Someone here has Cult of the Lamb on Switch? I'm interested in it, but i've read confusing impressions about performance, some say it's good, some it's good after a patch, some say it's very bad.

Would love some first hand impressions.

And while i have a PS5, this is not a game i get on this console, nor do i have the motivation to power on this electric heater during the current temperatures.

Don't have the game, but the fact that they waited until the release date to send review codes (and reluctantly so) for the Switch version is usually not a great sign.

Okay, for those who care I decided to name my flying book thing a "Phantome" and I made a walking book creature wielding a scythe called a "Grimwar".

And he looks incredible.

Oooooh boy do they exist. I grew up surrounded by them. "Trump 2024" stickers are slapped all over stop signs and fast food speakers and anything someone can reach from a car. I see "Let's Go Brandon" decals multiple times a day.

Sometimes it's hard for me to fathom that the other side exists, because I've spent so many years ducking and weaving around the attempts to get me to join the cult that I genuinely started thinking I was the nutty one and maybe they were right. Like, if everyone tells you you're wrong, it'd be narcissistic to think you're the only one who sees the truth, right?

Well January 6th was the switch-flip for me, because after decades of people telling me how wrong I was about everything, how I'm being brainwashed by the liberal media and liberal teachers, I finally got to watch live the very shit I've been saying for a decade that I was scared of happening. Like there it was, in plain sight. Confirming everything for me. And then when everyone around me started up with the false flag conspiracy theories, I was able to confidently know that they're the ones out of their fucking minds, not me.

So that was kinda nice.

can I just say I’m glad the “direct speculation thread” exists because it has turned this thread into way more of a chill hang out zone than EVER before

Mentally prepping myself for the $40 I'm about to lose at poker at a friend's house tonight 😂

Also Carly Rae Jepsen with the new music video in two and a half hours (AND The Midnight putting a video out for their latest single yesterday); 2022 has been such a good year for new music, at least to my tastes
 
Fam I have a SERIOUS PROBLEM

I have discovered that, man: assembling plastic model kits is an EXTREMELY chill activity that I actively love to do.

But also

Damn I REALLY Do not like Gundams

I just don’t really like how they look. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is. But here I am looking for plastic model kits (PlaMo) to assemble and it’s all just Gundam this and Gundam that.

Anyone have any PlaMo recommendations that aren’t Gundam?

Since you don't like Gundams, have you tried building a Zaku or maybe Tallgeese?

Bandai has some non Gundam stuff, tho availability can vary(they tend to have the highest ease and quality). They have a one piece grand ship line that’s 5” scale ships from the show(they are sticker heavy). (I damaged my merry’s sail in a move)
IMG_4938.jpg

For Non-Gundam mecha, the Infinity/Infinitism High Grade line is current and excellent, with Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger being in the style of the infinity movie designs while the others are based off that style(Mazinkaizer, Steel Jeeg, Grendizer, Getter Dragon)
IMG_4739.jpg

There’s also some older lines like HG L-Gaim, Dunbine, and MG Patlabor(all are still in print but way lower separation and more stickers, outside of a couple L-Gaim kits getting retooled upgrades last year). Oh the RG Eva line is excellent, as is the HG SRW OG line but the former has similar designs and the latter is still new with only 3 releases like Cybuster here
IMG_4625.jpg

IMG_4557.jpg

There’s also the figurise Bandai kit line which is all character figures from Naruto and Goku to Buzz lightyear and woody. Also their Star Wars line but no connection there personally. They also have a bunch of other random stuff like ultraman and Kamen rider tho those go from simple to complex

If you’re up for more of a challenge, Kotobuya does a mix of stuff like Muv luv, frame girls and Hexa gear. There’s also Moderoid which has an insane number of licensed suits(but the lowest color separation/slightly tougher kits) and availability can be tighter, they recently did 2 forms of Bloodia from Cyberbots, have Rayearth kits coming up and a crazy number of other stuff.
 
I can't keep spamming you guys with the ridiculous shit I'm making, stop psychically telling me to do it. Stoppppp.

I made a candy portal.

Assuming you don’t want more humanoid mecha, I’m pretty sure there’s model kits for Pokemon, Zoids and tokusatsu. And anime girls I guess

I think I’m going to get into (and very quickly exhaust) the Sentai Mini-Pla stuff. It’s not that I don’t want humanoid mecha, I just don’t like Gundam as a media property (just not for me!) and I find the robots overly angular and… I dunno, weird. Not for me!
 
Going to the LI Retro Gaming Expo tomorrow, as a certified Zillennial™ I'm genuinely excited to see and play old consoles that folks have been talking up so much.

Seeing an actual Wonderswan or Neo Geo Pocket would make my day.

NGL a lot of these robots just look like Gundams to me lol

As I said above I do think I’m gonna go hard into Sentai Mini-Pla (who do NOT look like gundams they are very different! No I will not explain my stance) but that’s a very quick-to-exhaust list. I’ve done a Figure Rise Standard before of Kamen Rider Build, but TBH I already own the Figuarts of basically every Rider so to me, I’m not really keen on building kits of them because there’s zero way the kits are going to come out looking better than the (oftentimes very expensive) pre-made figures.

I do appreciate the recommendations, though! I wish I was into One Piece because those ships look REAL neat

I mean those first 3 predate Gundam by over 5 years. They’re supers. Also all one piece ships are loosely based off of real world ships too. But yeah I was going to mention super mini pla but outside of browsing that moderoid there’s not a ton of high quality kit recommendations I can make other than say Bandai puts out random one offs all the time. Like the millennium puzzle from yugioh.

Oh and if you’re a fan of combiners you may want to put in a preorder for RG Gaogaigar

Just know, these are normally in the 20-30 range but will jump up to 40 if between print refreshes(or higher if really long). Red force is getting a reprint this month and baratie got one recently. Sunny and Merry are always in stock of course. The big shops are getting a restock this or next month, here’s the BBTS listings https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?SearchText=Grand+ship+collection+
If you’re na of course

Get the Nekobusou, easy to build, and looks awesome. There are different models and the parts are exchangable, so you can finally have a weapon to surpass Metal Gear

Is there actual Wonderswan nostalgia outside of Japan? I thought it never made it Westward?

Square really needs to get on with porting some of their WS originals to modern systems 😡

What is it that people so strongly dislike about Harmony of Dissonance? Is it just the overly saturated visuals? The convoluted map with it’s annoying barriers?

Because those issues aside I’m loving it. Aria must be really damn good for people to consider it such a drastic improvement.

Mostly the music being disappointing and the design feeling very derivative of SotN. But I haven’t played it in a while so I couldn’t really tell you if I share those opinions, I just know that I enjoyed Aria much more.

There are a lot of things that my mediterranean ass finds super weird about North America and the idea that packages are just left out of your house is one of them.

How and why is it acceptable? Here they either deliver it to you in person, put them in your mailbox or come back the next day if they can't do either.

I played it yesterday for a bit (20 min ~). Performance is not great. I hope they can improve it. It‘s not a disaster but it feels a bit off from time to time.

To give you all an update from my doctor appointment. I have inflammation on parts of my wrist, probably from playing too much games or repetitive movement in general a small case of carpal tunnel. They want me to take steroids for a while to heal it and to wear a brace on it as well.

No video games for at least two weeks and after that I will be taking it easy some
