I've played I, II, IV, V, VI, X, XII and XV. VII, IX and XIII are still on my list of games to play eventually, maybe VIII if I'm ever in the mood.

I initially skipped VII because it is just too popular, I already know the entire story - including sequels, prequels and the movie. IX kept crashing on my PC and XIII wouldn't even run - I'm still waiting for a collection on any console I own.

As for the ones I've played, X is the best one hands down. It is incredibly flawed, but still my favorite. The gameplay is the best in the entire series, I actually never liked the ATB even on wait. Instead we've got a great dynamic turn system and the constant swapping of party members was a great addition. The entire party felt useful. I also think the sphere grid is the best level up system in Final Fantasy. It has a great story too, although the really interesting bits about Sin aren't actually explained a lot, instead we waste an enormous amount of time on Seymour who I found utterly boring in comparison. Other than that, X's biggest flaws are Blitzball and the Cloister of Trials - both of which are so clunky, they kept me from completing the game more than once.

From the pixel era, I think VI is the best one - mostly because of it's story. Followed by IV and V. However, I like all of the games I played despite the implementation of the ATB or whatever you'd even call II.

Lastly, I think both XII and especially XV get a bad rep they don't necessarily deserve. I quite enjoyed them despite their flaws. My biggest gripe with XII is that the game plays itself after you've programmed your team, especially with the speed-up button modern versions have. There wasn't much gameplay in my second half. XV honestly only suffers from being too fragmented, half the story is hidden in movies, comics, animations and such. Other than that, I really came to like it once I accepted its action gameplay. I'd even call it my second favorite game overall and would like another game with the same system. (It may be noteworthy that I played XV completely blind, I only looked at trailers and the development history after I finished it.)

I won't get into all the spin-offs, but generally speaking, a lot of them are awesome. X and XV may be some of my favorite mainline FF games, but certain spin-offs are on my favorite games of all time list.

I'm still waiting for a reason to get a PS5 at all, everything I've been interested still got released on PS4 too - except for one single game.

I really don't care for better specs anymore, I probably couldn't even tell PS4 and PS5 games apart without a side-by-side comparison. Not to mention, to see a difference at all I'd need a new TV on top of the console. Not gonna happen anytime soon.

Für was? Seit dem Internet sind zunehmend mehr Kinder mit Zugriff auf Pornographie aufgewachsen, auch vorher gab es schon Optionen. Offensichtlich ist die Gesellschaft noch nicht zusammengebrochen.

Just in time for the Rust debate to kill its momentum development wise! (/s, likely)

They very much are for a lot of people. Lines goes up, you can give yourself a nice bonus payout and if things come crashing down you leave. With your golden parachute of course.

While they most certainly suck, so do most other people. As long as there will be a secondary market online someone will scalp tickets. Whether that's some random asshole or these organized assholes hardly matters in most cases.

Of course with random assholes doing the scalping there is still a chance to get a cheap one by being faster, albeit a very slim one.

Become a murderer yourself and listen to podcasts about your own case, see which podcast does the most accurate theories.

I guess /s, just in case.

He should have listened to them, if even WSB comes together to tell you how stupid that idea is, you know you've got a real stinker on your hands.

Maybe, but I think it will remain more popular than before. Let's say there are 10% of people in any given group who would theoretically believe bullshit - the number is chosen randomly. Thanks to stuff like TikTok they are way more likely to come into contact with lots of different bullshit to believe in than ever before.

Kind of like how Republicans would be more popular if everyone would watch Fox News every day.

Past low effort video game movies? Borderlands just released. The budget got bigger, but I don't think there's an honest effort here.

Even more controversial, I assume, the Mario and Sonic movies are forgettable at best. I couldn't think of a way to make them more generic without dropping the theming entirely.

On the topic of Mario, how did Jack Black end up in the Minecraft movie? I haven't seen anyone else in there before, I think.

All good things come in threes. /s

Yes. However, even in a general election I'd expect these parties to get a substantial amount of votes. The nazi party easily gets double digits in most states.

 

Greetings!

I'm fairly new to Master Duel and didn't play much Yu-Gi-Oh! in general for the past decade - you could say I'm a complete amateur.

Now, I've done most of the solo mode stuff to get to know some more archetypes and played the current Theme Chronicles event to the point where I got all obtainable gems with the vendread loaner deck. Luckily, the loaner was actually quite good, so I didn't need to build a deck. (Got all gems with a 22:8 win ratio.)

After all of this, I want to dive into ranked. For the solo mode stuff I've used an Endymion deck, which seems to be rouge at best - and I've only got the bare basics for the deck anyway (pretty much no extra deck). But now I have no clue which deck to go for. I don't know shit about the meta game and even less about the longterm viability of decks, as I don't want to spend all my ressources on building a deck that will banned soon anyway (like, Baronne seems like something that will be banned soon). Or worse, something that is simply unfun to play.

I don't particually enjoy stun decks and I'm not into all or nothing combo decks ending on a board full of generic boss monsters (looking at the new superheavy stuff). Is there something viable to start building, ideally with a low power version to test the strategy, before commiting to pulling/crafting all cards needed? (like, Mannadium would take all my ressources and it's gamble if I'd like it)

 

I'm just starting out with Godot and I've run into some strange or unwanted behaviors. Maybe some of you can help me fix them. I'm currently running Godot on arch linux with x11/i3 as my desktop environment.

1.) Godot got some really aggressive focus. The editor grabs the focus mid typing in other applications and suddenly I'm tying there. With i3 being a tiling manager, Godot is sometimes passively resized when I resize another window - of course it also immediately gets itself focused and messed the resizing up.

2.) The focus within Godot is even stranger. I can ctrl c + ctrl v nodes just fine on a freshly opened project. But once I've a clicked a single property in the import or inspector docker, ctrl c + ctrl v will work exclusively there. Even if the import docker is hidden underneath the scene docker where I'm clicking the nodes I want to copy/paste.

3.) The last one is about using an external editor. Whenever Godot encounters a bug, it will automatically open the script in question. Which is annoying because I use vim for everything and will throw warnings at me, that the file has been changed. I've looked through all editor settings and tried setting vim as my external editor but the behavior persists.

 

Basically, as the title says. I've got the itch to play another dragon quest game and would like to know how well regarded the ones are I didn't play yet compared to the ones I've played. Although I'll probably play IV in preparation for the upcoming DQM game, as I love those, maybe I've got time for two. Anyways, here's my list:

  1. DQ V (DS version)
  • It's got the overall best story thus far and includes monster taming, which I really liked. Overall just one of my favorite games.
  1. DQ VII (PS)
  • I'm oddly fond of VII. I'll acknowledge that it probably is not better than some of the following ones on paper, but it just clicked with me. I really like the beginning part of RPGs and VII got several of those with how disconnected it is at times.
  1. DQ XI (Switch)
  • I loved every second of XI and would probably rank it higher if the post-game wouldn't do what it does. While I really liked them later on, the Hero and both twins started off quite bland.
  1. DQ VIII (3DS)
  • The game itself is still really good, but it never grasped me with its story as the ones above did at times.
  1. DQ IX (DS)
  • IX never clicked with me at all. Having only silent no-names in you party already started off bad, but the overall story wasn't my cup of tea either. I generally like class systems, but this one didn't do it for me either.
