Finished Breath of Fire!

And boy what a slog to fight Zog! The game has not aged well, and carries itself like a professionally made RPGMaker game. It was released in '93, of year before the best RPG ever made (Final Fantasy VI) pivoted the genre to new horizons, so it's still a part of the "Dragon Quest clone" category of RPGs. That isn't to say it's a bad RPG (like Niji No Silk Road or Ganbare Goemon Gaiden), and it does some very interesting things with a limited amount of resources. However, it remains a "press A to win" kind of RPG in most cases, and the backtracking necessary to finish the game would be extremely frustrating without a walkthrough (the game is sparse on plot progression clues). One thing that intrigued me that I haven't seen done before: one boss's weaknesses would fluctuated between physical attacks and magic attacks depending on how many times you hit him with each (more magic attacks made him stronger to magic but weaker to physical hits and vice versa) and his appearance changed accordingly. That's a neat idea, and should be implemented/explored more often in RPGs.

Visually, the game was very pretty, but very vanilla. The soundtrack was varied, but lacked anything particularly rockin'. Any fan of older Capcom games will appreciate the nods to and inspiration from MegaMan and Makaimura littered throughout the game in enemy and character designs and in scenery.

Overall, very mediocre and typical of an RPG made by a dev specializing in action games. In that respect, it's reminiscent of Ganbare Goemon Gaiden and Lagrange Point by Konami, but more fun and less frustrating than either of those games. 5/10, only recommended for diehard fans of RPGs made between '85 and '93.

@SuperSnekFriend @Turkleton > "pro-life" faggots

So, are you anti-pro-life or do you merely disagree with the cucks who spout the rhetoric you mentioned (i.e. using Nazis for comparison to abortionists)?

@sun that's the proper way to raise kids. Kids are smart, and only people who should reconsider their approach to parenthood think and act otherwise.

Anyone have that video of the Russian PSA spoof about the 2060 olympics being called the "Faglympics"?

The lie of ethnonationalism is that racial homogeneity eliminates conflict and suffering.

Was just explaining this to someone irl. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing is a test run for a blackout or cyber attack or something.

@lain @augustus this is a major soapbox topic for me. Christians have such a rich history in literature, music, and the arts in general, but most of that treasury is kept from Christendom by Jews and heretical/legalistic ideologies. It's such a shame when parents even forbid their children to read stuff like Tolkien and Lewis because "magic" and "witches".

Don't get me started.
