iStu X Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) First! I’ll repost what I posted right before it was closed  So, Astria Ascending, a game I am very much looking forward to just unveiled its in-game pastime game called J-Ster. this is its trailer with very brief gameplay of it.   The reason I am so excited for this and why I find it so cool is back in the mid to late 2000’s there was a game that played seemingly exactly how J-Ster does called Clout.  https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Clout_series  You used poker chips that represented monsters to battle each other. I don’t know if J-Ster will go crazy in-depth like Clout did with clan bonuses, unit bonuses, foundation locations, etc but I won’t be surprised if it does.  I find it absolutely mind blowing and hilarious that a game I played for its brief life span has been seemingly reborn in a JRPG. Edited July 24, 2021 by iStu X Quote

Chadouken Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Played some more Returnal last night. So far my first run has been my best. Made it to the boss of the first biome last night but I fucked the fight up and got my shit pushed in.  I need to get the grappling hook so I can open up more areas for upgrades in the first biome to help set up better runs. But I have to beat the second biome boss in order to get the grappling hook. But I need the grappling hook to make the second boss easier to manage. But I can't get the grappling hook until I beat the second boss. This fucking game. Edited July 24, 2021 by Chadouken Quote

For instance one of the dev team live streams where developers were making fun of the player base about them wanting abc to fix or thinking xyz needs nerfed.

But the state of California is prob gonna do what we all have wanted to do to Activision (and Blizzard by proxy), and have not been able to do collectively; that being lightening the pockets of one Robert Kotick just a tiny bit.

MillionX Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) ok yeah... I had a ton of the MS reward points so I got the Streets of Rage 4 dlc with that today....(ha, and I still have a lot left over) I have only tried sor4-version Max and Shiva so far but BRUH.... Shiva is, unsurprisingly, THE SHIT. This dude is combo-city, folks. Just a little while ago, with a half-ass amount of effort I got an 80-hit combo on the screen....then there's that one move where you dash past someone and he stands in the cool pose as a flurry of hits get them about a half-second later. That shit is DELICIOUS every time I see it. He continues to be one of the most badass dudes in the history of the genre, imo.  Also---this content is actually on sale right now; it's only a slightly reduced price but it was like 6 bucks and change, something like that.

IIRC While the Adamantium greatly enhances his durability, everything else is better for him without it. Particularly his healing factor because his body is constantly trying to remove the Adamantium. With his it gone, he heals even faster.

From a physical stand point, weighing a third less makes him faster and more agile. Totally true, but his healing factor allows him to not be hindered by the extra weight, since every muscle has been toned up t support the strain of having the skeleton. Which is why when he doesnt have it, his agility becomes way above human and some super human metrics on the marvel universe.  He basically is always training his muscles and getting healed immediately from any damage, allowing to become even stronger each time.

Adult Link actually isn't really short in most incarnations...he's about average height.  Most of the NPCs/characters he talks to in the games he's in are about eye level with him. Beedle is definitely taller, King Hyrule is usually also a big boy in all his incarnations, and as you mentioned Ganondorf. The only other notable NPC that that's a humanoid character that comes off the top of my head that was noticeably taller than him was Telma from TP. I'm sure there's a few others but she sticks out for 'plot' reasons.
