Because I had honestly forgotten about the two other skeleton themes at the time.

Played another two hours of Night in the Woods, plot started to happen and my friend and I got into it, then the plot slowed but it was still okay. I think the game does mood really well, I do wish the main character was a little less edgy, she's one of those people who likes rain more than sunshine and I just can't get along with someone like that.

I might get to play this board game in a few weeks because a friend was all "I'm gonna buy this for you" even though I told them they didn't have to :D


I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging, I'm not trying to and if it sounds that way I'll quiet up about it, I'm just simultaneously disappointed because I feel like I somehow coerced them into saying they'd buy me a board game as a gift because they know I'm poor and have no source of income and also excited at the prospect of finally getting to play Neuroshima Hex, a board game that looks like a lot of fun.

The Bloodborne dynamic theme is the one I've always used and probably always will use. The Hunter's Dream theme is so soothing!

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I had Corn Love Forever as my theme for so long the song is burned into my brain. I wish I could buy the Neir Automata theme without the digital preorder.

I have been annoyed for literal years now that Sony's stupid branding prevents themes from actually reskinning everything so you'll always have the ugly-rear end PS+ and PS Store blocks ruining the aesthetic no matter what

edit: Also they have never implemented a "hide all of the icons and poo poo and just show the theme" button

Kinda tempted to buy the Switch. It's not even sold out. But I'll wait. until it has more games or there's a better deal.

Normally I'd be all over a new Nintendo console but there doesn't seem to be anything worth buying one for at the moment, if Zelda was a huge upgrade over the WiiU one it'd be different but eh.

Very fun, very replayable! The core game loop of roadtrip cyoa sections + stopping to whack zombies as you scavenge for supplies is rock-solid. There's a ton of content in it - weird roadtrip encounters, unique characters, different weapons/settings to fight zombies in -

Let me put it this way. If you dig the humor, you'll probably be like me and put in 20+ hours. I've won a few times but there's still more to see and do.

Game is good.

Cool. I watched a small bit of a stream of it and I like the game's style and sense of humor so I may as well buy it.

People are saying the color depth is worse on the Wii U? What does that actually mean

Wii U has very slightly worse contrast. That means black isn't quite as black, colors in general are a little dimmer, that kind of thing.

Emphasis on the very slightly, though. It's a miniscule difference that is probably 100% unnoticeable when you also factor in the differences in how TVs show colors. It's something that was much more noticeable in the E3 version but, well, that was nine months ago so clearly it changed.

UNCONTROLLABLE

was third in line for a switch this morning and they had 7, the best part is the electronics manager at the walmart came out and gave us numbered tickets so we could just go wait in our cars till opening. They only had two neons that got bought by the two guys ahead of me so I had to settle for grey.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I'm now like 7 hours into Hollow Knight and it's cool but frustrating. The movement mechanics feel a little bit unpolished in a way that makes platforming kinda uncomfortable for me, and so far there's two different platforming areas that rely on you doing the downward attack move that is really difficult to do consistently. It's a cool game, but the further into it I get the less I'm like "maybe I'm just really bad at this game" and the more I'm like "no, I think there have been some questionable design decisions made here". It's also all about bug people but nowhere do you run into a gigantic human-scale object, like a big shoe or whatever, which is just sad imo. Why make a game about bugs without doing silly size things. Even the plants are pretty regular sized.

There was that one dude (Handre?) that was known back in the olden days for drawing bizarre reimaginings of game box art. I think it turned out later that he was a racist though.

Think of a sillier version of Organ Trail with better controls and tense instead of frustrating gameplay.

On the one hand, I want to hold off on getting Zelda since I know it's going to take focus away from Horizon and Nier: Automata.

On the other hand, it's loving Zelda and it looks so good

I really love the Everybody's Gone To the Rapture theme but you could only get that for preordering the game.

Right now there's a free Indivisible theme that I think it's quite nice if you're looking for something.
