peffy

These gifs/videos make me infinitely more interested in No Man's Sky.. The only things stopping me are a. first-person point of view b. $80 price tag in Canada c. no time to play It's definitely something I'd try out for $20-30 tho. I'd name every planet and creature with PEFF somewhere in the name so you KNOW I was there.

These phrases frequently appear in my thoughts 痛っっっってぇぇぇ なんだそれ? 五月蠅ぇぇぇ うぜぇぇぇ えぇぇ… 嫌嫌嫌嫌嫌嫌嫌 as you can see, I am frequently annoyed by things

lol here, have a rough translation. "This is Issei of BugLug. Sorry for making everyone worry about me. I don't remember anything about the accident, but somehow I am still living. I want to sing again at ASOVIVA so please give me a little more time. No matter what happens, I will return. Thank you."

wowowow Never really got super into this band, but I appreciated that they had a different sound from most other VK I listen to. I do enjoy CHISA's voice, will check out whatever he does next. The announcement & members' comments are here.

^ The only band I ever even HEARD of is THE BACK HORN. I remember checking them out when I was first getting into Japanese music. Can't say I liked them very much, haha. I listened to that LOW-PASS song on Youtube, sounds pretty cool but I really prefer music with vocals. Here's my shuffle (using my ENTIRE iTunes library) 01 NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST - Rise above 02 ACO - 真正ロマンティシスト (Shinsei Romanticist) 03 ゴールデンボンバー (Golden Bomber) - Please!×3 04 中島卓偉 (Nakajima Takui) - さらけだす (Sarakedasu) 05 JASMINE - #AGARU 06 ALI PROJECT - LOST CHILD 07 畠山美由紀 (Hatakeyama Miyuki) - Dream a little dream of me 08 Jay-Z - Streets is Watching 09 己龍 (Kiryu) - 蹲 (Tsukubai) 10 三浦大知 (Miura Daichi) - Super Star Man, this is a pretty tough call. I SUUUPER love those 3 highlighted songs. It's a surprisingly good mix, considering it was shuffling ~20000 songs... (lol @ surprise 90s Jay-Z appearing in between all the Japanese stuff) Ended up disqualifying JASMINE because of her usage of a hashtag in the title T_T but it's a really good pop/dance song. Tsukubai is one of my all-time fave Kiryu songs, but Kiryu is really popular in this forum so I went with the one people would be less familiar with... ACO. I LOVE this period of ACO's career. Her genres went like.. pop/soul -> trip-hop -> Bjorkish -> mellow stuff? adult contemporary? acoustic pop? i dunno Shinsei Romanticist is from the trip-hop period, and is one of the best examples of her ethereal voice and wide range.

This footage is from Berseria's demo (now available on Japanese PSN) They SOMEHOW managed to fuck up the battles even worse than Zestiria's camera issues. Hopefully this is fixed in the full game... ...aside from this hilarious mess, I've seen mostly positive impressions of the combat and characters (along with complaints about the graphics looking exactly like Zestiria but with better framerate). That hoverboard thing looks cool. I'll try out the demo during the weekend. EDIT Had a block of spare time so I played the demo just now. Didn't manage to get a glitchy battle stage like in the video. I'm actually rather impressed. The characters seem amusing, so far. I actually LOL'ed once. Battles and exploration seem way more fun than Zestiria. Skits are more dynamic than before (more like a comic, where it frequently swaps to different "panels") and it really adds life to them. The hoverboard thing is super cool, you seamlessly jump on/off it by holding down/releasing R2, and it's such a relief to be able to zoom around quickly after the Windstepping BS in Zestiria. The game seems to look a lot nicer than Zestiria probably due to the 60fps. I MIGHT ACTUALLY drop the cash to get this day one...

I googled this for you. You may find this interesting http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/38606/what-gave-terrific-a-positive-connotation tl;dr It is similar to how words like bad, sick, or wicked have a positive connotation in modern slang usage. But in the case of terrific, it happened in the late 1800s and the "slang" meaning eventually became the default definition. If you read older literature you can still see original uses of the word, such as "a terrific headache" or "a terrific roar".

I've seen mostly negative opinions of We Happy Few so far. Mostly because the gameplay is "nothing like the trailer suggested". It's actually one of those survival games where you have to constantly worry about hunger/thirst/sleep. Granted, it's currently in alpha (early access I guess) with zero story content, so I understand why people are put off by it right now. (personally, it is not at all the kind of game I would enjoy) I think I know how to "finish" it in two minutes. Saw it in a gameplay video. -very minor early spoilers- So yeah, you're not really "finishing" the game. As for Lost Soul Aside.. I think the blue.. sword trails?... are way too intense. WAY too intense. It obscures half the screen. But, this is also not really my kind of game. (though I have played or bought similar games)

oh, well if you're gonna be IN Japan (lucky you!!!) ,.. maybe you can order it while you're there (have it delivered to your hotel/wherever you're staying) ? and there's maybe a small chance they'll sell it at the live .. ?

Wow, they REALLY want people to buy both versions...

Well, I'm sure you can use a shopping service to order it for you. However that will likely bring the total cost up to.. like 4000-5000 yen. I'm not willing to pay that much for one song...

My upcoming MUST-PLAY game schedule for the rest of the year Aug 18 - Tales of Berseria (depending on impressions, might wait for price drop or English release) Aug 30 - Project Diva X (wait for price drop?) Sep 30 - FF 15 (pre-ordered, will play ASAP) Oct 11 - Dragon Quest Builders (will wait for price drop) Oct 25 - World of FF (pre-ordered, might cancel and wait for price drop) Dec 6 - South Park (pre-ordered, will play ASAP) Dec 8 - Yakuza 6 (tempting, but I need extended breaks between Yakuza games and I still have to play Kiwami...) in between all of that, there's my massive backlog staring at me and making me feel guilty why did you buy us if you won't play us why

I've been racking my brain since you posted this, but I can't remember the name of the chat room I frequented. It was definitely Japanese themed, but I think it was smaller than the main rooms. This was prob around 2004-2006. I went by either peffy or peff. I spent A LOT of time in there, and was probably one of the more well-known/popular people in that room... so if I never spoke directly with you, you may have spoken to my old friends ^^ "One More Bourbon" is easily my fave Port of Notes song. Admittedly I never got way into any of their other songs. I really really loved Miyuki's album Reflection, and her cover/collab album わたしのうた As for EGO-WRAPPIN', my faves would be .. あしながのサルヴァドール, 憐れみのプレリュード, 色彩のブルース, 老いぼれ犬のセレナーデ Man I should really spend more time listening to these artists, I've been neglecting them =_=

I have World of FF pre-ordered, but I still think the not-chibi-but-not-quite-realistically-proportioned main characters are creepy as shit.

#teamSansa She's not my favourite character, but her execution of Ramsay got her a lot of points with me. Proud to have her as a Libra!

Hmm, I suppose it gets more Twilight-ish towards the end of each character arc (if you get the good ending). Can't really say, because I haven't seen/read anything of Twilight, but I'm guessing it's super romantic and ... sparkly. But yeah.. before it gets romantic, the heroine has a REALLY rough time. She gets her blood sucked from basically everywhere on her body (often to the point of passing out or getting ill from anemia), kissed against her will, put into embarrassing situations in public, verbally abused, and forcibly confined. Eventually she gets used to this treatment and somehow makes the vampire love her (because she's soooo sweet and innocent and supportive and caring and insert stereotypical anime girl trait).

Wow, right after I decide I will buy all their new releases. *puts money back in wallet* Such a shame. I felt that they were steadily improving. I will paste his blog post here, in case it disappears later. Interestingly, he mentions that he was "hospitalized for depression", I don't know if that was known before. He takes full responsibility & blame for not appearing at lives.

Orion looks a bit too young for me ^^;;; However, there's an older version of him in Amnesia World who looks pretty. "Nova". Can't remember a damned thing about the story though. Including whether or not he was a romance option... I suffered through played 3 of those games... (well, I skipped through the storylines of the guys I wasn't interested in.) Those games are... hmm.. recommended if you are a total masochist.. which I'm not.. so I mostly found the heroine irritating and was constantly shocked as to how she could fall in love with these guys, aside from the fact that most of them are really pretty. She gets nicknames like Chichinashi (No-Breasts/Flat Chest), Bitch-chan, Mesubuta (female pig). Most of the games consist of reading short scenarios that are basically about the various ways she gets sexually assaulted (never mind that she's only supposed to be 17). There's also a mild undertone of incest. Anyway, if you MUST play, I'd recommend only the first game, cuz the rest of them add too many characters and have a way crappier main storyline.

Ah well, most opinions I've heard seem to match what I'm thinking re: competing directly with PS4/XB1. They're not making a dedicated home console. It looks like they're banking on their domination of the handheld market by making a device that is, first and foremost, a handheld, and including the dock as a way of letting people play on their TVs if they want to. The biggest benefit of the NX is that Nintendo no longer has to split their games between two systems. Even if the dock provides more power, there is a huge issue with getting console games ported to the NX - the added complexity of programming games to run on NX's probably-underpowered non-x86 handheld, and then having to code them to take advantage of the dock's power so they run better. From a developer standpoint, it doesn't look like work that's worth doing... Some of them were already complaining about having to accommodate Neo & Scorpio, which is theoretically way easier than coding for NX. However, I can see a future where a lot of Japanese devs support PS4 and NX, leaving out XB1 entirely... or maybe even just going full NX. The 3DS has so many monster exclusive IPs that would probably show up as NX exclusives. Nintendo can rest easy by relying on those games without ever worrying about getting the latest GTA, COD, FF etc etc. Anyway, yes, all based on rumours (although these are pretty credible rumours). But, interesting to think about.

But the Eurogamer article says so, it sounds like you won't get your easily-modded OS future... (unless this particular source is wrong) Yeah, it seems unlikely a Tegra can produce graphics comparable to PS4/XB1. As I understand it, Tegra chips are designed for mobile devices, which means balancing pure power with conserving battery life. And the current Tegra is, apparently, 1/3 as powerful as the PS4. But yeah, it is possible that the "dock" will provide extra graphical power. In any case, it would make sense if Nintendo just continued doing what it ended up doing in this gen.. forgoing the AAA third-party console space almost entirely, and just relying on their first-party/exclusive games. As the Wii U has proven, they can still make amazing-looking, high quality games without the raw power of the other consoles. As for the portable side, the Vita is 5 years old and, sadly, a non-factor, so Nintendo only has to compete with smartphones... then again, they have Pokemon Go and whatever other future mobile games, so they're not really...competing...

Haha, that's not likely... the only other music forum I ever joined/read/posted in was Kyo Music City, and that was primarily a download site. I don't remember where I learned about Port of Notes/Miyuki and EGO-WRAPPIN'.. when I was getting into Japanese music I found a couple of small websites by J music fans dedicated to their favourite music. Those two might've been mentioned in one of those websites. ... oh actually, I used to chat a lot in a Soulseek chat room, got quite a few recommendations from people in there... not sure how I forgot that, lol I found Mayumi when I saw this Nintendo commercial on TV. Though it took me a long time to figure out who the artist was. Nikaido Kazumi seems really cool, I gotta make a note to check her stuff out!

So there's been a big leak about Nintendo NX http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-26-nx-is-a-portable-console-with-detachable-controllers So it's not REALLY a home console, it's a portable with the ability to hook up to a TV. This means hardware limitations, which I suppose indicates that they are once again not going to care much about third-party support or having the same AAA games as PS4/XB1.. ? Which is fine, if they want to focus on their core audience that is way into Nintendo's IPs & 3DS exclusives, which I presume would continue being exclusive to NX. (I was never going to buy an NX anyway, just posting this for information/discussion)

oh shit! temari !!! with a tentacle in his mouth!?! give me more

Quackenbush is a hell of a name (he's Valve's lawyer) Also, I'm amused that one of the gambling sites is called csgoatse.com I shouldn't be amused by that Anyway, glad to see Valve trying to put a stop to this nonsense, even if they waited for a major shitstorm before acting.
