Minor tangent but is Fate/Stay worth playing? It's always recommended as far as visual novels go and I knew a guy who was really into the series and he gave me the files. But whenever he talked about it, it felt really impenetrable. Also something about 50+ dead ends, not sure about that one.

I enjoyed the stuff in 999 and I'm enjoying VLR for as much as I've played.

It's extremely long and a significant portion of that length is the main characters talking about food

There's a lot of bad/dead ends but that's half the fun. It's not like it's an actual game; if you get a bad end just go to the last choice you made and pick the other one. Personally I used a guide to specifically make sure I got all of the bad ends.

I like it a lot but it can definitely be pretty impenetrable, especially with the shoehorned in sex scenes. I also think that the first route (out of three) is by far the worst one, which is a problem.

Something to keep in mind then.

Check out Ever17, Remember 11, and whichever of those other games got translated if you like 999 and VLR. If I remember right, the main dude behind the Zero Escape games was one of the main writers/directors/whatever of Ever17 (and the other games in that series) and they have a lot of similarities, especially if you like the weird science discussions.

I do like Uchikoshi's penchant for taking obscure science topics and making them make sense. (also referencing Kurt Vonegutt a fair amount). I've heard of Ever17 and how it relates to the design of 999 and it's on my list as well.

Manaka's friends continue to be a treat.

Twiddy posted:

It's worth noting that if they're following Magic style rules, the name of the card is its identity. All cards with the same name are treated as the same card in official rules. That said, the text of a card can change due to a reprint and difference in how text is worded or because of errata. In tournaments, you'll frequently find people using older versions of the same card that has slightly different wording than the most recent copy.

All that said, this is probably just a slight retcon or error.

That would be some insane attention to detail if it were intentional.

This is comedy gold right here.


This sounds like an interesting mechanic. Any card games that actually do this form of resource management?

that exists in magic

That's weird because I've never seen that before. Just drawing land like usual. Granted I tend to just borrow decks to play Magic so I don't really browse the catalog. Minor tangent but recently I've been looking at Force of Will which has a more controlled resource generation mechanic you basically get one resource card per turn with a max of 10 I think.

It's really only Japanese players that do it regularly though.

It happens in NOrth America at majors because of the size of the crowds. Locals not so much but it depends on your venue.

which featured a certain dark haired beauty you wished to lay claim too.

Granted I don't really care for the whole waifu thing so it was just a poorly received joke I guess. :shrug:

At least Teppu has some closure to it. I'm still hoping that some magazine will pick up Chimoguri since it's original one went out of print. No ending, no closure, and that fishbowl-headed bastard is still at large.

Do you know by which magazine?


edit: nevermind it got rebranded as Shin Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko and I have it now. Good times are ahead.

I gotta say that "taxi" service is something that sounds great. I'd definitely go too hard if I knew I could get a taxi home and also not have to come get my car the next day.
