Still playing Persona 5 Strikers. Just finished Jail #2. Still enjoying it. Not much more to say.

Diving further into Persona 5 Strikers this weekend, and I’m enjoying it so far. I don’t think the dungeon design is as compelling or well-thought-out as in P5, but I think the overall package is impressive.

The one where they made up fake bands and got Coachella attendees to wax rhapsodic about them was hilarious.

What I’d say about YLAD is that the problem isn’t so much that the jobs system doesn’t allow you to synergize or that the jobs are all too similar — if anything the game is really good at combining character-specific advancement with different jobs by making some skills permanent across jobs once you unlock them — the…

Nelly doesn’t obey the proper rules of English orthography.

It also literally did happen. I bought my Switch in a bundle with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from Gamestop’s online store.

Bring back Little Big League!

Ehh, Mariah Carey is a shitty person who abuses her employees. I have no trouble believing that she’d make shit up for her memoirs.

Important thing to remember about Control’s combat: You can and should occasionally use cover, especially when you’re being overwhelmed, but the best way to avoid getting hit is to dodge, dodge, dodge. Third-person shooters have trained us as players to hide behind cover and pop out every now and then to get a shot,…

Almost done with Maquette (I think), and I have to say, this is a strong early candidate for most disappointing game of the year. It has a lot of flaws, but I want to zero in on a couple of things that I don’t think can be fixed by game’s end. First: the writing. The game tells your classic “boy and girl fall in love,…

This. 100%. If Snyder were a beloved, critically-acclaimed filmmaker, then folks would be siding with Fisher instead of twisting themselves into knots trying to justify why their contemptuous dismissals of his allegations are “woke.”

I had completely forgotten that this was coming out, but your review has intrigued me! Plus it’s only 7 episodes, so it should be a quick watch.

I’ve more or less escaped the daily grind of Genshin Impact for now. Instead of focusing on daily quests just for the (admittedly pretty good) quest rewards, I’m just chipping away at it at my own pace. Being diligent about daily maintenance takes 45 minutes or more, depending on how much time you want to spend in…

I will never forgive the Academy for snubbing A Silent Voice and nominating the fucking Boss Baby instead. (At least Coco was a worthy winner.)

I tried to play Genshin Impact last night, but it took so long to update that by the time I launched it, I did a single daily commission and gave up for the evening. I’ve got better things to do with my life, man!

This weekend, I plan to finish NUTS. It’s very reminiscent of Firewatch in the way it marries wilderness with paranoia, but whereas Firewatch was more of a “walking simulator,” NUTS is more of a genuine puzzle game, and to be honest, somewhat of a tedious one. The gameplay involves setting up surveillance cameras to…

I’ve never played a Fire Emblem game, so I can’t confirm, but isn’t this kinda what you do in that series between the tactical battles? Get your students/subjects/what-have-you to fuck?

Yes, we are all following The Exciting Adventures of dirtside, Internet Commenter.

And you didn’t have to make a comment about Ray Fisher’s allegations, but you still did, so...
