What are your reasons for watching anime or playing games when you can't physically gain anything from them? I know what mine are, but I'm curious what other people would say.

Everyone's been yelling and screaming about it, so I'm afraid to admit it. But I'm probably getting a Switch 2 as well just to enjoy playing the new games on it. I don't want to think about all the difficult thoughts and lose myself in gaming.

Since the Switch 2 is coming out finally, I've been taking the opportunity to work my way through the Switch library and I really don't see how it's become such a big thing. Once you take out all the inferior Wii U ports and demakes, the top games are:
¥ the worst Zelda games outside of the cd-i
¥ the worst 3D Mario game
¥ another totally-not-NSMB but without fun multiplayer or level flow
¥ the worst Fire Emblems since Gaiden
¥ the worst Pokemon games of all time
¥ the new worst Pokemon games of all time
¥ babbies first XCOM
¥ babbies first Valkyria Chronicles
¥ the worst Pikmin of all time, and that includes Hey!

It feels like the whole library of new stuff is just legacy franchises running on fumes. It's probably only better than the Wii U by merit of porting over all of its good games already. It's just baffling to me that this is one of their most successful consoles of all time when all the stuff that held up previous consoles is floundering hard this time around. Dread is the only thing left on my list I have any real hope for. Am I missing something or is the console really just being propped up by norms being able to play PC indies on the go?

I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm mentally twisting myself into knots just trying to play devil's advocate over this. This genuinely reads like the sort of bait I'd read on 4chan's /v/. Olimar Mode alone pushes Pikmin 4 miles ahead of Hey Pikmin.

Anonymous 04/28/25 (Mon) 15:27:38 No.5776

Hey went for something completely different and did an acceptable job at it. I understand if you dislike the approach, but i's not a mainline game and it makes no attempt to pass itself off as one. It's a decent puzzle-platformer to pass time with on your handheld.

Pikmin 4 is a bastardization of the formula and Olimar mode is a giant troll. It pretends to offer you traditional Pikmin 1 gameplay with a little extra challenge and the first two or three days are great, the it shoves a big middle finger in your face and tells you to hop on the fucking dog and use the fucking superpowers that materialize out of thin air every night if you want to progress any more.

I think our fundamental disagreement is on the dogs (and a lot of the other additional features, honestly, although I'm more sympathetic about your complaints regarding the items). They do make 4 even easier than 3 with regards to just beating the game with minimal losses, but I also think if we're looking at this from an efficient play perspective, they're just an additional tool in the toolbelt. You should realistically split your time between riding them and using them as a second captain, for example, as the situation demands, and that adds some more depth than prior, where the incentive to keep the captains together is relatively small.

I mentioned Olimar Mode in particular for that reason, too, since it cuts away a lot of the additional bullshit that 4's main mode in favour of something which makes it clear the focus is on getting as much done in as little time as possible. It's really good at getting you to think about the best way to navigate the maps and made me appreciate their design. In comparison, Hey Pikmin is just a mediocre-alright puzzle platformer, highly forgettable fodder.

>Hey Pikmin is just a mediocre-alright puzzle platformer, highly forgettable fodder.
I agree with you there, that's why I use it to emphasize how much 4 pisses me off.

There are hardly any reasons to split off from the dog because the speed boost, movement abilities, and attack power he provides are just too good. Outside of the very early game where your pikmin limit prevents you from multitasking anyway he's never going to be stopped long enough to switch around anyway, so you only break up in those late game challenges so you can abuse his 100 weight carrying. The normal levels just aren't laid out for walking speed, which is only emphasized by the jumps that force you to use him just to traverse. 3's multitasking was good because they existed purely to do multitasking and face things from different angles. Maybe if you're doing speedruns there are situations where splitting up in 4 is optimal, but in normal play it's just creating unnecessary risk.

Basically, the other captains didn't replace the pikmin, the dog does.

Nope, that's it. I'm done. I can't take watching this anymore. I saw it topping the weekly charts on that one abema ranking for a bit, and I tried to see why, but I can't. It's irredeemable. It's not sexy, it's not that cute, it's not written well, the animation sucks, I hate every character. Were it not for the fact I saw people talking about it being like "Mushoku but better" I wouldn't have touched it. In what world is this better than Mushoku? In what world is this lauded as anything but a heaping pile of trash. Why did this get so much advertising and initial popularity? Thankfully it seems to be falling off a cliff on the popularity charts so that's one thing to put my mind at ease.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Combat, exploration, party building, and the silly extra stuff are all fun, music is great, and the setting and story so far are cool. Only real issue I have with it is a lot of the character writing is pretty bad, mostly the women. They're all pretty bland and dialogue just kind of drags on without actually saying much.
Mostly though it's just exciting to play a game that actually feels like a new thing instead of just tweaking something I've played before.

And to actually answer the question in the OP no I'm mostly just dodging because I'm a coward but the times I do parry the counters seem really strong so I probably should do it more.

Have you ever completed the original games? I recently went back to the first one and finished the first difficulties quite easily. Some levels are way harder than the others in those ones though.

What's the appeal of these games? They seem quite simple as you only have a few options to pick from. But you usually need to find a way to delay the lemmings, build bridges and dig tunnels precisely while exploiting some behaviors like interrupting a digger with the builder skill.

I recommend using SuperLemmix as it adds QoL features like rewinding, turbo fast forward, hotkeys and replay saving while having a nice interface. It also includes all original levels released with the different versions of the game and retains classic gameplay. New skills like "swimmer" and "grenadier" are also available on NeoLemmix/SuperLemmix but they're made for custom levels, like the Lemmings 2 inspired ones, and are not available in the originals. For more information, read the official threads on Lemmings Forums!

Note: you might have fullscreen issues when playing through Wine, use a virtual fullscreen or play in windowed mode to avoid that issue.

>is it worth playing the PSP era remake, or is it too casual?
At the time, it was probably the best way to play the original game. It has a zoom feature, fast-fowarding and you can assign skills to lemmings when the game is paused (which is a welcomed QoL feature as you don't have to restart the level that often). The PSP-exclusive levels are also nice and fit the original game nicely. It also includes a level editor but I never tried to share my levels with others. So, except if you consider Lemmings 1 easy or if you really hate features that avoid wasting your time, the game isn't casual.

Nowadays, I'd play the unofficial ports mentioned in the OP as they have even more features than the PSP version and they including a level editor. The only things I miss from the PSP version are the nice backgrounds/textures and the much more relaxing OST. It's still a good game to play on the go, on original hardware or on your phone.

I was wary of Lazarus from the start considering it looked like there was a strong western hand in it to the point the main releases were for the dub, but the action was well done so I gave it a chance. And what I get is an episode where a transgender talks to a black about how discrimination drove them to be homeless/criminals. Considering the premise of the show is "what if the government approved an unsafe medication that ended up killing everyone who took it after a few years" I really thought that it would only be political in the kooky conspiracy theory way you can laugh at. This just kills my interest.

To some extent, because I find such types tiring. "oh no the story has a thing I don't like politically in it" is a very frustrating useless form of critique.
Especially when it comes in the variety of "this was thrown in FOR NO REASON", clearly it is there for a reason. Things in stories are generally present for reasons. This sort of attitude makes me wonder if there is a point about the media in question being made at all, or whether it is an attempt at signaling certain beliefs to others.

Because Watanabe is so talented on the visual side of the things personally he's also always attracted a lot of talent in that field to work with him. Tensai Okamura is responsible for a lot of those great action scenes storyboards in Bebop, and he's back working on Lazarus, for a low hanging example.

No nostalgia for it in the Anglosphere.
Anime boomed in the West over the course of the 90s and early 00s.
So 80s OVA and 90s and 00s TV shows form the nostalgic core of the community.
Something from before that age is just basically foreign, even to veterans of the anime community.

I mean, it's still technically more accurate since it specifies the gender and more closely aligns with his preferred age-range, but yeah it's pretty dumb to get upset about that stuff when context gives all that already.

I don't think people would have cared about his predilections all that much if he'd been a strong ruler and sired many children. He simply lacked the qualities of a ruler and used the luxuries of his position to run away from his duties. It's more a criticism of a system that requires an unfit man to take the reigns and showing how much effort needs to be put into fixing things up after a bad ruler.

Yeah you're probably right. The resentment towards him being a coward momma's boy who practically handed over the position of Emperor to his mother stains the view of the emperor far more than him taking some child wives.

It's weird to see people still making shitpost romhacks into the current day. They're exactly like the ones I was playing back in the 2000s, but all of the memes have been replaced with modern ones.

It's good to see, yeah. Well, there's a lot less penises and swastikas in that video ,but maybe that's youtube limitations. Mario and Sonic are both known for getting a crapload of ROMhacks to this day, and I guess Pokemon too although Pokemon tends to be more involved.
Just strong communities in general.

They might still be around because they're harder to get DMCA'd into oblivion (especially sonic ones), whereas if you make some shitpost YTP for example it'll get DMCA'd and removed from youtube.

Yeah it's a lot harder to go after random ROMs scattered across the web that don't get much attention. Although I hope that AI doesn't make it easier..

Good to see that people are the same as they ever were.

So /qa/, which is it? Do you stay true to your Japanese spirit or are the enticements from the west just too alluring?

I think i want to like wrpgs but they always let me down. When it comes to story telling jrpgs do it better since the alleged freedom of wrpgs is an illusion. They betray my imagination by just giving me a few limited options.
The best thing for me would be something like bethesda games with the main storyline removed. Then jrpgs, then wrpgs last.

So I take it you're quite into modded Skyrim

I played it a bunch, but bethesda games are such a hassle to mod its been a years. I basically get every bethesda game despite the entire appeal being kirkbrides writing carried over to later TES and the engine itself which is simultaneously something everyone complains about but also allows for the feeling of immersion via environmental interaction. I think i liked NV most, it didnt really have a main storyline - while it did technically it was basically a sidequest in the worlds progression so it felt like one erand your character went on instead of the whole centralized point. Instead the progression and happenings of the entire wasteland was the games main story.

You know what a good game is, is kenshi

The only JRPGs I've played have been porn RPG Maker games and Pokemon.
For WRPGs, I've been enjoying Baldur's Gate 3, recently. I was a bit disappointed with the big final update, because they introduced a celestial druid class, but the VFX look like a glitter bomb instead of starry skies or whatever it was meant to be.

Why not just let yourself become apathetic towards magic rather than let it consume your mind. Surely there’s healthier ways for her to live.

She thinks things through and always sees the big picture, but her motives are still pretty mundane. She wants to teach the Exile, she wants to show the Jedi masters they were wrong and she was right, and she wants to put an end to Sith that cast her out. There was no simple way to take out Nihilus and getting the Jedi to admit their mistakes was impossible even with all she did. She doesn't think the force makes you weaker either, else she wouldn't have taught it to you, she just realizes that relying on it creates a vulnerability.

She doesn't have any other skills or connections.

>She doesn't think the force makes you weaker either
she does
consider pic and the importance she places on the individual's independent will, and consider her disdain for the impact of the force's will on everyone that she expresses in the final speech you quoted, that's why she calls it a poison
it's not just a vulnerability, it goes against her general philosophy and that's why she calls it a mistake
the power of revan and of the exile that she refers to is the power to easily create force bonds, and severing these bonds after creating them was the tool that she wished to use to ultimately destroy people's sensitivity to the force
because she is pragmatic and cares more about consequentialism than deontology or virtue ethics, she is willing to betray her ideal and allows you to form these bonds and influence others in the same way she decides to restore your force sensitivity, to manipulate you into fulfilling her goals
but at the same time, because she cares so much about autonomy, she tells the exile with her dying breath that she'll respect any choice they make, it's their decision, not hers, after placing herself as obstacle to lead the exile to more personal growth
she believes in these things, and isn't simply wielding them as an excuse

First of all, Revan wasn't particularly gifted in force bonds. He himself commented on how the Exile was unique in this and how it would lead to his downfall.
Second, Kreia only used force bonds to guide the Exile and his crew, her plan was to stack immense tragedies like Malachor together in just the right way that their echoes would make it impossible to hear the Force over.

She states that Revan was like the heart of the Force and that "Revan was power" and she adamantly refuses to believe a single thing he did was wrong or flawed. He was her perfect student. She also frequently acknowledges the great strengths one can gain from the Force and looks down on those with no understanding of it. She chides Hanharr for letting his code hold back his strength, in the same way the Jedi and Sith let theirs prevent them from calling forth their full power. His strength doesn't make him weaker, quite the contrary, it's his inability to let go of what gave him that strength that is limiting him. It's the same with Sion and Nihilus, they are immensely powerful, but they've completely lost control of themselves in the process and are thus failures. For her, success is being like Revan, someone who was always true to himself no matter what side he fell under.

It's her pragmatism that makes her teach and use it even if she hates the large scale implications of it, though part of that is her own inability to escape her past as a high-minded Force scholar. Autonomy is not her primary concern. She is mad about the dualistic nature of the Force resulting in her being doubly exiled, but she is a teacher above all and her primary objective was always to raise another as great as her first. That is simply more important to her than her disgust towards the living force and so she sets the Exile up to decide his own path after graduation.

Big season for Kreias. This one is a teacher and a sneaky betrayer who hides his presence too.
