If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Not just smash players, extreme hardcore fans of anything like that get super weird.

I remember reading an article about a similar kind of house live-in situation with a group of people who took on the identities of FF7 characters.

Mental health is a big deal.

One of my cats is too stupid to drink like a cat, he laps it up like a dog against the side of the bowl and spills EVERYWHERE. God bless him.

My other cat has a perfect technique but dumb cat is who he is.

Samus Returns is very good but if it had customizable controls for d pad movement and toggle/hold settings for missiles and spiderball it'd be :discourse:

Am I being a contrarian in thinking Horizon would be better with less RPG elements? When I hit a dude in the head with an arrow I want him to keel over and die, not take a critical hit and alert all his buddies.

I don't mind that but I really wish it didn't have any of the random drop bullshit for crafting. At least when Far Cry has you hunt stuff you always get the thing you're looking for. In Horizon I spend like 15 minutes shooting salmon by the side of a lake trying to get a a fish bone or whatever.

Yeah I kinda feel that way too.

Edit - Also completely unrelated to anything but apparently Yogscast does a weekly X-Com stream with two of their members playing the games and they've turned that into a whole YouTube channel. It's kinda perfect if you like XCom let's plays because they play all the different X-Com & XCom titles over the decades and basically just faff about in their own special way.

It's good fun.

OTOH you've got Yosuke, who is very clearly gay and is desperately trying not to admit that to himself or deal with those feelings, which also explains his reactions to Kanji and his need to constantly prove himself as a normal het dude.

actually, the characters are just poorly written because the head writer is a sheltered homophobe hth

yosuke is the least of persona 4's issues but also i doubt they were even attempting any kind of nuanced take on sexuality with him at all, and if they were then they failed to do literally anything with it

persona 4 will always have a place in my heart though cause i like the music and it's the first jrpg i really beat

Yo True Gaming Gamers is there a good recommendation for a left-handed/ambidextrous mouse that's good for gaming games? I have a Razer Taipan but the left-click is getting fuckin' weird (sometimes doesn't register, sometimes just double-clicks for no reason) and it's very frustrating.

This happened to my last mouse too which was also a Razer, are Razer mice secretly cheap poo poo?

Stranglehold was one of only about three PS3 games that still had region protection because it contained Hard Boiled on bluray as well.

I've tried to play it a couple of times and never got very far :/
