I started playing Nioh and it's pretty fun and I enjoy the level design but christ it has a lot of systems to remember, I think Sekiro did it better but I am enjoying Nioh's level design a lot more.

godfather 3

When I first watched the trilogy I assumed that prevailing opinion on 3 was typical fans not knowing poo poo about movies and the hate for Sofia's acting was unwarranted but that's one of the few times where I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, it has to be the worst performance in a major motion picture of all time.

Any Jazz fans in here? Been really digging Freddie Hubbard's "Backlash" lately, especially the song "Little Sunflower" just really good vibe music with a tinge of the psychedelic.

If anyone is interested in getting into Jazz I recommend Blue Note's compilations, they cover a wide array of artists and styles and usually feature some of the best music of the time. In my mind Jazz is one of the only good American inventions, it's done a lot for me over the years to help with PTSD and anxiety disorders.

I just beat Jedi Fallen Order and man that's a fun game with a great ending. Fun the whole way through. Wasn't expecting as much platforming and exploration as it had so that was a nice bonus.

I am interested in the game but I'm afraid i'll burn out and never finish it, was it like 30+ hours? I tend to burn out on a game if it's longer than that with a few exceptions for something like Persona 5

Well at least you don't have to have a moment like my friend did, where she had something of a substance abuse issue and nearly died while hanging out with her super drunk friend at said friend's place.

And then lost all connected friends over the resulting lawsuit / fact she gave up drinking in the aftermath. She balked at suing the woman regardless of her bloody injuries but I was like "friend, your son almost didn't have a mom over another person's decisions, maybe its time to get mad?"

Yea it could have gotten a lot worse for me. I lost my career but I got my health for the most part and i'm still fairly young, thankful I don't have kids to be subjected to my very slow suicide attempt

I'm having a lot of fun with the new dragon ball game. It's got lots of mindless collecting and side quests which is a plus for me, and the semi open worlds are well designed with interesting little things to look at. I think anyone with nostalgia for dragon ball would like it, my only complaint is it glosses over a lot of the more detailed elements of the story, I don't imagine someone who isn't already familiar with the beats would see the story as coherent at all.

is that the karakot one? I saw the title but I hadn't really heard anything about it. How different is the gameplay from the Xenoverse games?

I've only played the old xenoverse games but it's pretty different, combats like a simplified version of final fantasy 15.

It's not a great game but it's been a good time killer for me, I also got it from a christmas gift card but i'd realistically pay 30-40 for it.

ime alcoholics need to change their social structures because they always exist in a solar system of other alcoholics. Just orbiting each other and encouraging drinking, if she's still friends with the same people and hanging out in the same spots she's going to keep drinking herself into oblivion. Fighting is an option but flighting is also a perfectly valid choice that doesn't at all reflect negatively on you as a person. Good luck with whatever route you choose homie.

i am a recovering alcoholic and never drank with others, at least not over the last 5 years of my drinking which was daily, you’re right about that type of alcoholic but a non social alcoholic needs in my eyes purpose to be able to quit.

As someone who has been a very lonesome drunk amongst only sober friends or alone I think the best thing you can do is be loving whenever possible and try to find something that can distract from the need to drink be it a new hobby or a trip somewhere. There’s always SMART which i prefer to AA but there’s always AA too.

For all the talk about how companies these days give in to fan service and ruin their IPs Nintendo does the opposite of that, they rarely give their fans what they want, it's just usually of such a high quality that the fans are okay with it. I was thinking today how crazy it was that Mario only had one mainline game on the N64, and I remember the outrage of the added water mechanic in the gaming magazines and forums of the day when Sunshine was announced, and then they did it again by making Zelda cartoonish, which worked out fine but again a thing that caused a big outrage online and in magazines, but an argument could be made that the gamecube was less successful than Nintendo's other systems because they made these decisions but then again the Wii came and bucked all notions of what a console was at the time and it became a massive success.

I don't understand a lot of what they do, but it seems to be working. I just wish we got more Mario games, and I found Odyssey to a disappointment to be honest. I heard super 3D land may be getting ported and i've always wanted to try that I hear it's great.

Been playing Dark Souls 2 since it's the only one I haven't seen most of. FROMSOFT just makes games I enjoy exploring.

I just finished Souls 1, replaying 3 and Bloodborne right now. I think Bloodborne might be the best game narrative of all time, the lore is intense. I might replay Sekiro too but I have also not played through Souls 2, the health mechanic turned me off when it came out but i'd probably not mind it now.

Start with remastered, the bosses on 3 will absolutely wreck you and may turn you off the game entirely. Remastered is mechanically perfect, eases you into all the soulsbourniro concepts great.

What do you think happens to bands that get kind of popular amongst the trendy and in tune with music, maybe tour the world a bit, then don't really have another song or album as successful and fade away. Say they've been out of the regular job grind a few years touring/ being in a band, then suddenly it goes away. How do you get a regular job again no one would ever believe you if you told them you were in a mildly, briefly successful underground act. I wonder as someone who consumes a lot of music and sometimes just never hears from some bands again. Anyone here have experience in or around that?

Joker was artless trash that makes redditors feel cultured. Parasite was a great movie but not nearly as weird as I was told it was going in, which is all I had heard about it that it was trippy but I just thought it was a well acted and shot tragically funny story. The pacing was about the best you'll see in a movie ever, i've only seen this and snowpiercer but both are fantastic movies.
