Also, been feeling like some strategy gaming recently so I've been playing Jurassic World Evolution tonight off the back of watching Jurassic World - a dumb but fine enough movie - and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, a real dumb bad movie for idiots with admittedly neat animatronics.

After getting to three stars on the first island and unlocking the next one (which I assume is their attempt at a tutorial)........ehhhhhh. I'm feeling pretty lukewarm on it and don't know that I want to keep sinking more time into it. It's hard to narrow down why it feels so disengaging to me. The dinos are really cool, driving around in the ranger jeep is a laugh. All the individual pieces of the game seem perfectly fine on their own but then seem to combine into something that is less than the sum of its parts. I feel like even after the tutorial I can see pretty much what the rest of the game is going to be like from here and it doesn't seem particularly challenging or interesting.

New Zealand is great. Cause all the kiwis I know are cool and chill, and the 2 countries have a health competition of ragging poo poo on each other.

Also whenever a New Zealander does something great, we just steal them and call them Australian.

That's the one and only.

I'm surprised he's getting official releases for non-standard discs at such low copies for extremely dead systems, though. That's not the sort of thing Nintendo facilitates from what I recall.

So far I'm feeling the same way about it that I did with the first game. I love the characters and story (although the part I'm at, I love these particular characters... less), I enjoy any of the combat sections against humans, but every part that's against the infected is a frustrating chore. The zombie sections take way too long and I've started just running and dodging past them instead of fighting them if I'm not forced into a boss fight room with them. On the other hand I'm a big fan of the chase sequences they put in this one, those are super fun.

The one plus side is that the sequel has a ton of accessibility options to make things slightly less frustrating, but the infected sections still go on for too long.

I'm spending the day shop-vaccing the basement of the home I recently bought. It's me vs the spider horde. I notice a small space between a floor joist and an I-beam.

I think to myself, "that'd be a good hidey-hole."



Nailed it.

I grab some needle nose pliers and reach in to retrieve my spoils.

"Finally, I've found the money stash!" I muse as I pull the box toward me.

I picked up Nioh ages ago and got through like the first boss fight. It was good but stupid real life got in the way and I never had motivation to go back and finish it. Should I at this point skip to Nioh 2 or power through the first one?

Nioh 1 is pretty good and I liked it better than DS2/3. In 2 you get to create your own character/there's more enemy variety/4 new weapon types/a couple new mechanics like equipping enemy skills and there's a fun demon parry since you're an oni in this one instead of the guy from the witcher. I think you can also summon/be summoned to help each other now but I always just play these games solo so idk

It still has the problem from the first game where it throws a stupid amount of loot at you (you pick up like 30-40+ very similar pieces of equipment per mission probably) but I guess there are weird people who like that

also it has the extremely cute kodama/sudama/a fat cat who will roll around and attack enemies for you

There's not so much story in the games that it matters, though there's a nice moment towards the end of 2 if you've played 1.

I kind of was in the same boat with Nioh 1 and having had stuff get in the way, but finally managed to finish it right before 2 came out and didn't regret it. Your choice I think.

Still have to go back to both games and finish some stuff up, actually.

I'm going to try and make head and tail of it, forgive me if I get things wrong.

There's a pretty C-SPAM game, Brigador, where you play as a corporate terrorist attacking Cuba/Venezuela. Seems cool, there's a dark layer of corporate critical irony there. Goon made as well, lots of good buzz on Games over the years. Game seemed fairly woke, with female and black characters, which attracted the type of moderately woke crowd you would expect.

Then someone starts anonymously posting screenshots of the dev's posts on a YCS offsite, Badgame, where he and others share lots of extremely racist and sexist and islamophobic and transphobic nastiness, alongside people who were banned off GBS and C-SPAM for racism. Gauss admits that it's him, and that he would Do Better. People are skeptical, considering some of his posts are mocking others for attempting to apologize post-Cancellation.

Then Juggalo Baby Coffin starts posting screenshots of Gauss, still in contact with those offsiters, trying to not get double-cancelled by his fellow shitlords.

This is where poo poo gets really confusing. JBC starts insinuating that the rest of the Brigador team are even worse than Gauss. However he doesn't show the goods for that claim.

Then the offsiters flood in, start sharing screenshots of JBC being extremely racist on a Nazi discord. And start insinuating that the people he was in contact with were also those discord Nazis. The offsiters also tried to use the Dilbert mind-war technique, where you attempt to use the enemy's power word, like Nazi, or Chud, so much that it becomes useless. Unfortunately for them, their suffocating use of the term only serves to mark them out from others.

However, those screenshots are not trustworthy at all. Heck, they try to accuse other posters of also posting generic white genocide screeds using those screenshot, which doesn't help their case that JBC really was an actual member of the Nazi discord.

There are a couple of possibilities to come out of this. One is that JBC was part of a Nazi discord perpetuating a grudge against Gauss and Badgame, as part of some bizarre internecine conflict that only they can untangle. Another was that JBC was merely used as a catspaw by them, a way to sanitize their views. The third is that Badgame is completely full of poo poo and are simply trying to hide their behind a smokescreen of aerosolized poo poo.

In all scenarios, someone held a serious grudge against Gauss to air all that dirty laundry just like that. And that every Badgame regular should be summarily shot and thrown into a ditch.

Uhh...that last sentence. You need some serious help.

In the past year I've gone through From's Souls games.

Started with Sekiro. Was my game of the year. Loved it. Then played Bloodborne and did all dlc. Loved it. Game of the generation. Then I did Dark Souls 1. Loved it. Might be a top 5 favorite game? Started Dark Souls 2. Um. Started Dark Souls 3. Forgot about it.


I need to go back to 3.

One problem I have with 3 is that the enemies barely feel like Souls enemies. Like you got the enemies at opening village and they feel out of Bloodborne. I don't know. I just want more Souls 1.
