I didn't knew Summer Sale 2021 cards would expire so soon (usually it stays for 1 month).

I LOST 10+ cards which I was about to make a badge, which I also didn't get.

Adjusting to a busy job is not easy

:wd_rain:
Weird, I still have mine, they expire 09/08/2021

This is way out there for this community, but bear with me for a second here: you could play video games.
I had this routine to play games early in the morning with my morning coffee before school started, I'm still in that, playing during the day I get super restless. That said, I am playing Like A Dragon!:D

So do celebs over here but i think studios over here are more likely to say "Fair enough, we'll carry on without you then." and assign a new talent though i'm sure series have been scrapped due to celeb likeness or ego issues plenty of times in the west too.

I think I recall Patrice Desilets saying in some interview few years back that they killed Kristen Bell's character in Assassin's Creed because she was getting too difficult to work with or expensive or something. Details are a bit hazy.

If Sega wanted to, they could make the next Jydgement game with a new protag, after all they just succesfully switched the protag in Yakuza too.

Don't voice actors, or "Seiyuus", have insanely huge influence in Japan?
They do but Kimutaku isn't just a VA, Yagami is modeled after him and apparently he has been involved in the game since its inception so they probably can't even think of recasting him.

They could but that would be kinda shitty story wise since Judgment revolves around a particular detective agency. I don't want another "Apollo Justice", just make a new series with similar themes. Yakuza took over a decade to move on from Kiryu and Kamurocho.

Insert obligatory post of me bitching about Persona 5 Royal here
We have SaGa games and SMT3 on steam

Why debase oneself with Persona anymore? :sf_quackd:
It's so easy when you play WoW. You never have to think "what should I do with my spare time today?" because the answer is always "play WoW"
:D
Though if one ever did
One would realize they should be playing FF14 instead :smart-thinking-blob:

they value steam so much they made Sonic Colours egsclusive

:toucan:
Unfortunately the cynic in me believes this is part of the reasoning behind sega (jp in this particular case) valuing PC so much. There is so many potential deals that could be made down this avenue. From Stadia exclusive deals delaying PC releases (ie Samurai Showdown), to Gamepass deals to all of our favourites in the form of EGS deals.

And they may also sell it to some customers.

I blame my age for being such a cynical old bastard.

Although I would love to believe they value us as customers.

As a big WoW player, do you confirm the feeling I got from random people on the Internet, that modern WoW is very much geared toward raids and offer little to a casual player who think ‘Tank Swap’ is someone’s idea of hell ?

In related topic, I very much would like to play WoW, FO76, even retry SWTor. But then I remember I’m 42 and I don’t shit hours in the day :sweaty-blob:

I gotta love how there are 2 faces of the same coin with this Judgment drama.

1st face is the players who want everyone to enjoy the amazing games that are Judgment and stand against Johnny's

2nd face is the players who I guess don't know how to read and point PC players as the culprits of this position while SEGA is saying that PC is a key piece for their financials implying that either we should buy a console for Judgment (lol) or stop complaining.

First group clapping
Second group can go fuck themselves, too much for "gamers united" shit they love, huh?

O FOLLAMOS TODOS O LA PUTA AL RIO!

Don't know why will people blame PC players for this. PC players getting the blame while doing nothing and unable to play the game. There are also people who be like "Who cares about Steam, just continue the series for consoles", like they don't realize that Sega can profit more with the same investment if they are able to do simultaneous multiplatform release.

the funny thing is, two close friends of mine play it and I could probably play with them. but FF14 never appealed to me... dont crucify me, but Japanese games rarely do. Resident Evil (after Revelations) are a rare exception.

Raids dont really exist in my WoW playing. I figure I will do the easiest mode - Raid Finder, where you can automatically group up with randoms and it still somehow works - at some point to see the content, but I have no interest in the timesink that is raiding. I usually just level characters and do solo stuff, sometimes 5 man dungeons.

And yep, the time problem is especially bad for MMOs. There is a huge grind to be done if you wanna use flying mounts, and each expansion makes you grind for flying in that expansion

And unlike with an exclusivity deal no one is gonna cover those potential sales.

Me: I vow to stop wasting money on stupid things

Also me:
I have one of those books the CRPG.

Also the Judgement stuff seems quite speculative. No reason to flip out just yet.

I'm looking at you Mor .:grinning-face:
not speculative but from a gossip publication so not really something I would get without grains of salt just in case.

EDIT: Also, it's summer and I feel like shit so it's absolutely normal to feel tired about everything.

I tend to get the Strategy Guide or ArtBook for some games when i get the pre-order so i have a bunch of them. Very handy though they're usually out-of-date damned quickly due to GameFAQs and other walkthrough and guide sites but i still like having them. Love my FFXV and XCX Books for example and some of the guides i have in storage must be 10 years old or so by now. Might be a handy retirement fund in 20 years! :D
