Hey, if we're recommending Ai related stuff, watching her breakdown to the sights of Doki Doki Lit. Club is pretty amazing :allears: after a point you can just tell the poor actress clocked out.

There's something weirdly corpse-y about the shading or skin and eye textures for the character models in that game, and combined with the 400% exaggerated facial features it is creeping me all the way out

I think you mean hastily morphed free DAZ Studio models. I'm looking at YOU, Countess Decolletage.

Still, the skill trees and how they map to the dialogue system is pretty neat. The point system for using skills kinda reminds me of Action Points from later editions of DnD, or Drama Dice from 7th Sea (does anyone even remember 7th Sea?).

Man I love me some Euro-jank. Euro-jank has so many systems, and they're all loving your mom at the same time!

I'm watching a three and a half hour long compilation of the SBFP Metal Gear Solid V LP and it's tragic to see their hopes get crushed in real time

there's a point around the hour and a half hour mark where Pat just starts yelling "THIS IS STUPID" over and over

if it hadn't turned out that konami forced it early and booted everyone because they're a terrible company I'd absolutely believe kojima explicitly designed the game to be LP poison. In the three LP's I've tried to watch of it I make it about 5 episodes in before it just because impossible to watch, and after seeing the story is crazier than a shithouse rat I can't imagine it gets any more tolerable

Kojima also wasted a shitton of time and money on the game so it's not like Konami alone is to blame there.

I mean honestly I'm not all that hot on putting much poo poo on Kojimmer even if he was burning a lot of money, because they made that back forty times over within like, the hour of the game launching probably.

They likely made the game's whole goofy rear end budget back within any given day, Konami own the widest swathe of video gambling in Japan among other things, they're not allowed to go "The coooosts!" anymore.

Please, tell us more about how our capitalistic overlords' relentless pursuit of the bottom line is actually a good thing and how Kojima is actually a big hack for not bowing his head to his corporate masters. :nallears:

The main gimmick is that it's actually three playthroughs put together: "Big Boss" where things are mostly played stealthy, "Venom Snake" where he goes in hot and explosive, and "Vapor Snake" where he... smokes a cigar until nighttime, fights bears, or somehow manages to complete a mission while riding the pre-mission helicopter. If that seems bloated, Chip is very very good at editing, either fastforwarding or cutting to a different playthrough whenever one runs into some downtime. Tapes are mostly on separate videos, too, so there's no dead commentary time. He's also specifically ignoring the side quests that aren't actually interesting.

By playing it three different ways.

"Big Boss" is all about pure stealth with no killing.
"Venom Snake" breaks out the explosions and runs and guns his way through everything.
"Vapor Snake" has no clue what the gently caress he's doing on account of being too high on phantom cigars.

Sorry if I'm late or falling for some weak 4chan tier bait but I have a game of telephone going on.

Friend was at work so all that he has is discord- apparently some people in one of the chatrooms mentioned Matt having some kind of twitter meltdown and asked me to look and see for myself what was going on. Went to his twitter and his account is now locked/protected whatever the term is.

Did something actually happen or was it just speculation?

Oh yeah, dental infections are no joke. I had a molar split in half(pebble in rice = party all night) and within the half day it took to get to the dentist to remove the tooth the open air to the jawbone had spread infection to the bone itself, I was REALLY lucky and got a lot of antibiotics immediately because infection right there is just just a hop skip and a jump away from your brain or other sensitive and important tissues. If it spread from his teeth into the bone it can get real gnarly. Hope he's doing okay.

Yeah but if you stop tweeting political sentiments because of the screaming idiots, then they win. What are even his politics; I know he supports LGBTQ issues, but generally I can't imagine he's further left than mainstream Keynesian liberalism (tho that'd be cool if he is).

I've noticed you have a tendency to jump on the possibility of there being lots of *drama* behind the scenes, and it's kinda silly. No judgement, but probably should be a little more skeptical about poo poo like that.
