Ineffiable posted:Is the first two (possibly 3) still the only ones worth playing? It's very much a series of diminishing returns. I like 3 even if it has the infamous plot twist near the end, and imo 4's gameplay is very fun although you have to suffer some godawful characters to play it. I've never played 5 but all I ever hear of it is that it's like 20 hours long and half of it is backtracking.

I actually liked what I played of it and thought having all 9 party members out at once was fun a in clusterfuck kinda way but it's suuuuuuper obvious they had negative amounts of budget because they constantly shuffle you back and forth between like, three places.

Libluini posted:If you take Rena's path in SO2, not even that. Eventually the planet gets blown up under your feet and you travel via teleport to the second one. You'll see a space ship in some cut scenes, though: It gets blown up without the party ever setting foot on it. (Except for Claude, but since one man alone isn't a party, he doesn't count.) The SO3 plot twist is good, because it shits on the whole series. It's missing the Danganropa V3 middle finger to the fanbase, though. SO4 is the story of Edge Maverick, a dumb-as-a-rock teenager who hands over the power core of his (for stupid reasons) spaceship to an clearly evil BDSM-science lady, who proceeds to destroy the Earth. Luckily is a parallel-universe Earth, so no one gives a gently caress after a few hours of moping, and this whole thing is only a minor arc for introducing a cat-girl into the party.

SO3's video game plot twist blew me away when I was a teen- it was my first entry into the series and I thought it was cool. Later I found out that it was apparently a slap to every fan and the worst thing ever so lol whatever.

I just got off a 12 hour flight where I must have played 6 hours of diablo 3 Even plugged into power the battery eventually dies (usb plug on planes doesn’t draw much) but it’s a great feeling to play 6 hours straight of diablo 3 and not be like ah poo poo I wasted my day because what else am I gonna do If you start a seasonal game you can exit and renter seasonal games without a connection. Got my full barbarian set

On the subject of power banks, any recommendations for a good travel bank? I'm looking at a six hour flight in about a month on Southwest Airlines and in their emails too me they keep reiterating there are no power plugs for use on the plane.

There's a 100Wh limit for bringing battery packs on planes, so just make sure you don't go over that. RAVPower and Anker both have good USB-C PD 99Wh packs that can run a Switch

You’d think more ppl would tease out the connections between Popeye & Mario considering how big of an influence on the series it’s been. Like, even beyond Donkey Kong being a Popeye game originally, you’ve got Pac-Man being a big influence on Miyamoto and that design also being explicitly influenced by Popeye & so on. Along the same lines kinda surprising to me that Cuphead was a semi-outlier in terms of recent games directly drawing from those old Fleischer cartoons,’z
