Guess it’s a bad week for remakes and re-releases. Well, maybe modders will fix Chrono Trigger at some point.

Ditto is only interesting with the subtext that it’s a failed Mew clone. Past that, it’s just a blob that can breed with anything.

An intellectual construct used to render palatable and understandable our hard-coded response to the stimuli we encounter.

I’m kind of fond of Smithfield’s Chicken & Bar-B-Que tenders. They’re basically just slightly-easier-to-handle pieces of fried chicken breast.

Thankfully, there’s very little in March that’s caught my fancy. After the avalanche of fantastic games in 2017 and January, I could use a break.

Has anyone played The Great Whale Road? It’s some kind of Viking strategy-ish game that’s discounted to $5 on Steam this weekend. I’ve heard mixed things, but am curious.

More Monster Hunter World. I’m running out of things to say about it, but it remains compelling. Blast damage is amazing, and as it’s a status effect rather than an element it is useful even against monsters that are resistant to it. I’m working on the Dodogama set, as it offers not only blast damage buffs but…

As long as Hardee’s breakfast menu stays the same, I don’t care.

Pitting this as the Godly alternative to Black Panther really highlights the white supremacist underpinnings of American evangelicals.

I’m not following it super closely, but he’s past that. Getting that ring was an ordeal. Enjoy the lockpicking minigame! *evil laughter*

If it’s any consolation, the perks seem pretty fun, even quirky. The weaopon-related ones seem mostly to be about unlocking new combos.

I LOVE Legend of Mana! One of my all-time favorite games!

My boyfriend is playing Kingdom Come, and I can assure you, there is indeed a periodic table of stats and skills. It’s incredibly granular, and you seem to earn perks for each individual stat and skill in addition to perks that are unlocked as you advance your “main level.”

I will be tackling some more Monster Hunter World this weekend. I’m in High Rank now and still having a blast, although the prospect of grinding that atrocious Zorah Magdaros quest for its set isn’t exactly getting my blood pumping.

As you become more familiar with the game systems and improve your equipment, the time it takes for you to take down a monster—even an unfamiliar one—drops precipitously. They aren’t nearly as damage-spongy as they might initially seem.

I am not convinced that she’s ever met a gay man who wasn’t a flamboyant theater type. We exist! There are tons of us!

Never actually had lobster, but I quite enjoy crab legs. It’s a lot of work, yes, but not too dissimilar to eating peanuts when you get right down to it. There’s something satisfying about cracking those legs open and extracting the meat.

This is like that King of the Hill where Chuck Mangionne is living in Mega-lo Mart

I live within walking distance of a bustling mall, and I think it’s a model that works in some circumstances and doesn’t work in others. My local mall is located very close to a lot of suburbs, and actually has sidewalks leading to it. Coupled with copious restaurants attached to it and it actually functions as a…

In a dark twist, Monster Hunter World tells you that captured monsters are released back into the wild after being studied, but capturing them actually unlocks quests where you fight the monsters in trap-filled arenas.
