Forspoken has one of the best battle and movement gameplay systems in gaming, or at the very least in the “power fantasy sandbox” genre. Its story and dialogue are also a very cute, earnest take on Isekai that didn’t deserve the backlash they got. It has its flaws but it’s absolutely nowhere close to being the utter cringe-fest and terrible game that people like Asmongold successfully convinced the rest of the internet it was (because it has a female POC protagonist, basically). Personally, as someone who wanted to live the ultimate elemental wizard power-fantasy in a game since I was a child, Forspoken gave me everything I wanted and more (like cats! Lots of adorable cats).

If you like Prototype and JRPGs you should check out Forspoken, which would be my pick for this thread. The bad reviews and memes were just gamergate bullshit. Despite its flaws, it’s the ultimate wizard power fantasy, with movement and combat that to me felt like a refined and even more fun/complete version of what we got from games like Prototype, Crackdown and Saints Row 4. Once you begin unlocking multiple magic types and get into the flow of switching them around on the fly it really provides some of the best and most satisfying gameplay I remember in my 30+ years of gaming.

The Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. The main reason they stopped was that Apple was doing glass/metal phones without replaceable anything that still sold like pancakes, so Samsung moved to glass-back phones with the S6 and the rest of the OEMs eventually followed suit.

That’s not true though, and I don’t regret buying it. You can make shaved ice, milkshakes, froyo, sorbets, and (basically) actual ice cream or gelato with a fraction of the work compared to an ice cream maker.

The only issue I have isn’t with the machine itself but the way people online are promoting it as only what you’re describing. You can absolutely use traditional ice cream or gelato recipes, which I did to pretty awesome results after I realized I wouldn’t find that sort of content on YouTube. As long as you have the proportions down for fats, thickeners and sugars, the consistency is almost indistinguishable from the traditional counterpart. You can also find a ton of cool or even gourmet recipes for Pacojet and adjust them for the Creami.

It’s a pretty fun machine that actually opens up a lot of options for desserts and culinary experimentation. My point was that the actual waste of 170$ is buying it only to make frozen versions of protein shakes (which will at best always end up as “fancy shaved ice” like you said because those recipes lack the ingredient ratios of actual ice cream).

Slightly OT, but I bought a Ninja Creami a couple years ago, excited about all the crazy ice cream recipes and experiments I would find online. Little did I know that 99% of content creators with a Ninja Creami only make disgusting looking protein powder ice cream over and over and over. What’s the recipe for chocolate ice cream? Chocolate protein powder. And for vanilla ice cream? Vanilla protein powder. And for strawberry ice cream? Strawberry protein powder, of course. And so on.

I have nothing against adding protein to your diet/recipes but this is just ridiculous at this point.

Democracy tends to come with law systems and due process to prevent this from happening. Unlike, you know, Nazism.

Oh wow, who knew. The whole thread simply shouldn’t exist then.

It’s an insanely boring game with no depth. To each their own, but calling it a “really good game” is as much of a stretch as calling it “shit”. To me it felt like a Hogwarts walking simulator with a bunch of basic unrelated minigames stuck onto it, marketed as an open world action rpg. The combat was insulting.
