Fire Emblem was the only 3DS game I actually bought digitally since it was impossible to find a release day physical copy. Sorry.
moon
i didn't know you could digitally buy 3ds games
Anno
Yeah, the Nintendo estore has most of the big-name releases from the last few years, I believe. I think you can also get a lot of indie and small-name releases digitally-only too.
the best storyline is the one that makes me forget about killing myselves

>>317516 the wallpaper on the left is great the one on the right is well drawn but i'm the kind of person who is heavily effected by my surroundings so i like to keep it comfy
>>317524 Fewer unit types, less character customization. The maps are hit and miss compared to FEF. Less map gimmicks, but one may find that to be a good thing.
On the plus sie magic is more balanced greater diversity in unit attack range is interesting the split party stuff is good.

>>317536 Also basically every Roxy Music album cover has half naked women on them
My family was talking over dinner about my dad's extended family and how it's not very large because his dad lost/lost contact with his family when he fled Poland during Nazi occupation. My dad had gotten to the part of the story where my great-grandfather got shot by invading Nazis "because they were trying to keep able-bodied Poles from being able to fight back", when my sister, a history major and in general obnoxious know-it-all, started saying how he was wrong and that the Nazis were only shooting Polish Jews and such. How we've got the primary sources and it shows that it isn't right. My dad retorted with "yeah well I've also got a primary source, my dad was there when they invaded" and she got really hysterical about how "wer'e always like this" and was getting really pissy that we weren't just taking our word for it. Her word for it, even. My mother even tried to explain to her how history is always written from certain viewpoints and you can never be truly sure that you have the accurate account, but by now my sister was having none of it and just stormed off from the dinner table.
>>317554 I seriously always have a short chuckle when I hear the "6 million" what six million? it was like 11 millions if not more you just fucking wiped off every non jew that was killed in the camps
Kirara🎃
>>317551 wow that's really ridiculous and completely wrong
FormerRei@mobile
>>317555 As a proportion of population, the six million Jews comprised a larger percentage of the global Jewish population than any of the other groups did of their respective populations. Also people who say only Jews were killed in concentration camps are idiots or liars.
>>317557 Whatsoever, the point here is that people always say "six million died in the camps" not "six million jews" they just say "six million" or whatever number when the actual numbers are way higher they just arbitratily wipe out every one else off their list and that irks me
Anno
Any way the point of that story is that my sister can be a real piece of shit at times and I just wanted to bitch about it. I'll be happy once she's off reading week and back out of the city.
I seriously sometimes think you actually lack a human brain
FormerRei@mobile
>>317567 Since you appear to be incapable of telling the difference between regular war deaths and a facility designed to torture, starve and ultimately kill its inhabitants in an assembly line like manner I could say the same about you.
>>317568 You don't seem to get the point sure jews were more systemically and were the first victims of the death machine but a death is in the end a death I find it just annoying thato ne group, sure it did affect them more than the others, is raised above the rest like some sacred number or something to the altar of "you are evil and should forver feel shame" to the point that people say "they killed 6 million in the camps" and forget that the actual numbers are about twice that and they just wipe off the other 6 million non special people because whatever reasons or just forget a lot more innocent civilians, not even conscripted soldiers died at less horrible ways, but still DIED dead is dead and nothing changes that
Dark Angel Olivia confirmed for granblue so rev up your wallets >>317597 yeah >>317599 I like Verniy because I like the design and stuff, not for that bit of lore
looking back at this shit gives me good perspective on how the latest girl in my life really treated me like shit like a fucking dog like a mangy mutt that begs for scraps at the junkyard and i used to have THIS girl, god damn iit

im cringing at that for some reason something about it makes me cringe so hard
>>317632 Plenty of people do things in private settings that would be considered cringey in other settings. For example the term "dance like nobody's watching" has its origin in that phenomenon.

why would the second one surprise you? it's mobage

I just don't get why all these pseudosingle player games require a constant connection. Most of them aren't real mmo's, you should be able to like download the dailies or whatever and then play the game and upload your progress.

>play unconnected >hackxzorsd XD >reconnect with correct packets to say you earned it(tm) >top of leaderboards
>>317687 to you maybe a lot of players continue playing because of leaderboards, and continued play is what makes the money you have to remember that video games are not made by people like you and me they're made by people who do this for a living they know what they're doing
>>317688 >>317689 Okay, so we are done pretending that mobage aren't glorified skinner boxes then? Also indie games aren't always designed with predatory features in mind.

>>317690 >are we done pretending that.... whatever you're going to finish that with you're on /moe/ so probably not

ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT RIKA-SAMA SAID DURING THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2017 THAT SHE DOESN'T LIKE MODERN MMOS BECAUSE THEY ARE SKINNER BOXES
>>317718 I was actually using gambling as an example of another unethical similar thing.
moon
i'm on bang's side scrabble is an outdated and fuckin garbage game
bangu
>>317715 and so is smoking meth but see here's the thing about smoking meth fucking meth heads do it and people addicted to gambling also chose that life people who make bad decisions DO NOT DESERVE to be victimized they are the problem in the first place
alcoholics, gambling addicts, nymphos, junkies while the systems that allow them may not be perfect, that does not mean they themselves were incapable of resisting temptation
FormerRei@mobile
>>317725 Would you say tthe same thing about alcoholism and opioid addictions? Oh >>317730
bangu
absolutely i would now there are cases where people are forced one way or the other into very difficult situations an example would be all the doctors that prescribe higher-than-necessary opioid prescriptions but that still does not fully pull the blame from the user if they do not have the willpower to help themselves
moon
>>317730 i think it's a little naive to call it temptation i do know where you're coming from but i think that's bad messaging
FormerRei@mobile
>>317732 Don't forget the drug companies who lied to the doctors about the chances of the drugs being habit forming in the first place.
Maria
quitting drugs with physical symptomns arising from withdawls is probably harder than quitting gambling
bangu
>>317733 because a priest might use the same word? the word is right
Kirara🎃
people who have never experienced addiction have no room to talk about it tbh
moon
>>317736 i mean that it's not temptation that motivates people to continue such things, it's usually the functionality that provides for their family it's not as though they're abandoning a pure clean life for temptation, it's usually a tough choice between accomodating your family by making it through another month of work even though you're suffering or abandoning them and not being able to provide
bangu
i have experienced addiction and am currently experiencing it but i've also turned down plenty of much worse things than my current vices despite social pressures and emotional pressure now i understand that other people may not have it as easy doing so but not all men were created equal and not all lives get to be happy ones some people have to try harder to be happy than others and that's just how it is i've had to try pretty damn hard myself, and some people might have to try harder some of those people might fail where i wouldn't have and some might not where i would've that's life
>>317741 Talking about addiction from a somewhat uninformed "you need better will power" perspective.
moon
>>317739 that is how it is, yeah, and i have to take anxiety meds to do what you're able to do that doesn't mean i'm craving and caving into temptation and letting go of responsibility to satisfy myself it means i'm taking my drugs to perform on the level i need to to sustain and that's how most people end up with opiate addictions in the first place
bangu
>>317743 that's good then there's nothing wrong with that you are misunderstanding it entirely if you are suffering because you're taking something you shouldn't, that is abuse if you're using it as intended to success, then you're not the problem
Kirara🎃
>>317742 i wasn't directing that post at bang although I don't necessarily agree with him fully
FormerRei@mobile
Also nymphomania is an actual medical condition. So don't blame that on lack of willpower. That's kind of like telling someone with depression to just get over it by trying harder.
moon
>>317744 the world is cruel enough to allow those that abuse the exclusive right to succeed over their peers who don't though
moon
i'm not in that category but i come from a family that does
Kirara🎃
>>317746 are you implying that alcoholism or whatever aren't medical conditions
>>317746 the thing is, someone with depression may very well need to get over it by trying harder now if they're depressed because they got bonked on the head the wrong way that sucks but that's it just sucks man
moon
>>317752 "trying harder" is a super normie term for people who still think things are in people's hands
>>317756 it means i'm logistically and physically not capable of trying harder than i am
bangu
i was literally manically depressed for years suicidal and antisocial and then when i got a job the first time at moonie's, i sat down with myself and had a talk and said i'm going to fucking get somewhere and i did i'm not everyone but i didn't say everyone needs to try harder i said some people
moon
>>317758 that's what you were capable of doing dude what don't you get what if someone came and told you that you sold yourself short there because you could have done more you know it took everything to do it
Maria
Just because your depression had more concrete causes doesn't mean everyone's does
bangu
>>317759 I am that someone, and i very well could have done better i know that everyone can always do better but i accept things as they are and only seek improvement
FormerRei@mobile
>>317758 Just for reference, you are aware that clinical depression is caused by for lacl of a better term "brain problems" right?
Anyways bang, my point is that mind over matter just can't work because in the end your mind is in your brain which physically exists and can be influenced by all sorts of different things such aas chemical imbalances or structural issues (malformed lobes, missing connections etc).
bangu
anyways man, my point isn't going to get across and i'm just as sure of my convictions as you are so there's really no point
>>317789 i get your convictions and i'm not being sarcastic i was intentionally being inflammatory to invoke this response in you because it's probably more meaningful
bangu
>>317788 mind over matter can work not all minds are equal though, and some people are stronger or weaker than others shit sucks man
doing what we feel like doing is fair and appropriate and if i dont feel like doing that i think that's just fine everyone else here does what they want

Anno
>>317906 From a technical perspective the game is a blast. Setting up logistical systems is a pretty rewarding feedback loop. But visually the game is pretty bad. It seems to have gotten better with some hi-res graphical touch-ups in more recent updates, but it's still kind of gritty.

well first they moved to florida then arizona then florida then arizona then tennessee then florida then arizona then texas well actually i probably have the order wrong but basically my mom's family lives in arizona and my dad's family lives in florida and my parents moved around like fucking crazy for no real reason until i was in middle school and then we stuck in Austin because it's just such a great place it really is >>317960 my dad joined up right before the age cutoff but that wasn't until after we'd settled in Texas i don't really know why we moved so much lack of money was often a factor we stayed with family a lot my dad had trouble finding work because he didn't have an american high school education and the marine mechanics school he attended fucked him over when he was still an illegal eventually we had it good but then when the market crashed in 2007 we lost a LOT of money in real estate then we collapsed as a family unit and i tried to die and it was a shitshow until i graduated high school and a year later got a job now it's great everything's cool now me and my dad are going shooting on veteran's day

In HS I studied French but only because I had to and I paid no attention and quit when I got the oppurtunity
For a while I self studied Japanese and still sorta do but I never got particularly good at it Like the most complex thing I could do was read Yuru Yuri raw except I had to constantly go to Jisho At one point I found an old Japanese lady who liked talking about Gundam and VOTOMS and stuff though so that was col

FormerRei@mobile
>>318008 Yeah Four years of Japanese at my highschool and then an intense study regimen will get you JPLT 3. like two years would get you ready for jplt 4 though

it's alright someone's social circle is just a petty thing people don't need actual friends to survive
Although actually it might be scaled differently so that its not actually Like The grades are measured differently in the first place or something
FormerRei@mobile
Wait Is it on a bell curve?
FormerRei@mobile
Cause that would make sense.
FormerRei@mobile
In which case having a C doesn't mean you only know 50% of the content, but it does mean you ought to retake probability and statistics.
Maria
It's literally marked So if you get half the points available in a course You get a C-
If you get 75% of points available it's a B+
It's pretty much easymode which is great if you're a lazy piece of shit like me

FormerRei@mobile
>>318072 I should transfer to a school in NZ, post conversion my GPA woukd be stellar
FormerRei@mobile
>>318072 Technically 60% But that's still bad C is 70% and considered average. B is 80% A is 90% F is less than 60% D is 60%
>>318079 wow I would have been kicked out years ago
FormerRei@mobile
You would be kicked out if you only got Ds though
FormerRei@mobile
On a percentage scale my gpa would be about 73% And that's considered pretty bad But not terrible Although a lot of my bad grades are due to health issues but i don't feel like getting into that right now
FormerRei@mobile
Also thanks for letting me know all of this. Now I know to be highly suspicious of the competence of any professional I ever meet who got their degree in New Zealand.
Maria
>>318083 Just remember that if you hear anyone from NZ say they have a B average they actually have a C average
>>318124 I agree. I'm not sure if robot arms would be as precise as my human arms and fingers With legs I'd be able to run and jump super fast And I could kick people
>>318126 Generally Let's assume it's superior in all ways and you can control it with as much finesse as possible
Being able to open stuff more easily would be nice too
Maria
>>318128 Yeah that'd actually be pretty cool Although I don't think it takes that much mental effort to program your arm on the fly But I guess if you had to like, repeatedly push a button, it'd be pretty useful Or if you could somehow set your robot parts to autopilot while driving
I'd imagine it'd be like "start recording" And you do the action, a few times maybe so it learns what sorta things to consider when applying force and stuff
One problem would be the lack of human skin though Human skin is really impressive, it can act both as a smooth surface and have a lot of friction depending on the force applied
Maria
>>318130 What if we put something like human skin on the arm to cover the metal It'd need replacing as it gets worn down though
sk
The fingers would be the most important, but yeah something like that could work Since it's not biological, it could be like gloves or something you put on and replace when they wear out
>>318132 Dude that'd be sick Imagine someone tries mugging you and they stab your hand and it just clangs off the metal, and then you smugly pull off the glove and smack them in the head with your robot hand

>>318169 nice did you hear that the church of satan is cops?
Maria
>>318170 They are? Perhaps the same could be said of all religions
Kirara🎃
>>318171 yeah church of satan was talking on Twitter about how they work with law enforcement and believe in a strict hierarchy and also believe law and order are the most important thing
Maria
>>318172 I thought Satanism was supposed to be about imposing your own will and morals through individualism, passion, and strength
This sounds like watered down satanism
Maria
If you're working within the framework that God is real, why would you support satan and not God? You know God's gonna win every time. Might as well pick the winning side.

>>318186 i looked it up and found out that it's a bad idea for a daily item due to the amount of salt and nitrates, but i just give it to her once in a while as a treat, so it's probably fine.
If you're ever in a position where you admit to a non-satanist that you're a satanist, I think you're using the label wrong tbh Devil worship is cool and all, and that's why 'satanism' even has status to begin with, so when you pretend to be one openly, you're just misusing it An actual devil worshipper wouldn't be candid about it They're like Jehova's witnesses, it's not open to any and all
Kirara🎃
yeah, devil woeshippers should be like evil cultists scurrying around behind the scenes doing evil shit and sacrifices and shit
What part of their WHY are they even called satanists? Like why did they, according to themselves, choose that label?
I mean I know it's because that's a good way to go "Hhhehe I'm a satanist, wanna talk to me? It's edgy and cool right, maybe a little scary?" But you can't just say that on the website
I don't care either way really, it's just weird to me, though I mean I guess I get the connotations But it's always kinda just meant a cis, crossdressing guy Who also passes
>>318230 probably so he can go in public while he's sick and not get everyone else fucked up >>318228 that looks like an embarrassing thing your grandma made you
Oh yeah they're selling these breathing appartatuses too now So we don't gotta fix pollution, we just gotta buy these things and watch everything crumble around our ivory towers

Doesn't really surprise their empire was funded purely by silver and gold ferried from the new world if something happened to the shipments, or they were too small taht year they practically were bankrupt A real way to build a national economy, aye?
But I still don't understand the catalonian vs spanish conflict it feels so generated or was that how franco kept his power united the rest by their hatred of a minority?
well, yeah, spain is extremely racist against catalonians if you look at madrid right now, people are doing nazi salutes and advocating more violence against the catalonians a few years ago, a pro-independence monument in catalonia was defaced with swastikas for years, the very language that catalan speak was banned
This reminds me of a talk I had with my uncle when he asked about my future plans I did drop I might get a political science or whatever degree and seek state employment eventually become the shaodw cabinet he started asking me about some topical questions like about catalonia then it turned into conversation about the rise of right and such in europe and then I first got worried when he was "da nazies are rising" but then he dropped "but the commies worry me as much" man he was woke
