The gold/silver generation already got one remake. It would be hilarious if they got another one, especially because that was the last time I was really invested in Pokémon.

i dunno, seems pretty chill

YOU MONSTER

I KNOW

Edit: still haven’t beat it 

I live right outside of that band (Cincinnati), and I already have that day off, so I guess I don’t have a great excuse to not seek it out (other than laziness and being a cynical jerk). 

I get that the True Detective name is valuable, but I feel like this season would’ve been more successful if it was completely its own thing. For me, this show was at its worst when it was trying to be True Detective. Take out the references that don’t really add anything, remove the burden of living up to that first season (which even the original creator couldn’t do) and just let it be a moody Alaska mystery. I think people would’ve tuned in to a Jodie Foster-led HBO series called Night Country, but I’m not a TV executive, so what do I know? 
 

Overall, I didn’t love it, but it sounds like I enjoyed it a little more than y’all. I liked the unique setting and vibe enough that I’m not especially disappointed with the particulars of the case or how it was solved. I like how the spirit/force that avenged Annie K’s death was actually just the women of the town.

Oh, and I think it’s time that we, as a society, take a nice long break from slowed down moody covers of pop songs. That really hit a hit a breaking point with me when the Eagle-Eye Cherry cover dropped at the end of episode 5.

It supposedly goes yellow-green-blue-purple (straightforward-tricky). I usually disagree.

Let me know what sites you’re talking about, and I’ll test it for you. 

I wasn’t paying super close attention to the story or my choices. I think I fucked up, because

is my final boss, which feels wrong. Also, they’re absolutely stomping my ass 

I think I have a decent strategy now, but I need to take a little break. I’ve been playing all morning. 

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk for coffee and smoothies.

It had a horrible reputation for being pay to win at launch…that’s continually pushed it down the play list since it released, despite loving Tolkien and the first game. 

… that’s probably why. 
Oh well, it’s on Game Pass, I’ll mess around with it for a day or two and get my fix. 

There’s a little convenience store thing at work, and I grab those Nutty Bars way more than I should. Had some less than an hour ago. 

Nice. Never played that one, but I was feeling in the mood for some Middle Earth action the other day so I downloaded Shadow of War. I loved Shadow of Mordor when it came out, no idea why I skipped the sequel.

I don't make six figures, but I also live an incredibly spartan lifestyle. Almost everything I own except for what little furniture I have could fit in a couple duffle bags.

I’m not quite at that level, but my rent and general cost of living is low enough that I can get by on my current pay without much worry. Money is a long term concern, not a short term “can I afford to eat this week” one.

I guess I should check out the first game at some point but if you're just walking around throwing piss and shit bombs I don't get the appeal. 

Don’t forget you also have a baby strapped to your chest the whole time. 

My investment account has made 12 cents in the last two weeks, so I’m well on my way.

Is that why this collection is rated M? I laughed when I had to input my age on the Nintendo store page.

That's why I usually tell people to start with 7 or Memories of Celceta - because they're short like the older ones, but they feel modern like the newer ones.

Definitely tried both of those back in the day. The PSP/Vita was where I first trying to get into the series (also had Oath in Felghana I believe).  I have a couple on Steam (1&2, Origin), bought 8 on Switch, played some of 9 on PS+… 8 is the only one I stuck with for more than a couple hours.
 

I dunno, they just don’t click with me, which is fine. But I’m sure after X gets great reviews and I see it on sale, I’ll try again. 

Ys is a series I keep trying because I feel like I “should” love them. I got decently far into 8, but after like 15 hours or so I kinda lost interest when I realized how much game was left. 

He’s too busy prepping his commune, but he promised to get in touch when my plot of land is ready to build my tiny home.

See. That's where I fail. I don't have a brain like yours to do this. Nice job!

It’s the same mindset that’s helpful for all of their games. When you reach a roadblock and what you’ve been doing up to that point doesn’t get the job done, try a different approach. In the Souls games or Elden Ring, that might require grinding to level up in order to be able to use a different weapon/spell, or finding some specific item or armor set somewhere in the world. It’s so much easier here because everything is just at the shop. You don’t have to use a rare item to respec or any of that arcane nonsense. Just buy a bunch of parts, slap ‘em together, see what works. And since you can sell parts at no loss, there’s no buyer’s remorse.
 

So far (just completed chapter 3), I wouldn’t call it easy, but that freedom of experimentation keeps it from being too frustrating in my book.

AC6 has all of my attention now, but I’ve got this downloaded and ready to go next.

I was about to come here and complain about a bullshit fight (AA22 Heavy Cavalry Warrant Officer) but first I tried entirely switching up my strategy by going head-on with the beefiest tank build I could assemble. Took him out the first time that way. It was sloppy (haven’t used a tank build since the tutorial), and my terminal armor was active so I was at 1hp, but hey, a win is a win! 
 

This game is incredible.

GMG has Steam keys for $42. The specs aren’t too beefy, I can probably run it fine on my laptop.

Im not saying it doesn’t make sense, I’m saying she’s looks like a totally different person.

I definitely had a moment where I thought “why did they hire this lookalike instead of just getting Grande?”
