They should've put X5 in Vol. 1 and added Command Mission to Vol. 2, the way it is right now I almost want to get both. I won't, but it's kinda unnerving.

X6 is better than X5 and X3. Low bar I know, but it's true.

The only reason X6 can be seen in a positive light is because of the existence of X7 and X8

I would probably buy a Megaman Zero Collection that had a larger screen canvas or something.

And also save states because Zero 1 is a loving pain in the rear end without those.

Oh hey I finished Prey despite it bugging out on me. Good game but I don't know if I'll ever feel like playing it again; completed basically everything on my first run through so there's not much else to be done but wander around a spaceship taking pretty pictures

The twist was pretty obvious (probably because it was really blatantly choreographed in all the little flashback scenes super early on), but I liked it nonetheless. The achievement I unlocked said I managed to get the most empathetic ending, but it doesn't look like there could be much variance between them beyond the panel of robots judging you for not doing a sidequest. At least in Dishonored you got a slightly different final level depending on how much of a good guy you were, but in Dishonored 2 and now Prey, there's very little difference beyond a couple of different dialogue lines. I still think Death of the Outsider was the worst for this, where the chaos system is just nonexistent and you basically get to pick which of two video files you want to play before the credits. I like all these games, but the morality systems seem to be getting more and more shallow.

uh anyway video games are good, mostly

I liked Prey's moral choices because they actually felt like moral choices. They graded me on a lot of stuff that I did without thinking much about it because I just felt it was the right choice and I never expected to actually be judged at the end.

i hope hk gives me the wall jump soon

I thought the Wall Jump was the second ability everyone got, after the initial Dash, but I've seen people breaking the order of Hollow Knight by accident so often I honestly don't even know if there's a true, definite path you should be following. Follow your guts, I guess.

Also, the boss that gives the Wall Jump is the one where you realize that Team Cherry put some loving effort into these fights, so enjoy it, it's going to be great.

I used to bite my cheeks a lot when I got nervous, but when I got braces and couldn't do it anymore I began doing it to my lips. Wish I could quit this but I often find myself only tasting some blood and going "Oh, I did it again..."

And right now I'm thinking what else I could eat for breakfast since the yogurt I had left from yesterday wasn't enough. Then play something, I guess.

Pretty sure you shouldn't go to the same psychiatrist. I've been advised to not even go to the same psychiatrist as other family members as it can muddle things, I figure a couple would have the same issue.

I'm gonna be blunt and say I don't understand why we should be worried about this at all since all the psychiatrist does is prescribe the meds depending on how we're doing and the info they get from the therapist since they operate out of the same building.

We're so intertwined with one another that separating us would just create a lot of problems since KCB helps me get through my issues and I help her with getting through her issues and the therapist and psychiatrist both agree that keeping us in the loop is a good thing since it means we can create plans and tackle them together, so when there's something I need to be working on, KCB knows what that is and we can spend the session figuring out how best for her to help with that, or vice versa.

Like, I can understand this being an issue if this were a scenario like how when I was younger, I'd be in therapy and have my mother there as well and that meant I never actually got any help because my mother was the source of my problems and I couldn't very well say that while she was in the room with me, but with KCB and I, we're like each others' support structures and we've grown together in such a way that even though we are two humans so broken that we can't even hold ourselves up, we've managed to work together crippled master style to get through life.

The whole thing's purpose is exactly so you don't influence each other during sessions or that the psychiatrist themselves isn't influenced by the other during one's session but if the medical professional is fine with it, sure, it must not be harming both of you.

I don't know why but for the last few months sometimes I wake up with people calling my name. Sometimes it's a hush, sometimes it's a familiar voice, sometimes it's a desperate scream, and it's always specifically and only my first name. Today it was my father's angry yelling and I actually got up a bit scared before remembering we haven't talked in years.

Supposedly it's about a series of mysterious murders in a near-future Tokyo and deals with AI(Artifical Intelligence), large-scale surveillance and AI(Love).

Probably going also to be batshit crazy timeline hopping or time traveling too, going by the previous series.

Dungeon Fighter Online doesn't let you customize the looks of a character since each class has a specific design to them, but you can get avatar items that let you change how they look. So of course this is what my Exorcist looks like.

In the Dishonored games it's really easy to accidentally kill people but there's no way to un-kill them. If they ever make another one I think they should give you an ability that brings dudes back to life so you can go "my bad" or find even more devious ways of killing them.

Isn't that an actual gameplay mechanic in InFamous?

Technically killing everyone means no one witnessed you. Galaxy brain stealth.

Pretty sure MGSV runs by this exact logic. There is not one to witness you if you leave no witnesses.
