Is the Jedi Outcast line "Corellian Ale, in a clean glass" line a reference to something? I always thought it was just dissing the seedy bar's cleanliness, but I just saw the "in a clean glass" line in a 90s cartoon and searching for it I found it appears in 1983 film The Right Stuff, but this scene seems to be mentioned far more for the fact that the guy being told the line is the real Chuck Yeager. Was this line a reference to some even older work?

Any JRPG or other game with a story where the villains are not-jews who push not-judaism/not-christianity to destroy traditional "pagan" faiths, and the main characters use the powers of the traditional gods, and the final boss is the not-jewish god? There probably isn't something exactly like that, so something close enough is okay, but I don't mean just a generic "church/religion bad" or "final boss is God".

>>1918053 >church/religion bad" or "final boss is God". This meme is more widespread then the actual convention is in jrpgs ironically enough. Just like "Earthbound styled indie games about depression".

>>1918053 >and the main characters use the powers of the traditional gods You mean the gods who raped every single woman that crossed their path and killed people without a second thought? That says more about you than anything else.

>>1918053 You're not a pagan dude. At most you're larping.

>>1918122 >gods who raped every single woman that crossed their path and killed people without a second thought Where's the problem?

>>1918053 You should make it

>>1918053 Xenosaga straight up says that JC was a fraud and all the miracles was the work of the literal embodiment of the chaotic nature of life itself, if that counts

>>1918053 >Celts Mud hut tier >Slavs Mud hut tier >Germans Mud hut tier and even Hitler admitted it, said he was embarrassed by Himmler's autistic hyperfixation on any little bit of pottery dug up from the Germanic tribes and Wotan LARPing >Romans Only real civilization on this list.

>>1918779 I'm almost tempted to play it to see how full of shit this post is

>>1918967 The only thing Xenosaga explicitly says about the holy bibble beyond references is that kos-mos is a spiritual descendent of mary and is a literal roboslut.

>>1918779 I remember enjoying the first game and then the second was so god awful that I never even finished it or tried the third game. If they kept it together, I do wonder how the original idea of a 6 game series would have ended up.

>>1918954 The Romans also lived in mud huts, they literally idealised the rural life through stories of figures like Cincinnatus and in the writing of authors like Tacitus. Rome was seen as a wild city compared to places like Athens because it was composed of winding houses and streets and not very centrally planned. "Muh big buildings first" has always been a dumb argument for monkey men >Autistic hyperfixation You mean genuine interest in one's heritage? Hardly larping when you're genuinely descended from Germanic tribes and interested in where you came from. P.s. North Europe and its colonies up until the Civil Rights movement in the 60s is objectively the peak of human civilisation and mogs Italy in IQ level and productivity.

>>1929765 >The Romans also lived in mud huts Originally yes, but they eventually learned how to built other things. >they literally idealised the rural life through stories of figures like Cincinnatus and in the writing of authors like Tacitus. Some did, sure. But many others took great pride in how advanced and sophisticated they were and had great contempt for the Celtic and Germanic tribes. >"Muh big buildings first" has always been a dumb argument for monkey men The same argument is used to demonstrate the superiority of European culture to the cultures of places like Africa all the time. It's just being consistent. >North Europe and its colonies up until the Civil Rights movement in the 60s is objectively the peak of human civilisation and mogs Italy in IQ level and productivity. Technically true, but more so England and France than Scandinavia.

Say... is it really okay to concede when a game/mode is not for you solely because of its difficulty? Is this something you shouldn't beat yourself up for? I always operated on the notion that yes, if you give up on a game because of its difficulty, then you're a coward, lazy or both... but the older I get, the more I feel like I should be playing games for the sake of my enjoyment, a challenge can be fun, but those things can also take a toll on you, so you got to make some compromises. ...and I say this as I recently beat Rondo of Blood, a game I thought completely beyond me, but I ended up beating after some grinding, same was for Crash 1 back then, SMB1 and many others... but then I decided to draw the line on Mega Man & Bass cause that game is genuinely mean.

>>1930730 Its okay to concede that games aren't for you, yes.

>>1930730 Rondo is one of the easiest classic style Castlevania games, and I could beat Crash 1 when I was like 10. And Mega Man & Bass is pretty hard, but Mega Man 7 beats it just because of its final level. All that said, what you describe is how I feel about the entire shoot 'em up genre. I like it in theory, and I have fun for a few minutes at a time, but I simply cannot get good enough to really delve into any of them. I got pretty far at Gradius Gaiden one time, which is clearly one of the easiest entries in its series, but even though that game has infinite continues, I just could not do it. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. But I don't want to blame the game or entire genre because I do have fun with it. >>1930781 "Not for you" is not the same as "too hard for you."

What is the video game equivalent of this?

>>1930730 I genuinely feel the same way. I play games to enjoy them, not to have a tough time. I enjoy hard video games too as long as it's not so difficult to the point where it's ruining the enjoyment of the game and playing it is actually rewarding. People who say that you aren't a gamer because the game isn't difficult are pretentious dipshits who most likely play soulslop games primarily. I don't know how walking in a big empty map while finding useless junk or looking up guides constantly could be considered "fun". Going by the difficulty metric making a game "good", streamer bait like Getting Over it is good just because it's hard.

>>1931802 There are different kinds of difficulty. Some difficulty is bullshit, some isn't. A lot of older games that people say are insanely hard really just require a different mindset. Modern games are so easy that people just go in guns blazing, and they don't understand how older games were harder, but not to a bullshit degree. They just expected you to take your time, learn them, and be careful. And once you do, the games become reasonable and very fun. Sometimes. Some things are actually bullshit. There are games that are just actually broken, or that do actually punish you too much. I have to admit that I do have a hard time enjoying a lot of games with limited continues. There are some that I do, mostly ones I grew up with, but I do get frustrated when I spend several hours and then get sent back to square one, even though that was the majority of the games I played as a kid. Only my absolute favorites are ones I still play a lot today. On the other hand, some of these games are ones that took me like 30 years to beat, and when I finally did it, it did feel pretty rewarding.

>>1930730 I think it is, playing challenging games/modes when you not enjoying them anymore hits me as either playing due to sunk cost fallacy or trying to fit someone else's standards, or someone else's standards taken as one's own If it's not fun, why bother?

Anyone else feel like pirating somewhat ruined games for you? I've played thousands of games in my life and I will drop a game even if I recognize it as a good game. The only exception to the rule is if the game is relatively short. Not only have my expectations hightened as I've played new video games, but video games have deminished in quality over the years leaving a very unsatisfying taste in my mouth

>>1932301 >Anyone else feel like pirating somewhat ruined games for you? Nope. While I do play physical copies on certain devices, piracy is just very nice and convenient. Sounds more like your problem was playing thousands of games in your life to begin with. Too much of anything can jade anyone. I've seen the same thing happen way more frequently with fags who watch too much anime.

Can someone recommend me an anime inspired 2d action platformer? Really need something

Can you suck my dick?

Check out Sanabi, also merging thread

>>1933174 The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails

>>1934793 Missed the 2D part. Nayuta is 3D but most of the levels are sort of like 2D side scroller levels.

How CAN you challenge a perfect, immortal machine? Are there any System Shock 2 fan missions/overhauls? I'm really digging the game so far.

I need some mystery solving vidya that would be targeted to 8-10ish year olds. My nephews recently finished the Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog game and want more.

>>1936003 The Layton games. Maybe also the Phoenix Wright games, if he really wants murder mistery.
