  1. I must be a madman for running around with a bare screen Switch. Next order from Amazon I'll get one.
  2. I guess I should be social? SW-7210-7729-2706

    Almost literally.

    A lot of gamers are looking at this as a TV replacement which is what make sense. Not sure why in Nvidia's video it is shown in a desktop setup. Anyhow, this should make PC couch gaming actually feels great. Something like this is what I imagine myself having along with a closet PC connected up to a desktop setup and a monitor/TV like this via super lower latency wires. But yeah, this thing will be probably at least $5k.
  5. There's also a wireless adapter (sold separately) which to me is crucial. No price yet but it'll cost a pretty penny.
  6. https://twitter.com/LeSeanThomas/status/950545654186676 And where was LeSean Thomas 10-12 years ago? Someone like him could have inspired me to be an animator.
  7. Some communities I go to really hate TLJ in that if I voiced that I like it, I would be crucified. It's odd too since I totally go "MUH LORE" at times. Not so much TLJ since it does wipe the slate clean in ways. Being freed from the OT would be nice. Anyhow... How do you all feel about Luke? And does Mark Hamil actually hate how Luke was portrayed?
  8. I'm just not sure if all hormone treatment for transgender folks can come in pill forms too. The study mentioned refrigeration which would make some forms highly impractical in some cases. I wished this study went more in-depth in defining and explaining things. I went into the study with general ideas and wanted more concrete answers for the hormone treatments. I didn't really get it but the gist of the study makes any issues I have trivial in that you can shuffle or bench them with no problem.
  9. Reading bits and pieces of the full study (I was looking into the hormone therapy issue), seems like it comes down to numbers. While the number is poorly defined, there's just too few transgender people to make a dent, especially after you split them up into categories. Seriously, the transgender population can fits within the error bars for the normal population. As for hormone therapy precluding service in certain places, that's what Britain does. Seems straight forward considering the numbers. And if you guys are going to bring up education and shit. Bring up Viagra, condoms and birth control. I'm quite sure service members get those. Ideally they don't fuck around but the military isn't going to stop it from happening.
  10. Huh, one of the artists I follow on Twitter also does music. Color me surprised. Here's a The Pillow cover. I'll be very happy if I ever get to the point of drawing like KNOTS. Even more if I can be musical as well (and sound like the Pillows too!).

    https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/bfgd-big-format-gaming-display?ncid=so-twi-bd-30009 65" 4K, 120hz, G-sync display. Like why in God's holy earth would I want a 65" display right in my face? Like I would understand if they market it as a living room display (be really weird) but they have it on a desktop environment. Otherwise, it is a neat piece of tech to show what they can do. Now all they need to do is shrink it like a 27" display.
  12. I think it'll just be Ys VIII news. By then it'll be what, a six months delay? I think we waited long enough. On the irrational side though... what if they somehow got the Crossbell games to prove themselves? Like sure CS3 and CS4 has better possibility but, damn man, the majority of the core fanbase would flip out if that happened. The Crossbell games would piss us off but it's not "stealing XSEED's lunch" level of pissed off. Like man, the Ys VIII announcement was bad enough but a Cold Steel would set us on fire.
  13. Bastion Quite easy but there are idols that you can activate to make the game harder. Not sure why they did it that way. Overall though I do like this game. Got quite a bit of style to say the least. 2018 is the year of the backlog.
  14. I know it's weaker than the Pirate's Curse and it's not the best metroidvania series but I love me some Shantae. Rottytops is love.
  15. Reading excerpts like that article MJ posted, some of the stuff seemed inferred. The post election day stuff seems to fit though if you look at the pictures. You want the excerpts and the book to be 100% true but it's always a good idea to step back and check and look into things. The Bannon stuff are pretty extreme and I would love to hear the tapes to back the stories up. Hell, have some of the people talk would be nice. Even a simple yes or no would work.
  16. Cold Steel is easier to get into for most people so it isn't surprising. Damn graphic whores. Then there is the aforementioned time commitment for even SC, let alone 3rd. Even for a JRPG, this series is niche. I went with student/not-Bracers because it is essentially what you were doing in the game. As for why it wasn't pure military, I would hazard that Bracer ideals just don't mix with the military. You only have to look back on the Sky games for that in the relatively laid back country of Liberl. Bracers also don't generally mix well with the current Erebonian politics. Of course it can be as simple as a school setting sells.
  17. https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/6532-trails-in-the-sky-the-3rd-s-unique-place-among-the-best-rpgs-of-the-year This article puts why this series and any individual game in the Kiseki series so hard to judge, especially on a GOTY basis. What is said about 3rd can easily apply to any other game in the series. And holy crap, 3rd was last year? That game got lost in the shuffle.
  18. Apparently the book is dropping early like tomorrow. I can imagine what goes down in his administration but I'll get the ebook just to see how bad it is.
  19. I just finished Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) anime adaption. It is legit and it is all/mostly CG. Before you run away, I have to say this is probably one of the only times I remember when it was done well. Yes there are some weirdness here and there but some of them I feel works with the art direction the studio went with. Seriously, the studio is great with setting up shots and such. As for the story, it is incomplete since the manga is ongoing but I felt it was good. Yet sad and intriguing. Cute too. So please give it a try. Maybe the OP can convince you.
  20. I didn't know that this was from last year. It sounds like it is from the early 2000's or so. It's so good!
  21. Kind of why we all have Nerf guns at home right? I personally have two and always think about expanding the collection.
  22. Hydrate, I'm counting on you to defend me if the North Koreans attack. Even if they don't attack, be prepared for tacos for days. And beer. So many good breweries down there.
  23. The performance and/or quality of the games really does make the Switch great. Sure the 3DS and Vita beats out the Switch on portability but I like the screen size of the Switch. It is just about right. I think the only thing missing is a truly portable dock. Honestly just give me a brick with wires. One for the Switch, one for HDMI, and one for power. I would pack that with me when I leave for work. For now though... I'll remain playing in mostly portable mode.
  24. I'd be lying if I said I don't love this song. It's similar to how I like and (you are right)
  25. Hydrate, I wouldn't even mention the connection because it works so well. Reason why I haven't corrected myself. It's one of the best kept spoilers in the game. And yeah, be prepared to be ganked by Monkey Trouble or Blue Bird of Death.
