I hit chapter 5 in Coldsteel and I gotta say Millium's class intro stuff has really not done much to endear her to me.

she gets better stuff in cold steel 2 where she's more relevant to what's going on she mostly feels tossed in at the end of the first game just to give you an extra party member

Millium's intro stuff is pretty rough but she gets some really nice moments in CS2 when they start focusing in on her actual relationships, yeah. Her stuff with Claire is honestly really sweet. I think they tried a little too hard to make her a goofy character early on, though I get why since Class VII is a pretty downbeat bunch outside of her. And once she just integrates as an actual part of the cast she's alright even in CS1. Love her dunking on Jusis.

Echoing the above, everyone scratches their head at Millium in the first game, but she's actually really fun. https://twitter.com/Hatsuu/status/976145442026151936

I enjoy mocking games from my childhood while my wife dunks on me for being bad at them. I'm lucky if I get 15 viewers. I was going to do a recording and stream with OBS then chop the screenshots out of the recording when i played it back. gently caress I guess I should just learn the 6 types of editing software and what deinterlacing is I guess.

Well, that's the easiest way to do a screenshot lp if you want to do one, just pulling screengrabs from video. You can make gifs too!

Might have to give up on TLR, the base 3 boss seems completely unbeatable, the boss can take off 50% of all my unions health with the first attack, has 5 adds that can all kill a union in two attacks and if by some miracle I kill them the boss constantly summons more until I get stuck in a loop of revive - get killed - revive until it overtakes me.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Speaking of Octopath Traveler, there's something about it that's been bumming out: you don't get to wear your secondary job costume on your overworld sprite. I know that would have required them to make way more sprites and isn't exactly practical, but, danmit, I wanna run around in Tressa's hunter costume! It has ears! Speaking of Octopath, I am currently about level 30 in that game and just figured out that there are secondary job shrines scattered about. Have yet to actually see one.

For the most part, they are within a screen or two away from the secondary cities (or the cities where the chapter 2 stories happen for most characters). If you turn on your mini map, you'll see a weird little symbol that looks like the ancient greek architecture. Without the minimap, they're pretty hard to find.

The rest is just standard focus adds and heal each other up. Most problems in TLR come down to targeting and union setup unless you are rolling out with like nothing but item classes (which can happen).

At far as I know I've got three melee focused squads and two magic each with items/healing magic as back up. I just can't do enough damage to the enemy squads and eventually I just have to focus on healing all the time which is a game you will lose eventually. Also in three attempts I've never gotten a summon or other big attack to pop up.

Also in three attempts I've never gotten a summon or other big attack to pop up. You need a character as the leader of a union to be able to use their summons and special Arts, so make sure you've got Rush and Emmy leading teams (also Jager if you've got him). Plus anyone else who has a unique Art (Irina, David, etc). Playing the healing game actually can work in some cases because you can rely on big damage counters/stuns and arts to get the job done. Some Arts trigger based on being at low Morale/HP (Irina's Omnistrike for example). David's triggers at high or low morale but only if he isn't in Deadlock, and so on. You might also want to check your BR rank as to where you're roughly supposed to be, if you're under ranked you can always go clean up some sidequests or just fight some tough single enemy mobs to build up your stats a bit. I don't really remember anything specific about that fight unfortunately, I pretty much blasted through all the bases without much issue.

People are influenced by morbid stories they hear and if it'd just been left at 'what would it be like to investigate a mysterious death before the internet' i could get that but literally copying the exact details of her death down to her race and and her specific pyschoses is, uh, really hosed up.

shadow hearts (which is an influence, apparently) references real world events and tragedies too but i feel like there's a difference between referencing the romanov family's execution and just having some random lady's death be mined for your Deep Commentary on Video Games and shadow hearts doesnt just, recreate the romanov family execution in ps2 graphics actually im pretty sure every time shadow hearts references the events of ww1 it uses real world photographs?

also there was approximately 90 years between the execution of the romanovs and shadow hearts 2's development versus the, uh, six, years between yiik and that woman's death. and its been in development for four years so make that, like, two.

One is a major historical event and the other is a private tragedy that people were already overly invasive about. Not even close to comparable.

Yeah that's fuckin horrible. FF7 is a game with a story inspired by the death of, what was it, the lead writer's mother? But that's sharing your personal story and how it affected you. But to use the death of someone you knew nothing about short of that you read about it on the internet? That is your inspiration? What the gently caress is wrong with this dev? Time, money, all the regular roadblocks of making a game that can contribute to weirdness in your final product, my empathy about any of that is completely gone. This poo poo stain is inexcusable. The only thing I have to say is, I apologize entirely for ever having gone to bat for him over dev cycle constraints. Distasteful disaster. gently caress.

Yeah I saw the first screenshot of the elevator and was like "oh no" because I'd seen that footage before and knew exactly what it was. I was introduced to the Lam death from a song I really like about a guy who went and stayed in the same hotel where it happened after getting all into the investigation. It's a wild contrast with the way the same event can influence people, where one guy made a work of art which is really interesting and evocative and the other made YIIK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01bBxX1iQ84 E: the album cover is a photograph of the water towers where Lam died that the guy took during the events of the song

It's insanely bad that it's in the game and should be rightfully criticized but that person is being so performatively disgusted by it for clicks that it comes off really embarrassing tbh.
