Last election, I looked at this big map that broke down how people in all the states voted by county and every single state had at least a few areas of blue in them.  Every state except for West Virginia.  It was 100%, solidly red.  

Even as someone who considers themselves a fan of AC...it’s too much for me.  They’re really bad about oversaturating their own market.  But at least it means it doesn’t take long for them to be on sale for like 15 dollars where I’ll eventually get around to playing them.

Now that I’m older, I just have so much less tolerance for games that are so overwhelming in scope.  Kudos to those that enjoy it, but a massive open world with that much to do exhausts me to even think about.

I’d say to play the Ezio trilogy (Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations).  They’re old games, so they can be a bit....janky.  But Ezio is a really great character and the games span most of his life, which is really neat.  They strike a good balance of being an open world with a lot to do and explore without…

Except pretty much nobody NOW thinks nfts are cool...aside from a small group of grifters and the delusional.  

Interspecies Reviewers is one of the more sex positive anime I’ve ever watched...and that really surprised me. Everything is consensual, and while it’s also transactional it’s just another form of entertainment in that world and so there isn’t really any shame in being a sex worker. Also while they do “review” the…

Every few years for as long as I can remember (and I’m in my 30s) widespread adoption of VR has been “just around the corner”.  It fades out then comes into focus again.  I’m not exactly holding my breath this time around either.

Mostly because not all states have common law marriage, so if something goes bad, you can get very screwed over.  Legally you’re “just” the girlfriend/boyfriend.  You might not get a say in medical decisions if they are unable to make them themselves.  You may not get a say in funeral decisions, especially if they…

Streaming and the culture around streamers has definitely been one of the biggest “well...guess I’m old and no longer ‘with it’ “ things.

There’s also though the issue that a LOT of people also play on console, especially in Japan, and they don’t want to make it so that PC players have such an advantage.  People have had hugely heated arguments over this, and saying console players aren’t at the same tier as PC players, but the point still stands that…

If a game is available both on Switch and PS, I’ll get the Switch version for that very reason. Some part of my brain is like “you could totally play this on a plane!” despite the fact that I’ve barely even gone anywhere the past couple years. What I really want, and I don’t know if it’s even technologically possible,…

I hate that people can change how I look too...which among discussions with my friends (who all use mods to some degree) and other people online, I know my opinion on it is very much in the minority. For me, my character is basically an extension of me, so I don’t like knowing other people can change that. My friend’s…

Having insurance just means a slightly LESS bill.  I spent a single night in the ER few years ago and AFTER insurance ended up still owing 3k.  Before going I’d spent several hours just laying on the floor of the bathroom trying to decide if it was really bad enough to go to the hospital because I know it would be…

I have optimism for 16, because Yoshi P, the man responsible for turning 1.0 Final Fantasy 14 into the behemoth it is today, is the producer.

When that happens I’ll probably drop Disney as well and maybe pick it up when they have something I wanna watch. I don’t really watch enough Disney to justify much more then it is now.

This is what pushed me over the edge.  It was pushing it at the previous price.  But when I got that email about the price going up again I took a good hard look at Netflix and thought....do I really watch this enough to justify this price?  The answer was no.  I’m sure I was far from alone.

I like Pluto, but I wouldn’t want it to be my ONLY option.  It’s something I throw on if I just want something to watch and don’t want to really make much of a choice.  But like dear god does it have SO MANY ADS.  I get it, because it’s free, so I’m not complaining about the ads, but it’s not what I would want as my…

It is....but it’s very different feeling. It’s hard to describe but you know it when you play it. Something just feels a bit off, a bit odd, but it’s still a great game. It’s really more of a direct sequel to Sonic 1, as it was worked on by the Japanese team, where as Sonic 2 was primarily made in America by Sega…

I love my Switch, and love that it’s portable....but it’s not portable like the 3ds was.  That foldable design made it so easy to just throw into a bag and not worry about it.  The regular Switch is really too big to just take with me casually.  I’m not buying a second switch to have a Lite.  So as it is, my Switch…

I’m kicking myself for giving away a bunch of games a few years ago when they were worth so little it wasn’t even worth trying to sell them.
