One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Are there any games that give you the same joy as getting into your second cup of coffee on a Monday morning? It's a complex kind of joy ..

Been playing Resident Evil 2, I've now finished up both Leon and Claire's first runs and readying up for the second. The boss fights are kinda trash and the basic gun is awful against even standard zombies (you do get plenty of ammo for it at least) but man the game looks great and there's something compelling about how cheesily earnest it is.

Annette Birkin is a piece of poo poo though, nothing's changing my mind on that :colbert:

The basic gun absolutely sucks, but idk I kinda like that? RE2 is one of the few games I've seen that actually sells zombies as a legitimate threat; it might be a slow moving shambler, but it's just so difficult to actually kill one of the drat things.

I have a lot of games to play but the ones I really want to play the most are all the narrative ones (NORCO, Citizen Sleeper, Perfect Tides, finally getting all the way through Disco Elysium) but I’m worried I will burn out on them if I just play that style so I need to pace them out with more gamey games

I'm waiting for the QD-OLED monitor I ordered after Christmas to arrive before I play anything that looks too nice, so I've mostly been working on escalation missions in Hitman 3 and finishing Pillars of Eternity 2. Once it arrives I'm going to play RDR2, RE:Village, and finish Far Cry 6. I've never seen a proper HDR screen (let alone OLED) up close outside of insanely brightly lit stores before so I'm quite excited.

It's cause of how large Japanese Companies work, the President is basically a king and all the management people he interacts with are sycophants who will never gainsay him until he retires or dies.

i think this is less "SE is going to be run into the ground by insane tyrant matsuda" and more that pivoting away immediately from a clearly unprofitable direction is a great way to spook investors, who have typically invested in you because they thought that direction was going to profitable and may still be holding out hope

i'm sure it'll be quietly dropped over the next 2 years and never mentioned again

From what I read about what the Square-man actually said, there's apparently some big Digitalization thing being pushed by the Japanese government so there might be some sweet government subsidies in it for Squeenix

Give no-build fortnite a try. It is pretty good.

Of course if you do not like 3rd person shooters or BRs you most likely will not like no-build.

I'm viable ladies.

IMO as a person who has not played it and only outside looking in'd a bit via some youtubers I watch touching it briefly:

Fortnite is a BR bouyed up by being one of the OG f2p BRs with a (fairly) unique gimmick that went on to viscously exploit kids for as much money as they could while building a brand and enough money to start getting mainstream celebrities, franchises and brand names in it to keep boosting itself up even higher.


Unfortunately it did not stop its predatory practices and instead made them even worse, and now Epic is getting rightly clapped by the FTC for horrendously breaking COPPA over its knee.


Maybe Fortnite is actually a decent to good game now but I certainly couldn't play it in good faith.

Yeah I originally quit after getting tired of the building and wishing for a no-build mode. Now we have the no-build and epic made tons of improvements to movement and gunplay so the game feels great to play. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

That is ok. There is a car dealership in my area that has a type of font that irritates me.
