I mean, I get your ideology but on a long scale you're renting everything.

Check the classic games forum for advice. My last check with PS3 is it requires pretty beefy hardware due to its weird architecture but maybe there were advancements/I don't know your bro's PC.

Playing Ace Attorney Dual Destinies.

I'm in the first day of trial stuff. Blackquill is a tool and his hawk sucks. Apollo still feels like someone who would love to be in basically any other game than the one he's stuck in. I feel bad for him.

When's a good time to do the dlc case? Is it best saved for after the main game or is it better to play through earlier?

You can play the DLC between cases and 2 and 3 if you like, that's when it takes place chronologically. Or you can save it for the end. It's the best case in the game so it's a nice one to go out on but chronological is cool too.

FFXIV:

Seems like crafting in Heavensward is a bit more annoying than it was in ARR, for example smelting a single metal ingot used to take maybe two ores, now it takes like five plus an additional item that can only be gathered at specific times. As you level up your gathering classes you do get more abilities to help gather more items at once, so, fine, I guess that makes sense

But many crafting materials can’t be gathered and instead have to be gotten from defeating enemies, and the amount you need also went up. Like in ARR, 1 animal skin = 1 leather, always, whereas now you need three skins for each piece of leather. And it’s not like enemies drop higher amounts than before.

Sending out my NPC butler every hour, interrupting my GamePlay, so he can get 5 skins, that’s not even 2 leather, and I need 3 leather to finish this leatherworking quest, gimme a break !!

No. I have honour, also they’re crazy expensive

But yes I had gaming seshes in ARR where I did nothing but craft/gather and it was fun, I just did my first such sesh in HW and got much less done. Feels bad

How does Stormblood+later change crafting?

i mean, my actual recommendation is to not do crafting at all in ffxiv, because it's not good

but the hw part is the worst by far

i think in one of the very first cs matches i ever played someone told me i had to learn to "support properly" by brining enemies low without killing them so i wouldn't steal kills

but in mobas sniping kills out from under people who complained about it was a fun minigame

If you do get ps3 emulation working, you should play katamari forever. I feel like nobody ever talks about it but it has all the best katamari levels in one place.

My son is all in on the Ace Attorney lore and apparently the original trilogy was supposed to be the end of Phoenix's story but Capcom insisted on shoehorning him into Apollo Justice and then gave the series to a different director afterwards.

Honestly I like how they handled Phoenix in the 3DS games, which I was surprised by. Without going into spoilers he basically serves as an NPC mentor figure in Dual Destinies until the very end and the main narrative conceit of Spirit of Justice means it doesn’t feel forced that he has to deal with adversity in his trials because the system is so hedged against him.

Heck, I think 6-1 might be my favorite first trial in the series.
