I find it mildly funny that people in my home country (TW) rave about China-Oel and buy loads of it when they travel to Germany, while people there probably have never even heard of it, and prefer using Tiger Balm which is super common in Asia.

Persona 5 is a JRPG where you role play as a high school student, who was transferred to a high school far from home in Tokyo due to being expelled…

Blocking + Algorithms feeding things similar to your taste is already forming an echo chamber. Bluesky with it’s community driven block lists and starter packs makes this much easier too.

It can be a good thing or bad. Just depends on what you want out of the platform.

Finished this game recently. Took me about 30 hours, which includes getting every collectible and upgrades in the game.

The only game I’ve played that is similar to this is Hollow Knight, which although could be extremely hard when it wants to, most of the main game is not as brutal as Nine Sols.
TBH, it’s really frustrating when you keep dying over and over on the same enemy. But when you finally nail down the movements and parry timings, it’s pretty satisfying to see yourself come out of a fight you were struggling before with minimal damage.
For that reason, I hope that they implement a boss rush mode that lets you go back and fight previous bosses without having to go through the entire game again.

Other than that, the music and atmosphere is pretty decent. I enjoyed the story a lot and the way they use manga panels to tell it throughout. Very glad I played this game.

Edit: Boss rush mode is now in the game!

Flooding the market with unfinished buildings? Are you on crack or something? You have to actually finish it to call it “housing”. And again, those property were built to be sold, and they weren’t going to undersell them. Leaving both the buyer and the constructor with no money is not called a “sound strategy”.

Am I talking to a brick wall or what?

They’re not building apartments to give out to homeless people for free here. People actually had to pay for those properties and were scammed.

There’s another side to this. “Pre-planning” without proper forecast led to the housing crisis we are seeing today in China, with one of the largest developers in China Evergrande defaulting and filing for bankruptcy. A lot of people who were promised a good property and sunk their life savings into the project, now have no choice but to live in unfinished buildings in ghost towns without electricity nor water.
