aside from bad dialogue pacing and having a typically nonsensical jrpg story, golden sun games are actually pretty good.

this is so incredibly wrong

there is no reason for anyone, ever, to play golden sun. it has absolutely nothing that you can't get from many other, better games.

Ooh boy, Little Nightmares is an argument for how good Playdead actually is at creating cinematic platforms because 30 minutes in and this suuuucks. It's pretty and creepy but the 3D environment coupled with physics based puzzles creates these depth perception issues. It's almost like I'm playing a British isometric Amiga game. And the checkpoint system is horrendous. Inside and Limbo at least don't waste your time when you die.

I enjoyed it quite a lot, but I do recall the opening being the least good part. :shrug:

i just got back into Slay the Spire and it's even better than before. definitely worth picking up for the discounted early access price, as it's basically a complete game right now, with just a bit more incoming before the launch.

check it out if you like Darkest Dungeon and card games

But apparently it’s basically feature-complete

Yeah they're just testing/balancing the third character and adding the last batch of cards, it should be out of EA in a month or so, at which point the price will go up so BUY NOW!

The Dragon of Dojima is canonically a virgin (probably)

I have one digression about character backgrounds. This is just my own interpretation and as such isn’t official or anything like that, and I hope people read it as a kind of lip service, but I think that Kiryu is probably a virgin. Probably.

The charm of Pagan Min is that unlike every other antagonist in the franchise he's hilarious and genuinely wants the main character (and by extension you, the player) to like him despite the fact that he's an awful human being.

well i played "sorta" all the way through Everything in one sitting last night. by the end of the session i was getting a bit frustrated at how the game worlds are always so small (like, if you're flying a plane on a planet, if you fly in a straight line you loop back around within minutes) especially with some like the "city street" worlds which i would have liked to have been "infinitely explorable". also like if you're a small bug and you head towards a tree you will literally never get there. but i mean, i understand budgets and all that.

lots of times it felt like Alan Watts was watching me play. i get that some of the talky bits are programmed to begin in a certain place (like super/subspace, or space, or whatever) but several times while a talk was playing i would shift up or down a few levels and yet the talk would specifically mention things i was encountering, which is impossible to program since the talks aren't cut-ups, they're always one contiguous clip. so whenever that happened it was really cool.

i went to bed feeling like i had figured everything out and become one with the universe. woke up thinking of The Myth of Sisyphus and have felt all day like nothing i could possibly do matters, at all, and feeling like poo poo about it.

recommended.

i dont imagine i have a lot to gain from Everything since I've already listened to Watts lectures while tripping but boy do I appreciate the teams hustle

It's weird, I've certainly heard Alan Watts lectures before as I recognize a lot of them immediately, but I guess since I was running in circles where he would be considered more of a good speaker than an idea man, I never really listened to him by choice. For me it's always been Leary, McKenna, Wilson, and Stang if I can manage to sift through the literal thousands of hours that man has talked to find the hundred or so hours where he made all the sense in the world (his rants on heroin vs. alcohol and the consumerist illusion that signifiers reflect who you are, rather than the other way round).

It's weird and sad that he was an alcoholic that died comparitively young (McKenna died at 53, of brain cancer ironically enough, but everyone else lived a lot longer, and Stang is still going as if he's in his 30s at goddamn sixty-five )

Real drums are all about getting the bounce right, which sadly is next to impossible on the stock Rock Band kits. :(

Yeah there are a lot of ways to play drums without using much upper body strength. It really depends on what kind of stuff you wanna play.

What you really need are strong wrists.
