Essence_of_Meh,

Because that’s what it is. I think some of it might have to do with the limited content of the petition itself (a pretty short description about “customers being robbed” without any broader ideas suggested by the campaign) and some with the fact they get plenty of petitions so the first reaction is to stick with what’s already there. That’s my guess at least.

I hope that if this petition reached 100k signatures and went to a parliamentary hearing there could be a chance for a more nuanced presentation of the topic but who knows, maybe I’m just being naive.

Essence_of_Meh,

Isn’t this the guy making videos talking about vtubers’ real lives/previous activities and linking them to their current personas (something many of them specifically don’t want)? Didn’t he also have a Patreon exclusive content with some pretty specific (and gross) stuff?

I thought he quit?

Essence_of_Meh,

People give him shit for talking about people’s past personas.

Sounds pretty reasonable considering most talents try to keep this stuff separated, dude should know better for being a “vtuber historian”… I’m just glad it wasn’t as bad as what was reported early on.

Essence_of_Meh,

That’s cool, didn’t know that!

Essence_of_Meh,

Let’s hope it causes less issues than PES release. My experience so far consists of transaction errors, inventory barely working and getting yeeted out of a tram mid-flight. Fun times.

How do you like to approach writing about games?

I've noticed there are some folks writing at length here on their experiences playing games, so this felt like a good place to ask. Do you take notes as you play, and/or after each session, then write out full thoughts upon completing a game?

Or are your reflections compiled only after finishing a game, no notes?

I've dabbled with different approaches, and haven't really settled on a consistent process personally.

Essence_of_Meh,

I’m one of those posting walls of text so I guess I’ll throw in my thoughts on this.

I tend to write down bullet points about stuff that pops out the most while playing - I jump between many different games all the times so it’s a useful habit to avoid mixing my thoughts about them. I note these points shortly after play session (if I’m on my PC) or the next day (if I was playing on handheld in bed) and then expand on them after I’m done with the game.

Since I don’t really have anyone to talk about older titles my write ups tend to be on the longer side and read more like a draft than a thought out summary. My desire to include as much info as I can also doesn’t help with this issue. Lots of thoughts + no way to filter them through a third party + limited time do not make for a sensible process.

In the end, I just want to let people know about the weird jank I play. Bad and mediocre games need love too!

Essence_of_Meh,

Joplin is my goto as well!

I’ve got a lot of jank to write about in my backlog, might find some interesting surprises if you like that type of experiences.

Essence_of_Meh,

You’re absolutely right about the dialog and I’m not sure why I forgot to include it in my post - that’s a pretty stupid decision on dev’s part, especially since there’s enough downtime that could be used for that purpose instead.

While mission design is pretty linear I never really found it to be a huge issue. It might be because I never expected any openness to begin with so anytime there was an option to avoid full-on combat seemed like a nice surprise. It doesn’t help that there isn’t much room for experimentation since enemies can be really deadly at times.

It’s definitely not a game for everyone and I can understand why you bounced off of it. I’ve been molded by jank so my tolerance to many of game’s issues is rather high. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for mediocre titles - I seem to drift towards them more than to polished, high-budget games.

Essence_of_Meh,

Hell yeah!

It lives! Thank you for posting this, I really missed this series.

Essence_of_Meh,

That’s what I was (unsuccessfully) getting at. Mangadex updates stopped and I wasn’t aware about it being updated elsewhere so I kinda accepted I’ll have to wait until I can catch up on the physical releases.

Either way, I’m just glad it’s back. It’s a great series.

Essence_of_Meh,

Yep, already planned to nab them. I just need to thin out my backlog a little bit since I’m trying to catch up on multiple ongoing series as it is.

Essence_of_Meh,

Did I hear something about Comic Sans last week?

Still don’t have time to look for new stuff so here’s a list of updates for some of the ongoing series I follow:

On an unrelated note, it feels like this community became quite active recently, that’s nice.

Essence_of_Meh,

I feel you. I also tried to kick-start a community pretty much since my first day on fediverse but gave up recently. Granted, my topic was way more niche than anime or manga but screaming into a void for so long gets tiring. Now I try to help with content in places with at least some amount of life in them - hopefully we’ll have a bit more discussions in the future.
