Damn. My Vivian just stopped working. Do anyone know how to reboot her?
Nah. I just really wanted to adapt the last panel of the doujinshi to the classic Vivian so I could use it as a meme. I think she has a funny face.
Summer Traditions.
Today I got my first “S” on Deadly Assault. I have no idea how I did it. Everything just came together...
It's also frustrating because while this team I put together on a whim has performed perfectly, my team with the most potential hasn't managed to get anything better than a B.
I was watching a video that listed some movies based on books that were “better than the books.” And among them was Jurassic Park.
Okay. I’m not objective because Jurassic Park is one of my favorite books. Michael Crichton taught me in that book how to manage groups and keep readers engaged when writing a novel, and I wrote an entire dissertation about the book in college.
It’s not “better.” They’re just different. The movie is one of the greatest, but I think the book holds its own.

@bearmine@gamepad.club In theory, the point of spice is to bring out the flavour. If you add spice and there’s no flavour to bring out... 
Also, Juli now (wait for it):
Also, Juli now (wait for it):Well. Triple A in Shiryu Defense (LVL5). Thanks to Pyrois/Trigger facing off against someone without a vulnerability. It’s been a while since I pulled that off.
Actually, I think it’s been since they introduced the Wind element.
It bothers me a little that they’re adding a new damage element—with enemies vulnerable to Wind, with mechanics vulnerable to Wind… but so far there’s only one character with Wind, and I don’t like her.
…and the ones coming up don’t appeal to me either.
I see something odd in this picture.
Not Belle's statement. It makes sense to accept the fact that the house now belongs to Inky.
But I find it strange to see the cat next to objects that could easily be pushed off the table, like that bottle or that Luckyboo statue.
Damn... my first S in the fourth pillar of Shiryu Defense...
I won't deny that Sigrid (and Sunna) had something to do with it, but the real game-changer here was adding Trigger to the group with Pyrois and Astra (poor Vivian—she got left out).
People aren’t recommending picking up Trigger, but her W-Engine gives you +35% damage… Well… I don’t know. I’m actually noticing it. I think it was a good choice.
Or maybe it was because I'm using Snap?
In case anyone missed today's ZZZ special on 3.2, the redemption code is:
FLINTWORKS
Don't forget to redeem it—you'll get quite a few goodies.
For those of you playing ZZZ or who have an account, remember that today marks the start of the second anniversary, and they’re giving away 1 agent of your choice with a W-Engine.
To Choose from:
- Lucia.
- Jane.
- Anby Soldier-0.
- Trigger.
- Hugo.
There are also some interesting changes, like the fact that you now have 3 more characters to choose from in Static, and they’ve added improvements to Nekomata, Jane, and Rina.

@aceattveg@gamepad.club @bearmine@gamepad.club Now that you call them “The Ancients,” I'm starting to understand why Cthulhu and all those ancient creatures are always “sleeping for millennia.” 
Now I can’t help but imagine Cthulhu or any creature from the mythos waking up after centuries of sleep, complaining to his followers for waking him up, running to get a coffee, or rolling over in bed with a “five more millennia…”🛌
What a plot twist...

What a plot twist...Okay, the next part of *Where Winds Meet* takes place on the Windows desktop. (On a stormy night.)

That's true. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint exactly why it's so different, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Let's start with a very simple example.
You can easily and effortlessly identify which characters belong to ZZZ 1.0. Whereas if you take a look at the 3.0 characters, people would have trouble telling whether or not they’re from Genshin.
They’ve even changed the designs of characters they’d already defined to make them more fantasy-like (and more cleavage).
Why am I always sleepy all the time...? 
I want to draw... but for some reason I'm so sleepy I could fall asleep.
...And it's early to go to bed.
...And it's early to go to bed.I just finished the last panel of the second page of my doujinshi... (out of the five I originally planned).
...It took me two months to do two pages. At this rate...👴
And on top of that, I just realized I have a couple of minor mistakes... and there's something about the last panel that doesn't convince me... 
Replying to
That urban aesthetic was what made ZZZ unique, and I have to admit, that’s what drew me to it. Belle/Rin’s design is awesome. The Cunning Hares’ design is the very definition of ZZZ. Zhu Yuan’s tactical police gear with touches of British police style. Miyabi’s group, all sporting that “office” style mixed with “samurai” (it looks better than it sounds). Etc... That aesthetic in the characters of 3.0.
Replying to
Because, according to him, since the developers said the game was “urban fantasy,” it’s fine to have fantasy elements.
That we’ve always had demons running around and magic swords and no one ever said anything. And that since the main theme (according to him) of 2.0 was greed, which is an urban theme, it counts as “urban fantasy.”
Since the people complaining can’t really define why they’re complaining, there’s actually no problem.
Replying to
And what really won me over when I saw the story was that urban fantasy element. But it was like... urban over fantasy. You had different races—demons, werewolves—walking down the street like it was normal. Miyabi had a cursed magic sword... and nobody batted an eye. But the overall theme, the conspiracies, the plot... The Hollow catastrophe... It was focused more on a style—not 100% sci-fi, but not 100% fantasy either.
Now what we see is fantasy set in an urban fantasy world.

@bearmine@gamepad.club @aceattveg@gamepad.club If I’d had enough space in the back to turn it around… but it didn’t.
In the end, I managed to straighten it out.
On Sunday, I managed to find some time to play through the ZZZ campaign and beat version 2.8.
Honestly... I had a lot of fun.
The good part is that it reminded me of what I love about ZZZ. In this part of the campaign, they make fun of themselves a ton. Like when they send Fairy out to find characters with pink hair using a search query that’s a little... weak, and they end up bringing back everyone they know.
I love that they describe Nicole as “Best-friends-already.”
Replying to
@aceattveg@gamepad.club Sorry I didn't mention it yesterday (I was falling asleep). So was I wrong to assume that because she's pale, she burns easily?...
...on the other hand, since she's a “lizard,” she wouldn't have any trouble shedding her skin...
Replying to
Let's see. To be honest, I love the ZZZ edition, but it's ridiculously expensive. Fifty bucks more for the same controller, even though it comes with tons of replacement parts and extras...
The G7Pro looks good but it’s more expensive than the 8bitdo, and it bugs me that it only connects to the Xbox via a cable... even though I don’t have an Xbox. But the question is... why?
The 8bitdo looks good and is the cheapest... but I think it has a “sharp” edge that I think will make it uncomfortable.

@bearmine@gamepad.club If I’m not mistaken, when you purchase a perpetual licence, you’re stuck with version X.0 of the software you’re licensed for. If they release X.1, you won’t have it unless you upgrade your licence or have a subscription.
So far, I haven’t had any compatibility issues when upgrading from X.0 to X+1.0 after upgrading my perpetual licences.
Also, the perpetual licence is only for desktop. Android, iPad and iPhone require a subscription, I think.

@aceattveg@gamepad.club That reminds me of when the Amazon delivery person decided they could fit a Switch game through the slot of a standard-sized mailbox. Like this one.
You can imagine how it ended up bent into an L-shape.
Lucky it was a Switch game and not one with a big breakable disk inside...
One panel... just one panel more...

@aceattveg@gamepad.club Even though I liked Super Mario Bros 2. I liked the change of pace and the character selection with different skills...

@bearmine@gamepad.club I went to ask my expert on all these matters to see what the difference was, and I just realized that the description in Spanish is right below.
When I was a kid, I had a friend who had a Master System... I don't remember it having graphics that good.
I may do remember the graphics being better than the NES's, or maybe just more colorful, but not on par with the SNES. 
I mean, it didn't reach the levels of the Genesis/Megadrive.
