anon...

>>1518 >>1519 It's not about "regulations good" or "regulations bad", it's about whether the specific regulations are good or bad. If the government is corrupt, the regulations are gonna be bad, they're gonna be anti-competitive, and they're not going to help customers whatsoever. It all comes back to inevitable corruption in government, the only bandaid solution to which I can prescribe is regular purging by revolution. That of course leaves any nation increasingly open to infiltration at the time of revolution by any other large nation at the time, the solution to which is more revolution. Those are your options. Stability for an ever increasing amount of slavery, or chaos as you spend eternity bludgeoning bad actors every generation as you pray to fuck off. To take a middle ground, just revolt in moderation.

>>1519 >after the decade of corpos imposing agendas that were not only not government-mandated but often directly opposed to the government's wishes Do you have any examples? >>1522 >the only bandaid solution to which I can prescribe is regular purging by revolution Or just teach people that the government, nor anyone else for that matter, is coming to "save" them.

>>1526 >Or just teach people that the government, nor anyone else for that matter, is coming to "save" them. Yeah, that's why they gotta revolt?

>>1474 I got this wrong. Don't pray at ethe same blood circle or same statue more than once, even if it's to the same god.

On the base difficulty at least, if you can make it to what I think it about halfway through the game, you can find a room with a safe save point and a ritual circle/bloodportal right beside eachother. At this point, the game becomes much easier as saving becomes more accessible, and further, not much farther, there will be another ritual circle/bloodportal in an area with a ton of books, which makes for easy savescumming. I haven't actually had to savescum the bookshelves at all, just been pretty lucky, but so far I've gotten an empty scroll (most powerful item in the game that allows you to get other stuff) and two copies of the necronomicon (Wth a safe save point for savescumming, each of these is a free Gro-Goroth spell of your choosing.).

Now that I've made significant headway into Mahabre, I think there might be a bit less variety surrounding the latter half of the game where you're gonna get a lot of the same higher tier skills. For instances, Walk on Water and Simple Transmutation appear to be a gauranteed. The former gives you a hint on where to use the latter which can get you infinite moldy breads and a decent replenishable stock of wine vials. Walk on Water than leads you to two more gauranteed spells, Pyromancy Trick and Combustion, the latter of which doesn't even cost any mind.

>>1511 >He thought this was actually a shitpost Oh my sweet summer child... This might actually just be the turning where old 'tendo is truly dead and buried.

Is this as bad as Other M?

>>1512 >Nope, this was from some game news channel on Youtube. There are other npcs in the game too. Just wanted to be sure. I also saw a video of some female soldier fangirling over Samus before the vid was deleted. >>1516 >Oh my sweet summer child... Hope you're being ironic.

>>1212 u got that backwards anon >pic They added a big titty monster girl to Roblox?

>>1193 What, no Mount and Blade? Or gmod? Unless that's not sandbox enough. Kinda makes me wonder what can really be considered a sandbox. ...Is the dominions series a sandbox or purely city building/rts shit?

>>1503 >gmod Sure, you can talk about more well known titles. I just wanted to see more obscure stuff. A good chunk of games have sandbox elements in them nowadays, though. >Mount and Blade I looked at a few screenshots of the game but it looks like some sort of open world RPG. What sandbox elements does it have?

>>1475 >Ah, the wiki is wrong then. It says her first appearance is "Sonic Comic #12", but then the link says that was in 2016, and Sonic Boom started in 2014. The wiki must have a different page for Sticks (game canon) than for Sticks (Sonic Boom canon). Since they're different continuities, they'd technically be different characters. "Sonic Comic" is an obscure gag manga that the wiki treats as game canon, so it treats that chapter as game Sticks' first appearance, even though she's never actually appeared in a canon game, and has only been referenced in a single line in Frontiers. A similar instance exists for Amy and Charmy, who first appeared in non-canon manga from the early '90s, and were later adapted into the games. So if you go to Amy Rose's page, it will say she first appeared in Sonic CD, from 1993, but that's only for game Amy. Amy overall first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog (Shogaku Ninensei) Chapter 1, from 1992, but that version of Amy has her own page, since she's technically a different character. Charmy didn't appear in a game until 1995, but he first appeared in that manga in 1992, but that's a different version of Charmy, with a different page. Vector and Mighty also first appeared in that manga, but only in art pages with no story, so I doubt the manga versions of those characters have their own wiki pages. And actually technically Vector first appeared in concept art for Sonic 1, but since that wasn't published until later, it doesn't count. Now if you wanna talk comic books, the Mega Man comic made by the same people who made the Sonic comic was pretty good. I liked that it was slowly adapting the games in order, but it went so slow that they barely got to Mega Man 4. They did original stories, and maybe a bit too much, but they were mostly okay. They made good use of the Mega Man various Robot Masters as supporting characters, with the guys from Mega Man 1 being good guys after, since they were built by Light, and the Mega Man 2 guys continuing to be Wily's supporters even after the events of that game. Then they started tying into things like Super Adventure Rockman and bringing in elements from Rockman World V, but didn't get anywhere close to adapting that game. And the Worlds Unite crossover heavily featured Mega Man X, with a prelude story arc which functioned as a prequel to X, which was pretty cool. Aside from having a bit too much original story and characters, I might also argue that Rock acted like a bit too much of a little bitch. But overall it was a pretty good adaptation. A lot better than the Ruby Spears cartoon. I suppose I gotta try reading the various Rockman manga, though. I know people say the Rockman X manga are good, but I have a soft spot for Rockman classic, and I like seeing that era's characters and story treated seriously. Rockman X is a bit melodramatic for me, and I don't think its story is really better than classic, even though people act like it is.

>>1466 >if Robotnik can have that many different lackeys in different adaptations, I suppose I can tolerate one more. I just wish they threw in a line at least referencing Snivley, since he's exactly the same damn character. Just have Robotnik use it as a nickname, or at least call him a "snivley little worm" or something like that. It really is a missed opportunity, because the two really are very similar. The writers for the movie probably thought something like: "If all the different games and shows give Robotnik/Eggman different sidekicks, and this is going to be a whole new movie series, we should give him a new assistant." Sadly, the likely reason Stone and Snivley are so similar is because you can really only go a few ways with Robotnik's lackeys, so that they enhance his character and not overshadow him. >Crazy. Yeah, it might seem a bit crazy, but I liked the self-contained story of the first movie. It had a clear point, and while it was very easy to follow, it got it across by the end. Family is important, you don't have to be the same as your friends to get along with them, etc. etc. The second movie had some cool moments with Tails and Knuckles. Of course, I should also mention that I don't think these two movies are super good, either. I just like them more than 3. >Yes, they did portray Gerald somewhat differently, but I'm okay with it. It is one of those situations where I can certainly understand why someone would enjoy the movie while I didn't. Overall, they deviated too much from the game's plot. The introduction of Shadow wasn't weak, but I feel like they could have done more with him between the beginning and end of the movie. He became like a violent Knuckles, trying to get the audience to laugh by having the answer to everything be destruction. It felt like they got the edgy Shadow from internet memes and used that as a base instead of canon Shadow from the source material. I understand that it is a kids movie, but I was physically cringing when the Robotniks started that whole dance number to get through the lasers. Yes, the two of them are supposed to be insane, and they aren't going to demonstrate this insanity by committing war crimes or anything. And I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Carrey wanted to do something interesting to get him through filming, as I heard rumors he didn't want to be in any movies beyond the second one. But it just felt too silly. The fight in the city between Sonic and Shadow was lackluster. The City Escape quote was shoehorned so badly into the script that I felt like Sonic was going to break the fourth wall and look at the audience to see if we were laughing. And, naturally, they had to shove an Akira Bike Slide Reference in there. All that promotion of Shadow and the motorbike for it to be used for 4 minutes. This could also be said for the other movies, but why is Sonic so useless? He has friends, support, he understands his powers better than ever. He should be literally running laps around anyone and anything. Of course he has to take some hits but the enemy should work for it by implementing anti-Sonic weaponry and strategy. The writers also forgot that Sonic is supposed to be cool and relaxed a vast majority of the time. Sure, something is bound to get him mad, and movies sometimes change character personalities a bit, but being cool is an essential part of Sonic's character. It has been awhile since I saw the movie, since I saw it when it came out. But I do believe I am remembering everything correctly. You also definitely know more about Sonic than I do.

>>1492 >Yeah, it might seem a bit crazy, but I liked the self-contained story of the first movie. That self-contained story had practically nothing to do with Sonic, though. It was just a generic half-CGI kids' movie, and I wouldn't say a particularly good one. Without the connection to Sonic, why would I care? The little connection it does have only makes me mad, since it's so different from the source material that it all feels like wasted opportunity to make an actual adaptation. >Overall, they deviated too much from the game's plot. But you just said you liked Sonic 1, which doesn't just deviate from plot (Sonic is an alien), but from the characters, which I think is the bigger crime (Sonic is a lonely child). Sonic 2 obviously takes enormous detours, what with the sassy fat black woman's wedding, but even with the bits they do adapt, they merge the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, Knuckles' people were genocided not by Chaos and their own hubris, but by Sonic's adopted mother, an owl, clearly because they only played the first game and saw vaguely owl-like figures in the background of Labyrinth Zone). Angel Island isn't a thing, and they couldn't even be bothered to have the underwater ruins be Lost World, Hydrocity, or Aquatic Ruin, as they're clearly Labyrinth Zone, again because they clearly only played the first game. >The City Escape quote was shoehorned badly Agreed. I do think it could have been delivered properly, but I don't think the actor even knew it was a quote. >The writers forgot that Sonic is supposed to be cool and relaxed a vast majority of the time This is my biggest problem with the whole series, but especially the first movie. Across all the other adaptations, Sonic generally acts like Sonic. This is the only one where he is a vastly different character. I do think it gets slightly better in each sequel, and by the third one, when he does lose his cool a bit, I think it's justified well enough, and ties in with Shadow's themes, so I'm okay with it. I think you're remembering everything correctly, I just think it's crazy to be mad about the movie with the fewest deviations from the source material, including the characters, and the fewest cringey modern kids' movie moments, but forgiving those transgressions in movies that had those problems in much higher quantities. Plus, I also don't give a single shit about the emotional arcs in Sonic 1 or 2, but at least Shadow's arc is actually retained in Sonic 3, and I do think that one is at least somewhat effective.

If you detest Mark for good reason, stay here or maybe go to zzzchan. If you don't have a reason to hate the slimy jew or miss the good ol' days of 4chan's /v/ where people made all kinda of random bullshit threads that were barely video games, go to /vb/. That being said, i assume we'd be as bad if we had the same runoff population from tubby talmud getting really pissy about what he wants on his pristine board.

>>1186 I detest Mark for sucking Jewtendo cock and deleting any discussion that dissents against Nintendo ruining all of their franchises.

>>1483 SHLORP SHLORP SHLORP DRINK THAT SLOP SHLORP SHLORP SHLORP SUCK THAT COCK All of that just to defend a company that's becoming sony akin to when the ps4 released with games that are becoming extremely formulaic and of lower quality every released. Hope the fat retard choke on his cake some day.

They really want to make the internet as unusuable as possible, don't they?

>>1481 I'm on Ungulagged Chromium and a VPN that tends to make mainstream sites tell me to fuck off, and I can load CDRomance just fine without a cuckflare popup. You sure it's not your particular VPN or something?

>>1482 >You sure it's not your particular VPN or something? It's not, as I have VPN tunnels that open perfectly fine for a time before suddenly requiring that I verify myself through Cloudflare.

>>1216 >Are they purposely trying to make people hate them? Maybe. But it is more likely that they feel invincible. They feel like they can make bold statements without much fluff and still get the sales numbers they desire. Despite the decisions Nintendo has made so far, the Switch 2 is selling. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, games from these big series are selling despite their obvious shortcomings. So currently, they feel like they can be more straightforward even with more negative statements, since they feel it won't cut into their profits too much.

>>234 Leisel is a lesbian, not a tranny

>>1216 >>1218 Honestly, the market is so devoid of actual competition on the hardware side that they have a right to "feel invincible." Xbox is still a footnote at best, with its confusing naming schemes. And their software side is lol worthy. PS5 sold a good amount but it has like 3 exclusives and I'm pretty sure people just use it to play ps4 titles. Still, it's getting harder and harder to justify buying anything from nintendo. Their games have become more and more formulaic or they're pandering to the most base cretins out there. >>1447 >Lesbian <With a nigglet Really wanted to give their character the least amount of chances possible, huh. Don't hurt me I don't know if that's just fan shit or the actual relationship

>>1191 >which is a shame because I like timed hit systems Have you tried Resonance Of Fate or Time And Eternity? >>1194 >But maybe people have been thirsty for a game without a lot of the typical propaganda that is in games nowadays, whether they realize it or not. So they found E33 to be pretty refreshing. That is pretty much the reason and the justification. It's even why Bear Sex 3 won GOTY despite being rather mid, even compared to the previous BG games.

>>1198 >Have you tried Resonance Of Fate or Time And Eternity? No. Though I do like timed hit systems they seem pretty rare. Most of my experience with them is from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series, and some other JRPGs that I had blind faith as a child that I would do a little extra damage if I hit the X button right as an attack connected. I tried playing Shadow Hearts via emulation once, but I got all the way to the top of the tower and then there was a consistent freeze when loading the next cutscene, and I haven't had the motivation to try again years later since my saves are long gone.

As many of you have probably heard by now, Expedition 33 has been nominated for several categories at The Game Awards 2025. These include: <Best Game Direction <Best Narrative <Best Art Direction <Best Score and Music <Best Audio Design <Best Performance (Benn Starr, Jennifer English, and Charlie Cox) <Best Independent Game <Best Debut Indie Game <Best RPG And of course Game of the Year , going against Death Stranding 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hades II, Silksong, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II None of this comes as a surprise, given how popular the game has been on social media and among the normalfag gaming crowd. It is pretty impressive that 3 out of the 6 voice actors for Best Performance are from E33, though. Which categories will the game win? Is it a strong contender for GOTY? Will you be voting for the game in any of these categories (even though audience choices only count for 10% of the final decision)? The game is also one of the options for GOTY for the Steam Awards. Do you think it could win there? Or in any of that competitions categories?

>>1430 Huh, didn't know the Vita came in Thin PC form factor as well.

>>1430 Bit of an update. So I decided to go through VitaShell, and manually check every single folder to see what was taking up so much space. Apparently Content Manager is a dick when it comes to correctly displaying which content is used for what. Turns out that it actually is all my games (75 GB of Vita and PSM games), with the DLC (8 GB) and that patches (12 GB). The only other folder taking up a "lot" of space is the "bgdl" folder (Currently downloading a couple games) with 9 GB in use. So I guess that means I need to buy a bigger thumb drive, or delete some games. So in regards to upgrading the size of the thumb drive, would I just follow this guide for formatting the new drive: https://vita.hacks.guide/storage-format-(windows).html And then once that's done, would I just plug both the older and new drive into the computer and copy everything over? I don't want to go through FTP because that would take forever.

>>1436 Looks about right, I recall having to format the card and using the zzblank.img file. >And then once that's done, would I just plug both the older and new drive into the computer and copy everything over? Never upgraded the card, but I would think so. This is assuming you mount both them via VitaShell, or do one transfer at a time from the old to the new.

>>1402 >The game is rated E10. It's hard enough to work out online interactions while also keeping things kid friendly enough so the game can stay under a Teen rating. I feel like that's not an excuse for whatever reason. Even the beach episode for the original Pokemon anime under 4Kids made it to air (Three years later), with only James crossdressing being censored.

>>1406 Those bikinis are not micro. You could see all of those normally at the beach.

>>1406 With beach episodes and video games that take place at beaches (like beach volleyball, surfing, etc.), swimsuits are expected. While the characters will usually look good in their swimsuits, they are not necesarily being overtly sexualized. A skin for a vehicle in a Kirby racing game that has a microbikini is supposed to be taboo and lewd in a silly way. People think the skin is funny because it is pushing Nintendo's rules to the limit (and breaking them). It doesn't make sense for the setting or fit into the plot of Air Riders. The only reason it is there is to test Nintendo, like a kid trying to make his parents mad by saying a swearword at the dinner table over and over again.

>>1203 What's stopping them from just editing the LLMs anyway?

>>1229 Nothing, really. It just makes those wastes of oxygen increase their carbon footprint :^)

>>1230 As long as those ppl are in charge there will be censorship

>>1106 I like how the ones that actually want to scare you in this list are (almost) all point and click adventures.

>>1071 This was cute. Is it supposed to just go black after you give the guy the coins?

>>1071 >>1206 >There are different endings Are there more than two? Are they random?

>>970 Jesus fucking Christ, fuck Glumstone the Giant. Too much shit going on at once, and fuck that fucking last phase. You can easily end up with all three of the middle platforms gone at once.

>>970 I should get back to this someday I finally have a computer that doesn't choke on running cuphead

Almost beaten Saltbaker. His first two phases are hard, as they both layer 2-3 attack patterns at a time continuously, but the last two phases both seem super easy. I haven't done the secret fight yet, but there must be something else to it, because even though I think there's only two bosses left, the DLC says 58% complete.
