i read the first few pages in a bookstore a few years ago and this was my worry when it got announced. haven't watched yet but i hope i end up being wrong

the starter gameplay sucks too hard for me to recommend it to anyone until like mid 30s, i just love slapping big buttons

so true i basically hopped on the last train

pop'n music. effectively a dead game so i can mostly only play it at home on my controller

extremely glad i got out of school about 2 years before all this (i have test anxiety so all of my degree was spent being anxious except for during co-op terms)

they don't have a playable version of the only game i play 😔

i don't know

what's that

wow, i didn't know you had a wife, congratulations 😀

i always have many mixed frustrated feelings thinking about these rural lines

it's gonna be rebuilt, ofc. but its not gonna be quite the same because it's not really gonna help the locals out so much as just be a really cool tourist attraction that was rebuilt using local money and is also a loss maker

the whole concept of a modern village in a dense forest, built along a river cutting through the middle, connected entirely by a train running next to the river is so goddamn cool man. and it's gone forever

(i realize this is somewhat tongue in cheek but) imo while AI is probably going to put out "very compelling content" soon, it won't compete with smaller content where you can connect with and speak with the person who made it

(that is, until it can maintain a persona while creating)

the vibe i got there was probably that the owners did not care or have it cross their mind for whatever reason

(my arm actually got cut and hurt for quite a while but there was no infection or permanent damage so nothing much in the grand scheme of things, but ig it could have been a lot worse)

i love dogs (we've had one since i was 10) but one of my strongest memories of venice beach is biking on a slippery sandy bike path when someone walking their dogs with no leash decides to let their dogs cross the bike path at that moment causing me to eat pavement to avoid hitting a dog

i've tried it a few times while visiting LA, i have a pretty positive impression of it atm from how well it dealt with some of the crap that happened on the road (mostly involving cars doing unexpected maneuvers at 999mph and dudes walking onto the road)
