Are you loving kidding me? How the hell do I do that and why wasn't it in the tutorial?

edit: I do love the mental image of the client having his Hostess swapped

- Mega-rich client comes in and demands Yuki
- Yuki is already on another table with a Wealthy person
- Select the Wealthy table and pick any of your spare hostesses
- Send Yuki to the mega-rich table
- Hit Sunshine Time and hope the Wealthy table goes into fever

I believe mega-rich people are the only ones who request hostesses by name, instead of just wanting a particular quality. Also, I've found that skills are way more important than looks. If someone wants a beautiful talker, they'll be happier with a cute talker than a beautiful partier, if that makes sense.

Cabaret Club isn't like the Real Estate game where you just pour money in, there are a bunch of ways to optimize that the tutorial doesn't mention at all.

yea she's legitimately the best gold hostess. the side quest hostesses are generally better than the generic ones, but that one was always the most useful for me

She's only good at one thing (she's actually not bad for Party, but that's not why you use her), but she's super-good at it and the returns to being all-in on what the client wants are high.

Rented SotC new to the game and it's pretty great, not quite sure I'd be thinking of it as one fo the greatest of all time if it didn't come with that reputation but I'm not arguing against it. Only thing with a game that looks this good is the pop-in of the last layer of detail on the grass in some spots is so noticeable. Unnecessary too, if I was testing this I'd have said just like, don't do that last pass on it, it looks fine before the pop-in. Only finished ten colossi but I'll definitely finish it off as soon as I have time.

I've been getting a ton of free Redbox game rental codes I was never seeing before I rented a game for the first time a few months ago, try it out if you're into that. Caveat is other than SotC where I might've been the first person to touch this disc a lot of them were pretty dinged up and failed three or four times during the install process (always worked eventually though).

Unless you think modern Germany is using a Nazi insignia for its armed forces, it's not "Nazi imagery".

Did you edit that quote? It's not part of the linked Wikipedia article. Pretty sure the Iron Cross is not prohibited in any way in Germany.

I don't want to continue this derail, because it's dumb, but if you don't think what I quoted is in the article, then you clearly didn't even open the page, because, *again* it's literally the first sentence of the Wiki.

The stuff after the quote isn't from the Wiki, it's from first-hand knowledge and research.

That's what I was referring to. You were trying to pass off your own bullshit addition as being part of the Wiki quote.

Your "first-hand knowledge and research" is wrong then, the Iron Cross isn't banned (except for the Nazi insignia version that includes a swastika).

gently caress, you're dense as poo poo.

I guess you think that the swastika is a Buddhist symbol too, huh?

Imagery and meanings of things change, my dude. Face facts that the iron cross is considered racist/nazi imagery. If you showed an iron cross to someone who knows even a little about history, they'll equate it with Nazi Germany, because that's where it's use was popularized. Swastika or not in the center - doesn't matter - the average person will see Nazi imagery.

Hey, German here, the Iron Cross Medal isn't considered nazi imagery or illegal. You can buy replicas and there are still statues and it's part of heraldric stuff.

We are pretty adamant about nazi imagery and wearing it openly is a felony which can result in prison

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
In the UK we don't consider the iron cross a part of Nazi symbolism at all. In fact it was probably sanitized and 'okayed' by people like Lemmy Kilmister who wore it during his performances. When we see the iron cross we're reminded of things like that and not at all of nazism. The swastika is another thing entirely. Only an idiot would say with a straight face 'that makes me think of buddhist symbol of peace first'

I'm fairly sure the modern German army actually still uses the iron cross as their logo.

See in far cry 5 you kill fundi type right wingers instead of alt right chuds and that makes morons mad because they feel cheated or something. Game looks cool as does kill Americans David koresh Isis with some prepper poo poo thrown in.

I still don't get the Pepe stuff. I thought Boy's Club was a pretty funny comic. It feels like Alt-Comedy got appropriated by Alt-Right. Like a type of comedy was unleashed in the early 2000s that morphed into some confused ideology/political movement.

I'm curious about Far Cry 5. I really liked 3 and 4. Didn't touch Primal cause the setting didn't appeal to me. I'll most likely wait until the first price drop.

Far Cry 3 had one of the worst video game stories I can remember and I'm not even sure what the story was in 4 (I think you could pick which side you wanted to support or something? But they were all bad and the ending didn't explain anything?) so I'm not expecting to get much in that department from 5 either

Internet ironic culture got toxic basically, read the cspam and gbs alt right mock threads to get a better. I am getting five a a Christmas present from my friend so I am lucky I guess. 3 and 4 were good and fun but gently caress the insta failure stealth sequence poo poo.

Ubisoft has this weird mantra about its settings where things cant be too fantastical unless its got a scifi explanation, or its in the matrix or a drug trip or the game is a comedy.
Its kinda weird but i guess they have their market research gurus telling them their niche.

Another reason Blood Dragon was the best modern Far Cry.

I must say, however, that Far Cry 2 was the best Far Cry game (and Far Cry original/instincts were pretty good too)

Far Cry 2 was fantastic. It’s flawed, but it’s one of my favorite games of all time. The chaos you could bring was so satisfying, and I loved the weapon degradation. The first time my RPG just farted out a rocket that then kicked on and skidded around the ground, setting fires before it exploded... man, that ruled.

Non, je ne regrette rien


Finished SOTC last night. Great game, I see why it's stuck with people.

Unfortunately the last colossus was the only one that genuinely annoyed me. It was a great concept with great music and atmosphere, but it also highlighted pretty much every criticism I could have with the game - Wander taking forever to stand up after getting knocked down, the camera doing its own thing, the loose jumping controls, occasionally abstruse indications of what to do against the colossi (figuring out how to get off the hand took me forever).

Still other than that, a fantastic experience. And for that one dud of a colossus, there's a lot of very clever ones throughout the game. I said before that I liked the idea behind the colossus that hates fire, but I had to look up a hint to figure out what I actually had to do; the colossus in the ruins with the pillars was a nice variation of that, and it was a lot easier to figure out what I had to do there (it helped that the solution to that one, making it knock stuff off ledges to break its armor, was what I already tried to do with the fire one). There were a lot of those great "Oh, I need to do that!" moments throughout the game, followed immediately by "I can't believe that actually worked."

Also Mono and Agro lived. :unsmith:
