I almost beat Tears of the Kingdom, I should really go back and just finish the damn thing. Baldur’s Gate is what’s grabbing most of my time lately. Love SF6, but I can’t do ranked, my old-man reflexes are just not up to it, but it’s the most fun I’ve had with the series since Third Strike for sure. Love the new…

Yeah, it was all right. Not great, not terrible, just a fairly average Blumhouse movie. Matthew Lillard was a lot of fun, but he generally is.

It’s been a ridiculous year. Just in the second half of it and not counting indie games, I do not have the time to divide between Tears of the Kingdom, Street Fighter 6, Armored Core 6, Final Fantasy 16, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Remnant 2.

Every time I read about internet people, it makes me glad I know nothing about internet people. Always seems like they’re either selling their body fluids in one form or another, being outed for grooming underage fans, or killing themselves through sheer stupidity.

The internet had potential. Monetizing it was a mistake.

I always kind of enjoyed that because it was disconcerting. Being stuck over holiday break at school felt very liminal.

I didn’t like her at first, but after a bit, I found her sheer dedication to being an edgelord even when the others tell her to tone it down a little pretty funny. After the craziness that happens in the mountain pass and monastery, I got really invested in her character arc, which continued during her romance path.…

Apparently we’re supposed to dislike Shadowheart for being racist against the Gith, who obviously did nothing wrong.

It’s kinda cute though.

“We need this industry to keep going in this area,” said Fulton. “We need the employment. We need the people. We need it for our schools, libraries, all that good stuff.”

That’s how you get a blood-drinking stinger in your armpit.

Huh, I had no idea he’d also done Underwater, which was surprisingly not-bad. I really liked Love and Monsters as well. Just watched No One Will Save You today, and it was pretty good too, although I have next to no idea what happened in the end. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on Duffield as a director, he’s done some…

But the Steam discussion boards called it Starflop! Were they lying? Surely, gamers weren’t wrong about something. (I’ve also heard it called Starfailed, Wokefield, Scamfield, and cleverest of all, Fartfield.)

I can’t for the life of me figure out why this game in particular has the True Gamers rattled. On the Steam forums, so far I’ve seen it called “Starfailed,” “Scamfield,” and the cleverest of all, “Fartfield.” I’m 100% sure someone has called it “Wokefield.” I’m just gonna call it Cloverfield for the hell of it. These…

Rubicon is a mining planet with volcanic terrain.

At this point, I think they’ll be pissed off if Starfield is good, because they’re so invested in it being a mess. They’ll be happier if it’s bad, because that means they were right about something on the internet.

He should make God Emperor of Dune and just go completely all in on the weirdness of it, and since it’s his last one, he can just not give a shit about whether people understand it or not. Make something weirder than the 1980s Lynch movie.

I assume it’s because of Kotaku being blacklisted by Bethesda a few years back. Every article about one of their games has a snarky attitude. I’m just glad to have a big new sci-fi universe that’s somewhat realistic and serious in tone - feels like the last one of those we got was Mass Effect.

Clever girl.

I’m thinking I’m probably still just a little bit more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash.
