I guess since I'm here again, I'll make my own Now Playing topic!

I wonder if Undertale would have gotten this far if everyone didn't utterly fucking freak out over it winning for each round it was in. I mean, I imagine nearly everyone who is voting for it would probably vote for it anyway because they like it and all, but I wonder how many of those people would actually turn out to vote for it if they didn't get some concrete results out of doing so.

like ahriman for example

hmm?

Are people freaking out about Undertale winning rounds of the GameFAQS contest?

So, Persona 4 Golden. I guess I'm playing this. On Very Hard mode of course.

Immediate observation: New Chie is a mixed bag, but mostly negative. On one hand, the original voice actor did not sound anything like a teenager, and more like a 40-year old east coast lady. On the other, Erin Fitzgerald is still probably one of the worst voice actors in the industry, and it shows -- she's markedly worse at actually acting. Geez...

EDIT: New Teddie is all around worse, ofc.

Oh, Maniac. Still completely incapable of actually enjoying things.

I do like that about you.

Live on the east coast, can confirm.

p.s. on the first day of dungeoning, both of my characters got criticaled and wiped and i stopped playing ofc

there's a bit of grinding to do on the first day for an optimal all-s-link run (gotta get sandman for the strength s-link), and it really annoys me that, for some arbitrary reason, it's the only day on which you cannot fuse stuff or save in the dungeon proper. i mean, you've already been introduced to the velvet room, so why the fuck not i guess

actually, i just remember persona 4's first dungeon being a jillion different varieties of rough in general, where it's harder than like, 95% of the rest of the game lol

shadow yukiko went out on the first try, despite me remembering nothing about her and not having a whole lot of MP lol

like, it really sucks to have a party member who is weak to her element without a whole lot of stuff to counter it. i guess you get red wall pretty early, but it's also 18 MP (none of my party members had more than 60 MP, and that was after I spent all my MP items on them) and only lasts a couple of turns. so like, she has agi and her all-target fire spell, and unless you have chie guard every turn, she has a chance of knocking her out of commission. doesn't help that she always follows knocking down anyone with her signature attack, which is horrifically sadistic -- very hard mode jacks up the crit rate of physical skills for enemies to somewhere around like, 50%, so it was really great when she criticaled yosuke, used her signature move to wipe out chie and ravage my party, and almost wiped me in one go lol. thankfully, the new shuffle time system makes it really easy to accumulate a lot of endurance early on, as well as level your persona, so my MC was a tanky mother fucker who took half the damage everyone else did lol

not looking forward to shadow kanji on that note -- dude is all phys, so I expect like, a jillion criticals from that one.

[Maniac]

this is what i've been doing since christmas

spot everything wrong with this picture

[Ƨɒlƚy]

you're fatrolling

[Maniac]

fatroll threshold in dark souls 2 is > 70%

[Ƨɒlƚy]

oh ok

but how the hell is your first weapon doing that much damage with the low stats you have?

[Maniac]

two-handing

you're getting close, though

EDIT: also i'm bellbro-ing. it's great, i just got a plunging attack on some poor fucker right under me in luna as he was trying to recover in the middle of a fight with some other guy without him noticing me.

[ganonfloyd]

the hair is very distracting

Vanilla or First Sin?

[Maniac]

first sin. vanilla, at least for the PC, is a graveyard and even on challenge runs do i feel compelled to do stupid **** online

also spoilers that's a level 1 character with massively over-inflated stats courtesy of all the stat increasing equipment i snagged from the DLC areas

[Maniac]

one of the most obvious things ever, but something i've only just noted: running around aimlessly in fallout 4, killing raiders while listening to motorhead's entire discography is awesome

makes me almost want to see if i can make lemmy as a character, and i prolly can. only i'd have to sit through the indignity of lemmy sounding like an american everyman talking about saving his baby, which is just ewwww

[Ƨɒlƚy]

you could always go play brutal legend
