God of War was good but I too am over dark cinematic AAA games

Also I wanna talk about Siralim Ultimate a little bit and how it's miles better than Siralim 3 in terms of gameplay flow. I'm not as far in as S3 but I'm already having way more fun because of the class system. In S3, classes were kind of weird because they provided mostly negligible bonuses, like "+1% attack per level" but here they're much more structured, and my team is hilarious.

My class is Sorceror, which means all of my spells go off twice. The starter monster is an Octopus Mage, who casts Magic Missile any time someone casts a spell. Yes, that also goes off twice. So, if it casts Magic Missile once, it hits, procs two additional hits, goes off again, procs the two hits again. He is nuts.

But he's not strong enough. So I have a second monster, called the Salamander, who has a 50% chance to cause all spells to go off twice. This doesn't potentially double the casts of Magic Missile to 12, because remember, each of the original hits procs two more casts. Four main hits, with four bounces each, so it's TWENTY total hits if you get really lucky.

Not enough damage, because that's only one monster, and you've got room for six. So just to make sure I survive, I have one tank monster who I have fused to have two skills - one makes him heal 10% max HP every time anyone takes a turn, and the other inflicts Weakness on all enemies when he gets attacked. His job is to cast provoke every turn and inflict Weakness.

Salamander has two spells. One inflicts Bleeding on all enemies, and the second inflicts a random debuff on all enemies. The second one is the most useful of the two, because remember, we cast all spells twice, so it actually inflicts two debuffs. But, the funny thing about Salamander is that he also has a second ability, which casts Corpse Explosion every time an enemy does with a status ailment, and it casts once per ailment they're inflicted with. If they were inflicted with, say, three ailments, once from the double-cast debuff and once from my tank getting hit, that's six casts of Corpse Explosion, per enemy! Two enemies die, that's twelve hits! And, it has a 50% chance of getting cast twice!

Basically the game's nuts. That's just one example strategy I've found, because I also am eyeing another strategy where you cast a spell on an ally that kills it and distributes its stats to enemies, and then another monster uses two passives that increases its stats by 20%, and then also replicates all stat gains and passes them to allies. You combine that with a Unicorn who revives one ally every time it attacks and just continually blow up your ally for massive stat buffs. Game rules.

My older sister would reheat spaghetti in a microwave without any water so it'd get all superheated, gross, and oddly crystalized, and then she'd put it between some bread and eat it as a spaghetti sandwich.

Been thinking about picking up CrossCode again

I got about 2/3-3/4 of the way through last year, back in July - it's been long enough now that I'd have to start over, which for that game is... daunting

Briefly played some Yakuza 3, and that sure is a PS3 game. Not sure I have the patience for three of those before getting to Y6, but we'll see.

I really liked CrossCode but I agree that the areas feel a little long. It wasn’t so bad in hindsight but it made long play sessions a little tiring. There is one area where you have two dungeons back to back, and you can choose which one to do first. That was a little much and I had to give myself a breather.

However, the story was very good and there are some moving parts that brought a tear to my eye, and the combat was engaging all the way through the end. I didn’t grind for endgame equipment materials but there was only a few parts where I felt like my gear hadn’t naturally stayed in the same power level as the enemies.

I hear the DLC is out and I should pick it up and see what it’s all about, but I know I’m going to have to remember endgame combat like right away. Those duels with Apollo aren’t loving around.

I drink coffee black but I read recently that if you microwave it when it gets cold, it destroys the caffeine. I have no idea if that's true or not but I just make more coffee now. gently caress keurig though! Offices love it, but it's so bad for the environment.

How long does caffeine chill without microwaving? II usually make a bigger pot of coffee and drink it the next day too, just cold/room-temp.
