ngl the pyjamas are weirding me out

Well the original simplicity certainly has its charme. E33 leans a bit too much into git-gud-territory for my taste (cheers for the patched easy mode).

I interpreted those as buffs, but didn’t play nearly enough JRPGs to judge the novelty of this mechanic.

I hate offscreen content that’s not indicated by a scrollbar. And the worst thing is some fancily animated presentation that uses the hidden scrollbar as a seek bar.

this idiom has been coined by a man 100%

I don’t think I’m on the AHDH spectrum but coffeine still does nothing for me.

I always thought it was the alcohol. Anyway, not being able to sleep is the worst thing about dancing out.

I do prefer it for games with stat-based combat. Pokémon, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Baldur’s Gate 3, Pillars of Eternity, Into The Breach

Looking at the end game design of E33 I believe that the devs also thought combat would be more relevant, but in the end I only stayed for the plot (and looked up plot threads hidden behind hours of end game grind in longplays). I enjoyed BG3’s grounded approach more.

You mean the parrying which they borrowed from Super Mario RPG / Paper Mario?

Never really did, I remember two occasions but only for one the actual costume.

practical effects are so much cooler

is saying black in Spanish derogatory language?

what’s referencing this?
