Alas, it seems there are no winners anymore. Just sides. I don't suspect this will end well for Iran in the long term.

Just playing with textures and lines. Poorly grouted tiles in a warehouse. Wish I had a batter camera haha.

Very possible. But wanted to presume bad coding over outright falsification.

Scrolling through the list. The timestamps are too regular, meaning it is interpreting a lot of ambient noise as music.

Joke's on you! I am God.

I applaud your dedication to form

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, that's a good option perhaps. I grabbed em recent because of a steam sale, but never played them before. Appreciate the rec :)

I've never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)

I've played all the old school Square and Enix stuff. FF6 is my goat.

Sure. Tales games tend to be high fantasy settings where each game is its own setting (much like Final Fantasy in that sense). They tend to have a lot of "war against heaven corrupted" kind of vibes. But largely there's a lot of places to explore, NPCs to talk to, and a bunch of great little skits that trigger between your team. They tend to be lighter on graphics in exchange for length and depth of story. But it's also somewhat linear, and carefully crafted and you can sort of lose yourself in finding the next story beat.

But they also typically have active combat systems where it's about button mashing and combos. This is the part I don't like :)

No! I've heard it is quite the investment if you want to start at the beginning. Is there a later jumping in point that works well, in your opinion?

 

Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I'm looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat.

For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin.

Graphics don't matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?

 

She is ignoring the birding book in favour of Lord of the Rings. Nerd.

 

Clearly she wants me to read Lord of the Rings

 
 
 

So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome.

It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow.

Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)
