Unless you grill the shit out of it onions are the worst.

I love the smell of onions being cooked. No matter if they are grilled or sauteed.

If you'd stop covering onions in shit you wouldnt have to grill it so much.

 

[Hindenblewp]

Finally finished The Man In The High Castle. Dune or Hyperion next?

Dune's a classic, but the Hyperion Cantos is a really fun read.

All that to still play with a controller, lmao.

Really wish I could find me a hardcopy of Hyperion, but it's like imposssible.

But can you still use the horn?

Never forget.

I really wanted to make that noise my text tone for awhile.

And risk having the headset fly off your head. Seriously, it looked like was moving all over.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Watch Dogs 2 sure looks like an open world Ubisoft game

Unless you actually need a hardcover copy, it's like 8 quid on Amazon.

 

[Mr. F]

Yeah man its sad. One of the main reasons I got a sub was for that podcast and they havent given us one in ages. There has been a ton of stuff to talk about too. I kinda wish Dan and Alex would just do it if Jeff is the one who isnt motivated for it. I know he doesnt watch as much current stuff as they do, so I would be totally fine if it was just a 2 man show. It doesnt even have to be that long. 30-45 mins would suffice.

It's funny they advertise that on the premium promo video along with Box Office Bomb

Yeah I just really like hardcovers, honestly can't even read paperbacks. Does this make me crazy?

What are those things at the bottom there

Paperbacks crease and are annoying. I'm with you there.

What are those things at the bottom there

A Peace Walker PSP case, a cat, the bottom to an owl piggy bank, and cassettes for The KLF's 3AM Eternal single, the best of Dolly Parton, and Radiohead's The Bends.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The switch fanart thread was very enlightening.

 

[Salarians]

Looking at the pinned tweet from this gentleman makes this tweet even better.

something something anime avatars

ugh

Hooky it up with that p2 physical son

 

[Hindenblewp]

Hooky it up with that p2 physical son

1, 2, and P3P. Waifus for days.

 

[robotrock]

Burnout Legends was my first burnout game and I loved it.

 

[Curufinwe]

So RE7 looks much better on the Pro. Happy now Brad?

Lots of games look much better on the Pro.

 

[OdysseusVA]

How much better does RE7 look? What's improved

 

[Antiwhippy]

1, 2, and P3P. Waifus for days.

P3p is more about the husbandos though.

Shinji. ;_;

 

[Hindenblewp]

Spoiler

FeMC is the waifu

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh tbh i like femc a lot but the major appeal to me about p3p is the romantic routes with the dudes.

 

[Catvoca]

Ugh, there's so much more to Persona than waifus

Spoiler

Aigis is the only choice you heathens

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Don't ruin Persona for me

 

[Antiwhippy]

Too late.

Really though, i wish persona let's you look at the female perspective more.

 

[yami4ct]

1, 2, and P3P. Waifus for days.

P3: Yukari
P3P: Akihiko
P4: Yukiko
P5: Haru

Canon Waifus/Hasbandos. We all know.

Too late.

Really though, i wish persona let's you look at the female perspective more.

P3P FeMC is the best persona MC. It's not even close. It's insane how much better she is.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That's it, I hate Persona now.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Hanime talk again

 

[Catvoca]

That's it, I hate Persona now.

Honestly if it hadn't been for the endurance run I'd probably never have tried a persona game because the fandom makes the games look like garbage

 

[yami4ct]

Hanime talk again

There's always time for some good old fashion anime talk

As someone who played P4 the year it came out, let me tell you. We haven't always been this way. We were cool once. I swear.

 

[Hindenblewp]

That's it, I hate Persona now.

Don't let yami ruin good things for you.

 

[yami4ct]

Don't let yami ruin good things for you.

It only ruins things until you embrace it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean it's a game about relationships. Not just romantic ones, but persona is very explicitly about how relationships form the way we are, or more correctly how to be a complete sycophant to get absolute power.

 

[Archaix]

Persona was good back when it was good. Killing Hitler, like you should be doing in a video game. None of this going to class and hanging out bullshit. Kids in games should be skipping class to shoot demons with guns, dammit.

If you want to take waifu junk all to seriously, sure. There's a good reason the dumb waifu war stuff took off with persona more than basically any other game with dating and it's a testament more to the strength of the writing than cute character designs.

Yeah but what if the kids had to put a gun to their head and shoot themselves every fight they got into?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Disagree. Waifu shit is as prevalent with Persona as it is with any Japanese game with more than one attractive female in the cast.

 

[Archaix]

Yeah but what if the kids had to put a gun to their head and shoot themselves every fight they got into?

Fake guns with no bullets don't count. Persona games were at their best when you could choose to end any encounter by talking to somebody or by shooting them. Just like real life.

 

[Catvoca]

Yeah, Danganronpa has the same shit and those games have literally nothing to do with dating.

I can't relate to that, i don't live in America.

 

[yami4ct]

Disagree. Waifu shit is as prevalent with Persona as it is with any Japanese game with more than one attractive female in the cast.

Nah. It's certainly even more prevalent with persona.

Speaking as someone who frequents the circles where this kind of stuff comes up, Persona waifu talk is more frequent, more contentious and generally dumber because of that. Only thing that can compete in terms of scale of discussion is FE. Other games have it, but none to it to the degree of Persona.

 

[Antiwhippy]

And FE waifu talk is extra dumb too because the characters are all fucking terrible.

At least persona tries to make the characters actual characters and not cliche 101.

 

[robotrock]

waifu talk can destroy a good persona thread in a heartbeat.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I guess I'm completely (and very gladly) ignorant of what the battlefields for these discussions look like, because it all feels the same just from an outsider's perspective. Like, I hear more about Overwatch for this than Persona these days.

 

[Salarians]

Don't ruin Persona for me

 

[yami4ct]

FE gets waifu talk because of the damn sheer volume of characters now really.

I wouldn't shit on FE for its characters really. I mean, they could be better, but it's really the writing around them that fails them more than the characters themselves. Even at their worst like Fates, they do a little better than pure anime stereotypes. Too bad 90% of that character is locked behind supports.

I wasn't thinking of OW because it's not 'real' anime, but yeah. OW *might* be worse about waifu junk than Persona now. Partly because Blizzard actively feeds that stuff.

 

[robotrock]

I really think I would have played more Tokyo Mirage Sessions if my Wii U gamepad had a matte finish

 

[Fantastapotamus]

See, that does nothing for me cause that could literally be from every Japanese game ever made. So as long as I don't know what this is, I'm fine.
