Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Best way to kill a Sim was to make him bake a pizza and then imprison him at the oven behind an impenetrable bar stool fence.

It looked something like this:

I just went around cleaning up a guy's penthouse in classic sims style, then drowned him in the toilet, does that count?

Hello I am here to say that Hollow Knight is an excellent game. I'm at like 98% but don't feel like hunting down some items, so probably going to leave it there.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
Just SASO'ed Marrakesh. Weird how one target has a stupidly easy SASO kill (poisoning Zaydan's meal) and the other... you have to really know where you're going.

Congrats! I'm just happy they didn't make you pull the same Metal Gear Solid BS twice in the same map - I SASOed Marrakesh tonight too, and boy howdy let me tell you how much I love coins and an intimate knowledge of that portion of the map.

I did.

It's fun but I completed level 3 and it says I'm at 19% completion.

Also maybe don't get it on Switch, I think it runs better elsewhere.

I didn't know about the easy kill until after I SASO'd the map and it was a nightmare

I haven't played Nier: Automata yet because I don't think I'm in the mood to have a game rip my heart out and stomp all over it quite yet, but I'm gonna get to it soon. It seems really, really good.

It is really, really good, but be warned that the game is not afraid to do said ripping and tearing and if you are like me and have a huge heart, lots more ripping and tearing will happen and it will not be good for you

I'm in the middle of Route 2 and so far nothing really made me sad except for the part about the forest "king." I'm anxious for what else could be that bad.

It's going to strike you like a loving snake hiding in the bushes my dude, and it'll feel real bad. But that's how you know the game is good!

haha good, at this rate the game is enjoyable enough but the aspect of route 2 so far for me is less about "oh this new combat is fun" and more about "ok when will things pick up and I can stop retreading things". so I've been anxious about when things truly diverge

The physical object may go away but the feelings they imparted on you do not if they're strong enough.

I heard that the code that John Carmack stole from Zenimax is for making you die in real life if you die in virtual reality... He says it's only a real Oculus "Vive" if there's the threat of an Oculus "Mort", if you know what I'm saying.

Also I'm pretty sure you could go blind if you played a Virtual Boy for long enough.

Cool, the "bad" TW3 ending was the best one imo so I'm looking forward to N:A even more.

You and I are probably on the same level, and yes--it will. I would in fact argue that NieR: Automata is subconsciously speaking to people like us.
