Jeez, there’s even more of a slog post ARR? It’s already felt pretty slog-y to me, and I’ve been focusing on MSQs and job quests. I’ve hit level 33, have my Monk job crystal, and have my chocobo set up to heal me in battle, but I’m still doing level 25 MSQs.

If anyone’s looking for a good third-party replacement, I can recommend 8bitdo. I’ve had a fantastic experience with their SN30 Pro+, and their new Pro 2 looks to be just some tweaks to an already-great design.

I thought it was pretty good, the lead-up with revisiting the prior Expunge sections was fun and the boss fight tied up a lot of the gameplay themes with parkour and data codes. I don’t have Anarchy, so I can’t cheese bosses, but with Hawkmoon, Null Composure, and Seventh Seraph SAW, it was pretty decent, using the…

Dang, haven’t heard about Ricegum since the days of iDubbbz’s Content Cop. Why am I not surprised he’s shilling for pump-and-dump crypto schemes?

I feel like revisiting New Leaf now more than ever. New Horizons improved on it in so many ways, but now that we’re over a year into its lifespan and there haven’t been any significant content updates in months, it feels as wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. NL gave me the feeling that I was truly exploring and…

Unfortunately, that seems to be Niantic’s MO. As an off-and-on player since day 1, I know how much fun PoGo is and how it can bring people together, even now when we’re 5 years out from launch, and I know that Niantic really likes to do stuff like this that doesn’t make sense. It’s not like people are going to be…

Oh man, I really want to go snowboarding now. I didn’t go this last season because of COVID, I normally go with a large group and get a discounted rate, but there’s no way to do that while keeping everyone physically distanced. Guess I’ll start up SSX Tricky to tide me over until when Shredders releases and the season…

Can confirm, snowboarding is not easy to learn. I’ve been snowboarding for a few years and only now have I worked up enough courage to try blue square (intermediate) runs. Also, don’t try teaching someone to snowboard if you’re not an instructor. There’s a saying at my local hill: friends don’t teach friends how to…

Never been into FNAF, but I’ve met a bunch of people in the furry community who are fans or were introduced to the furry community through FNAF. I wasn’t exactly surprised by this, seeing as he did make Christian media before FNAF, but I’m disappointed he hasn’t moved away from the bigoted BS that so many Christians…

Oh, absolutely do the IPS screen mod. It’s kinda tricky, but it’s so worth it. Makho on Youtube has a really good build log on it, and RetroModding has a pretty good guide. Something I learned from the Game Boy Discord is that there’s a little bit of plastic that needs to be trimmed from the viewing window in order to…

Makes sense, even the more “normal” parts of 4chan are still associated with the absolute shitfests that are /b/ and /pol/.

What’s that? I think I hear the high seas calling… 

They/them pronouns are used all the time when people are referring to someone whose gender is unknown. It’s like that, but referring to a specific person. It’s not grammatically incorrect, and even if it was, language is a fluid thing that can change with time and culture.

I don’t exactly know either. I’m guessing you’re in the grays until you’ve gotten a comment starred by the blog’s account, and if you’re not then approved people can still pull your comment out of the grays by starring it or replying? I’m approved over on Kotaku and it seems like that’s how it works. Little bit…

I just know that this comment section will be full of supportive comments congratulating Instagram on a common-sense feature that makes sense!

Does that mean Apple is accountable for content on Reddit since it hosts several Reddit clients on the App Store? Both Reddit and itch.io host user-generated content, and both may have NSFW user-generated content. Granted, Reddit is social media while itch.io is a storefront, but I don’t see why that’d make the rules a…

I used Oculus Home like… twice. Once when I first got my Rift S and once yesterday when it booted me directly into Home and I noticed everything was gone. Did anyone else’s Oculus software break and have to be reinstalled? Whenever I put on my headset, it’d show me the Oculus logo then restart.

Meh, still not really enough to get me interested. I love Watch Dogs 2, but the way that Legion leans hard into cyberpunk turned me off. How WD2 shows the near future where things could devolve into cyberpunk was super interesting to me because we never get to see how the descent into full-on cyberpunk begins.

That sounds like something a bunch of dumbass teenagers would do. I’m in.

Weirdly enough, I don’t have much of a backlog. I have more of a wishlist of games I want to buy and play. There’s games I got really into and really should finish (Fallout NV), and ones that I bought and played for a little but haven’t gotten that far in (Slime Rancher and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX), but I don’t…
