Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Please do not justify it with a lie. No, slice of life is not an excuse for boring. Slice of life is a whole genre on its own, and sometimes it can be more interesting than non-stop action. Can we not make shit up when we, ironically, discuss made up shit?

Wait, somebody please explain this to me cause I'm genuinely lost here. Project 2025 is losing him support? It's not good PR nor popular with his base?

Playing it now and I got the same impression. When it comes to Fromsoft, it's always been love-hate for me. I adore a few things, I can't stand others. I'll give Elden Ring this much: the whip is fun to use.

Elden Ring DLC: I dunno why I insist on playing on with no guides. Thankfully, I do have a way to "fix" quests if I screw up NPC interactions.

I'd agree but I didn't find it fun. Ah well. Metroid Prime 4 getting a release date is good.

Goku's villains (not counting anything past Z cause bleh): Piccolo: Spared for Kami's sake and Dragon Balls. Totally killed Piccolo senior. Vegeta: A foe like no other. Buu: Reincarnation. Freeza: For me, I'd hesitate to ignore anyone begging for help, especially at his state. "Killed" later anyway.

I stopped after Zexal second half at episode 10 or so. Tbph it is the most cringe of yugioh thus far... and I loved it still! I may continue it one day, we'll see. My ranking for watched completely: GX > 0 > DM > 5D's. I dunno what it is about GX that made me like both lighthearted and dark.

I admit my standards are weird for what in anime offends me (besides racist stuff and what not). FMA:B did that with 3 of the 4 episodes I watched. I was mentally prepared for THAT moment (the fit I'd have thrown if I wasn't), but other stuff are why I'll never give it another chance.

When you got time, check out Castlevania Symphony of the Night's Saturn exclusive tracks. The oddest of the bunch have to be the versions of Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Beginning. A normal person would reject them with every fibre of their being. I wonder what that feels like...

I dunno about the rest of you, but I can't say my list will say anything good about me. Whatever. List your top five female characters: 1. Noriko Takaya 2. Shichijou Aria 3. Fujiko Mine 4. Arale 5. Haman-sama BANZAAAAAIII

Nintendo have pulled so much BS that my kneejerk reaction is "what's the REAL reason"? If that's it, good. Nintendo still suck in many other ways and I say it's fair to bring them up every time. E.g. Nintendo Online sucks and it's ridiculous there's a premium pack.

Sounds like fun. I wanna try out all weapons in Iceborne, but I'm avoiding monhun for reasons. Also, testing out spells in Elden Ring. Loads of fun tbh, and like weapon skills most are usable but some work better for me than others.

Didn't Power Puff Girls of all things have an episode where "crime is now legal"? I didn't think it was a warning.

Ganondorf is Arab Gerudo "warriors" are harem girls Ganondorf is their again because again harem Arabian music used for 2 dungeons while 1 straight up uses Muslim prayers as "creepy" dungeon music I suggest don't think too hard on this. It could be just me. Still, hearing Fire Temple shocked me.

*Metroid 1 is shit! But it can be fun to go through if you draw your own map with progress. Seriously, it felt like an achievement of sorts.

Games I hate are tricky. I must have played them for hours to garner such an emotion, and for games like that they're divisive at best. I do hate OoT for blatant Islamophobia themes but like real life nobody cares... and Nintendo updated future releases to somewhat fix it.

Busy week, politically? I've commented a few times and I shouldn't add much more. Rather, I might periodically remind everyone how much the powers that be wish to erase Palestine. Not daily, no images; a short reminder for your health's sake. These are bleak times but you still deserve joy.

It's been a tough period. Japanese media website niconico has suffered a cyberattack early June and it still hasn't recovered. Ok, hardly a top priority for most. In light of recent news, what should you do? What you can. And you're capable of much more than what you can imagine.

I would advise against sports in general. A single phrase like "it's coming home" is enough to generate so much hate I'd wish war crimes to befall a country.

Not that different from corrections made to my essays tbh. I can't say they were all wrong, I'm not an accomplished writer in any field, but still it felt like my style was being denied.

Anime fan opinions: don't try too hard. Always keep an arm's length distance if you have to be close, and they can be interesting. Get too close and it's like talking to a wall.

It's why I'm don't play Ace Attorney games in EN. I'd argue the localization is superior with all the name changes and joke creativity. OG Gyakuten Saiban feels much dryer and straight forward, so both can be seen separately. I dunno why, but OG worked better for me. AA felt off.

Quick word on localization: 9/10 times the source isn't as creative with its wording. And rarely you'll get gold like below! That said, it's not for me. Sure, a change like this irks me (she made no such joke) but so do minor translation differences. Some words in JP don't exist in EN and vice versa

I do have a hot political take but let people recover. Elden Ring: Be it skill issue or build making it clear it's skill issue, I'm getting my ass handed to me left and right... in rando helper summons. I dunno, I'm guessing the issue might be skill.

I do this because it is part of the fun. I don't want to let weapons/spells rot in storage while I run a single comfortable set all game till I win. I know I can beat the game, but I wanna see a bit of what it has to offer when I'm rewarded for completing challenges.

Elden Ring: the option to rebalance my build is there. Much as I appreciate it, it's still a major hassle unlike in Monster Hunter. Instead of ED's stats, its armor perks and simply switch around what I have or forge. Weapons might need upgrading but not ED's level of scarcity and expense.

Ancient Roman... is a timeless classic that surpasses the heralded Final Fantasy 7 with its shocking story and stellar voice acting. Ode to the Sunset Era has such wonderful singing magic you've never heard in your life. Never played either. I just watch him.

Remember when people posted pictures of him next to Ghislaine Maxwell? That's not just a "caught in 4K lol" moment, it's literally who he is. Elon Musk is friends with pedophiles because he is a pedophile.

Emulator. I know, I know, touch controls are a pain. But once you learn the limits and effective save stating it's quite passable. RPGs especially feel good, and best part is you can move saves between mobile and PC any time.

Elden Ring savescumming: Sometimes, beating a boss doesn't feel satisfying until you play a few more bouts. "I can beat them like that, but I wanna beat them a different way" "I wanna actually learn the patterns and git gud" Something along those lines.

Elden Ring savescumming: Man, it sure is fun to kill NPCs just to see what happens... Turns out they die when they're killed 😐 Still, from my experience in the base game, that approach is tempting. Can't believe Elden Ring's story gave me depression.

Despite previously writing a column called "The Three Episode Test," I don't believe in the concept. A great TV show should capture your interest not just episode to episode, but minute to minute. I don't want to watch a bad show that becomes a good show, I want a good show that becomes a great show

I dunno if it's due to my preference but I do feel more invested in het couples. Then again, maybe it's by design? Call it a hunch, but since there are yuri/yaoi anime now that deliver, maybe it cooled excitement on pairings that aren't explicitly spelled out.

What makes me basic is liking so much shonen anime openly. There are a few exceptions (I can name at least 2 mainstream, 2 new risers and 3 beloved 90s "classics" that I don't care for) but I enjoy action, plot and especially characters. It's incredibly flawed, and that's part of the fun too.

I like to hate. Easiest target is Major's main character Goro. After that Dragon Ball's Beerus, though its his existence more than himself. I know I have others but those 2 live rent-free in my mind.
