I've learned so many things from these memes. You absolutely could consider writing a book, given how captivating your delivery is.

KH3 is bad. If I wanted to rank the main games, it'd be KH2, KH1 Remastered, KH1 with the original terrible camera and platforming, and then KH3. It's not functionally broken, but it's such a disappointment.

The story is a hot mess because you need to play Birth By Sleep to know who Aqua is, and KH 0.2 to figure out how she got to KH3, Dream Drop Distance to know how Sora and Riku got there (which also builds off KH:coded) and to understand why you're fighting Organization XIII again after you defeated them entirely in 2 and why there's multiple versions of the big bad, and KH X (the Greek letter pronounced "key") to know what the hell a random thing that shows up toward the end of the game is. And I'm probably forgetting stuff. I hadn't played everything, and by the end, I was just sitting back and saying "Yeah, that's another thing that didn't make any sense" for about every story point.

The attractions have no place in combat. They make it insanely easy, and I decided to turn them off entirely after I beat a boss just by juggling it on a pendulum ride. The Disney worlds kind of feel bare bones despite their size. It's pretty, but it's also empty.

I wanted to love this game so, so much, but they had to cover over a decade of lore because the creator couldn't finish FFXV, and it's not brought together in any really coherent or satisfying way. The combat managed to be a step down from KH2. I finished the game, and I was just frustrated because it just was not good.

All that said, for buying it, this game is supposed to tie up all the endings started in the other games. I'd just grab 1.5+2.5, and you'll still have a good chunk of content if you've only played the main games. But if you also want to grab 2.8, buying the bundle is just cheaper.

Oh yeah. Don't go into these expecting Citizen Cane. They're a vehicle for jokes.

I enjoyed both Bon Cop/Bad Cop and its sequel. First one is about a Quebec and Ontario cop working a murder over a state line, second one involves the US a bit. And Menteur (you can find it as Compulsive Liar if searching in English), where a guy who lies constantly wakes up one morning and everything he's lied about is true. It's got a sequel with one of the characters that comes out this week, I think.

If you're okay with crying, Spiritfarer is great.

It looks great!

Bonne St. Jean!

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this feels like they're actively trying to make all of these personal experiences of others feel like their own original thoughts. That community was allegedly made to be a mirror of the Reddit community, same with !furry_memes@pawb.social . There's zero reason to be hiding the original link if there's good intentions, and they should be putting it in themselves.

Yeah, but it's starting to feel like there's more downsides. They've put out so much DLC that they're literally offering a monthly subscription service to get access to all the DLC. The new DLC costs $25 (base game costs $40), and comes with a game-breaking patch that couldn't have been shipped without knowing there were glaring issues, and a disclosure that AI was used to make some of the assets. It's getting harder to feel that you're seen as a playerbase instead of a cash cow.

Like every major release, they redid some management elements, so people are unhappy about that. But the big thing was that 4.0 was a patch intended to address performance with how pops were handled, so the mid-late game was playable at a good speed. Instead the update made performance issues worse, and apparently even with a bunch of hotfixes performance is still bad, and there's a lot of issues caused by the patch other than performance.

This ain't about him.

I mean, I get that, but why? I didn't ask out of an intent to name and shame, I just don't have any clue why someone would go to these lengths to make a couple new communities and astroturf them here. Lemmy doesn't have advertising, or any other kind of incentive to promote a community other than it being active. It's not every post from those communities they picked either, just ones that, at a glance, have passed a certain threshold of upvotes. So why would they be doing this? If you wanted to copy over a community entirely from Reddit, lemmit.online is a thing still. This took some work, and given the bursts of posts they're probably doing it manually.

It turns out that it's actually kind of well-intentioned. Granted, they asked a bunch of other subreddits as well, but they just look like someone excited about growing the fediverse. The only real issue I had was using a non-bot account for self-posts, since it made it seem like they were passing off all these experiences as their own. A note in the sidebar that these are intended to be Reddit backups and that posts are copied over probably would go a long way to preventing the confusion in the future.

And thanks to @ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social for looking this up and putting in the work.

Blue Period is mine. I can't quite name why, but it just resonates with me every time. I'd love a second season, but the anime nearly caught up to the manga when it was released.

So, this is getting kind of weird. You don't own a fursuit and don't know what it's like, but you posted earlier that you had taken murrsuit pics. You're posting what you say is OC here, but you've also apparently never drawn?

And now you're asking us what it's like being a furry, even though you told your boyfriend you were one before now. You also say you've been in the fandom for a decade. You even have a sona, one you said a fursuit maker had basically copied. Assuming this post is a genuine question and disregarding what you've said about yourself, you've created two furry communities here and are basically their sole contributor, so it's hard to imagine you don't think of yourself as one.

So I have to know, are you just grabbing posts from somewhere else and throwing them on here as yours? Are you just making stuff up and trying to see what sticks?

I played a ton of it, and it basically consumed everything I did, but after a while I just dropped it. I technically beat the game, but I think it's probably the worst-kept spoiler that finding the 46th room isn't finding more than a fraction of the puzzles the game has to offer.

At this point, it's less of a fun payoff and more of just a feeling of "finally" for the puzzles. There's a room that allows multiples of another room whose puzzle I never managed to figure out after multiple tries, even with heavy RNG manipulation. I have another puzzle that I have to have specific rooms to place as well, which means more RNG. When it's giving good puzzles, the game is a wonderful onion. When you're stuck on a bad one, you're either cursing the RNG required for it, or wondering how the hell the devs could ever have expected that to be solved (looking at you, Room 8's predecessor).

I've got what feels like a ton left to find, but it kind of feels like I'm at the point where the satisfaction is outweighed by the tedium or the sheer confusion the puzzles have. All that to say that this game has totally been worth it, even if I couldn't find myself finishing it.

I don't think it is. I looked it up and couldn't find anything further in the thread from them. Their account has been deactivated, so (I think) the original is gone and we just have reblogs. Wayback Machine doesn't have it either.

There's a version that has a bit more.

The images that are hosted on quokk.au for the old community don't appear to be available. Getting a 404 for all of those. Images posted from other instances are fine, but all images hosted on the new site seem to be broken. I know there's federation issues with the new community, but the migration appears to have broken about half the posts in the original community.

I can't find a source for this now, but this is the last part of the intro sequence of Doom 2016 (NSFW due to a dead guy, some blood, and earlier in the clip a lot more gore). After they got the sequence audio perfectly synced up for the console platforms and (I believe) the more popular graphics configurations at the time, the director said no one was to touch that part of the code at all, under any circumstances. It's not that they didn't have version control, it was just that it was so finicky that they didn't want to have to go through that trouble again. For reference, this is what it's like off-sync, with the shotgun lagging a bit behind the end.

Monster Train 2. The first scratched the itch I had when I had run out of steam with Slay the Spire, and the second has built on top of the first with some new card classes, giving you different abilities for your engine, and five new races with new mechanics for each. It's fantastic, and really feels like everything you'd want out of a sequel. And as a nice bonus, it's not too hard on the Deck's battery.
