I'll be going through the DLC of Elden Ring this weekend with a friend. His skill level is well above mine, so we tend to fare pretty well against most of the enemies in the game.

As far as which one forced me to adjust and learn the genre, Bloodborne for sure. I played DS1 and DS2 relatively close to their respective releases, and I always did slow exploration with the biggest shield I could find. Bosses tended to be almost more luck than skill. Then Bloodborne came out and I had to actually learn to dodge, especially once I got to the DLC. Over my first three playthroughs I learned skills that have helped me in every soulslike I have played since.

Honorable mention to Sekiro, though. Took a bit for that one to click, but once it did I had a blast. Unfortunately the skillset there is not quite as transferrable.

Looks fantastic!

I'm not a mod, but I've seen other kits posted here. I think the usual recommendation is to tag non-gundam kits in the title, like what you did.

Lemmy just isn't big enough to have a bunch of hyper specific model kit communities.

It is very much Reddit-style humor, for the most part. Carl's inner struggle takes place across several books, but I remember being a bit bored of him as a character in the first couple. Jeff Hays narration is what kept me listening, that and a desire to know what happened next.

Ultimately, I have had a surprising amount of fun with the series and don't have any issue recommending it to people, especially in audiobook form. That said, some people just won't like it, and that is okay.

Eden emulator has been working well with every game I have thrown at it. The newest release I have tried is Pokémon Legends Z-A.

The IP rule is mildly frustrating, but as far as I have experienced the other rules are pretty standard for private trackers. The no mobile seeding thing is something I've never considered, though, so that may or may not be an issue elsewhere.

Could be an abbreviation for "constable"?

What I understand of it is that it is more for printing replacement parts (non-electronic) and general understanding of the controller

Edit: Having finally downloaded the files, it is just the exterior. Probably couldn't print any replacement parts, although the .stp files would get you close. Definitely just for designing accessories (and printing adorable tiny Steam controllers)

As somebody who enjoys all 3 games immensely, you don't strictly have to play Miles Morales. You'll be missing some of his character growth that continues throughout 2, but a lot of the broad strokes you can pick up from context.

That said, I highly recommend playing Miles Morales.

They just released content for Neon Genesis Evangelion this year, they released several movies for it between 2009 and 2021, and the original series released in 1995, so I'd say it matches long running and still active.

Not sure about Hollow Knight, though. The first game released in 2017, they released additional content for it over a few years, and then the new game released last year. I don't think I'd count that as long running, personally, but you made the thread.

I meant to say Z-A. My bad. Arceus didn't really hold my attention, likely for the reason you mention.

It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends: Arceus Z-A (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.

Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.

Legends: Arceus Z-A has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.

Edit: Looking back, both times I meant to say Z-A I said Arceus. Whoops.

I have favorites from every generation, but I'll try to narrow it down to a few:

• Growlithe
• Specifically Spiky-eared Pichu
• Umbreon
• Zoroark
• Clodsire

I have a lot more favorites, and don't even get me started on legedaries and mythicals. I used to be really big into collecting those.
