Why has my misophonia been in remission for like 6 months and then back today with a vengeance?!

Neva has a button where you scream āNevaā how many other games have a button that just does the name of the game?

Lack of sleep or some other cognitive change? Thatās what does it for me. Clanking cutlery and chewing in particular drive me nuts when Iām tired.

Do you need to play Undertale before Deltarune?
No, but I do think you need to play Undertale at some point, either before or after. Theyāre a diptych more than a prequel and a sequel.

What are some good musou games?

Alright, letās do this.
Weāll start with vanilla flavor Dynasty Warriors:
So, Dynasty Warriors 3 is the Classic. Itās the one people are nostalgic for. I, personally, think 4 is better, though.
I skipped five, six, and seven. Dynasty Warriors 8 is fantastic, and if you were to play just one, Iād recommend that one. I donāt know 9, but I know people really hated it, so itās probably interesting.
Okay now letās get out of ancient China:
Samurai Warriors, the first one, I have a lot of fond memories of, but I couldnāt tell you if itās The One to Play.
Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3. 3 because itās the one I had; I imagine the others arenāt so different? More focus on your own created character and starts letting you order units around the field, something later musou games would expand on.
Crossovers:
Those Hyrule Warrior games are really very good. Age of Calamity might be the best musou game Iāve ever played?
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is very good. I think 3 is The Good One. Could be misremembering. I will also say that my One Piece exposure is very limited and I still thought this was a lot of fun.
If you want my second-year college musou game reading list, it would be:
Dynasty Warriors 4
Dynasty Warriors 8
Samurai Warriors
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

If you liked Persona 5, Strikers seems pretty good.
If you didnāt care for Persona 5, itās not that great. Partly due to the fact that the combat is actually pretty fun, but you have to wade through a swamp of P5 stuff to get there

You mentioning strikers in another thread is what got me asking. Iāve never played any Persona though.
I wouldnāt recommend it then. Itās a direct sequel to P5 and fully expects that youāve played that game. It wouldnāt be a big deal, but itās sort of narrative heavy and that could get pretty annoying if you had no idea who any of these characters are.

I havenāt played them for many years now, but I remember enjoying both Dynasty Warriors 2 and Dynasty Warriors 2: Empires.
The āEmpiresā games add a strategy world map layer on top of the musou combat levels, which ā at least at the time ā I thought was well done.
A true hardcore musou connoisseur will hate me for saying this but having played a bunch of em pretty mindlessly and having a blast, for me itās all the same but with different āskinsā (in a positive way)
So if you like Gundam for instance, thereās some Gundam Musous that are a blast!

Weāve got a lot of blogging energy (and some bloggers!) on this here forum so Iām wondering:
How do you decide what to write about video games? Do you just shoot from the hip when itās time to write something, remembering what you remember? Do you takes notes while playing? Do you try to be comprehensive with your thoughts or focus down on particular details? You do not have to answer all of these questions they are just for illustrative purposes.

i like this question iāve been thinking of writing about games again and havenāt for a long time but when i did it was from the hip just off of memory. taking notes definitely feels like the way to go because thereās so many things that happen, mechanics that may come and go, feelings you may forget, that could ultimately shape a much better full picture. it didnāt help my writing tended to focus on games i was intimately familiar with and had played many times over coupled with nostalgia, which certainly fogged elements that are worth pointing out and only focused on the good.
i once had a review section in my high schoolās newspaper for video games and i think the only time i wrote about a game was earthbound. it wasnāt very long, but it only sung itās praises, and frankly i really like to read peopleās negatives toward a game more than pros, i find them much more interesting, so if i do go forward in writing more about games again i want to take a larger scope on the cons of a game and flesh out why i donāt like it.

I watch a lot of recipe/cooking videos on youtube, and one of the common things is to show the host/cook eating whatever it is theyāve made at the end of the video. I guess to prove that it is actually edible?
Anyway, thereās something Iāve noticed from watching these ā and I figured our largely-American but still somewhat-worldwide userbase here could help me find clarity with. I have noticed particularly in videos of people from America when they are eating and using a knife and fork, they will put the knife down and swap hands with the fork. ie, it seems there is a strong preference or habit to only use oneās dominant hand. This seems bonkers to me. Iām right handed, hold the fork in my left and knife in my right. I cut with the right and then just use the fork in my left to eat.
Iāve only noticed this from American presenters, and commonly from them. Is this just the way everyone learns over there?
Knife and fork technique?
- Iām American and I swap hands
- Iām American and I do not swap hands
- Iām not American and I swap hands
- Iām not American and I do not swap hands

I have never noticed this! I do not swap hands, but Iām also left handed, so maybe my brain comes pre-swapped. Iāve just always done left hand fork right hand knife.
