Seriously mate, you didn't warn about the TVTropes link? Some of us need to go to bed!

Hey mate, I'm doing a quick response rn and will return at some point to properly write up a lengthier response!

The claw can happen in Frontier if you're running the default controls - I've been playing in Portable mode though, which uses the Tri Classic Controller scheme, although my experience was it's a pain in the backside to figure out how to change the controls if you're not used to Freedom Unite's menus (Frontier was based on Dos)

As for the variety, Frontier boasts something like 188 unique monsters including subspecies, rare species and other variants. Each of these has their weapons (to no one's surprise). In addition there are two unique weapon classes that haven't appeared in any other games - the Tonfas which are basically very short dual blades that punch and give air time, unique buffs and a powered-up explosive attack, (think a proto-Insect Glaive), and the Magnet Spike which is the most unbalanced thing I have ever had the pleasure of using in a video game - it simply melts most G Rank monsters. Further, the game has an extra layer of difficulty above G Rank called "Zenith" which includes fifteen unique variants of existing monsters, which has similarities with Deviants from GU. If Frontier does appeal to you, I recommend you track down PewPewDojo's discord, they can get you set up with a private server.

Can relate to your comments about GU, it's a massive game and honestly even after playing it for nearly four hundred hours over the span of the last five years I'm still discovering new stuff.

I've always been intrigued by Wild Hearts tbh, never had the chance though (it came out during my thesis and just kinda slipped by). I really do need to try it though.

Indeed! I was shocked too when I found out - turns out their fur is light enough that it acts as insulation against both heat and cold, which is impressive. That's why they don't drink much water straight up - they evolved to pull moisture from their food instead

Alas mate, that three months is dangerous for both people and animals. When it comes down to it, having one quarter of the year being unlivable is not remotely reasonable.

Glad though you have your investment property properly set up for all seasons, imo that should be the standard across Australia, not the exception.

Not me wondering why aircons aren't minimum standards for all rentals. Cat threw up four times last night because she just can't cope.

When the cat can't cope, there's a big fucking problem - they're desert animals!

Hello fellow Monster Hunter! Similar experience, but it gets worse as someone who really likes Monster Hunter Frontier - because not even die-hard classic MH players will touch it, because of the perception that it's "too anime". It's sad, because honestly it's a great time, no other game in the series has Frontier's level of variety.

How I hate Melbourne housing. Genuinely debating chucking a sickie today from the lack of sleep

Sure, if Splatoon 3 were actually good. It's a game designed from the ground up to be frustrating, between terrible matchmaking, peer-to-peer multiplayer, and stage design that forces players into very lopsided combat.

Play something good with your family, not Splatoon 3.

Can't concentrate at work, and so stressed that food doesn't seem friendly.

But maybe things will work out this evening. Either that, or it'll get much worse. Definitely feeling at a crossroads.

That's appreciated, thank you

Thank you, I will

Another night, another fight. I'm almost 100% certain this one wasn't my fault.

Fellow lemmyers (Lemmings?), who the hell do I talk to about problems in my relationship? I can't talk to her about it, because it seems to start fights the second I bring a concern up, and I can't afford therapy right now. I don't want to drag a friend or a coworker into this shit.

To preface, breaking up is not on the table for a fucktonne of different reasons. I believe she will get better, she's just really stressed lately.

I really appreciate that mate, thank you.

Relationship trouble with my partner, mostly. There's a lot of story behind that. Insecure housing isn't helping, nor is cost of living nor anxiety.

Some amount of it is definitely my own damn fault, but yeah, shitty.

Good point mate, thank you

Hey all.

Any suggestions on cheap ways to improve mental health as a young person working full-time?

It's been pretty shot lately, for all sorts of reasons.

Ended up pulling out a book because sleep is for the people with air cons.

Turns out Touched by an Angel (ten year old Doctor Who novel) still holds up, and actually is better than I remembered. Who knew?

Mate, can I move in with you? That is literally my ideal environment

Very envious of the air con, bedroom is much hotter than outside, and all I've got are fans. Can't call in sick tomorrow either, some rather important paperwork needs to happen tomorrow.

Can't sleep, clown'll eat me.
