Ha! Fuckin' sweet. Thanks a bunch. Totally unexpected. A very nice surprise!

Damn I'm good Wordle 621 2/6* 🟨🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I plan on eventually asking someone on D1P to get it for me.

I just had to know what it tastes like personally. I didn't think for one second I would like the soda or those peeps, but I wanted to taste them. I felt the need to know how bad they really tasted. I'm not even really a peeps guy. Loved'em when I was a kid, but no so much now. Tho, the cotton candy peeps are good.

I'll be waiting until it is all out. Then I'll watch the last 3 eps of BoBF and start Mando.

I've no dream vacation. There are no places I would like to visit. The closest to a dream vacation would be getting a top of the line giga PC with all the fixins

I hope FF16 is so good that it kills the open world meme.

You get used to it if you don't hear any real people speak, or play another game, or do anything else involving real people voices.

Also tried these not even 5 minutes ago. Utterly repulsive. If you see them, please try them!

12 was good enough. Could have been great if Balthier was the MC.

I generally hate nights in video games. I get it, being dark is realistic, but I'd rather see the game, thanks. While nowhere nearly as dark, in Fallout/TES I rarely play during the game's night hours and tend to wait until early morning. In FFXIV, so many cutscenes are just not adapted well for night or even weather.

I can see the stairs and floor, but not well.

Man, for a second I thought you were talking about me lol.

Well most of the footage is at night and they really want to show off their magic particles. But it is also a symptom of modern day AAA. I feel like lots of games are just too darn dark at times.

You won't have to! You buy it. You try it. You throw it out after like 3 sips because you realize it's not going to get any better.

but he is wrong and dumb like the cry baby he is there are loads of _RPGs and that is for a reason it is also the reason why no one calls the souls games JRPGs

It does have an actual peep taste, but over all it takes more like burnt marshmallow or even caramel with a hint of vanilla.

I recommend you try it. It is awful!

stop drinking coke zero and it's variants

lol, I looked up the start of BG3 and it does this. It's like CG cutscene, create character... and you're at the bottom of the cliff (squid space ship) And, I don't want to say that CRPGs don't have hooks, but I feel like they almost make it their mission to hook you at some point after the start of the game whereas I need to be hooked from the get go. That or they have a thousand little hooks when all I want is a big hook.

This is Vic's fault, but I have had all of this mentally in my head for a while. I'm sure it is riddled with mistakes and incoherent sentences. I feel like there aren't any fantasy games that really interest me anymore outside of some large titles. Or like they do things that I just don't like with the characters or endings. Like, first is the genre. I have yet to find a CRPG that I like. It isn't even that they are isometric but that the gamplay is so boring. The gameplay of Lost Ark was really good. Shame it is an MMO. Most CRPGs feel so impersonal when it comes to the combat. I want a character that feels like "yeah that's MY character". When I tried playing Pillars of Eternity, my character felt more like a custom "unit" rather than a character. Oh and the reason I said CRPG is CRPGs always have the settings I want, but not the story or gameplay. I feel like they always have layers of bullshit that I can't wade through. Pillars and tides of numenera both have this issue of too many people to talk to. I have no idea who is even worth talking to and I feel like I need to talk to everyone on the off chance they say something actually important. JRPGs have this same thing, but my god CRPG NPCs just won't just the fuck up. Each and every one of them have a novel's worth of shit to say and it is just so uninteresting. They may provide lore, but I'm not really a lore guy. I just want the story. I feel like that is one of the reasons I like dragon age so much. It has pretty much everything I want without having to read a novel while playing a game. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but I'm not playing a game to fuckin' read. And it isn't even bad when games have some reading to do, but when it is filled with lore dumps disguised as conversation I just lose interest. Another big issue is that the few CRPGs I have played don't have anything to really hook you into the plot. They just kick you off a cliff, toss some party member in your path asap, and then you are left to talk to the whole fucking town. Dragon's Dogma has your heart getting stolen. Dragon Age has all the origins + becoming a Grey Warden. Mass Effect has the "mysterious ship", the death of a specter, zombies, the beacon, and all of that was just meant to be your specter test. And then there is something like Divinity. Like, listen. There is only one fucking protectionist, me. Maybe it is me as the Grey Warden. Maybe it is me as Link. Maybe it is me as the Chosen Undead. Maybe it is me as Doom guy. But I can't be two people. Do not be having me create a game with two MCs. Fuck right off with that. CRPGs also have this feeling where your custom character, while important, isn't actually a character and that makes me hate my party members. That's one thing I find many AAA games do right. Even in FFXIV your character is number 1. These fuckers wouldn't have done shit if it wasn't for my character. I can't remember which CRPG it was specifically, but I didn't even get why my character was there. They seemed so pointless and the only reason other NPCs flocked to them was because your character had the special power to save the day. I think this was from Baldur's Gate 3 in a video I watched, but it felt like there were like 7 characters all vying for the Main Character spot, and then there was you. Like your character was in the way of all the other better and far more important characters. And then there are the characters and romance and endings. I was reading something for like Pathfinder or something and I was reading different endings and romances with different NPCs and it felt like, well for a lack of a better term, cuckshit. Now, IIRC there wasn't actual cuckolding or anything like that but it felt like the spirit of it written into various ending and romances. Like, there were objectively wrong choices to make. I can't even go into specifics because I just lost interest so fast in whatever game that was. And a game with no romance is far better than a game with a bad romance (Rah, rah-ah-ah-ah). And some of the endings feel worse than a fallout slideshow ending. Like, while the games don't just end, it feels pretty close that. Like a, "that's it" or a "what's next." Or least from what I can tell. I have never beaten a traditional CRPG. There are endings that tell the rest of the MCs story and it is summed up in like 5 lines of text. I want to actually see that ending, not just read about it. And like, where is the game where you become the ruler of the world, through vile actions and upon your death your progeny start a massive war to take your seat because you refused to name a successor. Why is it always, "they were a good king, loved by the people," or , "they returned to the order, to forever lead the war against the realm's foes." Or, if you were bad, you just fuckin' die because being bad is wrong. I don't even want to actually be a bad guy, but I boy do I wish there was a game that did ruthless right. tldr: I want Dragon's Dogma but with a good story and ending and not some crazy dumb bullshit exactly like Dragon's Dogma. Or make it like Lost Ark but with a good story and cool NPCs who aren't better than the custom character. Or Dragon Age: Origins 2.

It is so damn tempting to just indulge in all of that but I must resist. I've never wanted to be so blind going into a game. I hate how hype I want to be and all because I like ffxiv. I don't want to get my hopes up and be let down. It is clearly not ff15 tho so that is good.

Dang bro

I ain't a pepsi man, but I loved pepsi lime.
