I'm trying to find a quote where someone described some elaborate aspic monstrosity as if it was a legendary Dwarf Fortress artifact. The only things I remember is something like "spikes menacing with aspic" and "a dwarf is eating the aspic. The dwarf is crying."

Might have been in a previous quote thread, taken from the anti-food porn thread or something? Forums search and google hasn't been helpful so far.

Gameko posted:

Maybe I does. Maybe that's why I like it...

This isn't the place to get into a long debate on it but folks who are on the fence might want a little more granularity. Here's my pocket review. Nier is first and foremost an action game that has a good bit of variation in the gameplay: most of the time it's a 3d brawler but it often switches into 2d action and occasionally turns into a bullet-hell shooter. If you play it on easy difficulty the game pretty much plays itself. (My three year old can play it reasonably competently at that difficulty.) On normal the fights can be punishing but there are some cheesy tactics which can trivialize combat and there are certain upgrades (chips) which again make it fairly simple. As I stated before, it's probably as easy or as hard as you want it to be.

The art style and music definitely fits the 'Japanese game' mold without going completely off the deep end, at least in my opinion. The main character looks like a pop diva in black lace. Her main side kick is a pretty boy type character who is...also in black lace. During the frantic action scenes, it can be a bit difficult to tell the two of them apart, which is one of my criticisms of the game. It's awesome that it switches up gameplay modes so often and the perspective can shift about and everything looks kickass, but it can be hard to figure out what's going on and you can get lost. You will occasionally die from an enemy you didn't realize was there or because you lost track of which dot on the screen is you. YMMV on this point...I admit I had an easier time of it when I sat closer to my TV while playing on the PS4.

As for the story, it might not be productive to get into a discussion on what is an anime plot, but in any case this is a game which doesn't subscribe to tons of anime tropes. You're not going to see characters hitting each other with dimensional hammers, have some dopey high school boy get into a situation where six eligible girls are fighting over him, no boob falls, no weird gropes, no peeping in the hot springs, not a school uniform in sight. All that being said, you get some Japanese-y, anime-y plot elements from time to time that (IMHO) are well executed and don't break the flow or momentum of the game. I don't really want to give any examples here because the trope-y parts are pretty sparse and I don't think they'll be a turn off even if you really hate anime. (Like me.)

The overall plot of the game does feel fairly anime, in my opinion, but it's anime in a good way. It's anime in a feature film way (read: anime even Gameko will watch) rather than a thing that got slopped out for an OAV way. Again, I don't want to get into spoilers but in Nier you play an android whose duty it is to wage war on a race of robots who have taken over the earth. The androids were built by human-kind while the earth-ruling robots were created by an invading alien force (sound anime yet?). The overall meta-plot of the game deals with what it means to be human, the existential nature of existence, and learning to cope with emotions when they threaten to overwhelm one's sense of self and one's sense of duty.

What's really great about the game's plot is it's a fine example of show-don't-tell. Characters show how they feel through action (generally with the player engaging in a kick-rear end fight). Cut scenes are appropriately placed AFTER the big fight rather than presented as punctuated interruptions to the flow of the game. Furthermore, cut scenes are awesome and paced such that they give you just the right amount of room to relax following a big battle. In short, you'll get a good story experience out of Nier and you'll see some awesome orchestrated, cut scenes but you WON'T be playing one of those mostly movie occasionally game-type Squaresoft titles.

Finally, the game is meant to be played through a few times and each individual playthrough is relatively short. My first play took 16 hours, and that's with me doing a fair bit of side quest content and in general looking at everything and taking my time. (I like to drink in the content.) It's a great game to pick up and play, put down for a while, and resume. This is important to me as there are a lot of releases this month I want to look at. Also, there's a fair bit of difference between the English voice acting and the Japanese voice-acting, at least from what I've seen. If you happen so speak Moonspeech fluently you can get even more play just comparing the English VA version of the main characters to the Japanese versions. So far I've played the Japanese mostly and watched other people in the house play in English. It's pretty nifty.

Anyway, I love Nier and I recommend you pick it up, whether it be anime or no.

From the funny pictures thread:

Had to have the vet out to work on Russell and his troublesome genitals again today. Heads up for discussions of male animal anatomy, veterinary care, and some serious ickiness.

Some of you might remember my post about Russell and his sheath problems a few months ago. His sheath swelled up and there was a large, bloody sore on the end of it so I called the vet out. Vet cleaned him out (which I’d just done a couple months before) and in addition to some serious nastiness inside his sheath he also found lots of small growths of tissue on his penis. Had one biopsied and we found out that Russell has equine papillomavirus. Those growths can become cancerous but unfortunately there’s not really anything we can do about it. In the meantime, those extra growths of tissue sometimes cause irritation which is what happened about a week ago.

His sheath swelled up and was bloody again so I did what the vet had me do last time (give him penicillin shots for a week) which cleared him up then. This time he was fine for a couple days after the round of antibiotics but then his sheath started to smell awful (I could smell him from several yards away) and it was crusty, goopy, and had some bloody discharge coming out of it so I had the vet come back out today.

In addition to those growths we had biopsied before (which have gotten a little larger in the last few months), the head and tip of his penis and the inside of the wall of tissue surrounding his penis are all very rough and wrinkled. Look almost like coral or a brain. Those areas are all supposed to be mostly smooth. Because they are so full of crevasses, dirt, dead skin cells, and in Russell’s case since he is a lazy and gross gelding and doesn’t fully extend his penis before he pees–urine tend to accumulate there and can cause irritation and infection. Russell’s always had personal hygiene issues but these new growths just cause more trouble in that department so the vet cleaned him out really good again today (lots of blood, puss, and smegma; so gross), gave him a huge dose of penicillin and an anti-inflammatory shot, and said I’ll probably just have to clean him out every month or two from now on.

We’ll keep our fingers crossed that that’ll keep him going for a long time! If any of the warts do become cancerous there’s not really much that can be done though. My vet said he did perform a horse penis amputation once before but there’s no way I’d want to put Russell through that.
