Dota 2 anime comes out tomorrow, all my homies are gonna get together and not watch it and instead grind MMR because dota's lore is boring and I know the show is not gonna have a segment where DK avoids fights for 45 minutes until he farms a Glepnir and then dies and loses the fight for his allies, which is what Dota 2 is all about

they somehow picked the most boring dota lord to make an entire anime out of

When I sailed to that island and the text appeared on the screen I got hardcore spooked. Still a very good island and it was great figuring out a viable way to kill moblins on that island.

Not just backstory boring but also visually boring. This is a very cynical take but I think it's funny how all the characters front-and-center in the dota anime are all the easiest to draw. Like, hmmmm, all human characters huh? No Venomancer anywhere? DK and his ward person look identical to the point that I would guess they're gonna pull a Chrono Trigger where "actually the ward becomes the Dragon Knight and takes the name of Davion after the cool main character knight dies". You'll not

75 minutes into the anime it calls you a bunch of curses in Russian or maybe Portuguese, and then giant text that just says YOU WASTED 75 MINUTES CLICK HERE TO GO AGAIN.

Honestly it's like being on the Great Plateau again, except you keep your hearts, stamina, Sheikah abilities and glider. Plus the island gives you attack, defense and health boosting ingredients so you can brute force some of it.

Ah I loved this too- feels like further into the game you're always juuuust a little too stacked with destructive hi-end gear to the point where you're trying to figure out which Legendary Sword of Radiant Might to toss away for the thing that's +1

I think I've mentioned it before but I am absolutely poo poo at any action RPGs, particularly modern ones. Once the action gets intense I get tense, which causes me to misclick and get my poo poo wrecked, so I get pissed and it turns into a viscious cycle to where I nearly have a panic attack when having to do combat.

Zelda games are a special exception, mostly due to childhood nostalgia but also because most fights don't require twitch reflexes and the ones that do are generally optional. Still, taking down a Lynel or even a Minor Test of Strength requires a ton of prep for me and I generally don't bother unless they're guarding something I really want.

Its a move you can do after your launcher. with the Dragon Sword I think its X Y then X X X Y in the air? been a while. Its a command grab and you're invincible throughout it while also beheading the poor sap you're grabbing, it also looks real cool. Using that and also learning how to do the instant ultimate technique helped me survive the constant explosions.

Lightning Returns is probably the actual best game in the entire series since 9 and in many ways is better than 12 and 15 too, but then again it's so different that comparing it to any other FF is comparing chocobos to moogles

The world is a strange and confusing place

One time I heard about a company that replaced vacation and sick leave with, effectively, "leave with warning" and "leave without warning". Like do whatever the gently caress you want with those days I don't wanna hear about it, you just use the more limited pool if you don't give us advance notice. It seemed like a decent system

Lmao at this hosed up world where grief when your parasocial relationship gets married is common enough to be encoded though
