Their better guess is awful. Missing a letter and repeating a letter instead of ruling out an additional letter? Wheel of Fortune rules does say that middle letter is worth more, but it can't be worth more than an ALREADY revealed letter. That's just dumb.

I'll take it

No, not quite. I want proper C-buttons in the correct size and arrangement. A six button controller is superficially similar, but it just feels different.

Also I have that Retro-bit controller and it sucks fucking monkey ass. Holy shit the sticks are terrible.

Scratched from the list then. Right now my Lakka desktop has a couple of those 8bitdo NeoGeo CD gamepads, a couple of regular old N64 controllers, and an 8bitdo SN30 Pro. Was hoping to add a nice 6 button controller to the mix, but was being lazy and cheap about pulling the trigger.

Man, I still want an N64 controller (old design, modernized design, doesn't matter) that has both the C-buttons and a second stick.

Specifically for Ship of Harikinian, where I can play OoT with full right-stick camera movement, but still want C-buttons for items, and more importantly, ocarina playing. That shit's too ingrained in my brain to relearn on other buttons. Makes me sad.

 

Hopefully someday, someone makes this extremely niche product for me specifically.

So you want an OG Xbox controller? Not really C buttons, but it's the only dual analog, 6 face button controller I can think of. There's also some dual analog Saturn gamepad by Retrobit there that has been tempting to pick up for emulation.

No complaints here

So how is Delicious in Dungeon not the official anime of this forum? It's a dungeon crawler that constantly gets interrupted by discussions of food.

It started last season and is on Netflix with a simuldub, so new episodes in multiple languages every Thursday. 

It's such a good series. Also, all the food looks great.

Blah

Holy crap man, that video *is not* proof! That is a person speculating, speculation that goes directly against the actual facts. This is conspiracy level nonsense. The developers have already come out and said it's the same model and that same model publicly stated that she *quit* because of the backlash She's not a make believe person.

Saying backlash is being too nice here. It was targeted harassment and phones calls toxic stalkers. Like these are real people being targeted by these rage grifters looking to make a quick buck.

The game character (Jesse Faden) looks similar to her actress (Courtney Hope), but not exact IMO. Jesse looks less attractive/pretty to me than Courtney.

I don't know what to tell you. I played through Control. She looks like a lower resolution Courtney Hope.

Again, what are you even on about? 

21 minutes ago, Phaseknox said:

Why? I like playing as what I personally consider appealing and attractive looking characters in every game that I play including sports games.

I need you to understand that you're bothered that real life athletes aren't attractive enough for you. We aren't talking about make believe characters invented for a videogame, but like real people that exist in meat space.

Here are all the games released just this year  with female characters and let's see how more games have fewer attractive characters

You missed Nintendo's games from last year. Because not even Nintendo is immune from giving us games with attractive characters. Those include...

Fire Emblem Engage

Fire Emblem Engage, I guess doesn't count because there's also a trans character in it. I seem to recall all of the Internet thirsting over...

Zelda TotK

What about Pokemon? There was the new Detective Pikachu last year...

Maybe the Advance Wars remake?

YouTube ragebait is a thing that people just fall for every day. Rage grifters just looking to make a buck.

Some examples of western developed games with female characters in them that seem to have been deliberately made less attractive looking (IMO) include: Control

I just need to point out that it's really hard to go over the rest of your list and take it seriously when your very first choice looks exactly like her actress.

What are you even on about?

You need to back up off the ragebait YouTube. It's all brainrot. I notice these chuds always use the same two or three screenshots to prove their point about characters being ugly. Same crazies that argued Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West was ugly.

I won't even click on that video. It mentions Pokemon in the thumbnail and Pokemon most recently gave us the two hottest professors in the history of the franchise.

Clearly you rubes are forgetting Tesla is a TECH company and not a CAR company 

What I always find amusing about this is that tech stocks soar because there's a rush to get in early before the company goes profitable or get in before some big acquisition. The other major tech companies near the top of the valuation charts are basically companies so huge we can't really picture the market without them.

I don't understand where Tesla falls in there. The company is already twenty years old. They're already at the profitable stage of their existence...sort of. They're valued too high to actually be bought out by anyone. They don't have more street data than either Apple or Google. They own NACS, but they've given it away, royalty free. Their lead was in electric car sales, which they won't have for much longer, and battery production...which seems like an unfulfilled promise at this point.

Everytime I see their stock rise I feel like I'm missing something and I just don't know what.

I think the industry has significantly changed the female characters (as well as male) in games.

I mean, yeah. With increased graphical fidelity, game characters look more realistic. Also, there's been a sort of acknowledgement within the industry that gaming isn't just a hobby enjoyed by 13yo boys, so there really isn't a need to pander to only little kids anymore. Things like bikini armor only ever existed to pander to kids. Horizon Forbidden West definitely targets an older audience. I mean, the primary antagonists are tech bros with unchecked greed. Capitalism is the enemy is not normally the subject for kids' games.

Let me give an analogy. It would have looked dumb as shit if in the LOTR movies Arwen was running around in a bikini. Fantastical settings doesn't mean unserious in this way.

 

 

This Horizon doesn't have attractive women?

 

 

People who complain about Horizon Forbidden West not having enough attractive male and female characters are crazy to me. It's not good enough that most of the main cast is conventionally attractive, but we also need little miss peasant farmer over here to look like Jessica Rabbit while we kill off everyone over 40.

-Wind Breaker: looks fun and a bit different than the slew of isekai and romance anime we get inundated with, has potential but could be bad

I have such a soft spot for tsundere leads in action series. We really don't get them all that often. Haruka being a try hard cupcake that can actually kick some serious ass is a lot of fun. I'll definitely keep up with your one and then maybe even pick up the manga afterwards. I already have the manga bookmarked in the Kodansha's app.

An English dub is coming...

Should note. This is based on my impression after 3 episodes. It could certainly fall off from here, but Cloverworks has a damn good track record.

Some of my buddies got really into this and recommended it, but I find myself bouncing off it pretty hard. I’m generally an easy sell for animation, especially adult animation, musicals, and high concept shows of all kinds, but something about this one just isn’t working for me. I even grew up in the church, so I’m a sucker for biblical references (like you find in Good Omens) but from what I’ve seen this doesn’t do anything fun with that material.The design work I find inconsistent and off putting, and I really can’t get into the songs. The animation is pretty poor, reminding me more of old flash animations more than anything. I’m having a hard time figuring it out exactly, but something about this show makes me feel like I’m just a bit older than the target audience. 

 

It certainly seems that this show has found a following, but I will not count myself among them.

 

How about you all? Are you enjoying this more than I am?

Nah, you're not alone there. It didn't click for me either. I'm all for immature and foul comedy, but this one didn't land for me. This is the second series by Vivienne Medrano that kind of fell flat for me. I gave her previous work, Helluva Boss, more of a chance than Hazbin Hotel. I think I watched like 4 or 5 episodes of that one before I checked out. Hazbin Hotel is very much playing to her fans, so I can't fault her there.

Blah. I nearly played this word earlier

Watching now with the kiddo. It's a solid kids show, well made, actually funny even for adults, and doesn't treat kids like idiots. It's a kids show at the end of the day, so weird to compare it to the Sopranos, but struggling to think of another kids show of quality to compare it to.

I can't really think of any. Storybots is the only other series that comes to mind that targets the same age groups and doesn't treat kids like idiots. However, it's also a very different kind of show and not a narrative fiction like Bluey. Storybots is more Magic School Bus for Gen Alpha.

There are other great animated series for that 5-10 age range. Just none that are aiming to teach kids something. I wouldn't put, say, Hilda in the same genre, but I would say it also does an equally good job of entertaining adults and children. Honestly, pretty sure my son and I enjoyed Hilda about equally.

It's one of, if not the only, palatable kids show that doesn't shut away from now serious discussions. My kids are just the right age and the only other series I can think of that tackles real life situations as well as Bluey is Daniel Tiger, but Daniel Tiger is very much for small children, complete with little songs about how to use the toilet or count to ten.

Bluey is very much a series designed for children where parents can also sit in and enjoy themselves. There isn't enough content like that. Sure, my kids like SpongeBob and Amazing World of Gumball and I can sit there and enjoy those with them, but Bluey is the only one that'll actually somehow enrich them.

They just did a 28min episode or something and everyone is sad, wondering if the show was ending because 

I was so disappointed in that special.

A real shame because I really think they could have had some fun and interesting topics otherwise.
