Editbought the dune series of books for 10 bucks from amazon, i only read the first one and the others are not even in my area which is a pain. i guess itd going to be very interesting to see what happneds to paul after he becomes leader of the fremen.

i spotted a lego set of a thopter from dune at a book store, it was 200 bucks and i guess it was a version from the dune movie. i didn't think lego would make a set for dune, will they do a sandworm next?

I bought an 80 dollar solar panel for 20, i think i can also make it last since i took a class on that stuff and pretty much if you dont let it get too hot, clean it off every now and then and even dry it after it rains it'll last.
yeah so uh, a good chunk of cups i had contained a fuck ton of lead, some more then others lol.
those shitty chink ceramic cups? lead. the funny character cups (even my favorite venom cup) lead. the metal stanley cup? if you dent it even a little a fuck ton of lead leeches in. so far hydroflask seems to be an ok metal cup brand and i did some googling and holy shit are a lot of cups fucked
>>2424
That's interesting, how do you plan to use it?
>>2434
If something bad happens and i am out of power, then it'll be used to charge small devices and batteries for various things.
If i am in a situation such as stranded in a place or going camping there also might be uses for one. Not planning on relying on it, It's just something neat to have when i'm desperate.
Did anyone play the original two fallout games? And if so, Do they still hold up?
Speaking of old fallout, Here's some content i posted on the old site that i'm reposting here.

I am having a hell of a time finding all of Jason Mical's Fallout Pen and Paper. If someone finds every fallout bullshit he made i'd appreciate if you re-posted it here. (i dont know of the shit here is everything, or if it even works in the first fucking place)

>>2562
Yeah, After checking almost everything the dude made is on the wiki and all one has to do is look around. Fun stuff! I didn't realise there was a 3.0 version of the PNP and i did read the 2.0 version. What i don't like is a failed role leads to weapon decay (instead of weapon decay happening over time like in the game) And another thing is the concept of a "half mutant" which is retarded. Everything else great.
The sourcebooks are fun too, A vision of old fallout before todd howard.
Also i found a video of someone playing the RPG and it't pretty hilarious.

http://falloutmux.wikidot.com/literature
Posting this here because i don't recall seeing the sourcebook for jackpot nevada on the pnp wiki. Also i have just learned that chris avalone had a private fallout van buren PNP which was the source of everything seen in Fallout New Vegas, Apparantly some of the characters where actually some of the fallout devs RP characters like Arcade Gannon was Sawyers. Sawyer made his own PNP which is incomplete and is pretty much damn near the same as chris avalone's PNP and was the source for content found in van buren and new vegas although as i said shit is missing. https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Community:J.E._Sawyer%27s_Fallout_Role-Playing_Game
Was digging around the 'net with no real results besides that. Also, https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/playing-with-chris-avellones-fallout-pnp-cards.88801/
I find the concept of Van buren and by defacto New Vegas to be the result of someone's RP session fucking hilarious because now i'm wondering what other character in the game is a self insert of a dev.
>>2603
Also i'm interested in how sometimes information on the web is just fucking missing, Like there's times if no one saved ONE THING that you took for granted and a day passes and the thing is fucking GONE. You think the nature of the internet means things posted always remains but it's never really the case. Old music, Flash games, The sites you enjoy, Gone. Maybe it'll get archived via wayback or something but really in most cases it"s no better then a screenshot. Sometimes all we can carry with us is the good memories we have.
the fallout tv show is coming out in a few days and fucking todd howard is a executive producer...
>>2608
Don't even bother, It's shit.
I like stories about the apocalypse, It's even better when they give advice about suriving.
i hate my local hobby stores, they don't have much at all. they did have a nice pencil, but it was 12 bucks. i also bought a speedball pen and ink to learn calligraphy but i think the ink was poor. too runny.

No, 4chan isn't worthy of my post because it feels like a lot of posts are not as thoughtful as I would want. As for email 4chan is becoming worst by the day based on what you are saying.

I see, so it's not actually account registration. It's still quite bothersome. Not too long ago they've also added a 60 second delay before you make your first post, and 5 minute wait period for new threads. It looks like posting there is becoming more and more a pain in the ass
>>2656
So it's a shitty captcha alternative that probably won't work. I'll be honest, I'm not going to use an imageboard that forces me to keep a throwaway email open in another tab. Registration would be preferable. Also I don't believe for a second that the addresses will be purged.

Why? You should provide some reasons and ideally ideas for improvement. Vague whining isn't welcome here
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:C0DA
been meaning to point this out but i think kirkbride had it right with C0DA,
fuck these niggers who ruin the shit we like, lets do our own bullshit. dont like starwars "canon"? cut out the bullshit you dont like and write your own bullshit. it doesn't matter if they are some big popular brand, they always ruin shit and real niggers know how to tell a good story. i read a few home made DC comics stories posted on 4cucks /co/ recently and they had a bunch of fun ideas and it just reminds me of how no one should lose hope on what they enjoy.
>>2663
In terms of what? What direction should 22chan go for to improve? How are we inferior the competitions?
>>1795
In my opinion it's a pretty decent selection, I'm totally going to abuse the fuck out of this since i haven't seen most of the anime on the list.
so far i have been practicing my drawing with "drawing on the right side of the brain". i made it to chapter 3, i feel comfortable so far and the way things are explained are interesting.
ive been freaking out attempting to find an anime i saw an ad for when i was a kind while watching adult swim. i havent found anything so faf but i did find these two anime. Cyber City Oedo 808 and Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song
vivy sounds interesting for a new anime but cyber city really catches my eyes, the visuals are incredible. not going to stop looking for that anime that spooked me.
>>2749
I tried Vivy a while back, can't really recommend it. I did not finish the series. There are bumps of impressive animation, but the plot isn't very interesting. Whenever it starts to get kind of interesting it just drops the plot thread. The characters are disappointingly flat. Premise seems kind of interesting but it's overly episodic. It's supposed to be like this journey through time, but nothing really changes across the decades. If it followed through on what it appears to promise, and the setting gets shaken up in every episode because of the 50+ year time gaps, that would be really cool. As is however, it's just sort of "hey remember that one human, they are old now but here's their granddaughter that looks just like them lol lmao." There's no visible technological or cultural progress and that is lame and sad.

found this while browsing archives of 4chan's /x/ board. its a translation of the japanese novel series that inspired megami tensei.
>>2749
i'll go into detail about the anime that made me piss myself when i saw the ad on tv.
there are two girls, one hiding and another outside. the girl that is hiding is scared as fuck watching the other girl get taken away. the other girl, who was outside was being dragged away kicking and screaming by either disturbed villagers or a cult. the outside was like something you'd see in old japan with old buildings and that red arc thingy. intense music was playing and i remember there was a blurb stating something like "the scariest anime of all time"
i don't remember what age i was, maybe 10 years old or 8. im gonna find it and when i do dammit i'll post a link or something or just die trying lol. another thing i just realised is that my dad introduced me to an anime when i was a kid, something about a guy wearing a golden mask? something about a giant flying steampunk airship? fuck if i remember properly, but damn was it an old memory.
>>2775

I don't feel like discussing this in very detail but I've been watching Monster recently and I thought these 70 episodes would be like a really good way to distract myself but now that I am at the finishing line it feels like I've been watching a slice of life in disguise of a thriller anime. I used to originally live in the regions that the Monster anime takes place (Dusseldorf) in so I'm gonna cut it some slack and say that I enjoyed all the scenery portrayal of 70-90s Germany, but oh man these super pointless chase scenes it feels like this entire thing could have been summarized in 16-24 episodes and still been a decent watch.

>>2856
to elaborate a bit, there was a new arcade set up in my area and 90% of the games are directly imported jap games.
>>2857
Sound Voltex was one that i can remember. i played this rythim game with a bunch of cubes and you have to touch the cubes at the correct moment. it was a pain to navigate but i found a song i could recognise, a touhou song with cerno about math or whatever i dont know the name, i just remember that someone posted it on the old site lol. i felt like a cat smacking his paws trying to catch prey and doing a terrible job at it.
i also got to play old school marvel vs capcom, xmen arcade, contra, metal slug, this jap game where you hit a drum with a stick to the beat. played a NES enulator which had starfox, earthbound and chrono trigger and a,fuck ton of other games
>>2858
also another touhou song called bad apple

the drum game was called TAIKO NO TATSUJIN, i literally searched jap drum game and thats what popped up. literally everything was in japanese and i got stuck in the tutorial. only thing i know is i had accidentily chosen some slow as fuck jpop song and the sushi lady was mad at me for being a shit drummer. also i think the machine was the original 2001 version?
>>2861
Well sorry for that, it's just that only now i had gotten kicked out of the arcade and after i made the first post i'm remembering details that absolutely slipped my mind.
Also to be honest this is an area where every person is elderly and the local establishments for entertainment are just bingo halls. from what i understand someone bought a fuck ton of storages that where abandoned and they had a fuck ton of old arcade machines? and to make matters more confusing it was just set up this year. it was horrible to walk around because it was filled with people from out of town, and state even though it was 9 PM and it was a pain in the ass to find an empty machine. >>2859
adding to the list was some old as fuck Initial D racing game but it was janky as FUCK and was filled with broken english.
when i actually got to racing the AE86 the damn game broke down on me. there was a game i wish i had more time to play, it was a player vs player game where you had fighter pilot controls and piloted a mecha and it was neat as fuck although instructions written in english would have been great because the controls are VERY complicated, the abformentioned controls was split into two, each allowing delicate maneuvers.

Sound Voltex is pretty cool I played it a bunch at the local arcades in Nevada but I suck pretty bad at it.

You're probably talking about jubeat

Cirno's Perfect Math Class.
>>2859
>>2862
>this jap game where you hit a drum with a stick to the beat
Yeah TAIKO NO TATSUJIN I always go to play it if it's available at the local arcade where I am staying at but you can pretty much play it on a phone, console, and PC even buy a drum accessory to play. osu!'s taiko mode is based off of it.
>>2863
>it's just that only now i had gotten kicked out of the arcade
How did you get kicked out?
> it was horrible to walk around because it was filled with people from out of town, and state even though it was 9 PM
If it's an area without Japanese arcade machines of course everyone is gonna try and drive to the one that has one even if it's far away, but 9 PM is usually the prime time for this stuff so it's always packed.
>there was a game i wish i had more time to play
The mecha game you are talking about could it be Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna?
Also if you get the chance try playing Beatmania and Pop'n Music I'm sure you'll find a bunch of new songs you'll like.
>>2866
>How did you get kicked out?
For whatever reason people left in droves at roughly the same time and it was only me and a few people left so they decided to close early at 10pm instead of 11.

whew i was looking for anime and such under a specific genre (in a sense like lain) but also kinda trippy or whatever and i stumbled under this thing called "denpa" and its one of the most interesting thing i've ever heard of and exactly what i was looking for its just i couldnt find the fucking words to discribe it. i mean lain had one of the basic ideas but another thing was trying to re-create or like just understand an experience where i was awake for 11 days and when i started hallucinating and the lines between reality broke down like a waking dream.
Are there any nonwoke tabletop games out there?
Also does anyone play tabletop?
Personally i always wanted to play one since i was a kid and i have been eyeballing this battletech essentials kit at target for 20 shekels. I already kinda knew about battletech because i had a few old comics from 1987 lol and it was a good series.

I really want to see a second season of Houseki No Kuni. This was the second time I felt that CGI was superior to 2D animation and had it been done purely in 2D it would have been nowhere as good as it was with the CGI. I tried continuing from the manga but it felt like it had lost its charm completely and I was confused with the character addition that wasn't explained in the Anime at that time. Good CGI in anime is rare; the first time I saw it done EXTREMELY well was in Black Rock Shooter. I got obsessed with figuring out how certain scenes were done in 3D, leading me to explore Japanese net looking for the behind the scenes articles on it and man it really was an experience to see just how far they went to achieve certain details. Houseki no Kuni gave me the same excitement, and I translated and read every CGWORLD article about it and was fascinated at the stuff like the intricate hair designs.
I do wonder if anyone would be interested in a behind-the-scenes anime thread? It could cover not just CGI but general anime production.

Completely agree with the assessment of HNK's CGI. It's visually stunning as an anime, one of the best from recent years. Takes the stigma of CGI in anime and flips it on its head completely. The sound design and soundtrack also come together really well. All the clinking and chiming of every step, touch, and chip of the characters keeps their nature as living gemstones at the fore; never feels like they're human. The use of narrative to explore attachment from a zen Buddhist perspective is also great. A season 2 would make me incredibly happy. You can feel the effort that went into Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous' anime adaptation. I'd be interested to hear what you've found, and think a general behind the scenes thread would fit very well here. Go for it!
Was going through archives of Bruce tims art on internet archive and he drew asuka and rei lol also sailor moon. As for marvel i really like the x-men art he did, especially the stuff he did with iron man.
>>3092
I love G Gundam because it didn't take itself overly serious and was willing to have scenes like this.
>>2857
Will be going back to the arcade tomorrow. Might make a thread on /vg/ to talk about arcade games, either way it's going to be fun.
I was attempting to find a video which was originally on 2chan and was reposted on a thread in which a tabby cat is staring at you while a lady is repeatedly singing "manko" and instead i stumbled apon this https://youtube.com/watch?v=8VQ08WqMtxc [Play]
Missed out some stuff on my birthday. Made a decent cake which i'll share the recipe for. Gonna watch the quiet place prequal movie today and maybe in a few days go to the arcade since it was closed yesturday. Such is life!
>>3112
what games do u play at the arcade? i play ddr/itg.
>>3120
marvel vs capcom, contra, jubeat, few rythim games, takio no tatsujin, few racing games, this time around i plan on focusing on the rythim game, and maybe a tiny bit of pinball and probably ddr.
i stumbled apon a game at walmart for 5 bucks: the outer worlds. i had no clue this game existed and was written by the creators of OG fallout. i wonder if i stumbled apon a hidden gem either way i'm not reading anything about the fucker whatsoever from the internet since i don't want to be influenced in any way. so far it seems neat, got my ass stolen by some asshole who chucks me on a planet and charges me to save the people stuck in hypersleep by finding some ingredients to make some antifreeze. in a way its kinda like finding the water chip all over again.
holy shit trump got shot i have so many questions like why didnt people run away? they are staring at the camera and stuff

whew lads bought it for 12 bucks instead of 24, next stop i gotta find me a pnp rpg game and i'll finally have my childhood dream in my hands. battletech seems pretty neat although complicated. alot of people seem to like the essentials box so it seems i made a good choice for something to start with.

Found this recently
I bought a bucket hat recently. It is a good hat, thought the brim was going to be too small at first but it turns out it blocks out sun perfectly. Another neat thing i'm probably going to use more is a sling bag, because it keeps my phone and wallet out of my pockets where they can fall out and whatever and i can use it for extra storage when i'm running around.
>>3169
I really thought the bucket hat was going to look faggoty on me but i was shocked. i used to wear a baseball cap but honestly it kept the sun out of my face but not my neck. I kinda realised bucket hats was a thing because i remember my uncle wore one all the fucking time no matter what month it was or if he was indoors so i kinda loled a bit but realised it could be useful if i had one.
>>3170
Whenever I see the bucket hat I think the person is going fishing or something like that.
>>3156
based on what i have seen at stores (and heard about) i have a few that interest me
alien rpg, seems cool but pricey
dnd 3.5 allegedly the best version of the game but HOW THE FUCK will i be able to buy that shit? pretty old, hopfully i'll find a reprint somewhere?
and finally theres a battletech rpg that sounds cool and i guess they hardly changed it in ages so atleast there wont be woke shit.
I fantacized about leading a Catholic army like Dune, of
Mexicans or Brazilians? That was dumb because they're niggers.

even after finishing it, i still draw like a six year old. not giving up, bought another book called "keys to drawing" by bert dodson, and if i still can't draw for shit after finishing that i still have to polish off "how to draw what you see" and i'm not going to give up. i bought an ames guide to practice comic book lettering too.
maybe you heard of one piece and someone mentioned skypea and how its important or something and you wanted a TLDR then i think vid related would sum everything up perfectly.

its hard as fuck to find horror manga, especially ones that are actually good or atleast scary. so far i am currently reading "school live" a somewhat psychological horror, zombie survival story. it really started out fucking good and spooky but the spooks died out real quick which is too bad. it's still a fine story so far.

Another thing i checked out was madoka magica. I had made a terrible mistake reading the manga version of madoka magica, (you might get a poor impression, it was intended to only exist in the anime format and it shows) instead i would highly suggest watching thd regular fucking anime version. Good stuff, i wasn't expecting the lovecraftian horror twist and god damn the paper-cut animation of the witches are amazing and uncanny. i can only imagine seeing those fuckers irl, maybe it would be like those scenes from the twilight zone movie.

I started watching and reading anime and manga off of my "need to read" list and i decided to watch cyber city 808 and to read monster.
Cyber city is outstanding, the visuals are incredible and the narritive is great. Started reading Monster, made it to chapter 7 of 162. My thoughts? I'm pissed off at the internal politics of the hospital that kenza is working at, at least hd realised it was bullshit and stuck to his morals. its a good read so far and i'm invested although i just realised there was a 9 year jump in time, it wasn't obvious and was implied by a detective.
you know what fuck it
so i was reading Nekojiru's work a whild back and i realised how either incomplete archives are and all these bullshit content warnings like "warning dark humor ahead" and this is why lmao

I hope these faggot translators finally lose their job to AI if they haven't yet. Since when does your job allow you to completely change parts just because they're not politically correct or don't align with your own views?
Also, Nekojiru, if anyone hasn't yet I would absolutely recommend to watch the movie https://nyaa.si/view/1701757 https://youtu.be/XlLBX4EIlJY [Play] There are some surreal scenes that really stuck with me, like the one on the boat where the pig is unzipped, and its insides are neatly arranged like something out of a cookbook.
>>3399
i think this is actually a quality manga, something i like is that i had expectations on how things would end, i thought everyone would die but it didn't actually happen.
>>3415
i like the way characters are drawn in monster, everyone has distict personalities and obvious racial characteristics, german, asian, turkish, ect. wide, enlarged head equals smart, squinty eyes equals sneaky and so on. also the backgrounds ard drawn beautifully. i wonder how long it took the artist to draw them.
also cyber city 808 is a classic, episode two was a tense, drawn out cat and mouse game with a very rewarding ending although it came at a cost for one of the characters. i'm pissed i havent heard of this anime before, i found it from a shitty youtube video.
>>3420
after i watch cyber city this will come next, i haven't fully watched the anime before and i'm shocked they have the full thing on youtube. the manga was nice because of the etherial, dreamlike nature with a humorous tone and a biting edge, one of my favorite parts of the manga besides the one where the dad picks up the flame thrower out of nowhere dispite being a lazy bitch is the one where the kids are leading a bunch of insects to the camps to be gassed and the kids leave to get ice cream. they decide to leave but one of the insects feels that if they stay somehow the cats will have humility and let them go, protip they don't lol. feels like the stupid stuff i used to do as a kid to my toys and reminds me of childhood. i also really like the way characters are drawn.

its on youtube too.
watched cat soup, its hard to put words overall on how to even explain my feelings on this but i guess its darker and more abstract then the actual manga, and it also lost the episodic stuff the manga had. thats not a bad quality at all, it has a more dreamlike quality and its great. i'm kind of reminded of the animated stuff from the pinl floyd wall movie but even that doesn't come close to cat soup. something that made me laugh is the sequence to the beginning where the kitten deflates one of the talking cats. i wonder what the ending means exactly, where everyone besides the one kitten dissapears?
While reading monster, a sequence where Mr. Lunge tries profile kenza by imitating Salaryman, "domo i am an asian man" reminds me of the stuff bullseye was doing in garth ennis's punisherMAX run where he was profiling frank castle by pretending to be him. he traveled to all the places frank went, including his secret hiding place and talking to himself like lunge does, but went the extra mile to go and kidnap several families and has them murdered to see how frank felt, to become him. it turns out he finally figured out that frank didn't give a fuck about his family, he learned by deduction that frank divorced his wife shortly before his family got killed. he wasn't motivated by their murder, he was motivated on them being gone so he can kill a fuck ton of niggers with no restrictions or baggage. i think lunge is motivated by the "thrill of the hunt" and is blined to tenma's innocence.

It was already linked on YouTube here >>3420, but the one you posted is AI upscaled crap for some reason... Do you not notice all the artifacts? Anyway, just use the Nyaa link to get the high-quality version without the AI upscaling.
>>3459
I finally finished monster. It was long, but the length was justified. Most action movies havd a sappy ending where everything works out, the bad guy is killed and the hero gets the girl and whatever, but it wasn't the case for this story it's fucking perfect. So many people suffered and some of the characters had decent endings but for tenma, its bitter sweet since he has to save johan yet again only for him to run off. Monster reminds me of a hitchcock film for some reason. Either way it was great while it lasted and i can see why it's a classic.
the next anime i'll be watching is the sub version of ghost stories, and i'll read the devilman manga.
Alright niggers, i'm not giving up on my dreams. I bought a nice pair of nippers, and i'll buy some more tools and start actually building my model kits. I've taken too long somewhat because of being busy but at the same time, was afraid to splurge some shekels on a nice nipper, and some extra tools along with being a lazy bitch BUT NO LONGER.

Happy Halloween! Black cats are good talkers!
last night i watched venom: the last dance. my phone as the ability to record radio but uses a strange audio type and i don't know how to convert it to regular mp3 so here it is, on catbox. https://files.catbox.moe/7na5xa.aac
>>3594
i forgot to mention i was at a drive-in theatre, you have to tune in to a radio frequency in order to hear the audio and they label what channel you have to use when you buy a ticket. i might have been stupid and uploaded the wrong file so in any case

Those stupid fucking translators of one piece fucked up so bad. I just realised in the anime that "rafta" was supposed to be LAUGH TALE and because of those stupid fucks i was left scratching my head for ages. Also even now in the year 2024 in the manga "zoro" is translated to "zolo" even though its an easy fix they just kept it that way for so long? And another thing, so in the current water 7 arc a dude gets a rock thrown at him by another worker because they where supposed to extinguish a fire but WAY EARLY ON in skypea a scene happens where a girl gets a rock thrown at her but they cencored it with a fucking tomato, killing any emotional impact the scene was supposed to have, keep in mind this was from the """offical""" anime not the shitty 4kids dub. I guess it's kind of funny but honestly its bullshit, i already bought six volumes of the manga but i'll probably skip it till they release a better translation in the future and i still am enjoying the anime for now, but i am hoping they pull off the new one coming out and i'll skip out on the old anime in a heart beat.
>>3600
It's still watchable and i still enjoy it, especially with cp9 literally being the cia but i just feel in my gut sometimes that i know that if there was a better translator team, better artists or even just a better translation of the manga then you'd have real fucking gold. Also i really do like the voice actors of the dub, the one who plays luffy though is a real hit or miss.

^^^this is exactly what a vietnamese person looks like.
I was slightly joking with "can't take it seriously". It's a typical vietnam story. Some of the writing is good and i really like the juxtaposition of cute animals, he military and realism. Also, i had no god damn clue the japanese and other people got involved in vietnam.

Sogeking is one of the best things to happen in the one piece anime. The musical opening with the toei tokusatsu visuals is exclusive to the anime and i fucking love it. Checking out the storyline in the manga, the appearance of sogeking is less dramatic with him just muttering the song to himself.
I like the japanese version better with the way LOCK ON was shouted but the english version is still great. The english voice actor has a great sogeking voice and i like the auditory transition between usopp and sogeking.
happy halloween everyone! i've been watching the 1970's alien movie. other then that its been uneventful.
I bought street fighter 30th anniversary collection. it's 13 games from the series, all of which i haven't played. i have read about the series in the nintendo power magazine but i never really could snag a copy for ages. Played a tiny bit of one of the games at the arcade, but now i have all of them. Will be fun to actually check out the series with my own eyes.

does anyone here participate in no Nostalgia Critic November? Just curious... I need to come up with some bold
strategies to trick people

what are you even talking about?

Fuuck dude, glad I'm not the only one. I really thought I'd be able to do it this year, but I'm struggling. Caught myself lingering by the ties at the supermarket yesterday

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England’s overthrow.
But, by God’s providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James’s sake!
If you won’t give me one,
I’ll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn’orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
i'm gonna buy taiko rhythm festival for the switch, the other games are too pricy for my liking and rhythm festival is like 24 bucks on amazon, i'm curious how it's gonna work without the expensive taiko switch drums, i saw a few vids online of people using the joycons without problems, and also i think someone mentioned using the buttons which is also fine. i'm happy atleast that its still possible to buy a physical copy and i'm still pissed at myself for not buying a copy for 10 bucks at walmart when i saw it. such is life.
i guess something that comes to mind is that im slowly gathering games they had at the arcade, which is comfy because not only i can train, but if i don't have access to the arcade, i'll have a little slice of it at home. ( ● 3●)
i was thinking about it and if i had to learn karate again, i might go and learn japanese kenpo instead of the american version i was taught, or fukin jujutsu or just judo
even though i trained since i was 4, i feel like i made a major mistake by just abandoning it when i was 16 when i got my black belt, like maybe i should have kept training every day? what if my training is all gone? like if it isn't like riding a bike where all it takes is a little test drive and then you'll remember everything?
i guess all of a sudden i feel nostalgic. part of my problem is i didn't take it too seriously till i was maybe 9 years old, i got distracted by normalnigger bullshit like wanting to make friends or whatever nonsense and i kinda realised it was actually valuable stuff i was pissing away, guess you cant fault a dumb kid but still.
>>3686
My game is going to take a fucking month to come in??????????
Anyhow taiko is being launched in america, i wonder if they will still keep the old one at my arcade? also i found this on youtube, this is how babby formed? https://youtube.com/watch?v=rJ0yycGGOKc [Play]
https://taiko.ani-nya.com/
someone must have ported the mobile app version of taiko to a web app, i guess other versions hosted by other people got takem dowm by namco lol.
They have quite a few RPGmaker games on the switch shop like AO ONI, and IB
>>3733
They also ported a game that was only on steam
Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk and part two of that game.
It's a psychological horror game that was supposed to be high quality stuff. I saw a playthrough ages ago and its kind of nice that it was ported.
god dammit i thought desert punk ended in volume 13 but i guess publication ended in 2020, it's been a while so maybe i should check it out again and maybe it'll have a better ending.
