Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[Vyrerus]

Just get a Wii or Wii U, they're probably cheaper and have a much wider library.

EDIT
Oh, the games? Out of print, get lost and destroyed over time. Nintendo isn't particularly fond of rereleasing its titles, and the fact all of its systems are gimmicky these days makes it difficult to do so. So you gotta pay top dollar for a copy that's still functional or go without.

Still got a copy of Luigi's Mansion I play once every October (until Sir Weston refuses to cooperate and I get fed up) and the Ocarina of Time bonus disc that came with Wind Waker. Unfortunately my copy of that's no good anymore.

I should replay that sometime. I think the last playthrough I did of it was sometime during a Stormblood patch lull.

I don't think I ever managed to get the most expensive mansion. Like 3rd or 2nd best or something.

Currently I've been hammering Path of Radiance playthroughs out like no tomorrow. Even though I normally play into Radiant Dawn with the transfers from the playthrough I finished, something possessed me, and now I'm doing a Sword Units only run. Following that with a Fixed Growths run, as I never opted for Fixed Growths before.

Inbetween losing my crap in Minecraft while playing with my GF. At first it was at her request, but now I'm like some sorta filthy gambler. I go and mine up enough Diamond to make a lot of tools and armor, and then I proceed to go into the Nether or to other dangerous places that she refuses to go to, and inevitably something knocks me off a cliff or into lava. Sometimes I forget to not stand right on top of the block I'm digging on, and wouldn't ya know it, there's lava right beneath it. Whoooops

My brother's visiting with his wife this weekend, and he's bringing his board games. Either Eldritch Horror, Betrayal, or Cards Against Humanity, I think.

It's pretty easy to get max ranking, just get 90+ off the Portrait Ghosts' meter in one go for their Big Pearl, look around for treasure ghosts (Blue Ghosts / Gold Mice), water plants, etc. Really just takes a few runs and taking the time to explore, and a smidge of practice catching the ghosts.

I generally enjoy Fire Emblem but I'm not very good at it, and being a perfectionist who doesn't want his units to die end up resetting a lot. So runs of those take too long for me to bother replaying them.

The JP for the summer event is still a pain in the ass to do. They add NPCs to shortcut you up to the spot the event story wants to, but they don't include another one for the higher parts of the tower? Frustrating as all hell.

[Hurlstone]

I have just been selling a few of my old GameCube games, and it is a surprise how much some are going for. Resident Evil 2 and Metal Gear in particular where the most valuable ones I had.

[Cilia]

Well the higher tower parts is entirely optional, like the Kugane JP. Let people have their swimsuits.

Made it, thanks to the nice person who rezzed me up there after 5 hours of failing to succeed at the final jump.

I understand how to play it, but the level of metagaming necessary to scrape out wins past Gold V is egregious. Plus Master Duel is JP format only (or was when I played it), which allows obnoxiously oppressive cards like V.F.D., Rhongo, Imperial Order, etc. Yeah, just get Legacy of the Duelist if you're just looking to play... only problem is it's a few years out of date (Master Duel isn't quite current, but it gets regular updates that keep it closer).

Master Duel is a thing. Its fun when you get someone of your same skill level but as soon as you get out of gold you better be packing a meta heat and then you might just end up watching some guy play solitaire.



Over the Nexus and Tag Force 5 are still peak Yugioh gaming

They're no Duelist of the Roses though, which is the single greatest YuGiOh game ever created.

So I found the feet seller on pf lmfao

I know it's such a strange thing to say but I remember someone mentioning it on a thread in here somewhere and I noticed it today when I decided to scroll PF to see if anyone wanted to swap BLU leveling(cause I'm too nervous to jump in and make a pf myself). Just made me laugh.

On another note, PF at least on Crystal is really... would it be mean to say trashy? If it's not a person selling their lewds of some kind it's people selling clears with websites straight up in there. Guess I'll just log off for the night really, it's time to deal with my bf's routine of calling me and whining because my parents won't let him spend the night.

I played for the first few months; stopped the season after Swordsoul became a thing because I built that to claw my way up to Diamond and wasn't having fun with it. I liked playing Rokket / Borreload and Red Dragon Archfiend, but those become unviable at higher levels.

I mean, the metagaming is just egregious. Synchro event? Better play True Dracos!

... I never did play competitively, and only really kept up with it until the end of the first season of GX. But I saw the Borreload designs and was like "Those are awesome!" and fell in love with their gameplay, same as RDA.
