I make a seemingly good comment and anticipate lots of likes. Realize a day later when I have no likes that I came upon an article seven months old and it was just randomly retweeted into my timeline. 

Sports franchise game come out with the same product year after year. They might be prettier, but they’re functionally no different than something you played five years ago. They all get the same B grade, because why not? They’re not being reviewed for what they could be, but for what they are. I’d like it if more…

This reminds me of the the discussion around Borderlands 3. Prettier, but essentially just more of the same formula. As a BL diehard I didn’t care because MORE BORDERLANDS, but I will admit that I didn’t stick around after maxing out two characters or come back to the DLC. Looking back, I think the lack of innovation…

An actual Rainbow Six: Quarantine mode would be pretty solid, though. A bunch of dudes break down my apartment door, grapple in from the window of my second story place, it’s just me without pants, a little drunk from day drinking, in front of a laptop watching Netflix for the 6th hour of the day.

What an asshole.

Lately I’ve been playing more stuff I can pick up and put down at a leisurely pace, most of the time just dicking around. Like Skyrim, for the 1000th hour or something. This weekend I’ll give No Man’s Sky a shot for the first time since it launched. Seems very chill. 

I got my partner one for her birthday and she loved it, though the process usually involved me helping with her back and shoulders. Fine with me, it just meant I wouldn’t experience regular hand cramps anymore. 

God dammit. That’s a good theory I wish I hadn’t read.

Hmm not enough cocaine in the recipe IMO. 

RE Village. First of the series I’ve given a shot and I’m enjoying it a lot. Other than that, some more Wasteland 3 and Returnal.

Just take your time. If you’re making scrambled eggs and you have a half hour to make breakfast, cook them on very low heat and stir them frequently. You’ll be rewarded with the best tasting eggs you’ve ever had.

Finished a Wasteland 3 play through this week but I’m still feeling it. Probably gonna either go back and finish some more side quests or just start a completely new run. Can’t wait for the DLC to pop. 

RIP Kinja tags. Gone but not forgotten. 

Pick up some Air Penny Vs, draw a little Playstation logo, and no one will ever know the difference.

“But you know what?” she offered. “What if you live in the same neighborhood as someone [you break up with]? And you’re at the same grocery store? Breaking up is never easy, so while work does add dimensionality to it, it’s complicated no matter what.”

Ehh, but to be fair, there hasn’t even been a current/next-gen exclusive for the XsX. When we finally see one it’ll probably be $70.

I’m old enough to remember when $40 was the standard. It all looks silly in retrospect, considering when games were $40-$50 you could likely complete them in an hour or two. Just because we’ve all accepted that games are $60 and $70 now doesn’t mean we aren’t also crazy spoiled. 

Love how no one bitches about a $60 full on AAA experience, but $70 is a bridge too far (for a completely new IP!). 

I bought like six cans of crab meat that haven’t been touched.
