Metal Max Xeno's perfectly playable, but admittedly with a big asterisk of you gotta go in with a mindset of wanting to see tanks just blow things up under mass-spammed cannon fire.

The Metal Max Xeno announcement got me playing Metal Saga again.



Best jukebox menu of any game. I of course also pirated the game from the arcade cabinet next to it.

hopefully some day we can get english localizations of the good metal max games that aren't metal saga, like 3 and 2 reloaded

metal max 1 has some okay ideas but it kinda sucks that it's, the only old-school metal max we have in english other than saga

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
Made it to Disc 3 in Legend of Dragoon and the game despite seemingly time displaced by three years for JRPGs of the time of its release, is... surprisingly competent so far.

Like, the story isn't setting the world on fire but it does just enough to get me to care about the characters and what's going on.

Although, I'm going to be hearing GUST OF WIND... DANCE in my dreams for the rest of my life

And Kasey can actually write. The characters actually have layers and growth and there's subtext!

Everyone thinks the game is about the mass but it's really about the people in Jimmy's life.


All I know about Penelo 50 hours into ff12 is that she likes to eat rats. And that's just headcanon.

Internet Nazis are a fickle bunch and being a far right grifter doesn't really pay off in the long term. Like these devs have pretty much torpedoed any chances of working with pretty much anyone else in the indie sphere. Once the Nazis either turn on them or just get bored and move on they're probably going to end up with nothing.

I'm hoping it doesn't burn the rest of the devs as much. From what I've seen the response has mostly been "wtf We didn't know any of this when we were working on the game!" and voicing support for trans causes.

Which, they could be lying, but I like giving the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

Personally, I think it's bad to delight in people's suffering just because they've done something to deserve it. That attitude is one of the reasons why the prison system is as bad as it is.

the prison system is bad because a ton of people in there don't actually deserve their suffering and we won't be able to prevent that even if we get rid of corrupt cops and insane laws pushed by and for bloodthirsty chuds because there would still be people who are wrongly sentenced due to mistakes

this doesn't apply to gloating about bad things happening to terfs because literally every single one of them is a disgusting monster

someone courting the friendship of people who hold them in utter contempt is not comparable to prison, a for profit industry that actively pushes legislation to increase the number of people they intern

I disagree with the idea that anyone can "deserve" suffering, even disgusting monsters. I think that suffering is fundamentally negative and can be justified only when it serves a purpose in addition to reflecting the actions of the sufferer, and even then, taking pleasure in it is a bit ghoulish. I don't think that these lovely people receiving abuse from other lovely people accomplishes anything.

But on further thought, it isn't exactly the pinnacle of misery, either, so this probably isn't a good hill to die on

I just want to clarify that I'm not trying to call anyone out, and I don't think anyone--least of all trans people--is a bad person for taking pleasure in the thought of these TERFS' actions catching up with them. I picked a bad time to chime in.

Wikipedia super owns for trans stuff. It's been their policy for forever that they're not only allowed but have an obligation to deadname every single trans person they write about and also you can't ask them to remove it.

But if you are cataloguing a persons history wouldnt it make sense to include that sort of detail even if just for historical purposes? honest question

Its not how they use it. Go read Yusuf Islams page to see how annoying and weird the policy is even for a non-trans person who name changed decades ago.

Yeah that one is all over the place. Someone pointed out the page for Jennel Jaquays and that one seems fine, with one brief mention at the start and then mostly referring to her as Jaquays for the rest of the article. Seems like they need some sort of naming policy
