I love that this thread is slowly developing into a Monkey Island sword fighting training course.

Dumplings from time to time bring their own (pool) noodles too.

I mean if we go further that way then a swimming pool is also a soup.

He is very tolerant when it comes to his owner.

Love this 100% cat owner mindset.

What stop here Belinda honey just cancel it forever?

I am glad that "I googled why I was coughing and it said I had cancer and would die in 7 days so farewell you are a good friend" will live on for more years.

I am playing this too and do enjoy what I've been doing. However it does feel that the game hasn't improved much from DDDA. The Dragonplague thing is quite annoying and I am thinking of stopping for a while before they have done something to it. I really cannot recommend this game to others as for now, which is sad.

I remember how I was amazed when they showed that you could pick up shot arrows in Oblivion. Now I am not even going to click this link for whatever the drip feed information it contains. Seeing what Bethesda, Blizzard and Ubisoft have become, 17 years old me would be very disappointed in today's game industry.

squints eyes Is this... is this Loss???

It's one of those meth labs where the t is silent.

I mean, gong-bao chicken is also just diced chicken tossed in sauce, and san-bei chicken is, too. Beef Wellington is just half-ass cooked beef in pie crust.

Rage Comics, the character style on the right, was used widely in memes 10 years ago, like how Wojak characters (on the left) work today.

Ashes of Time, notably Maggie Cheung's scene. The friend that recommended the film to me prefers the original version, but I like the redux version.

You mean there were other marriable NPCs other than Farkas? Interesting-

Microsoft Comic Chat (imo the concept still looks cool today)

They basically weren't aware of the game before it got GotY and some even got sour that it won more awards than Zelda. (There was even a forum thread named something like "[sad news] a game that no Japanese has heard of has won GotY" which was quite hilarious.)
Then after the launch many players are surprised of how much freedom the game provides, and enjoy multiplayer sessions, classic big explosions, Talk with Animals, Scratchy the dog and Grease + fire combo, etc. There were some players that dropped the game with weird reasons tho, from "not anime enough" to "I thought this was an action RPG??" and even "I like RPGs but not TRPGs (??)" I'd say BG3 seems to be more like 50/50 in Japan because how its structure is different from JRPG's, but those who enjoy the game are really fond of it.

Soul like everything, but that's just me being too clumsy for any challenge. I do hope some people could stop complaining other games being too easy tho. Not every game needs to be Soul likes.

Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur's Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it's been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don't like what Musk's doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it's kind of it is what it is situation now.
