I've been having trouble with qoto lately, so I've created an alt at @josemanuel@social.sdfeu.org. I don't plan on closing this one, but I will probably start using the other one more. You don't have to follow me there if you don't want to. This is more like a PSI.
Extended metaphore refanatzio review
@vaartis I was going to wait until I finished the game to read the review, but, after twenty hours of it, I decided I had enough. I found it boring and predictable.
In terms of gameplay, I hate that they went back to SMT's types of attack. (Who needs three types of physical attacks?) It's supposed to be (sort of) open world, but then they take you wherever they want because the story demands it. You can't even reach your destination through a different path. So frustrating. Of those 20 hours, at least five consisted of these barely interactive ‘cutscenes’.
The protagonist lacks anything resembling a personality, and neither of the other characters are remotely as lovable or memorable as P5R's.
That said, according to my nephew, we are the only ones on the Internet who hold these opinions, so you're probably right in what you wrote.
@vaartis I do, even though I find them cringey and (I'm sorry to say) not particularly sexy.
@hfaust In Spain we say: “No pasa nada, y si pasa, se le saluda”, which means the same thing.
@PatricioBateman Sigue siendo uno de mis discos favoritos de Iggy y “Beside you” mi canción preferida de él. Las notas ‘manuscritas’ en el CD me humanizaron mucho al artista.
@ParadeGrotesque That happened to me when I tried to install INN. I installed a bazillion Perl packages (some of them not on SBo) and then I ended up having second thoughts about INN itself. (I was unsure about its configuration and space requirements.)
@bonifartius My personal experience was that the further away you moved from Tokyo, the nicer and kinder the people were.

stopkillinggames.com has 6 countries past the threshold and it's slowly but surely creeping towards a 7th country passing the threshold. Ireland and Belgium are notably close, both at around 85%.
Once a 7th country hits its threshold we just need to hit a total of 1 million signatures, currently we're about 39% of the way there.

@jloc0 No need to apologise at all. As a fellow slacker, thanks a lot for your work.
@lohang Sorry for telling you something you already knew. I thought you were asking about the general concept. As for those “Starter Packs” you mention, I must admit I've never heard of them.
@odonelorza No hay que olvidar que su apoyo incondicional al genocidio en Gaza también ha tenido bastante que ver con su derrota en algunos estados bisagra.
A mí eso no me disgusta de EE.UU. La gente lleva ya una temporada dándose cuenta de que eso de votar al menos malo (o para que no gane el otro) es jugar a perder y es lo que ha conducido al ascenso de Trump.
Hace falta un partido de izquierdas que no gobierne para los ricos liberales, sino para la clase trabajadora.
Irónicamente, muchos de los que han votado a Trump (no todos, quizá ni siquiera la mayoría, pero una cantidad considerable) son de izquierdas y no lo saben. Ellos se consideran de derechas por reacción al discurso de los medios de comunicación que los ponen de racistas, nazis, negacionistas, etc., pero su ideología se limita a tratar de mejorar sus condiciones de vida. ¿Por qué iban a votar a un partido que se ha pasado cuatro años tratando de provocar la Tercera Guerra Mundial en lugar de darles sanidad pública universal o subirles el salario mínimo? Trump no es la solución, claro, pero es un cambio.

@camelliakyoto I think the last picture inspired an NPC from the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona franchises:
@jloc0 Are you the one LQ's LuckyCyborg was complaining about because he thought he wasn't getting enough credit for his own fork of Eric's and PV's work?
@lohang It's a bunch of stuff one (usually figuratively) needs to get started on something. I have never seen the expression used outside of a meme, though. Example: “Insomniac starter pack: coffee and movies.” Not a very interesting example, I guess, but I think you can get the meaning.

@vaartis I had to stop playing P3R when I beat the 12th shadow because of that. Probably my fault for playing on the highest difficulty, but I like getting that feeling of accomplishment. I will get back to it and finish it at the end of the year, or maybe in January/February.
Another reason may be that the stories of P4G and P5R are lighter. P3R's is mostly drama, even advancing the social links made me sad. In the other games you help people evolve and become better, but here you just accompany them through their suffering.
@ScientistRebellion Just say “Green Party”. Don't leave people thinking the democrats are any better at this.
@Tiberio Lo que pasa es que es una incomodidad con la que te enfrentas varias veces al día, que tiene muy fácil solución y que nadie sabe de dónde ha salido ni qué problema resuelve. (Yo al menos no lo sé.)
A mí me recuerda a algo que me contaron en el módulo de Educación Medioambiental de un curso del paro hace muchos años: el chaval que contaba cómo las botellas de agua habían llevado siempre tapones de rosca. Eso estaba fenomenal, porque te permitía reutilizarla rellenándola con agua del grifo. De un tiempo a esa parte, sin embargo, se habían puesto de moda los tapones pensados para apretar la botella y que saliese el líquido a chorro.
¿Y si yo quiero hacer algo con el tapón? Ya no puedo porque está unido a la botella por una razón que se me escapa. Lo mismo pasó hace poco cuando se prohibieron las vinajeras rellenables en los restaurantes.
Mi queja (porque sí, yo me quejo) viene por el hecho de que cada decisión que se toma en estos asuntos va en contra del consumidor y del medio ambiente. Cuando yo era niño, los cascos de las botellas se llevaban al bar para reutilizarlos y encima te pagaban por ello; hoy en día los plátanos se envuelven en plástico individualmente.
tl; dr: nos quejamos por los tapones, pero eso es sólo un síntoma de algo mucho más importante y más grave.
@kaia Have you watched _Hereditary_?
@sun But why even bother? It's not as influential as it once was. Even the Linux kernel is being rewritten in Rust and leaving behind all the C graybeards.
Stallmanites (and I take that to mean “those who share Stallman's views on free software,” not just followers of rms himself) are a minority now. We're slowly losing the battle. Or so it seems to me.
I feel like we're becoming like those people who program for the Z80 or the 6502. They really know their machines inside and out. I look at them and say: “That's so cool!,” but then I think: “Once they're gone, who will follow?”
