I’m in the mood to play a game with a good French dub. Any suggestions?

The original v/o for Clair Obscur is French, and it’s quite good. I hear the FF7 remakes have good French dubs.

Absolutely, YES and YES.

What i also can recommend is Remember Me (2013iirc?) that offers french dub, english sub options, but some goons in battles are not translated, there you’ll start to train your brain to pick up some words (if you never spoke french before).

Aside from that, check every recent game if it offers french language pack and just listen if you like the pretty faces fitting ze french dub… FF16 didn’t click with me, for example.

is there anything similar to mount & blade on switch?

1 Like

is it portability that’s the issue here? genuinely think the only thing close is battle brothers but that’s a turn based tactics game. and I cannot imagine the ui is good on switch. you could run m&b warband on any computer though I think

have you by any chance tried putting mount & blade on your retroid flip 2 and running it with gamehub/gamenative/winlator/whatever? compatibility can be hit and miss, but perhaps worth trying, even for a 3d game from 2008.

also looks like warband got an official android port, but don’t know if that would be compatible with current versions of android or the retroid game controller thingy.

i haven’t! my previous attempts at emulating pc games on there haven’t gone well, but i could give it another try.

and i might try looking up that android port too :thinking:

I want to learn mahjong so I can read the manga Akagi: The Genius Who Descended into Darkness by the guy who wrote Kaiji. What’s the fastest way to learn mahjong, or more importantly, what’s the funnest way to learn mahjong?

i know selectbutton once did a podcast on the topic, but i’m still curious wherefore the intense interest in dungeons in fantasy. i can see the appeal of other common locales: villages, castles, forests, even natural caves, but not so much a blocky, dim underground prison.

The term is from D&D, but like…… I’d say 80% of the dungeons in D&D aren’t even actual dungeons. They’re just maze-like spaces. Maybe a tenth of them are towers.
