  • TL;DR: This game is the fucking bomb if you like fantasy action adventures.

    I haven’t played 2 yet on account of the mtx issues, but Dragons Dogma 1 is the fucking bomb. The story is vague in a Dark Souls/Elden Ring kind of way. Things happen and fancy words are thrown around for the mystique, but overall it’s fantastic. Dragon steals your heart (literally out of your chest with a single claw) and you go on a journey to regain it.

    It has a pseudo-multi-player in the sense that: every player gets a ‘pawn,’ an extradimensional human-like follower. Players can borrow each other’s pawns, and pawns build a repository of quest knowledge based on the quests they’ve completed, home-game or borrowed. With that, they can offer assistance like helping some puzzles or pointing out enemy weak points.

    It’s much more action oriented than a Soulslike, as it’s got a touch of anime theme. You can sprint into an attack, you can grab enemies, throw small ones, grapple human-sized, and literally climb large creatures. Climbing up a cyclops to stab the eye, holding onto a griffin that’s trying to fly away, throwing goblins at each other, it’s all there.











  • Only chiming in for statistics. Where I live NC, USA; Almost nowhere charges a fee for credit/debit card use unless it’s a third-party ATM. But even then those typically are only there to account for cash-only payments like lottery or coin changers.

    Not saying that it doesn’t suck, but I acknowledge that if your entire business is providing ATM services, a one-time sale is money lost, which is money that would go to support/maintenance.

    I work at the dry-clean counter of a laundromat, and it’s cheaper to use quarters (which everyone has and can be exchanged anywhere) than to manufacture proprietary payment options. We only have like 6 machines that take credit cards, and they put a $10 hold on the account.

    Compared to a $3 ATM fee to change $20 into quarters, it’s a million times more efficient, economically and ecologically.
