I think it is kind of weird that they are doing a whole new franchise but the differentiation between the new setting/atmosphere and what Dark Souls did is not too clear

I mean, the concept footage looked indistinguishable to me from the intros to the Dark Souls games but I'm just a layperson I suppose, the true loreheads might be able to shed some light on it

Beat Pikmin today. Turns out being the best game on the WiiU still makes you the second best game on the switch

What is the best game on the Switch, then? Most people would say BotW, but that's a WiiU game.

I keep meaning to try out the Dig games even though I dislike Metroidvanias. I loved Quest and just double-dipped on Heist on my 3DS as I think the second screen will be more useful.

I really enjoy what Image & Form has put out and I hope their new game shows up soon.

Both Digs are on sale on the 3DS eShop until tomorrow actually! That's how I bought Dig 2 and Heist lol

I'm not even sure that I'd call Dig 1 a Metroidvania, it's pretty linear with little side challenge rooms as you dig down. You could probably power through it in a day. Dig 2 has a lot more depth but has more of that open exploration, part of me wants to say to skip 1 and just go straight to 2 but since they're on sale...maybe get both?

E: for that matter, as someone who does like Metroidvanias I'd say even Dig 2 barely qualifies as one. It's not a sprawling map like a Hollow Knight or Super Metroid, but rather a few long linear regions you can dig through, with movement upgrades dictating how far through you can get through each one.

I hope Elden Ring didn't prevent them from making the full Sekiro DLC expansion. It stands out as the only modern one of those without one.

Are there people who are really excited about George RR Martin doing fuckin backstory lore lol

If there’s one thing asoiaf is good at it’s having an incredibly detailed, well thought out backstory

And if there’s one thing souls devs are good at its having a backstory only and no in your face story

I think it could work out

Today's ramen:


I was pretty happy with both the broth and the chicken with this one. The broth was homemade chicken bone broth, and I did the traditional method where the flavorings are kept separate, which gave me a lot of control. 1/2 tsp doubianjiang (it's pretty oily), 1 tsp gochujang, a pinch of gochugaru and dashi powder, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and additional salt. I didn't put mirin but I probably should have to cut some of the tang; it was still great though, with a balanced heat, and the richness of the borth was the main thing.

The chicken was perfect, after preparing it based on how Marion's Kitchen did it in a video: slow cook the chicken in the broth to tenderize it and also leach out additional fat into the broth, then pat it dry, oil and season the skin and put it under a broiler to crisp up. I ate this with chopsticks and that chicken was perfect -- peel off the crispy skin and the underlying thigh I could just dig in with the chopsticks and pull off morsels since it was so tender

It can't be too hard for GRRM to poo poo out a story, even Tom Clancy manages to write a new video game every other year.

This is pretty e/n but it’s become clear to me now, looking over the years and my many, many starts and restarts in Baldur’s Gate, Pillars of Eternity, tyranny, Divinity Original Sin, dragon age, Skyrim, dark souls, basically every fantasy rpg, including MMOs, I am most comfortable and happiest when my character is a guy or girl in full-plate and on the frontline. I can’t do range. I can’t be squishy. Plate armour is the coolest armour

I think I’ve found, me.

Ofc in every Fallout I’ve always just been a rifle sneaky guy, never really done melee, so who knows

After rebooting and playing the tutorial maybe Squadrons will be kind of neat? It plays well enough (at first glance better than the spaceships in Battlefront 2) though I could probably use a "match speed of target" button... was that in the XWTF games or something I'm remembering from like Freespace or something? It is feeling like a mix of those and the Rogue Squadron games, which I assume was their goal.

Maybe this whole "play the war from both sides" thing will end up with some Ace Combat level of pathos lol, I am also playing as two ladies and while it seems like bare minimum characterization so were the old games and it is nice to have the option
