I think if you take out the hard lock and instant turning, this game becomes near perfect. The gunplay just feels so good and I love the way impact melee has.

>>117027
I wouldn't call it near perfect. Actually I don't like the stun centered gameplay either because it turns the game into just shoot>stun>combo. This ruins melee for me because it feels sub-optimal to use for anything other than hitting a sunned enemy. Melee in previous AC games had you thinking in 5d trying to figure out how you were going to land a pilebunker. It always felt extremely satisfying. I don't get that here. I honestly think this is one of the worst AC games, but it's still a pretty good game funny enough.

The worst part though is that it's so casualized that's it's hard to believe they will just revert back to the OG AC formula since nu-AC fans will see it as "clunky."

>>117065
You can play this game on your browser, I think. It's on the internet archive. I remember seeing people online saying you could play it using the edge browser on the xbox with a controller but I'm not sure.

soul overload

I refuse to use these services or use the self checkout. I'm not bagging my own groceries and I'm not letting some random person pick out my meats, veggies and fruits. I don't use the self checkout because I don't want people to lose their jobs. They've already gotten rid of bag boys and forced the cashiers to do double duty. Now they close check out lanes and have one person watching over 4+ self checkout registers. It's annoying and the things always make you wait for someone to come over and confirm you aren't stealing.

I stopped shopping at one big box store because of these problems. If I go to my local grocery store they always have 5+ lanes open and the selection of meats is much better because it has a real butcher shop inside. They also have a real bakery.

Going to the grocery store is like the only reason why I leave the house anymore. So I guess I do "socialize" with the people there. I also like being able to walk around with a firearm inside of them. I usually run into random people also carrying and we talk shop about guns and I've even gone to the range with a few of them in the past. Never had a bad experience so far. At least the police haven't been called. I did have one lady who was obviously a Cali or NYC transplant freak out about it once and stop recording me and she threatened to call the police. But then a bunch of other people with firearms started to gather around and told her to stop being stupid. She got scared and ran off. With any hope she went back to where she came from. Our are has become flooded with such people since covid. They all moved here because of the cheap land/rent and they've been trying to get a lot of the local laws changed.

Anyway, I try to support local business so I won't use these services. We didn't even have uber and whatever the fast food delivery services were until a year or two ago. We tried one of the fast food ones but it ended up costing $10+ more than usual and the food was cold by the time it got here. I saw a lot of people doing it for side money at first but it finally calmed down. People don't like random people touching their food and we don't have lazy people here to support that kind of business plan.

My ultimate goal is no longer having to use the grocery store at all. At least not weekly. I'm working on getting chickens and eventually other livestock. I already have some cows. I want to add pigs and goats into the mix along with the chickens. I want toPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I rambled in my last reply as I usually do. I just wanted to add; The absolute worst thing about covid was all the 24/7 businesses closing and those hours never returning. I used to get all my grocery shopping done between the hours of 1-4am. It was really comfy and usually I was the only person in the store. There was always at least one checkout lane open with an actual person manning it.

Since the panic no place stays open past about 9pm here excluding the one 24/7 gas station. So now I'm forced to shop with all the other people and I hate it. The local grocery store isn't that bad. But if I go into any of the big chain grocery stores it's awful. The worst humanity has to offer on full display. People are rude and always on edge. They don't discipline their children and let them run all over the place. I've even had some steal things right out of my shopping cart just because they were too lazy to walk a few ales over and get it themselves.

Now I only go to the local place where none of the new transplants set foot in. They think it's a "racist store" because of the name or something. I don't know why they refuse to enter it since it's named after the guy's family that owns it. But whatever the reason I'm thankful. These people are insane. They assume all the locals are dumb and they keep trying to "educate" us on social issues. We never had a problem with "racism" until they started moving here in droves. City won't do anything about them because they're made so much money off taxing the new residents since covid. We've had a lot of outsider investors coming in to convert old factories and buildings into apartments for these people. They even let them have a bar right on main street after denying the locals that for years. We'll probably be bred out in a generation or two.

I get free bags at self-checkout

The past few months I've tried ordering protein bars in bulk off Amazon, but I don't think this is the way to be doing things. I think this stuff is cheaper to buy at Costco, but Costco has a limited selection in the store naturally. I think you can order stuff online from them, but I've heard it's not as cheap.

Do people ever make their own protein bars? I wonder how that would work, just buying a bunch of oats and peanut butter and stuff. but I don't think it would last for weeks at a time without vacuum sealing or something...

>>132651
>Do people ever make their own protein bars?
you can make a big sheet of it then cut it up into lines but it's definitely not going to last you weeks and i'm not sure how practical it is for someone who's looking to buy in bulk in the first place

I think most of the stuff has already been said so I can't offer much. I guess you should avoid drying out your skin, which means you should avoid taking showers too often. Those people that shower every day (or even twice!) are stripping away all the oil and beneficial bacteria that keeps the skin protected. Obviously it can't be avoided if you have a physical job and you get sweaty/dirty, though. I guess you would need a good moisturizing cream setup in that situation.

>>131930
Oh yeah, speaking of washing. People say you should avoid "sodium lauryl sulfate" in soap and shampoo as it's very effective at removing oils. That can be a good thing when it comes to cleaning contaminates, but it can also be a bad thing since it's so good at removing the body's protective oils. When you get stuff without it, though, it's far less effective at producing a lather so it's more annoying to use.

Facial hear has an impact, often when I find out how old a Youtuber is it surprises me because they are actually younger than I think they are, often they are even younger than me. Atlas Pro is an example of this(I forget how old he is but I know it was younger than I am).

https://anilist.co/anime/5040/One-Outs/ One Out's is like the only direct comparision series. But it's more like BaseBall Akagi than Kaiji

and
>In 2018, he became a Riichi Mahjong professional affiliated with the Japan Professional Mahjong League. In the same year he was drafted by the Team RAIDEN professional Mahjong team for the participation of the team Riichi Mahjong tournament M-League.

That was great, although a little bit drawn out at times to build suspense which I don't always enjoy.
Since we didn't actually see any splats, I was expecting a reveal that the people that fell were actually falling into netting and hidden away. I guess a little public mass murder is alright when that much money is involved.
It's good, storywise, that Kaiji fails so much while he's simultaneously a genius. It makes him very relatable and it keeps you engaged. The villains are good, too, not simply cartoon villains but are believable in their twisted minds. Realistic?
Good stuff.

It takes place in an under construction hotel so I think the assumption is that this would be swept under the rug as work-place accidents

The moment he let Hyodo keep his hand inside the box for longer than him while expecting the guy to be unable to counter, that's where he lost. That's the point where he let things slip from his grasp, and yeah, a good deal of that comes down to underestimating Hyodo.

You don't need to be artistic (but maybe a little autistic) to play a low-tech version of a game.

I don't like gacha on principle. The idea of a forever game people sink most of their money into really repels me since it mostly means that people will just sink funds into a single product/company. Then instead of having the motivation from prior success to develop more games the incentive is to just work on adding new things to the old game until it's no longer as profitable then shutting it down for a new shiny one the dev can coast off name recognition to ensure some semblance of success. It's not like the gameplay or anything about them is really that complex or warranting continual development. It's just designs that people are in them for and for the company it's about maximizing the amount of money they can wring out of the userbase for the least amount of effort. NIKKE being the shining example of this IMO.

The only really good gacha is mahjsouls since it's more cosmetic sales overlayed atop a more complex game that's the main driver of its success. And there's one exception to 'forever games' that I can potentially understand and it's MMOs that are constantly trying to innovate and achieve a more ideal state. Though most of those eventually end up cruising on name recognition or established playerbases too (WoW being extremely egregious in this sense). I just can't wait until the industry blows up in gacha devs faces and people stop feeling the desire to pour endless amounts of their money into a fleeting product.

Probably the tipping point will be once AI progresses enough that these gacha stop feeling any reason to contract human artists to work on them. Then they'll become a completely parasitic existence that feeds back nothing into the community.

I understand this, but some developers use the funds to fund other projects. FGO is so low budget that they've been using their gachabux to fund Tsukihime remake, Fate Extra Record, anime projects, and other stuff. NIKKE's devs also developed Stellar Blade.

there should be rubberbanding in jong

there is, if you're dealt a great hand that's nearly ready for a yakuman and you assemble it right you win

It's good when I'm losing and it's bad when I'm winning.

>>132412
There are different degrees to it, though. Getting pulled back to a group of similar skill players is a lot easier to accept than getting pulled to the back of the pack because of something completely out of your control. In MK8 I've come close to double lapping people online and it's basically just doing a time trial at that point, which isn't a lot of fun. But then you've got MKWii where the first two laps feel totally pointless half the time because the whole race comes down to the last set of item boxes. Even when I do shoot from 12th to 1st it doesn't feel earned and the possibility that ranking manipulation might be the optimal strategy just feels wrong.

I think the goal should be to keep the tempo of the game up rather than to shuffle up the rankings. Keeping the pack together is good, but not at the expense of constantly forcing people to stop and wait for others to catch up.

I don't really see much rubberbanding in OJ, it just uses a deceptive progression system where normas get progressively harder to achieve. If you play towards the final goal, the only real redistribution mechanism is the bosses, but calculating that in is part of strategizing for each character. More of a balance thing for the retards who pick defensive characters than anything.

>>132425
>It's good when I'm losing and it's bad when I'm winning.
forgot that this was a response to the OP and so i read it like it was some extreme maso post

I heard my town recently got a service where you can call to be picked up and driven places during certain times, but I didn't really do any reading into it. There are a couple bus stops around here, but whenever I see a bus it's like 5% full with only a few people on it. I live near the line between a larger city (still small) and town (very small and I'm in the town) and I think the buses only drive on the streets which are technically the city. The bus stops have ads for Narcan which is an emergency medication to combat opiate ODs so it kind of tells you the atmosphere of the busing and why I'd only use it if my life was dependent on it.
I would like to visit a place where public transportation isn't, uhh.... like this one day.

The trains are very heavily loaded all the time because there is no parking space in the city and roads are difficult to navigate and drive.

Combined with the fact that there are like 3 sports teams in the city means that every day in the sports season the trains are filled with loud sports fans. Lots of them live in the far suburbs but they would rather park at the train stations and take the trains to the city than driving there.

I live in a university town so there's a relatively decent bus service for helping poorfags get around. I could probably get by my daily commute with that, but I've never had a reason to actually use it. Trains are for freight, putting people on them is a violation of their human rights.

There's around 0 bus stops near me that I have knowledge of. In terms of trains there's the Northeast Corridor Line around 6 miles away without any really reliable walking route to it, and the roads are hazardous with people zipping along them so biking is a bit of a danger too. And it doesn't really take me anywhere more speedily than simply driving around to anywhere in a closer distance would take me.

There is one walkable konbini near me that my house has a mostly path to, it's around a mile walk. There's some nice plazas with restaurants and stuff too the other way around which is a bit over 3 miles walking, but runs into a similar problem as the train station in that all walking paths are gone at some point and there's no bike lanes so to bike I'd need to share the road/highway with drivers going ~50 mph. I don't really like the thought of trying that so I just drive everywhere. At the very least there's a lot of nice local shops/farms to drive to.

>>132417
>and there's no bike lanes so to bike I'd need to share the road/highway with drivers going ~50 mph.

Stupidly, you often have to put your bike on a vehicle and drive somewhere to ride it somewhere actually enjoyable.

'Crossover' can be fun if it's not just two popular characters posing with each other, but related in some themed way that makes sense. Also 'what' can be funny.
I don't generally go looking through a booru without something in mind to search for, since I feel like I've aged out of the newer hip source material.

Oh, I may have heard of Gardevoir. Hmm, yes, I've seen some things.
But seriously the Gardevoir is one of my favorite lines. Gallade is one of my favorite Pokemon to play, although it kind of feels like cheating to have Fighting and Psychic moves at the same time. Also they look like plant types and I really like plant creatures in these games, although Grass seems kind of underwhelming when compared to some others. Really fun status stuff at least.

May is the one with big tits.
Dawn is the one who goes nopan.

The English dub voice actress of Misty/Jessie/Jigglypuff passed away and I'm feeling unexpectedly saddened by it. Her voices were really quite amazing. Cancer...
I think Misty awakened a lot of boys to puberty and I was one of them. The strong personality tomboy type that has occasional glimpses of femininity or vulnerability like her fear of Bug types is really endearing. I think Misty permanently influenced my preferences.
Dubs these days are terrible, but some of the older ones were really something special. It feels like just like American 2D animation itself is gone, American dubbing has fallen into the abyss.
