What are you playing?

Talk about the life consuming, celibacy inducing hobby that is all the rage these days.

There was a fun bit in Outcast where some Dark Jedi asshole dropped me from 100% health and shields to basically single digits with a single overhead slash straight through the torso. Dayum.

The Old EU writers are to blame, they decided that Luke went retarded and decided "Oh the Dark Side isn'tactually bad it's how you use it that makes it evil" that and allowing relationships ended back firing when a hac writer made one of his nephews into a Sith Lord and other hack writer made him that cause another civil war
I wonder if he made PR holovids for the Good Dark Side.

The road to Jar-Jar is paved with good intentions...

Another day, another lament for the lack of good beat em ups.

JoJo is practically begging for a decent one. We have that eyes of heaven shit but it looks terrible.

I'm still enjoying ken's rage, I just always wish for more of these. Shounen is a massive genre in niplandia, but meanwhile beat em ups are almost dead.

What are most shounen about? Punching dudes. What are all beat em ups about? Punching dudes.

But contemporary shounen love wasting time by having the combatants explain their special snowflake powers to each other and indulge in one-sided curbstomp battles where the bloke getting curbstomped switches with each asspull, until one guy runs out of asspulls and just explodes (except he probably survived). Some fights don't even involve punches at all.

I mean, this is basically 85% of all Bleach fights:
"You cannot escape my SUPER attack!"
"Fool! Nothing gets past my MEGA shield!
"Ah-ha! I just so happen to know a secret ULTRA technique that can break MEGA shields!"
"Hahaha! Breaking my shield is exactly what I wanted! Now I have becom a GOD!"
"Turns out my sword can kill gods."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Fuck."
Sounds more like some weird kind of turn-based RPG.

I have no fucking idea.

I used to play that game to unwind after my day. It was relaxing because the game is entirely brainless. I would put on some shitty youtube vlogs or music and listen to that while following my map pointer. That's all the game was.

It's a fucking terrible game, more for being so goddamn bland. I assume normies like it because it is/was popular and normies like things that are popular because they know about them. It is a video game you can play, run around and do stuff in, and it has a fantasy setting. The graphics aren't too terrible and the music is ok. There, I guess that's why. It meets some bare minimum of a shitty game where normies can enjoy its shittiness without feeling bad.

Boku no Hero Academia is this exact thing too. Stand battles in JoJo brushed up against this problem. One Piece definitely has the same issue for the devil fruit users with snowflake powers. Literally only 1 of every fruit user can exist on the planet at one time, literal snowflake powers.

BTW this is why I like the Eneis Lobby plot so far. Six Powers was a weird idea, but at least it's a skill you can train and not some innate snowflake bullshit.

Damn I miss Hokuto no Ken... I'll get around to watching devilman eventually, but it's distantly related to capeshit and I hate how all the anime now is related to capeshit.

Dammit I just wanna see cool fightan shit happen in a viday gaem. Like that new yakuza dev kenshiro game. 8-)

At least the devil fruits gave us one hilarious moment:

(Skip to around 2:20 if you're impatient)

And speaking of Enie's Lobby, I fucking love those CP-9 dudes. They don't need fruits to kick ass, they just ate some to kick more ass.

And while the whole haki stuff introduced (or rather explained) later has some iffy bits, I like how it acts like a nerf to those Logia fruit blokes who where previously just way too good with their quasi-intangibility. And it is another skill anyone can learn (aside from those iffy bits).
