Weird how Hollow Knight just kinda grew on me as I played it- the more you play it the more the simple-but-good mechanics sink in and the more you're just charmed by the overall presentation of everything.

I played Hollow Knight up to the boss fight for what I believed to be the bad ending. Then I got confused for awhile and looked up what I was missing. I think I totally missed an entire zone to the east. I think the entrance was obscured by an invisible wall. Then I never picked it up again.

I didn't dislike the game but it didn't resonate with me the way it seems to with the majority of people. That surprised me cause HK is definitely a game I should have loved.

I don't think I have played it since around the time Octopath released. I keep thing I should restart it and give it another whirl.

I think what I'm ultimately getting at is I wish Super Metroid was available on the Switch.

Yoshi's Crafted World is very cute and good but also the return of the Yoshi's Story aiming cursor that can now aim into the background and foreground is making it so I have to stop for every shot and it kind of sucks. Also you can't spit out things you eat, trying to do so automatically eggs the enemy. Also worried that considering they get 13 flowers out of that one level between the back and front sides and the cow hunt, that there'll be less levels overall.

daemon x machina demo was good, if a bit limiting with no weapons or armor shop

I love the idea of scavenging them from downed mechs.

Now I'm playing Isolation, which is much better, at least so far. I haven't found a gun yet, which is sad.

It's okay, you won't want to use it until like 8 hours in anyway.

I will admit I was unironically dissapointed when that dog didnt show up in RE6. Like imagine at the end you get tossed a rocket launcher and its that dog.

Instead I got a game where Leon fails to keep his alternate universe self alive.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I have always liked Gwendolyn & Oswald because it is a relationship based entirely on :black101: from killing dragons or saving each other from hell - a real one and other that's just kind of a volcano place but still counts to me.

Sure she could, but she loves Guybrush all the same

Not exactly the best written romance of all time or anything but it's a nice little thing where two people so seemingly incompatible end up coming together and being a cute and adorable and loving couple

Aren’t you the person who posted that video essay about Monkey Island that argued that Elaine falls in love with Guybrush precisely because he is the goofball that he is, and not a fearsome pirate?

That's from the first Monkey Island, where Elaine's character is more autonomous, rather than the helpless window dressing she gets relegated to after the first two games.
