I don’t know the episode, but the joke is about the TV broadcast experiencing difficulties. The broadcast warns against any sexual interactions to pass time because years of TV radiation shriveled up their genitals.

I’ve waited months to collected one of these points! Let’s hope I’m right.

I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.

I’m really glad I wasn’t born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I’m not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.

Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I’ve finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

• Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
• Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

I couldn’t name a single street in the city I’ve been born in except the ones I lived in. I’ve learned to navigate the city before I could read and never bothered to read street names thereafter.

The same goes for every other city, my mental map of cities includes almost no street names. Maybe that’s because I don’t use cars at all, after all I could name bus stations and such (some of which are named after streets, I guess, but I’ve still got no idea about how they connect or even which street of an intersection actually has the name).

I guess my wish came true, and we’re done with setup episodes. The only thing still missing is a reoccurring villain - the original Dragon Ball was at its best with Piccolo, Tao Pai-Pai or General Blue.

I’m still not very interested in Glorio, but Panzy seems like a fun stand-in for Bulma. In fact, she seems so similar, I’m wondering why Bulma will join at all. Maybe both groups will be on their own adventure for the most part. The new alien guy joining up with Vegeta seems fun, I’m sure they will annoy each other to no end.

Goku almost went Super Saiyan and up until now nothing came close to a challenge. I guess it will be quite some time until they hit a wall, which is a shame, since training arcs are always my favorite ones.

Otherwise, there isn’t much to say. Shin still did nothing, they still lay it on thick about Glorio being suspicious and with the ship crashing after mere minutes, while funny, the episode ended where it began.

Who cares? Just like most things your average programmer relies on, they are written by smarter or at least more specialised people to make your job easier. They have learned to write memory-safe code so you don’t have to.

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don’t antagonize women?

It is obvious, you’re right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn’t have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it’s not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.

Probably talking out of his ass. I like to read conservative threads to see comments outside of my bubble - they say the same shit, just about other platforms like reddit.

It’s the age of post-truth and I don’t think there is a fix for that anytime soon.

It’s been a fun episode, like always. However, I think we’ve had enough setup episodes at this point. The next one will probably introduce the new girl properly and after that I’m ready to get the plot rolling.

That being said, there is still a lot of interesting stuff in there. I’m most curious about the fusion bugs - I hope we get some wacky combinations. Also, is it a third kind of fusion with new designs or would e.g. Goku + Vegeta result in either Vegitto or Gogeta?

Unabhängig von den scheinbar kontroversen Figuren würde mich interessieren ob und wenn ja warum Kappen in der Altersklasse so beliebt sind. In meiner Blase, geschätzt ähnliches Alter, trägt niemand Hüte.

Honestly, the anime isn’t even good. Like, I’m still reading the manga, but I had to stop watching the anime something like 10 years ago.

I’ve heard it has gotten better since then, but watching the whole thing still includes years worth of episodes so thinly streched you could probably watch every third one without missing anything. And that’s on top of arcs so long, they are even a slog to read through (Dressrosa and Wano).

That should not stop you from trying. You, and everyone else in this thread for that matter, just drop excuses. Either you guys finally start removing some billionaires, I’m all for that, or you start doing the little things. Ideally, just do both.

Performance problems aside (menus take ages to load in), I like the game quite a bit. There is just so much stuff: 120 characters, two additional fighting systems for special events, a card game, a bayblade minigame, a castle/town upgrade system and probably much more - I’m not even halfway done. The combat is quite auto-attack heavy and therefore simple, but keep in mind I’m olaying with double MP cost for all abilities (one of the additional challanges to tweak your own difficulty, like the ones in Dragon Quest XI).

As for the EXP thing, there are a few things that happened to align for me. EXP works like this:

• Each level requires 1000 EXP.
• You get EXP based on level difference between you and your enemies. There is a maximum value of EXP a single enemy can give to usually prevent what happened to me - I think it’s about 1000 for most enemies.
• If you get say 3000 EXP, that’s 3 level ups. Remaining EXP does not get adjusted upon each level up. That’s great since you can recruit 120 characters and if you miss someone at first, it does not take long to catch up if you want to use them.
• You fight with 6 charaters. EXP is split between them, meaning you get more EXP per character if only e.g. 2 of them survive.

Now, what actually happened to me is: I fought a unique mini-boss encounter with 5 enemies. I was overall underleveled and got wiped twice. The third time however, I won with only my weakest character still standing - he was 8 level below my team average. He got about 1200 EXP for the level difference * 5 enemies * 6, since only he survived, resulting in about 35 level ups.

You might want to know that FF Tactics and FF Tactics Advance are different games entirely, unlike FF V and FF V Advance for example. They couldn’t even keep a consistent naming scheme for ports/new games within the FF franchise.

Now, depending on who you ask, only one of these two is good. I firmly believe FF Tactics Advance is the better game, most ofher people will sing the praise of FF Tactics.

Having played both, just between you and me: FF Tactics has so much jank, I couldn’t finish it despite FF Tactics Advance remaining in my Top 10 since release. It has an awesome story, but there are just so many battles you simply have to restart over and over because the NPC you should be protecting dies before you get a single turn in. And don’t even get me started on the two occasions you get prompted to save your game inbetween two missions - soft-locking your game if you cannot win the second one.

And, SRPG fans are firmly separated by perma-death. Some think the genre needs it and FF Tactics has it. Others, including me, dislike perma-death and FF Tactics Advance doesn’t have it (with few exceptions).

Eiyuden Chronicles

Despite playing on the highest difficulty with all extra challanges, it’s quite chill right now. Due to some quirks in how EXP works, one of my characters shot up 35 levels in a single fight. While he is lvl 55, everyone else - including my enemies - are around lvl 28.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I’m a sucker for SRPGs. But Golden Sun is up there for sure.
