Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Yeah, I checked the date this morning and realized I had to actually complete that scavenger hunt summer sale thing. That was super dumb. As for suggestions, I have none. I bought CK3, and I hate it. Well, it definitely wasn't worth what I paid. I would have rather gotten the new outfit and/or the schoolgirl outfit off the mogstore than that.

If they don't compromise then I am literally just never playing the game again, until they do an equivalent of the Skyrim AE, where it gives you all the CC content. I'll buy it on sale too, just to spite them.

[EDIT]They won't budge. I've brought out that Karen energy over this now in my next ticket response.

[EDIT]After my last ticket response my ticket has now supposedly been "escalated" to a "specialized team".

"Specialized team" of the same people I'd bet lol. Keep Karen-energying it out, with persistence they might eventually cave-in. I mean why is telling a customer to repurchase a whole ass game even acceptable?? It's like the most lazy cop out answer AND rewards them for literally putting in 0 effort. I wouldn't even buy anything from them until they resolve it if I were in your shoes. I have not bought a Bethesda game in a long time lol, I have disliked some of the stuff they were doing even before the F76 fiasco.

I played CK3 on Gamepass for a bit, but I dropped it - I didn't dislike it, but.. ehh.. I had a friend who insisted that I keep playing it because it's so much fun, but it doesn't have that grab for me the same way CIV V might have. I hope you were able to get it steam refunded!

I have a steam deck so -- maybe might sate the tastes with good ol' Nancy Drew for a bit..

JRPGs? While it certainly isn't perfect, Tales of Symphonia is in the Sale for like 5 bucks.

Oh that is a good grab for a classic jRPG! I've been wanting Blue Reflection for a while, but it's still like $20 USD for being out for years..

Wasn't hyped about Valkyrie Elysium before, but now I am. The JP trailer shows off a lot of combo actions, what looks to be the classic "triangle formation" attack chain from previous VP games, and looks heavily skill based. Also, the Digital Deluxe version for PS4/PS5 comes with Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth! Only one thing to celebrate this win with.

I saw that trailer too and it looked A LOT better than the first, it definitely did get me at least a little interested.

I'm kinda psyched that Type Moon is actually officially translating Mahoyo (Witch on the Holy Night)

Its before Tsukihime (remake and OG), so I hope this means that we might get an official translation of Tsukihime A piece of blue glass moon and The other side of red garden.

Cause Red Garden not only will have Best Maid route but also a new route for best Dead Apostle.

Hmm..
I saw the new Berserk chapter, haven't read it yet tho.
The art is VERY clearly not Miura, it's not bad but it definitely stands out.

I mean I expected it to kinda be the case so I am not too surprised it does feel a bit weird tho.
I still want to see it end and be finished but it kinda looks a bit like fanart lol.
The drawings of monsters especially I think is what stood out to me the most ( it was only one but still ).
Especially since Miura really excelled in drawing monsters and background, I am a bit worried they'll be too underwhelming.

Even back in the earliest chapters when his drawings of people were kinda meh his backgrounds were still really really good.
I just hope they don't rush that stuff and take their time with it.

On the topic of Miura... apparently Kazuki Takahashi passed away as result of an accident. Very sad about that, his work greatly impacted my childhood. Used to sit on the school's playground playing Yu-Gi-Oh or enacting anime scenes during elementary school.

I was saddened to see the news of it as well. Was found off Okinawa snorkeling at that. A reminder to never swim or dive by yourselves people, the water is an unforgiving element.

The worst is when someone doesn't die of old age. Talk about a raincloud over my day now. Like Ryu said, safety practices are there for a reason.

:/ So like, gerrymandering is about to probably become a real problem in the US. Nice to know our democracy is slipping away even faster now!

I'm totally packing my bags once I'm done with college.

So you know how in some sports, after the game, they throw the ball into the crowd?

Turns out that's frowned upon in bowling.

I will not be answering questions.

Hey listen...rookie mistake. Next time you'll know you're suppose to beat your opponent to death with one of the pins.
