Fan fiction is good. IP is a lie. Canon in narrative fiction is overrated.

exquisite tea posted:I remember reading CYOA books with RPG stat tables back in the mid-90s, I don't think it's a particularly new invention. Rarity posted:Lone Wolf came out in the 80s even Nah, those are game books. LitRPG would be like... I can't name any off the top of my head other than that one book ulililia wrote. Basically, imagine a story that isn't a CYOA and is about the main character proceeding along and leveling up so that they can equip better stuff and survive against harder monsters and have more hp, stuff like that. Otherwise a generic fantasy world, except they add in that the main character has leveled up and increased their stats. In that way they can just change the character to say they are better without necessarily worrying about how to make the character stronger in some sense because it is just a matter of writing that the character's numbers are better than their enemy's numbers. e: cheetah7071 posted:my post was half sincere (as in I honestly do not care for non-genre fiction) and half shitpost (I wanted to one-up the "read a real book" crowd with non-fiction) That's why I asked if you have ever heard of Tim's books. He mostly writes secret history books which are just fiction where he looks at historical events and writes a story in the cracks in between records to make something neat.

i think fanfiction and the most prominent self-pubbed fiction (be it erotica or litrpg) have one thing in common in that the act of writing itself is largely secondary to the work's production most people write fanfic as a way to interact with the fandoms they're in, and most people write the self-pubbed stuff to confuse a computer into shoving their work into people's eyes in hopes of making thousands of dollars i sort of prefer the former motivation

I haven't played doom 1 since we stopped using dos, but holy poo poo is the game still thrilling, even on the switch. Trying to find all the secrets and understanding how to use weapons efficiently now have turned the game into a whole new experience. Just paused and realized I'd been holding my breath while playing.

That's what it looked like from the reviews I skimmed. gently caress, I love those mobile suits. If it had split co-op I'd probably buy it just to smash poo poo up with my buddy who also dove headfirst into building the kits. It's a harder sell to convince him to also drop $15 on the game.

Playing the FIFA 19 story mode has me hyped up for the new FIFA, and the 3v3 street ball mode seems like it will be great for arcadey style play like Rocket League https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E4HMgh7ZsE plz dont pull out posted:I've also been wanting to play more sports games but unfortunately the more sim heavy ones intimidate me. Tried to play NBA 2k16 a while ago but the tutorial for it was terrible, especially if you don't really understand the strategy behind the game. I played Super Mega Baseball 2 and loved it. It'd be great if there were an equivalent for football, hockey, basketball etc. Too bad arcade sports games fell off a cliff over the past 15 years or so. See above! FIFA has actually been pretty good about tutorializing through its minigame drills. I went in not knowing anything about actually playing soccer and by the end of the story mode I had some idea of when you do a through ball, how players time runs to attack the goal, and why they pass up the side to cross into the box, why you don't just slide tackle the ball carrier every time, and so on. From what I remember NBA 2K is much more opaque about imparting tactical knowledge and you do have to go to outside sources to learn even basic things like how/why to do pick and rolls, box outs, etc. Also the secret is that these sims can be played like arcade mode -- you just need to set the difficulty lower and mess with the options.

The Gundam Breaker games are better for this but you'd have to import an Asian-English copy of 3 because New Gundam Breaker sucks rear end.

I am doing the same since it was just on sale on PSN for like 15 bucks, but the Kim Hunter storyline just makes me desperately wish that the NWSL was included and not just the Women's National Teams. Especially since we're going from a World Cup year to a non-World Cup year.

Non-canon biblical texts are interesting too Like that one that got adapted into a video game. I think it was the book of enoch? That got adapted into El Shaddai? I think? Question mark?

Rarity posted:Somebody take these please quote:The Sword of Islam was a ceremonial melee weapon given in 1937 to Benito Mussolini, who was pronounced as the Protector of Islam. Neat! I wonder why this famous sword doesn't get referenced more often. Every raves about the Sword of Damocles but no one wants to talk about the Sword of Islam.

Generally FIFA will release a demo 2-4 weeks before release. It will feel like a huge upgrade, and then the game will come out and feel like rear end. Everyone will say wait for the first patch that comes out a month or so after release.
