Doki Doki Literature Club is the GOAT. Can any VN gamers recommend something similar? Every other VN game I’ve tried had me wishing it was just a book and quitting before the end.

No, JD Vance has the face of a feral human stranded on an island for wayward kitties. Watched this episode of Metalocalypse immediately before the debate and it made the whole thing far more enjoyable

Yes but that one guy is an idiot as people have died from drinking less than a quart. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2015/03/27/no-its-not-safe-to-drink-weed-killer-on-camera-but-who-cares/

How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

The mask is just there to hide that we’re a vassal state of the USA.

The biggest consequence was a settlement payment to those mistreated. Which didn’t come out of the police budget or pension so basically they got to force the taxpayer to bail them out for their incompetence after the government already paid over a billion dollars for extra security.

If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don’t need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you’ll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.

Without Oldboy on the list at all, I can’t take the site or the author seriously. None of those movies even come close to the horrifying revenge of Oldboy. It evokes a special kind of darkness that stays with you long after viewing.

To those in this thread who may not have seen it yet, make sure you watch the original Korean movie. The makers of the American version didn’t have the balls to get the story right.

The article ULS linked specifically says “ran it over with a snowmobile” on the third paragraph.

I think taping her own mouth shut is her way of proving the wolf wasn’t tortured. She’s completely oblivious to the pain of the animal being run over, then dragged around while injured and restrained. It should come as no surprise that she supports the actions of the monster she created.

I appreciate the reasoned response. Maybe by the end of the game the pay items don’t feel limited, but they did in the first 20 hours I played before returning it.

If I was disappointed solely at the sales compared to my dislike then you’re right to think its nonsense. What I’m disappointed in is a business I have loyally and regularly purchased from for over 30 years compromising their product and making it worse to try and fleece more money. I also worry deeply that the game selling well despite the flak means every major developer will find their own way to follow suit and refine the tactic until it becomes the norm.

I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

Sure if 20 hours in isn’t far. I was at Battahl when I returned the game

Didn’t know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don’t assume others are too.

It absolutely is. Wakestones are limited without microtransactions and there are plenty of poorly explained quests where one could easily kill something they shouldn’t. It happened to me. I even saved right before to try and be safe only for the game to autosave over the second the npc attacked me. The only save you have full control over is your second save tied to the inns, which are expensive and inferior to camping due to the buffs camping provides.

This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.

Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.

Endometriosis is more common than people without vaginas realize and it often goes undiagnosed. My wife was gaslit about the pain of gyno procedures for two whole decades until the a doctor finally diagnosed her. A diagnosis which only came due a tubal ligation procedure forcing the doctors to physically see all the scar tissue inside her.

Yeah it could probably use a cunt at the end for maximum efficacy

There are some baby sturgeons that Germany hopes will result in a stable population. However it will be decades before anyone can tell if that was successful. That isn’t at all comparable to the Americas where somewhat stable populations have persisted. We’re talking about creatures that live longer than humans and reach sexual maturity later. There is a very real chance that predators and invasive species will prevent or otherwise complicate any reintroduction efforts.

To say there are wild sturgeon in Germany when there hasn’t been a known wild birth since 1964 and the few they have in their waterways were all captive bred releases from caviar farms is disingenuous.

My initial google-fu did not indicate as much and your comment made me research as to why. These animals take decades to reach sexual maturity and the last time a wild sturgeon was known to have reproduced in Germany was in 1964. So while they have been reintroduced, no one can say for sure yet if that reintroduction has been successful.
