  • Apparently people are quite divided over the new English "Like a Dragon" dub, at least the snips released before the new game's out.
    I'm not a big LaD/Yakuza fan, but personally it sounds pretty alright; definitely more understandable than the JPN-only state every previous game had.

    I've tried Yakuza games before (0 and 4, from memory), yet the incomprehensible 'gibberish' coming from everyone's mouths took me right out of the experience, as I could not connect with them. Sure, it makes sense logically, but...

    ...suspension of disbelief is a powerful thing so everyone "talking" English also makes sense, to allow me in. Like how in MGS3 everyone's actually speaking Russian but the dub's in English so the player isn't left out.

    This new English dub WILL draw more people in, people who don't like not understanding vocals, so why the divide? It's not like they're removing the JPN option and making it pure ENG, so if you're accustomed to the mismatch of dub/subs there's no loss - it doesn't matter for you, but it certainly does for others like me.
    I have zero sympathy for smokers - not only are they committing protracted suicide, and in a very painful way, but their noxious smoke also affects me, a bystander with a family history of asthma. Stop poisoning me, and I might give a damn about you, but until you do you can screw right off.

    If you "must" smoke, go do it in a special smoking area well away from us non-smokers.
    Don't fucking smoke on the sidewalk, jackasses, where us non-smokers are guaranteed to breathe in your toxic refuse. Or at bus stops, completely ignoring the "Do Not Smoke" signs.
    They don't give us sympathy, so I don't give them sympathy in turn.
    Laptops > desktops, IMO. Come prebuilt instead of needing assembly (don't know how to do that), portable, smaller form factor (no box near my feet or on my desk), and comes with own screen instead of needing a separate monitor (so I can watch/search stuff whilst playing on Switch).

    I don't even use Ethernet (don't think I've got a wall-port for that here); I use Wi-Fi, which is more than fast enough for me, considering I don't do multiplayer at all - so that's one less cable.
    Otherwise, I fully agree with all 9 of your replies, Sono.

    Sorry for the spam, blame the character limit :wacko:

    I said Ethernet because WiFi was bugged at my previous workplace, so I had to plug in the PC physically in order to access the internal network. Forgot that it might work elsewhere just fine :rofl2:

    Also, I apparently missed the "I don't care" part, yet I wrote this wall of text. I'm sorry >.<

    Am I weird for thinking of breasts when I read "Perky Little Things"? Do I need help, for having a filthy mind?

    Nah, this is normal. I think about them in almost everything I read (and even if I don't read): whether it's small or big things.😅
    I am afraid that this will be of no consolation to you.🤣

    Why is Fire Emblem Engage giving me "could not start software", when it was working perfectly fine last night? Tried deleting and reinstalling it; tried deleting my cheat toggle.txt - neither worked.
    I'm playing Twilight Princess HD again, after finishing TotK and it being a few years since I last played TPHD, and...oh Hylia, THIS is why I love Legend of Zelda.

    It's a shame this was the last true traditional Zelda - a GameCube game.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Twilight Princess has amazing dungeons, and despite models now looking quite angular (which can be forgiven, considering it's a GC game at its core) it still looks wonderful - all the detail given to the environments and characters. It's so refreshing to go back to LoZ's highs after how abysmal BotW and TotK are.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Lakebed Temple is everything the so-called "Water Temple" in TotK, and the water-elephant Divine Beast in BotW, aren't - solidly designed, gorgeous, a little confusing but not overly so, with a unique (but gross) miniboss and a dungeon item. It's also got actual history, being an old Zora temple that monsters took over.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Midna's great, too - she's well-written, for a Zelda companion, and has an actual arc that's followed as the game progresses instead of just being optional flashbacks.
    BotW/TotK Zelda has nothing on Midna here; I cared nothing for that Zelda, while I want to help Midna.
    WELL - I ordered an Australiana pizza for dinner (BBQ sauce base, ham, bacon, egg), and ate half of it, as usual, leaving the box with the other half on the kitchen bench.
    Whilst I was upstairs eating, my old dog managed to knock down my box and take the other four slices outside. He licked away all the toppings, leaving the bare bread.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Dagnabbit dog. I really hope you don't get sick tonight from all that - because it'd be me who'd have to clean it up...
    And I guess I'm down half a pizza. Oh well; I've got enough for brekkie and lunch anyway, tomorrow.
    RichardTheKing

    And it's not like my dog's left to starve, either - he's always got dry food out throughout the day, and he gets damn good meat for dinner too. Opportunistic greedyguts.
    I'm using Switch Atmosphere, and I installed the N64 Switch Online app via NSPs and Tinfoil yesterday; however, whenever I try to launch a game, it hangs before crashing. How can I fix that?

    Just finished TotK's Fire Temple.
    It's better than the straightforward and bland Water Temple, but I'm noticing a pattern - all Temples seem to involve activating a number of devices using the Sage-to-be's ability. Quite unimaginative, considering what LoZ dungeons USED to be.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Back with the GOOD formula, each dungeon was unique, having not just its own theming, but also its own puzzles and solutions - you could never predict what was coming next, and even on replays it was a nice change. You weren't doing the same thing over and over.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Here in TotK? That's exactly the case - doing the same thing over and over, with not even a miniboss or map or compass or dungeon item to be found. YAWN.
    ...Oh, how I wish TP/TWW HD was on the Switch...or MM, for that matter.
    Just received a booklet about the 2023 Aussie Referendum, to add an "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice" to the Constitution - why? We don't know who'll be on it, or what the effects of this permanent action will be, and we certainly don't need more bureaucracy or even more divide between people.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    If we had actual fucking details about this "Voice" group, then maybe I'd view it more positively, but so far...no thanks. We already recognise the Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders, very much so; we don't need this massive, permanent, mysterious group potentially wrecking things. It's far too risky as it currently stands.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    (We recognise them before every big work meeting or school assembly, by 'recognising Elders past, present and coming' and 'we stand on X region land' - not the exact wording, of course, but close enough. Not to mention National Sorry Day in May, every year, and other efforts)
    Can you mod games on a Steam Deck or ROG Ally? Do either of them support Cheat Engine or WeMod?

    They're both basically just PCs, so yes!

    If you can do something on Windows, you can do it on the Ally. Same for the Deck in terms of Linux, though I'm not certain if non-workshop mods work out of the box with the Deck's game mode thing. You can definitely do it from the desktop side though.

    I don't really see the appeal of "grass-touching"; in my experience, grass can be itchy and uncomfortable, and cut grass *reeks* something awful. Also risk of ants.

    Nah, man, I'd rather be indoors, thanks.
    Animal Crossing: New Leaf >>> New Horizons.
    Why is Nintendo so keen on making new entries *lesser* than previous ones? AC, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Switch Online compared to Virtual Console...even Xenoblade Chronicles.

    I'm honestly curious - why do (mainly but not exclusively) women like having long, often pointy, nails? Don't those things get in the way and frustrate you?
    If the answer is "they look good"...err, taste is subjective, but no they don't? Not at all?

    A considerably younger me once picked up a sibling from a friend's house, there the older sister (then in her 20s) was noting that having worn high heels for so long her tendons had shrunk to the point where flat shoes were no longer an option... I already viewed fashion with suspicion but that day cemented it.

    They look nice I dunno... also function as a backup screwdriver and you can work with tape easier. Having pointy nails or just slightly too long nails in general is annoying though because you can't make a fist or type easily or hold VR controllers safely or anything

    I'll let my nails grow for 2 weeks, sometimes 3, but there's eventually a point around then where your nails get too long and very quickly become much more of a negative than a positive
