Does she have quad tails in her hair with one hidden behind her or tri tails spaced at irregular intervals

Either case kind of owns

It actually looks like she has straight up claws rather then some kinda gloves to me so she's probably got something weird going on.

From the model she has front long twintails and a thicker tied third tail in the back.

And yeah the white skin, odd outfit (compared to the others) and clawed nails make me think she's unlikely a normal human.

So I bought dq11 for the switch like as soon as I was done with the demo. I was just wondering if anyone knew like how many skill points a normal playthrough would have, just curious if I should be specializing more or if putting points everywhere is fine

specialize to a certain extent. If your not using a weapon theirs no point in putting skill points into it and respeccing you dudes is easy so feel free to mess around.

that said if u don't go greatsword with the mc your a coward

it’s from the fan game LISA the Pointless. main baddies there are the Infinity Franchise, a horde of blood-crazed nihilists who wear basketball jerseys with the number 88

As an aside, LISA the Pointless and Hopeful are both pretty good. Not as good as painful but better than Joyful, i m o.

Pointless does a really good job of showing it's themes through gameplay like Painful does, with things like the garbage trading side quest giving you the same reward regardless of which item you pick to start it with, or how killing members of the infinity franchise just makes different members of the infinity franchise appear in other places. I also like how every character has a persistent corpse sprite after you fight them. The graphics are generally more detailed than Painful's, too.

Hopeful doesn't really do that quite as much, but it does a good enough job at telling a personal story instead and I think it had some good character moments.

Unfortunately Greatsword drops off hard in the lategame since the loving game gives the MC two super duper special one handed swords. I'm still mad. Someone with a Switch tell me if they fixed this to let you have a cooler greatsword.

:psyduck: but the best greatsword is amazing? It has a higher block chance than even the best shields. Even if you are dual wielding 1 handers, they still can't match the greatsword due to how damage is calculated in the game for skills.

Not to mention you can use Sword Dance with a greatsword and that is one of the best single target moves in the game.

Yeah, even despite the two swords I still just stuck with the Berserker Greatsword for most of the endgame. It also helps that if you know the enemy that drops it, you can just go to that location and fight them till they drop one and jump like nearly 200 points of attack in one equip.

Huh, I always felt like I was doing more damage with dual swords at endgame. Must've been fooling myself, I guess? I still wish you could get That Sword in greatsword format. There's even a perfect time where the game could've done it! I was so mad!

It's always possible that you were, I just like greatswords more is all. I also played the game with the roaming camera option too so well, that's off the beaten path for most people too. You don't get any of the heavy hitter skills till the second act anyway so it felt good to have that as an option all the time.

Anybody tried Stygian: Reign of the old ones? https://store.steampowered.com/app/779290/Stygian_Reign_of_the_Old_Ones/

I am really enjoying it. The closest thing to torment I have played in ages. You can go crazy or join the mob. Or join the occult domesday cult. If you choose the royality origin you start with your own personal butler as a companion, while if you choose the explorar origin you start with your faithful canine that you can interact with to gain sanity.

Greatswords do do more damage at the end of the game because Hero doesn't get to negate his offhand penalty like Erik does, but the final shield offers nearly unlimited MP for other spells.

Is it more of like a dungeon crawler where you're fighting through monsters or more like a narrative game where you're playing story? The Torment comparison makes me think the latter, but the screenshots scream "Darkest Dungeon".

Pretty Cool to go back to a week ago (and also 7 pages ago) to find a post you can casually a drop a "actually hes homophobic" to and also include the lil iirc so you don't need a real source.

Like if your intent wasn't to just be a piece of poo poo about it you should really step back and think about why you would say something like that in that way.

Even with it being false, if it was true, depending on how it's said, I also wouldn't see "I didn't write that character as being gay" as being not progressive, when it's a series with representation elsewhere. I'm all for death of the author and all, but also wouldn't see a problem with them outright saying they didn't intend for one particular character to be gay.

Granted, I'm also annoyed with a certain subset of fandom being "ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE GAY AND/OR TRANS. ALL OF THEM!" so there's that too.

no it bears repeating.

edit: jokes aside I don't care if someone wants to read a touhou as straight, both because it's fiction who cares and because, while obviously straight people aren't oppressed, media that deals with straight women's sexuality in a fun way is pretty rare, so if someone gets something out of that one time rinnosuke and yukari flirted, it's whatever. But it's also very, very obvious why people would want to just, imagine a series in which all the major characters are gay and/or trans, and it doesn't affect you at all, lol.

I know gently caress all about Touhou besides it...existing, so :shrug:

I mean a particular head canon type, though. The sort that is very loud about "This sweet little cinnamon bun is gay, and if you think otherwise you're HOMOPHOBIC" type about their head canons. I don't have a problem with just having them, since I most certainly have my own about some series.
