  • I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

    …just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex sometimes. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.












  • Loving all of the Odd Taxi mentions.

    • Planetes (sofa king good)
    • Hellsing
    • Area 88
    • Genshiken (adults but college setting)
    • Read or Die
    • Gundam 08th MS Team
    • Excel Saga (the main cast are all adults, but it’s a comedy and just about everyone is an idiot, so they won’t necessarily act like adults)
    • Gintama (main character is an adult, his sidekicks are not, but the majority of the cast is adult. Again, comedy, so maybe not “adult” enough lol)
    • Cowboy Bebop
    • Way of the Househusband
    • Gundam Thunderbolt

    From my spouse:

    • Servant x Service

    Not sure if it’s considered true anime, but Castlevania on Netflix was excellent.








  • I sunk so many hours into Capcom vs SNK 2 on PS2 that it’s possible I might have even been almost competent. Then again, I did main Ken, soooooo… maybe not.

    I like the idea of the Suikoden remasters but I know I don’t have the kind of time or attention span needed anymore. Those games are beastly. Though… I do wonder if you can still push the one gate out of the way in S2 and access a much later area. I have some fond memories of making the mad dash to town to get a save point, then barely surviving one or two fights in order to get a massive level boost. Did it trivialize the combat for most of the game? Yes. Did I have fun on my 3rd or 4th playthrough? Also yes.


  • the game is just too hungry to run properly on Switch except for small, quick games, and those game styles just don’t feel like Civ to me.

    I’m hoping the eventual Switch successor helps with that. I stayed up all night playing when I first got it and have barely touched it since.

    So far as small, “quick” games go, I’m a bit bummed that they abandoned the Civ Revolution format. The PS3/360 version was solid if flawed, and felt smooth enough even at endgame. The mobile and DS versions, however, were a Jenga tower of jank. It’s like if you asked an LLM to write a Civ game and the only parameter was “ugh.”
