Early access means getting access to the game prior to its 1.0 release. It also usually means you can provide feedback to the dev(s) and help shape the game’s development. EA games can also be priced less than their 1.0 launch price.

Shortcomings of the system are mainly that there’s no guarantee the game will be finished or the dev may just slap 1.0 on it and call it done, despite it being in an unfinished state.

I don’t know if there’s a way to “fix” the system and I think it works well for the most part. I think people need to not buy into hype so quickly and also be aware that they’re buying an unfinished product that has no guarantee of actually being completed.

Good communication is sexy regardless of how your brain works.

I think the things I liked the most about OnK were how it focused on relationships between the characters and Aqua generally playing 4D chess. The showbiz theme was interesting, but I could take it or leave it. I’ll also say I was fortunate enough to go in more or less blind.

I’ve seen Mushoku Tensei and the following and enjoyed them, but I’ll check out the others:

Thank you.

I finished Oshi No Ko s3 and now I’m sad because it will be some time before s4 releases. I’m not really into dramas, but enjoyed this one; is there anything else similar?

Witch Hat Atelier was a good one that released recently.

MC-kun is frequently a skinny kid with shaggy hair, boring and unrelatable. I know they’re oftentimes supposed to be self inserts, but meh.

Check out Unicorn Overlord. It’s been touted as the spiritual successor to Ogre Battle, and I agree.

Everything is polarizing nowadays and people like to talk in hyperbole. If something isn’t the best, it’s the worst. Mid = bad.

JJK is more or less your standard shounen show, but the action scenes keep me interested.

The other comments have good suggestions, but I’ll Add Rogue Squadron. Ogre Battle 64 is also good if you like strategy RPGs.

The only thing Goldeneye had better was higher framerate. And yes, I played against bots for countless hours. Except DarkSims. They were cheaters.

I didn’t even make it that far. I got 20ish episodes in and the egregious fanservice turned me off. From what I heard it only gets worse.

Not enough mecha anime gets produced nowadays. It’s pretty barren outside of Gundam every couple years.

I remember those days. I learned some interesting things about my family when I would get bored and dig through the web browser cache.

Why would you keep your “anime” someplace your mom could find it?

90% of House episodes

Yep. I still call it “G-quacks” because it makes me giggle.

Ah yes, Xarx-Zero, pronounced “Alex-Zero”, with the Zero Gundam. Not to be confused with:

-0 Gundam (pronounced oh)

-00 Gundam

-The O

-Wing Gundam Zero

-Gundam Alex

And this is part of the RG Project, not to be confused with RG (Real Grade) model kits! My guess is the designers were discussing over beers how confusing they could make the naming scheme and still have the execs sign off on it.

…Just Monika?

I definitely prefer the more serious tone of SAC, but I’ll keep watching this new series and see how it goes.
