That's for the fancy $200 'pro' ps5 controller, not the standard one. Also, at 20 bucks per stick, replacing both is most of the price of a standard controller even if they're compatible.

Agree switch is easy and well worth it though, 3rd party replacements with hall sensor are pretty affordable and an upgrade.

I mean, that is why I said it depends on the controller, he didn't say which one he had

Just my observation on a backwater server:

PUGs are basically dead here.

As far as group/LS stuff I feel like I'm the odd man out these days. Maybe it's my server but it's hard to get anything done.

You take a hiatus and it puts you behind everyone. With new content being 6 man everyone already has their pre-established groups with little wiggle room.

Feels bad man. Not asking for a carry, I'm reasonably geared. I just feel like a third wheel at times.

If only you could take more than 6 to an event so when someone takes a break or quits, the rest of the group doesnt have to start from scratch.

But you know, thats bad, because Asura is full of RMT mercs.

I doubt it will

MAYBE if they had kept up in increasing ilvl, there would be something to show for it, but everything from 2014 onwards is ilvl 119.




The easiest thing to report would be their ilvl, but both of these items are 119. This was just the easiest and quickest example.

Not to mention, you cant snapshot someones gearset because this game is so heavily dependent on swapping equipment around.

Parties were difficult to get together from day one. When I left trusts were already a thing BECAUSE parties were even harder to get.

Yep. I had iL 117 & 119 stuff when I left.

Of course they didn't really stop at iL 119, they introduced power creep somewhere in there. My 119 pieces would be obsolete today and probably not upgradable.

And they plan on doubling up on trusts.

But also create something like party finder.

I watched Frieren.

Now I need more Frieren.

But there's no more Frieren except in Manga format until Madhouse gets moving.

I read it's already in the works.

But I want it now............................... T_T

Im just finishing a Love Hina-like manga today.

It was almost 5 months since the last manga i finished i think?

Time really flies since i restarted Palworld, i kinda dropped the manga just reading this one here and there. 90 mid sized chapter in 5 months was super slow

Why is this guy in the video calling Jesus for "falling in love with 12 in anime?" Lol.

Jesus is a jew. In biblical times ancient Jew males often marry girls as young as 12. Because age 12 is considered "puberty" at that time. People's sense of age was different back then. Marry at 12-13 was normal, and average life expectancy was like 35-38.

So basically, calling Jesus does nothing, he lived in an era that marry at 12 was normal.

Panta you need a history and biological lesson! This video is doesn't know ***about human biology/history ;< better video plz.

Yo, you leave my waifus alone bro. The anime industry has been enjoying mildly inappropriate attention from males with poor social skills that confuse real women with anime girls since.. the inception of anime.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Maybe an attempt to make the thing more specific so people can quickly get whats the thing.

For example, for Love-hina-like, I would mean a romcom (romance-comedy) situations around a boarding house and daily occurences.

Probably what justify having such specific tag would be the sheer amount of stories that reuse those concepts. Personally i think I already read like 4 or 5 stories that are completely based in Love Hina

Though, when I said Love Hina, its mostly because it was the firstone I saw in that genre.

I know at least Maison Ikoku pre-dates it, but I only read that way later.

I already know age of consent being 12 was the case in 1275 England. ┐(´ー`)┌

https://chnm.gmu.edu/cyh/teaching-modules/230.html#:~:text=The%20French%20Napoleonic%20code%20provided,of%20consent%20of%2011%20years.

Quote:
An age of consent statute first appeared in secular law in 1275 in England as part of the rape law. The statute, Westminster 1, made it a misdemeanor to "ravish" a "maiden within age," whether with or without her consent. The phrase "within age" was interpreted by jurist Sir Edward Coke as meaning the age of marriage, which at the time was 12 years of age.

So it's not unreasonable to assume in another anime fantasy world the age of consent is the same as certain era in rl history. Anime fantasy worlds are often based on rl middle ages, after all.

Don't struggle Panta, those excuses are perfectly legit.

You can't argue with historical facts, so you played the police card.

WEAK! ;)

I am confused, are you saying you think Frieren looks 12? I dont get that.

She is nothing like the poster "children" of that argument:
rory mercury from Gate
or
shinobu from monogatari


She is more like Rebecca from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, just a small build and flat chest.
