Kissu's Palworld server is now online!

pals.kissu.moe:8211


We last played in January and there's been some big patches since then. For those who don't know, it's a third person building/Pokemon capturing game. I think the term is "open world crafting survival" or something, but it's Japanese so it's cute and quirky. People called it "Pokemon with guns", which is kind of true for the atmosphere but it's more than that.
For those that did play last time, here's the patch notes for the second major patch: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1623730/view/518574472406499342

The endgame is way overtuned and not very fun at all. I was hoping to be able to beat it via breeding and rocket launcher pals and stuff, but as I've said before it's just wasted effort. Sadly it's a pattern held by the oil rig and presumably the hard mode bosses.
They're cool ideas, but definitely need balancing.

I like how games like this are picking up steam despite their lack of super duper "modern" graphic. Makes the indie scene much more approachable to hobbyist devs and shows just how powerful fun gameplay can be towards how it's received. Maybe at some point in the future AAA takes notes, but I'd imagine not since they all want to be the forever money printer gacha like genshin because that's what raises stock value most. Feels like that industry, the AAA one, is due to collapse at some point soon... Then we'll probably see a huge surge in more indie studios popping up that'll be great for gaming in general.

PSX graphics are a bit of a fad in indie games lately. I don't hate them, but it's kind of "meh" to me. Generally those graphics have aged very terribly unless they were stylistic, which the indie games generally aren't. Good to see indie games find success, though, of course.

The new DLC releases in just a day and a half, have you beaten Mohg yet so that you can access it? Supposedly it's an all around improvement on everything that was already great with the base game and the world is enormous for being a DLC. I'm really hoping for it to be filled with little secrets and interconnectivity that makes for a great open world and was something that I sorta felt needed more polish in ER itself. Also I want it to be hard because I've gotten too good at games in recent years. AND I want more Ranni. Everything needs more Ranni.

By the way did you know there's an official spin-off gag manga about Elden Ring?

I’d never had a prostate exam before. I thought they just did that for old guys and I’m only 28. And the only thing that ever went up my butt was a thermometer when I was a baby.

I was pretty nervous when the doc told me to bend over the table. I was already naked from the rest of the exam, including the “turn your head and cough” part. I always worry I’ll get hard when he does that, and this time I could feel myself starting to a little.

He got a bunch of Vaseline on his finger and started rubbing it on my hole and I was shocked to find out how good it felt, even though it was cold. I had never played with myself there before, but this sure felt good.

Then I could feel him starting to push his finger in and I thought, “I wonder what this is going to feel like. I know some people like it. I wonder if I will. It sure feels weird.”

Well, he couldn’t seem to get his finger to go in. He kept rubbing it around and then pushing, which felt really good, but it was like my butt was saying, “No visitors!”

He told me to relax, which was kind of difficult because of all the sensations I was feeling. I think I was even getting hard! And that would be really embarrassing!

I tried to relax and suddenly it was like my butt suddenly surrendered and let him in. Oh! My! God! I’d never felt anything like it. I couldn’t help but groan. Maybe it was more of a moan, like a moan of absolute pleasure. I was immediately embarrassed. Did that sound like an orgasm? Does he think I’m gay and love anal sex? I’d never even considered such a thing!

As he felt around inside me he immediately found my prostate and I immediately felt myself get fully hard. It was amazing. I was very confused, too. Should a straight guy like this so much? It feels so weird. Do I want him to stop immediately? Or do I want him to keep going and see what happens?

I thought you were meant to look down on long-term lurkers for being pathetic cowards and freeloaders, but as the “lurk moar” meme has been taken more and more seriously, it seems people have come to see lurking for months or even years before posting anything as an integral part of board culture. I couldn't disagree with that idea more. It goes against the spontaneity that makes the internet fun. For most communities, if you can't get along with it after a few days using it, you should just leave it alone, rather than stalking it until you can pretend to fit in. And I enjoy seeing people share their first reactions to a forum or board, before gradually becoming more seasoned posters over time. It's refreshing.

Huh, did I really not reply to this thread the first time? Well, my opinion is that I don't think people should lurk very much these days. It only really works on 4chan where its massive population can support a bunch of people NOT participating. Lurking a little is good, but I don't think it takes too long to get a general feel of things. Maybe a few days, but even that might be too long. People tend to be too paranoid about standing out or being ostracized for a social faux pas, but it really needs to be egregious here to be mentioned.

AHH SURPRISE BOX! Yeah 4/qa/ was an eclectic mix, but it depends on the era. It's something that's very hard to get outside of 4chan, as people scattered to different places.

Heh. It's what it says in the tin. "/jp/" discovered the place at the turn of 2016 after a bunch of events, including the elections, caused all of 4chan to run to /qa/ to fuck the place up. I think what started it all was hiro announcing the site may die from server costs, you can trace the board almost triplicating in speed through 4stats.

It used to come up a lot more when an anime came out, whether anime should try to be more faithful to the source material when adapting even if they weren't going to cover the rest of the story of a manga. I think back then I was more partial towards the faithful camp, because I had more hope for sequels to good series back then that'd continue the series towards its more intended end.

Now though, that wish has been more or less fulfilled with most adaptations sticking close to the source material whether they end on a more conclusive note or not. But at times it feels like that was a monkey paw of sorts. Since now series simply last forever, and there's an infinite amount of different LN/Manga adaptations flowing out the gates each season with zero hope of getting a sequel. They'll always end feeling half-finished (because they are) and plenty of buildup there could be that's packed into the adaptation that has no relevance til later arcs is also left untouched. This leading to the entire anime somewhat suffering for it because it feels more like you wasted your time watching a "Read more by buying the source!" ad than anything. And honestly, when it comes to what studios are adapting nowadays, I feel like scriptwriters in these anime studios could do a far better job with the source material given to them than the majority of LN authors could do with their work.

What were they thinking? It's like they couldn't figure out how to make a full-length game so they just split into five different teams and stuck all the resulting minigames together to pad things out. It's super frustrating because the core gameplay is still fun and they clearly proved they could have made a much better game, but they just didn't and covered all the good stuff in as much tedium and distraction as possible.

I think it's because it's something you can add to make it seem like there's more to any game and it gives a sense of progression, but it seems like it takes away more than it adds. Half the upgrades in this game are completely pointless, like a bunch of HP increases and making the stupid dog marginally better at things he's never going to be doing, a few are critical to the core gameplay and make the first bit of the game feel really awkward until you can get them, and then the rest are OP shit that negates the strategy and technique you spent the earlier bits learning. Maybe they want to have that dopamine hit from a big "side quest complete" and need a spendable resource to enable that, but when the gameplay itself is fun you don't need to encourage players to interact with it.

I tried, but it's an exercise in frustration. I think I did try the katakana thing, but it was still hard to do the pitches and such. I think I also tried general TTS tricks, which I can't quite remember. (I think it was like typing "hoo" instead of "who". I didn't fully understand the UI either, but I guess part of the whole "unable to understand Japanese" thing.
