They begin again

What should I play after FF7R? Here’s what has me interested lately.

Getting back to Dark Souls sounds like more than I want to bite off right now, but I’m excited to keep pushing further into it

Miles Morales is very appealing at $30. I loved the first and I dig a shorter open world game.

I need to get back to/restart Kiwami 1. I miss Yakuza!

When I find the time I need to really settle into Disco Elysium. It deserves my full focus for sure.

TLOU2 is something I’m getting more curious about by the day and I know I really should get around to it sooner than later.

There's not much to say unfortunately but I got involved with a guy who was the head of a local Buddhist organisation when my physician recommended him to me for counselling in my late teens/early twenties. Anyway it turned out he was a big martial arts guy and since I was a black belt in my own right he invited me to train under him and also help teach the class he held for his son and some neighbourhood kids. We studied meditation as part of our marital arts training and I had just begun to get more involved with his organisation and study the Buddhist precepts proper when some things happened and I had to move away

Its kinda crazy for me to think about nowadays cuz if things hadn't turned out like they did and I had stayed under his tutelage I imagine my life would have turned out very different than it did! But that early exposure to buddhism definitely had a huge influence on my outlook on life even if I'm not as in touch with it these days as I might be

Also ours was a sort of modernist zen buddhist sect and wasnt too concerned with any of the reincarnation bits as much

That’s great, thank you for sharing! I definitely lean towards that modern western zen angle. It’s good to hear there are ones that aren’t too concerned in that area.

It is interesting how things like that can touch us and make a lasting impression. The first time I even heard the word Buddha as a kid was from my next door neighbor. He used to travel around finding interesting things and had one of those ball shaped weeping buddha statues. I really wanted one and he said if I helped him clean up some of the other statues and decorations he had around and properly oil the Buddha (ayyyy) I could have it. He told me about the meaning and all at a level I could understand and it stuck with me until I could learn more.

I’m quick to jump the gently caress away from religious/spiritual things though the topic has been important to me for as long as I can remember. It’s great though when someone connects to you in that sense of peeling back the veil just enough, or maybe helping you reassess and look at things differently. It doesn’t even have to be anything big I guess, clearly a neighbor giving me a statue was enough to kickstart something!

sorry to anyone new here who isn’t used to the random wild derails lmao thinking about weird stuff 24/7 is the only thing that saves my busted brain :burger:

Got “Ghost of Tsushima” from a friend and so far love it. I don’t know what black magic Sucker Punched used but goddamn this game looks good, and even runs surprisingly well on my base PS4.

It helps I’m a sucker for open world games and this is right up my alley.

Sadly studying after work until the end of October so I barely play more than 20-30 min bursts. So I'm still with GR Breakpoint, PES2021 (yes, football but is nice to play two matches and quit for a week) and some indie shooters on PC.

My plan is to play and beat Sekiro after the tests so I can be ready for Elden Ring. Hell, I'm even going to try and stream the whole journey!

For a while I thought “well, I mean, graphically and combat wise and music wise Sushi Ghost is objectively superior to Assassin’s Creed… maybe the writing and acting are just leaps and bounds ahead and that’s why…” so I watched some cut scenes on YouTube and oh my no that’s not it at all. Sushi Ghost really is just better than Assassin’s Creed in every way, if you think Sushi Ghost is boring but Assassin’s Creed somehow isn’t then I fundamentally do not understand your tastes. The acting in Assassin’s creed Greece for both the main character and the quest NPCs is so bad, Sushi Ghost at least sounds like real people talking.

AC is better at virtual tourism and is like 2x longer. That’s all I can think of. Oh and the decade of rich lore spanning like 32 games.

That's cool, between that and Disco Elysium it's great to see mid to low budget dialog heavy games get solid VA. It helps quite a bit depending on the game.
