What is this sorcery? Wouldn’t this cause issues with internal clock and stuff?

One sensible right doesn’t overweight the never-ending bullshit coming from them.

True. Between the private healthcare, abortion rights, school shootings…

Oh wait, you weren’t talking about the US?

And so do colleges. If they don’t want to invest $2000 every 5/6 years for a hundred dumpster windows 95 PCs it shouldn’t be the paying student to suffer.

Can anyone remind me of Matt Gaetz’s stance on BLM protests? Judging by this affirmation he must’ve loved them right?

…then why can’t you do that with a school laptop that can’t access the web…?

In modern times it might not matter (or rather, it matters less, refugees still have to move to the closest country and distance by sea does matter), but it mattered in the past and they grew up as a very isolated society (which in turn had them spawn those laws you’re talking about).

It’s just one of many genres/subgenres that has one groundbreaking game/saga as origin and all the games that took inspiration from it, like Metroidvania or Soulslike. Just creating a new term for each of them would make initial discussions much weirder, although it would probably be clearer later on (nowadays most people that know what a Roguelike is don’t even know “Rogue” is an actual game)

Oh lol. Then yeah, I think we pretty much agree.

What about Roguelikes? Wikipedia lists it as a subgenre of RPGs but I’m not sure if I’d consider them as such.

Good. Fuck Blizzard and their greedy, sexual assaulting, China-pandering asses.

I can imagine not considering the first Dragon Quest an RPG would create a lot of discussion, I can’t really speak for that since I haven’t played it but I guess some of the “canons” must’ve been missing since it used a password system.

Would Dark Souls count as an RPG in your definition? There’s no definite classes but you’re definitely shaping up your character to be a Warrior, Mage, and so on.

Define “harass”. LoL and Fortnite don’t “harass” you into giving recurring payments. You can make f2p-friendly games, especially on pc, if you want. Blizzard just doesn’t want.

It depends on what metrics do you use. In general, lowest-rated stuff on sites are not the worst by objective terms, but because of propaganda or other stuff that pisses off people.

What’s your definition, out of curiosity?

Personally my first thought hearing “RPG” is the classic game with various characters, skills, level system and tons of enemies, but there’s a lot of games that don’t fit this definition that are still RPGs

I don’t think it’s that worse than other countries tbh. It’s amplified by the fact that it’s an island so foreigners are scarce and a lot of them are there for weeb tourism and may not be the best to interact with, but racism is a constant in most countries all around the world.

They do need to acknowledge their war crimes though, sure. I agree Nationalism is definitely a bigger issue in Japan than in most other countries.

Eh, there’s different schools of thought. Artists like Junji Ito or Kabi Nagata make stuff very different from the usual manga, but they’re still called “manga”. In the same way, Radiant isn’t considered a manga by many even though it’s so close to the actual ones it even got an anime.

Because it’s a way to distinguish them. In Italy, we also call American comics “comics” (instead of the Italian word for comics) for example.

First arc from the manga was fucking wild.

Following arcs are way better in plot and everything, but the first one has a lot of stuff you wouldn’t expect from an official Pokémon product.

Well, then you just watch the good ones. It’s been ages since TV Shows (and anime) got popular, there’s stuff like Breaking Bad or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood that are tried and tested and almost everyone likes. There’s personal taste too, sure, but I think it’s hard to find someone that doesn’t like a single genre that has at least 3/4 classic acclaimed shows.

And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don’t understand its popularity.

Porn/Comics/TV Series are popular. They’re just variants of those, not really that hard to understand.

Holy shit you’re right. And since the Bible was published before 1700, I guess it would be even more accurate to say a vampire is a reverse-Jesus…?
