I totally get what Garnt is saying about the nostalgia thing. Not only that, film easter eggs no longer feel like easter eggs. They’re practically forced down your throat.

@@ItisThatGuy exactly. perhaps its a perfectionism thing to get the most optimized build for each mission, but for the majority of the game (at least from what ive played), you can grind to meet the appropriate level. otherwise, if you're anything like me, you can cheese through turn based games while underleveled using items, skills that cover as many elements as possible, and cheesy util skills. its all on garnt if he wants to overcomplicate the game by reading guides. guides are only there for the people who want to use them and find pleasure in prepping.

I'm assuming he's the type who likes upbeat, uplifting battle themes, and while the Sky series has a very decent, nice collection of JRPG tracks (that I mostly associate with a very peaceful, tranquil feeling), I'd say the really strong, thrilling tracks start to pop up from the point of the Crossbell saga on, and since he only played the first two Sky games so far, he wouldn't even know what great variation the music this series can still offer.

for the trails thing garnt was going on about (around 1:30:00 ish) as someone who is 5 games in so far unless you play on the harder difficulties you dont need to mess with the builds too much, for the most part ive just messed around with equipment when i got somthing obviously better or as needed by area (anti poison item for area with tons of poison etc)

[@GoldenPincers]

I don't know if I'm the only one with that reaction, but I fail to understand their point and complaint about "complex" turn-based combat. To follow the games they mention, Fire Emblem and Trails, yes there are guides that go over "optimal builds" in detail, but... nobody said you need to follow these guides. Both franchises are perfectly beatable without using strategy guides, because the games themselves already teach you how to manage your combat. You can simply play the game as is, with some trial and error along the way. At worst, you'll look up how to beat a difficult chapter/boss. All I used guides for in Trails 1 was for 2 bosses and making sure I didn't miss any chest. I feel they let the surprise they had about some hyper-detailed guides cloud their judgment and make them believe you can't play the game without them. Please correct me if I sound way off.

[@AquaticIdealist]

Sounds about right. The main "complexity" of the older trails games is probably how one unlocks spells, but you can beat the game with almost any loadout as long as you make sure your physical damage is enough to smash things and you have decent coverage (some enemies have elemental weaknesses but even the "lower tier" spells can hit hard)

[@Yarzu555]

Did Garnt play Trails on nightmare or something? I don't remember having to get that crazy with the quartz. Once in a while you'll come across a boss that uses like... petrifying abilities so you use the "dont get petrified amulet" but thats about it.

As an italian who watches you from day 1, I can confirm we are too busy eating to let our voices be heard

[@kkuwura]

During that Fear & Hunger segment, after a while ALL of their descriptions just started to sound like how real life feels like. How “it’s not hard, you just have to know certain things”, and that as long as you’re lucky enough to have a guide (Connor’s twitch chat or a guide online) to tell you about things you could never have found out on your own, you can dramatically decrease your hardship. So often in life people are not happy or can’t seem to get a break all because they were not privileged enough to be born into stable conditions with enough material resources, stable families or environment to help them (or just give them avenues for salvation) or they just didn’t have any way to get prior information about things and had to brutally go through trial and error to survive when if they had that one thing that so many other people are privileged enough to have, they wouldn’t have need to have suffered for however many years. That is IF they survive, cuz the majority that are dealt a shitty hand just end up in the absolute gutter with no one to help them. No government, no family, no society, no friends. I know it’s just a game but it just hit me way too hard. But imagine, the boys and many others feel stressed and just immediately don’t want to play that game just hearing the descriptions, being stuck to that basically just being your whole entire life… feels soul-crushing Just started listening to the rest of the game’s description with that analogy to life in mind and it’s fun (/s) to realize how accurate it is

Garnt, what on earth are you doing in Trails? 😂I slot in some quartz at the beginning and adjust those once or twice and you can get through the game on normal just fine!

Ah yes the Gacha episode. Can't wait to see what Garnt has to say on this episode. Edit: So now that I have watched the video, I agree with Garnt on the Honkai take. It basically dumbed down the turn based combat system and made it very flashier to make it much more accessible to the casual audience. However, I also do think that after a while, a lot of players who want more complexity from the game will eventually get bored of it. It happened with Genshin. The music though, Amazing!

[@CorvoA77ano]

@@melzick5086 I guess you can say there are a lot of different mechanics at play there. But essentially, a lot of them do basically the same thing with different animations and effects and varying numbers. The problem here is that at the core, it's very simple and the gameplay loop just isn't satisfying enough to keep it going. Look at Honkai Impact 3rd for example, its got a very nuanced and in depth combat system along with varying degrees of element effectiveness and counters. But it's something that the casual player cannot just pick up and play. HSR on the other side feels like it has a lot of depth to it's combat to the first time players. But to those who have been long time turn based players, I don't think it's something they'd actively enjoy. And I can see that it definitely loses it's charm somewhere down the line for a lot of the current players as well.

I get that the system in Trails in the Sky can be complicated, as you need to have a specific number of combinations of Quartz to be able to use certain arts.

[@thaumana8489]

Yup. Some die-hard fellow fans always cling to the importance to play the games in chronological order for a "rewarding" experience, but often times I just figured that one should know the people you want to recommend this series well enough and see if they are usually not into the very classical, somewhat slow-paced, traditional turn-based combat system and thus rather try to recommend them the modern installments of the Trails series like Cold Steel. I feel the success rate to sell them on the series is a bit higher with the modern parts of the series as they have added more comfort gameplay elements that make them stick to the lengthy games in the first place, which then can work well as introduction to the rest if they become more interested after their first playthrough.

The quartz system in cold steel is much more basic compared to sky/crossbell. I think because cold steel was trying to appeal to the Garnt audience, it simplified the system.

the different builds for characters is the fun part of turn base. I might be a lunatic for liking those types of games.

[@SparkShadow212]

It's kind of like building a deck in a trading card game. It's the planning and theory crafting that makes it fun. Then when the actual battle starts, you see the results play out.

[@free_falling_in_abyss]

The thing Connor says about youtube automatically playing a short whenever you open the app at 47:25 is absolutely true!! I've experienced it many times and it's such an obvious ploy to catch users into unintentionally endless scrolling of shorts to increase the time they spend on the app. I hate it so much!

[@SoIfire]

I get that Connor doesn't care for story but it's so interesting to me that for him a game needs to be difficult to enjoy it. The dark souls games are some of my favorite games but I love a lot of other games that aren't designed to make you struggle.

[@wako60]

Goddamn two ass takes in one episode. GOTG 3 was great and the villian was incredible it wasnt just "screaming" and Garnt the TLOU game does a way better job at telling the story than the show. the show was damn good but it was like watching a speedrun of the game. The pacing felt a bit fast towards the end and with the game it has more time for the player to connect to the characters so when joel does the thing in the hospital its more tragic. So yeah the show is good but the game is still better

[@za-ir5ni]

Lol no, GoTG 3 wasn't great, it was okay like Connor correctly pointed out and most critics agree with him. And the villain fucking sucked. You're going to forget him in like a week.

[@wako60]

​@@za-ir5ni 💀what critics are you looking at cause from what ive seen is critics like it alot and i defiently will not forget aboutthe villain in a week. the way he was potrayed as just a bad person was a good change of pace from the trend of villains being sympatic

[@lampros1112]

Personally for some reason i didn't like playijg through trails in the sky second chapter as well but i really enjoyed the game play of trails in the sky 3rd! Also i would reccomend not looking at guides! Juts go into it and get the spells you want! If a boss fight needs a specific spell change quartz a bit and go at it again. Optimisation is not really necessary in anything but nightmare difficulty and even then it depends on the game and not to a huge degree.

[@kentstopme]

He mentioned about beating the game's intended difficulty when talking about pokemon nuzlocke so he's definitely playing on normal and that's good, He doesn't need to optimize much

[@caramelkalin6696]

Me and Garnt somehow have the complete opposite opinions on trails, I love the music, the amount of characters, the optimization. I really hope he continues playing it tho if he's already finished the first two games.

[@kamitokadoya4759]

[@peacefulbystander847]

I don't want to assume, but maybe Joey doesn't want to watch Arcane since he just doesn't care about League of Legends. Sure, people say it has incredible writing, animation, etc, but if someone just doesn't find the premise interesting, anyone would find it a hard sell. Imagine Connor's reaction if you recommended him an absolutely incredible new airing show with great acting, writing, action, etc... And then imagine the look on his face when you tell him it's about the Bible. You know, that book his childhood made him apathetic towards. I doubt he'd be all that interested after hearing that. I'm probably wrong and Joey has some other reasons, but that's just my impression.

[@KdVSerpentinit]

Same thought here. For him to miss such a masterpiece just he don't want to join the hype... so sad

[@maximmonov8249]

kinda sad how honkai 3rd is just forgotten because of star rail, both games have genuienly incredible stories

[@Morbisus]

And thumbnail is literally Honkai 3rd

[@MC-ku4zz]

Yp till date HI3 has the best story Star Rail has the potential to surpass it but it remains to be seen. For now, the main advantage of HSR other than superior graphics is that its plot is interesting from the get-go while HI3 took a while to get rolling.

[@SystemBot]

Can't be forgotten when most of these new players probably never knew about Honkai in the first place. Eventually Star Rail players will find their way to Honkai. Like Genshin players did, but probably more so since Star Rail is even more related to Honkai than Genshin.

24:00 You would have to give the fan translator of the Monogatari series (if you know, you know) loads of credit had painstakingly translated the humour really well such that you can follow along the series, that's why there's a sizable overseas fanbase of the Monogatari series, I feel. Also to top it off with Akiyuki Shimbo's and Shaft's direction in the anime, it became one of the unique anime to have ever existed, controversies and all.

[@AmaraQuest]

26:36 about the pasta being better in Italy. It's because it's indeed NOT just flour. It's the type and origin of the flour and how it's made. Flour made from wheat that grew in a Mediterranean country tastes and is genetically different from other countries. Each country's soil is different!

Android notifications (lots applies fo iOS too): - you can snooze EVERY notification. Just expand it! - you can read messages in your notification preview without discarding the notification or marking the message as read in the app. Just expand it by pulling down on it. - you can mark messages as unread in some messaging apps like FB. - you can turn on do-not-disturb and all notifications will be held off until you decide to take a look. The "Modes" setting is better tho because you can preconfigure certain presets like driving, work, theater, exercising and decide which notification is to come through in any of these.

[@zanzatbc]

Italians do watch you guys. I know because I’m one of them. I always love when someone comes to Italy and experiences our culture. Listening to Connor praising Italian culture, food, and coffee really made me happy. I really hope one day the boys will be able to come here on tour. Honesty though, if you don’t experience central and souther Italy you’re missing out. Italy is an incredibly diverse country and the food, the people and the culture changes completely from region to region. Toscana, Lazio, Abruzzo, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia, Umbria, Calabria and Molise are just as worth of your time as Liguria, Piemonte, Lombardia, Friuli and all the other northern regions.

[@HouseMDaddict]

Their discussion about the disconnect between English humor and Japanese humor both in anime and movies, is sort of like how in the airport it says "Welcome home" in Japanese, but then it says "Welcome to Japan" in English. Like you're still be welcomed but that extra bit of warmth in the Japanese meaning is lost unless you know Japanese. Now that I'm getting better at Japanese, when I watch an anime i can sometimes pick up on the "shortcuts" the English translations take since it's hard to really convey in a short amount of words the significance of what's being said in Japanese.

I don't know about iOS (I think only Joey has an iPhone) but in Android you can SNOOZE any notification for 15min/30min/1h/2h. There's a little icon in one of the corners of each "expanded" notification. Use that. Maybe on other Android phones you have to swipe slightly from the edge of the notification towards a side and the icon then appears. If you need more time, then use the 2hs each time. It's kind of annoying, but I get it because they're NOTIFICATION, not emails, they're meant for you to notice them and remind you or alert you from ort for stuff you need to checkout.

[@anart008eng]

As an Italian resident pasta and coffee is something Italians just do, it is in their blood but not expresso macchines which are becoming more common yes, but mokas, we calculated with some friends that a house normaly has at least two. They do pizza different, I am from south America and we do them thick while in here they do them lighter (less crust Garnt...) and also you will not find some types of pizza at all. And yes they have a high voice tone that can feel as they are shouting but they are just built like that. And they do just drive as they feel like it, the limit is 50 I drive at 60 and they honk because I am not fast enough (ever near a school zone at times). If you need any advice feel free to ask!
