Admitting Defeat - When A Videogame Breaks Your Spirit

Another tactic is using Chain + Rei as spot one, morphing Ryu into the strongest Kaiser dragon form, and then having Rei use influence to target Ryu's attacks; although, for one AP point more, you can use the controllable Kaiser by fusing it with the Failure gene, but you'd probably find it better to give Ryu "Aura" and spam that since it's only 20AP (I think you can lower the AP cost with an accessory).
Good shit, but if you use the Failure gene you'll just get the shitty controllable Kaiser with low stats. If you want the True Kaiser, which you do, use Trance+Radiance+Infinity genes, which give you a controllable Kaiser with ultra stats,


This is also true! I forgot about that combination!

What I tend to do before the final areas of the game is abuse the gift shops in Faery village so I can up certain stats for my characters:

Rei: Attack, Speed, Defense, HP (so he's not such a glass cannon)
Ryu: All stats except intelligence, due to him being my primary fighter
Nina: Speed, Defense, Intelligence, AP
Garr: Defense, Attack and HP - no need to focus on his AP or Speed too much
Momo: Same as Nina
Peco: This bastard was the most OP in my team behind Rei and Ryu due to me not training him until late in the game - I used him to get all the spells from Deis for Nina, and then raised him to be a a mixture of Rei and Ryu, stat wise.

Although, my final fight team was Rei, Ryu and Peco, and I managed to bring the final boss down in less than 10 turns with the simple: Focus x2 + Aura for Ryu, Rei using regular attacks and healing us when we need it, and Peco basically spamming attack, shaving off 300 hp per hit, while Ryu was taking off a wooping 1.5 grand a pop. Peco did have super combo, and could manage over 1000 damage by himself, though...if I was lucky.

Zamasu in Dragonball Super is legit Sociopath.

Also sorry to see you putting up with that nonsense, I wish businesses weren't so cutthroat these days.


It's all good. :3

On the topic of Dragon Ball Super - I'm having a difficult time wanting to get into it because all I'm seeing are new forms being spammed to the viewers.

I mean...he brought back Frieza, again. AGAIN. And the Super Saiyan God form was kinda...jumping the gun for me - how do we take an OP character and make him more so?

God-i-fy him. -_-

3. Breath of Fire III. Really only quit that one because I couldn't beat the next dungeon without running out of resources. The battles didn't even give enough gold to pay for the healing items you needed to win them anymore and you just got into an endless spiral of difficulty: less gold -> can't afford better equip -> even less gold -> can't even afford healing items anymore.
Are we talking about the same game? BOF III isn't insultingly easy, but it's not particularly hard, either. What dungeon is this?
Agreed. The only part of that game I found difficult was the final boss, and that was because young me was determined to use Rei and his weretiger form instead of something I actually had control over.

(Eventually realised that was dumb, won easily.)
You can use Influence to target Rei's opponents without him ever targeting you.


^true, and if you raise Rei's speed to insane levels and use the Chain formation, putting him in the first position and the spell caster in the very back; buff up with the spell caster so Rei doesn't become a meat shield as he'll get targeted more often; and if you do this, transform him, and use influence, you'll be spitting out plenty of damage.

Another tactic is using Chain + Rei as spot one, morphing Ryu into the strongest Kaiser dragon form, and then having Rei use influence to target Ryu's attacks; although, for one AP point more, you can use the controllable Kaiser by fusing it with the Failure gene, but you'd probably find it better to give Ryu "Aura" and spam that since it's only 20AP (I think you can lower the AP cost with an accessory).

.....I apologize for that info dump...I reaaaaaaaaaaally love BOF games...XD

Leave an overwhelmingly positive but clearly sarcastic review.


I like the way you think. :P

That is some crazy story you can tell people for years to come, and you'll laugh and laugh.

Find another place to work!


I've been trying. XD We live in a highway town with little opportunity, and the best place for me to go is Savannah, the closest city but...I've no place to stay.

When you work here, you don't spend the best years of your life, you earn the best years of your life. I'd get hired all over again.


Not gonna lie - the money would make all the bullshit worth it, but...they might find that I won't be as anal-compulsive like last time.

-seriously considers the idea Locke proposed...cuz mischievous nature is mischievous-

My ex-boss's father threatened legal action over a negative review I left on Facebook about their store.

>_> Needless to say...it's removed, and I remain a free man. lol
Why would they pursue legal action over a review? You should've stood your ground. They would've never won.

I've seen where this lot is rather jumpy with lawyers. It's weird, too - because they even threatened to get me and my wife kicked out of our apartment, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the job. We're meeting Monday to clear the air once and for all, but...I'm bringing proof that my review of their establishment was legit, and warranted by numerous consumer testimony.

author=Jeroen_Sol
Well, if the contract stated they could never do something like that...

You could still leave a review from some public location that can't be traced back to you, though.

Believe me, I've thought about that. And there's no contract, so I'm not sure what grounds they had to begin with outside of defamation of character or something. Her father stated he was going to contact the lawyers because I was 'lied about why I was let go."

I did, yes - because I was told three different reasons by the woman who had me working at her store. But the reason I was canned is because - get this - my mother stepped in to the store with a lit cigarette and I didn't do anything about it.

Honestly, I didn't know she had it in her hand until I smelt it once she left!

I mean, if I had put that up with my review, it would've made them look like utter fools. >_>

Thing is, ladies and gents; this place where I worked was finally getting cleaned up and organized when I worked there. I'm somewhat of a neat freak, and I nearly had massive bouts of OCD seeing the state that store was in when I first worked there, and since they fired me, it's worse than when I was there before.

And all they were paying me was 80 a week for basically being a keyholder, custodian, cashier, and stocker.

Tis alright, though. Come Monday, if they want to consider giving me my job back, I've got some steeeeeep demands...such as the owner and her husband actually keep the store clean, and that the other guy working there do the same. I can't be the only one taking pride in the work place.

EDIT: But hey! Don't worry about ol' Punky! On a lighter topic - productivity has been tanking on me lately. Anyone have tips on how to regain some level of focus? XD

It should probably be the other way around but as I got older I got increasingly impatient with games. If they include grinding for more than a very small percentage of the time, I just can't stand them. What's really weird is that I still enjoy games like DotA...
Then I think its safe to say you don't like the Disgea series. Grinding is their thing.


Man, I love Disgaea and can't stand the grind. I get really impatient to see those insanely high stats, and I'm too lazy to try. lol

Final Fantasy 4: Rage quit in the final dungeon of the game due to the obnoxious encounter rate, and the amount of running around I did made this harder.
If you're talking about FF4 DS, then ugh, yes. I don't know why they felt the need to make it so much harder than the original game, and why they felt the need to make the final dungeon so much harder than anything else in the game. You could go in with a level 80+ party and get thoroughly wrecked. I also ragequit there.


Yessss! The one on the DS. My team was high level, high classed, and well equipped and somehow I was having enemies shave off thousands of HP. O_o.

What do you do for a living?

I'm trying to figure out what to with my life, really...looking for work in a highway town where the only thing we've got going for us is the copious amount of fast food joints, and places that require you to have experience....to GET experience.

But hey. I prefer physical labor because I exercise my mental faculties almost all the time when I'm home, whether it's reading or music...so.

Being unemployed and lost is a terrible combination, folks. Not nearly as charming as Hollywood makes it seem. lol

Final Fantasy 4: Rage quit in the final dungeon of the game due to the obnoxious encounter rate, and the amount of running around I did made this harder.

Final Fantasy 5: Quit due to my over-bearing perfectionism rearing it's head and making me obsessive grind to rank up my Jobs.

Fallout 3: Okay, this one is more of a story than a quick explanation. I had never played a Fallout game before this one but when I researched what it was about, I was intrigued! I was a pro at Oblivion, being able to wreck the game with ridiculous character builds, so I thought Fallout 3 would be similar.

And I was wrong. When I made it past the prologue and the vault and laid eyes on the Wastelands, I was frightened. The PIP Boy was no help because, at that time, I had no skill at reading maps in a game. There was no clearly defined road to travel on (and if there was, I didn't take it out of curiosity). Put the game down and didn't touch it for two weeks.

Final Fantasy XIII: Played this on the 360 and quit it when I got to Gran Pulse because I was beyond frustrated with the game. TWO FUCKING YEARS LATER, I get it again on my PS3 and manage to beat it because I -gasp- learned Libra was my best friend. -facepalm-

Dark Souls: I uh...died many times to the tutorial boss. -_- Shuddap, don't judge me and my lameness!

Saga Frontier 1+2, and Romancing Saga: Love the games but MY GOD...the combat and the scaling enemies irritated the living FUCK out of me. I guess I went into the games expecting something else and found myself getting destroyed after awhile, and simply walked away from these three games.

Drakengard 3: The Final Song in this game wrecked every bit of my gamer skill I thought I had because of the sheer brutality of that damn segment. And I had made it halfway through the song before I missed ONE ring, and had to start over. To this day I haven't picked the game back up.

I know I have WAY more, but these were the ones that stood out to me the most. That, and I don't want to make this post any longer than it already is.
