Weird cuz I was just thinking about how the gunplay and weapon variety was blowing my mind. I don’t want to part with any of them! And the Maliwan with 2 elementals to choose from? Love it!

No, I kid. Hiding my guilty pleasure from my current wife was not a wise choice. I only wish I had a girl who approved or even participated in my gaming habits.

Current GF huh? Not too optimistic about this one?

Thanks for the advice shitbag, way to be helpful.

chesskid has a website and an app with tutorials, puzzles and the ability to play others. I was using it to teach and play with my daughter until she decided she didn’t like chess at all. Bummer, but it wasn’t chesskid’s fault, it’s a great app.

I’ll have to give that a try when I’m motivated to go back. Thanks for the advice. I’ve watched a ton of vids on how to cheese, how to do it right,and I’d still get crushed, which is even more discouraging. 

Blood Meridian!!!

I felt this way about Sekiro when I came up against O’rin. She kicked my ass so fast, and to beat her you need divine confetti, that has to be farmed elsewhere, and to get that, it helps to farm those mibu posession balloons, which increase the drop rate for divine confetti. So like 20-30 minutes to farm up enough…

And don’t forget that time Depp wrote, directed and starred in The Brave (1997), about an impoverished Native American who takes a large sum of money to star in a snuff film in order to provide for his family. Uplifting stuff!

Don’t forget the other option, that he’s not dead at all, and paid to have a body double take his place, and is now living abroad with the help of all his rich pedo friends, and will be back at his pedo ways in no time. 

Well hot damn, it’s on Game Pass for $2. Got that first and downloaded a bunch of other stuff, gonna be busy for the next month. Hopefully I can finish everything I want to before I need to cancel.

Yeah it didn’t help that I’d try to crouch behind a crate during a gunfight only to climb on top of it and start pirouetting around like ‘shoot me, shoot me!’

Buying this game tonight goddammit! I didn’t even read past the spoiler warning. I’ve been circling around this game for over a month, I don’t know why I’ve been holding out.

There seems to be a fine line between immersion in games and sheer boredom. The time it takes to brush your horse, or clean your gun? It’s just too much, and the beauty and attention to detail of some of those set pieces just don’t make up for the monotony of the grind.

Finally finished Cuphead last week, after quitting on the penultimate boss months ago. And I thought he was the final one! Weirdly the devil only took me like 2.5 days, the previous one was so brutal I’d spend days on him before I’d take a break and play NMS or Dead Cells. I think I must just be a bad gamer.

Sekiro. I won’t go so far as to say there should be an easy mode, but goddammit O’rin of the Water was the last straw for me. That, and knowing it was only going to continue getting harder made me put it down, and finding the motivation to go back is incredibly difficult.

If you try that in NJ for a nostalgic effect you’ll immediately hit traffic.

Having grown up in NJ I somehow hated both the Boss and Bon Jovi, and 25 years later I pretty much stand by that, although I’ve gained some respect for both, I never choose to listen to either of them, and will most likely change the station if they happen to come on. 

I think IPAs are here to stay, especially now that breweries seem to have backed away from hoppy for hoppiness’s sake, and moved on to more juicy brews. I’ve had some incredibly tasty IPAs recently, like The Mango Beer by Novo out of San Diego. So yummy!
