I'll never stop posting this on thanksgiving day

wow. I was wondering why I suddenly got an email from US Consulate over the boarder being closed.

Just feel like posting Good Work's content. It's a humorous look at what is going on with OpenAI.

The idiot is speed running this. He has now filed a suite against media matters.

Messaging platform X on Monday sued media watchdog group Media Matters, alleging the organization defamed the platform after it published a report that said ads for major brands had...

He’s lost the French (Ubisoft), lol.

Sega stuff went live in canada and it's kind of eh....  Oh well grabbed Sonic Origins for switch.

FYI for anybody in Canada (at least). Front Mission 1st: Limited Edition (NSW) is only $30.

Most of ESPN has left the sports conversation on X.

Good…Good….

Brands who pause their advertising on X are wimps. They need to man up and leave the platform.

I'm considering:

 

Nier Automata $16

Crisis Core $30

Jedi Survivor PS5 $35

Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope $15

 

Any thoughts?  Should I avoid Jedi Suvivor or Crisis Core?

Neir is a must

Crisis core is a must if you've never played (I'm on the fence mostly because I already played the psp game)

Jedi: No opinion

M&R: If you like SRPG it's worth a play at that price

Uggg.... Sega deals atm are still not great in canada (Sure SMT5 for cheap but I have it, sonic superstars is only 50% off but still pricey), last year everything sega was on sale even brand new releases. With that said I added 3 more this morning Loop8 (switch, it was $25), Dragon Quest Treasures (switch, was $35) and GrimGrimoire OnceMore (switch, not technically marked on sale but the price dropped to $40).

I'm also tempted but holding back atm on Octopath 2 (switch, $54) and Crisis Core (switch, $40) to see what other deals show up this/next week.

* Note prices are in Canadian

With the amount of games this series releases, not sure “the longest game ever” is on my Yakuza wishlist 

Yeah agreed. I find the Yakuza games long enough as is. Their length tends to make the mid section of the game drag on for way too long. I think the story would benefit from a tighter, slightly shorter, game.

Oh god... The pain to my backlog is starting... I already ordered 1 game this morning (Master Detective Archives Rain Code, switch) and while typing this caved and bough another (Little Witch Nobeta, switch). I also saw bomberman R2 on sale.... 

If sega does a BF sale this year like last year, Oh boy...

Messed up story regarding SH2 for me. When I got it on sale from amazon for a brand new copy they literally sent me a copy that was opened and look like a dog chewed it. It was the most WTF amazon issue I ever had. Luckily no issue with getting a replacement which I did but it still has me questioning how the hell that got shipped to me.

I… I need this ornament to become a real thing asap

 

What about a round LED ornament that lets you put your own picture on it? I'm use that must exist already on aliexpress somewhere.

Sorry to hear about @best3444, Hopefully you can bounce back from this quickly as it can be a difficult spot to be in mentally at the start. 

It depends, one could look at it and say I bought a Japanese magazine that came with a toy, or you could look at it from my perspective and say I bought a toy that came with a magazine.

Also get your head out of the gutter, it was for taiko no tatsujin.

I forgot we had this thread. LoL

Looking forward to getting my copy this week but fat chance I actually get to play it anytime this year. =(

Looks like I’m not getting my copy for another 1-2 weeks. It was recently found out that all Asian prints (other than Malaysia?) have their release with all Chinese text on the box instead of English. The place I bought mine from is trying to rectify the matter and get English replacement inserts which will be 1-2 week delay.

oh well not a big issue because not like I have time to play atm anyways.

No, he has a tricked out X68000, that was his first big buy years ago.

 

I think it was the PC-98 he wanted. But it was like $1500 or so at Hard Off. 

Ah. a PC-98 is pretty nice. I hope you were looking at Hard Offs outside major cities like Tokyo.

Btw as a side question, did you two go check out any arcade stores (think super potato but just arcade pcbs). I know some retro stores have a few arcade PCB but I remember there being one in Tokyo that is just arcade PCB.

Can I get that on a shirt?

Yep, he's watched that channel some.

 

He was oogling sadly over retro PCs at a Hard Off there. Really expensive and too heavy to reasonably transport back home, though. Some even had the caps replaced.

Yeah retro jpn pc hardware is a lot to deal with. If he was possibly wanting an X68000, the company who worked on the genesis mini (zuiki) did just put out a mini X68000Z.

Yeah, he’s a giant Falcom nerd. Notice all the Falcom soundtracks in the CD pic. 

Yes i did.

If he doesn't know about this YT channel and it's PC-88 Paradise series, I think he will enjoy it as it covers falcom games and their history.

I forgot to post about this but remember when the news made a big deal about pedo ass signing on to a letter that we should take a pause on AI? Remember how much that was blown up but non idiots knew it was BS? Well X announced their own LLM Grok recently that is tied into twitter/x data.

I give it about a day before it's found to spout really racist shit.

Husband bought that, I know nothing about it. Took him forever to find it.

I’m guessing he also picked up the other Falcom games as well? He has good taste.  (speaking as another falcom nerd).
