Going through the game again myself. You can largely ignore it though. It's only forced on you twice I think. Beginning with Vivi and the card tournement in Treno which you can just lose if you want, all you get is a rebirth ring which can be found in one of the chocograph chests and can also be synthed.

I suppose its probably the same with PS controllers then? Nintendo has some decent third party controllers.

The thing where you use the Square button as your talk button.

The thing about Prozac is The Joker is chemically enhanced too. When you see people smiling and laughing, ask yourselves what the fuck they're so happy about.

Yes, the U.S. and Canada going to war. That's what friends are for.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/w...a-trudeau.html

Last time that happened the Canadians burnt down the White House.

MIT scientists ran a simulation that determined the total collapse of governments and absolute breakdown society on Earth will occur globally within the years 2020-2040 and the Fallout 4 post-apocalyptic wasteland lifestyle of precipitous mass death and no rule of law is running way ahead of schedule.

At least we'll all be medicated into being happy about that.

A term referring to the current species of humans that have taken the art of planetary destruction to a whole new level of irreversibility.

This species has a deep-seated obsession with the act of planetfuckery, a term coined to describe the act of rendering once-thriving planets into barren wastelands. According to anthropological study of urban legend anecdotes, Homo planetacoitus were born from the union of a disgruntled cosmic misanthrope and a disgraced ecologist, a match made in the fiery depths of despair.

Their very existence is a testament to the dark side of human progress, a cautionary tale of what happens when humans take planet-hating too far. The name Homo planetocoitus is derived from the Latin words planēta and coitus, signifying the ultimate act of fucking up a planet beyond all recognition that these beings are said to perform with great pride. In the 21st century their impact and perfection of planetary destruction far exceeds that of all previous human species.

treno on disc 3 is the only place where the card game is forced. you can start collecting cards in the beginning with vivi. I found a GS code last night that works for winning card games though I didn't really need it to win the first round of the tournament I nearly got a perfect(or maybe I did I don't remember now) it really just boiled down to luck. my 2 best cards aren't that good but I wasn't about to spend hours resetting the game to get really good ones.

the PS button layout is the only one I even like and feel comfortable using anymore but find controllers with decent-good D-pads and hand grips is tough most are just DS3 clones. I'm currently looking at buying a pair of steelseries controllers seeing as the brand I had been using is no longer available.
the classic pro controller I was looking at doesn't have a usb connector like I thought it did so I won't be getting that one if I had an adapter or can get one for cheap($5-$10) I would get it

I must be a terrible person to sit here laughing at all the people crying about PSN being down, oh wait I don't care if I am terrible it's really funny :evilgrin:

I use a 360 controller or one of the Logitech Dual Action (dualchalk clone with a better d-pad more or less) in the rare instances I need a controller.

Oh couldn't remember if the tutorial was forced on Vivi or not at the beginning. The card game is completely useless in 9. It was more fun in 8 - just the mechanics of it. Plus it actually factored into the actual gameplay like being able to mod cards into items for spells or parts for creating your weapons etc..

no wonder I always had trouble getting weapon parts and upgrading them. I might have to give 8 another go.

I saw PSN was down, I guess its back up. It didn't really affect me at all, I usually play single player games and I prefer physical media over digital. Emulation and retro games FTW!
