Like yeah I assume it's not the final boss in the sense that it's the last or most difficult boss in the game but it really doesn't make sense with the plot as presented up to that point.

Also I have no idea what skullbro's motivation was he seems like a less coherent version of Armstrong.

that's a really tricky situation because of how easy it is for your friend to start getting real defensive and see you as the bad guy if you express doubts about the relationship they still have faith in. like ultimately they have to come to that realization themself, no matter how terrible it is from the outside

however if someone accuses you of being in an unhealthy relationship, turning around and accusing them of the same thing is almost certainly a one-way ticket to bad times and hurt feelings

For me, it's less about turning around and accusing back and more that I just want to come clean and clear the air because I feel like there is tension between us because of my fight with her fiance and, as a result of said fight, she knows that I don't like her fiance now and I'd rather just come clean because I hadn't brought it up for the past 5 years because I didn't want to cause any trouble. It just kinda feels like if she's willing to take the steps to try and clear the air about her own thoughts on the relationship I have with KCB, then it should be fine for me to tell her my thoughts and also why I believe she's wrong.

I'm not going to do anything unless KCB says it is ok though because this person is KCB's best friend and also KCB gets anxious as hell when anything related to conflict comes up, regardless of who, where, when, fictional or real, etc etc etc, and as much as it's eating me up inside that this person with a psych degree told me that she thinks KCB's depression and anxiety are my fault and that she copied those traits from my own depression and anxiety, I refuse to go against KCB's word. This is just me asking for opinions and also me venting I guess because eh. First world problems and all that poo poo.

the bright side of the x collection is that x7 and x8 are actual ports so this is legit gonna be the easiest way to play them on pc if those ports are functional, considering the old pc port of x7 is korea-only and x8's port is like a mid 2000s one so it's kind of a gamble whether it'll even work

but yeah if you have to buy one of them just buy vol 1 lmao


also i'd like to say that for anyone with a console who's interested in 20xx, that game uh has a really good feel, it nails the controls of mega man zero and zx, but its procgen is loving garbage and only illustrates how much its core concept of a procgen mega man is literally impossible to do in a way that's actually fun or interesting so the game isn't fun for more than like ten hours and then it just gets boring and repetitive and playing it will only serve to remind you that you could just be playing zero 2-4 instead

I initially wrote a lot of text here but it just resulted in me having to explain more and more about the situation at hand so I'm just going to try to keep this as simple and short as possible.


If you are friends (not best friends but more definitely more than acquaintances) with someone who was most definitely in something that can be described as an unhealthy relationship, is it okay to want to talk to them about that, or do you feel it is better to let them be because while you know it is unhealthy, you don't really have any business poking around in their relationship?

Additionally, if you don't think it's right to poke around and tell her your thoughts, does it suddenly become fine to tell her your thoughts if she accuses you of being in an unhealthy relationship first?

Imo you should bad mouth the couple to mutual friends for years until someone else does the dirty work for you. Unless its like violent or whatever then its probably best not to be a coward like moi

Nah, X6 is just a huge clusterfuck and a rushed out port job. That game is baaaad. The whole nightmare system feels like an afterthought, the fact certain Gate stages require you to use a certain armor (well last time I checked) to get through sucks. High Max sucks, Gate sucks.

Zombie Sigma is maybe the only ok thing, and he still sucks.

edit: YEAH

THAT.

You give X the Z saber, like a nice little callback to x3, and IT SUCKS. He only does the big slash and that's it.

Also only good thing is Zero is broken as gently caress in x6.

I would probably buy a Megaman Zero Collection that had a larger screen canvas or something.

And also save states because Zero 1 is a loving pain in the rear end without those.

But, like, I don't really understand why the final boss comes partway through the game, why not make it harder earlier or something??
