Unfortunately, much like other once-great things from the 90s like Weezer and RHCP, the time period where the Simpsons sucked has now far exceeded the time period when it was good.

I'm playing Alien: Isolation and boy, the search pattern the Alien uses seems super tight. Alien just loving knows the exact closet I'm hiding in at any given time and pops in every few minutes for a quick, breathy "how do you do".

Scrublord Prime posted:ImpAtom's right, just keep in mind that monsters can't lift/throw and some geopuzzles are built around it. Caster monsters might not get the range/aoe bonus that humans do from staff weapon master either, idr about D3. Caster monsters have a history of being crappy in Disgaea, back in D1 there weren't even monster weapons with caster stats on it. Yeah okay, fair enough. Speaking of which, are Prinnies solid? I'm not sure if they're meant to be a staple of my forces or just "here's your lovely starting guys"

Anything come of that, or was it a load of guff and self-manufactured controversy/marketing? He was just having fun with it.

I'm not sure if they're meant to be a staple of my forces or just "here's your lovely starting guys" Prinnies have some specific gimmicks in certain games that can make them really strong but by and large they're there to be funny. Most of the tricks involve exploiting their ability to explode when thrown but that can be a liability too.

I didn't get the good ending in Disgaea 1 because I threw Prinnies and APPARENTLY that's a friendly fire kill.

Not to be all "well, actually", but actually, throwing prinnies doesn't count towards that

An exploding prinny will make any other prinny hit by the explosion also explode! Sadly it's only relevant about once per game though. (also doesn't include super bosses like Prinny Baal)

I am continuing to enjoy Bayonetta even though I keep getting told I am complete garbage. Considering Bayonetta's personality I guess it's a good fit. I am on Chapter 6 and still cannot afford the parry accessory

Hey chat thread I need cool-down game recommendations to keep me sane in between the arduous diamond to master rank climb in overwatch, I like a lot of roguelikes and platformers, and rpgs too I guess.

The parry accessory is also kind of a weird thing in that it costs twice as much as the others and IIRC is the only one with no effective downsides (not counting the deliberately overpowered ones you unlock from beating the game or doing weird poo poo). It results in a weird situation where pretty much everybody ends up buying it, but only several levels into the game, so it just seems like a roundabout way of introducing a parry mechanic in the middle of the plot.

I was thinking about the same thing today, but for Heroes of the Storm instead. The answer for me so far tends to be browsing the forums while my game queue ticks down

look to get the original thief trilogy (or at least 1 and 2, not sure if 3 is on there) on GOG. The games go on sale often and come DRM-free with the soundtracks as well. Thief 3 is worth it because while it's not as well-made as Thief 2 it has fantastic ambiance and the Shalebridge Cradle is still one of the creepiest levels you'll ever play in a game.

Grapplejack posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdG4ZLCnwho I don't think this is actually in the game? I think with a few exceptions Nier uses the music to amp up its gameplay and storytelling more than Persona does, but I'm a week out from finishing Persona and its soundtrack is still all I have been listening to throughout the day

Guy Mann posted:The Simpsons was funny in spite of Matt Groening trying to totally stick it to suburban America, not because of it. His pre-Simpsons comics are absolutely insipid. Yeah but all the writers on the golden years of Simpsons fell pretty far to the left of the US center, and you're stupid if you don't think that's part of why it was so biting in the post-reagan era.

The premiere ep of American Gods was amazing and one of the things I love is the way they updated the character of Technical Boy. The book came out in 2001 so he was a fat neckbeard in a trenchcoat modeled after the people Neil Gaiman saw at conventions, in the TV show he's a Polygon editor who vapes and has thugs that look Superhot baddies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIExWPy1XSw

The later difficulties of Bayonetta eventually only let you enter witch time through parries, which is the point when I stopped playing. I don't know what it's like in Revengeance but the windows for parries seemed super small in Bayonetta, and it was only made worse by the fact that a lot of enemies have extremely fast and difficult to read attacks.

Ahhhh drat finally not having cable is biting me in the rear end. I really wanna watch this. Might do that "ahhhh what the hell this is nothing like I imagined it would be based on my read of the book!!!! Bullshit!" thing... but I like the concepts from the book enough to give it a shot for sure.
