There was a period where I would just watch Halo trailers over and over again. They had this stranglehold on pathos that just made them all so gripping. This is certainly the peak, though.

I don’t think I’ve played since June, but I had fun when I was into it. Fall is just so busy, too, I don’t know if I’ll stop in at my island or not. Really it would depend on my friends going back and talking about it nonstop. That’s the main reason I got the game in the first place.

Not an Xbox guy, but every Bethesda game I’ve played, I’ve done it on PC anyway. Pretty nice piece of news to drop the week your console goes up for pre-order, though, huh?

It’s not something I’ve thought about in a while, but SC2 definitely had some jams.

Ok but we can do better than Tetra Master, can’t we? Can’t we??

I’m finally gonna finish my hard-mode run of FFVIIR this weekend. Picked it up 2 days ago after about 3 months and spent 10 minutes trying to remember how to block. But I was halfway through Chapter 17 and now I’m on Chapter 18. I’m doing this now because I feel like if I don’t, I’m not going to do it ever. The next…

Demon’s Souls is the real wrinkle here. I’m not invested in Miles, though I would like to play it. I’ll get a PS5 to play DeS, though. But not at launch. It hadn’t really even crossed my mind that pre-orders would happen shortly after a date was announced, and I’m just not emotionally prepared (for a number of…

This gives me something to think about. I’ve been wondering if I was going to have to get the $499 version if I want to play Bloodborne, but this is sort of an answer to that. I don’t have too many PS4 discs, and Bloodborne is the one I’ve replayed most often and most recently.

This is what I was thinking. Mistakes happen, but man, what a mess.

Seagull’s comment is the most revealing to me. So many streamers I watch that never ran ads before have started running them in the past several months, and one of them (Datto) talked about how the terms of his renewed contract mandated that he both stream more and take more ad breaks. So if streamers are already in a…

Ahh, this is sad. It was a good run, though. These threads have coincided with me commenting more. Part of the draw has been the feeling of getting to talk to Mike and Riley, but I’ll check out the music thread from now on.

I finished Ghost of Tsushima this week. I think the game ends well, but the third act overall didn’t do a lot for me. It didn’t feel like it had anything new to say from a gameplay perspective, and I was bored of the non-companion sidequests. I’m 3 trophies away from the platinum, so I will probably try to grab those…

Original GameBoy Advance for me. It was backward compatible and it had some of my favorite games, the Mega Man Zero series. I never got a DS. I was kind of out of the mode of playing handheld stuff by that point (I got the GBA player for my GameCube so I was even playing a lot of GBA stuff at my TV).

I should be finishing my play of Ghost of Tsushima this weekend, but when I’m not doing that I’ll probably be playing Overwatch. Feels good to be back on that train of feeling like I’m improving. My friend and I have been using the replay feature to review our games and look for easy mistakes to fix. It’s like a mini…

Yeah, I mean I’d be content with them being collectibles ala dead ghosts/calcified fragments/etc. Tucked away in some corner of the map. But with Aspects being class specific, I don’t know if that would work.

Thing is, this time tracking stuff was introduced 3 or 4 years ago as a way to see which of our clients were taking disproportionate amounts of time to complete work for, so the shift to using it to determine whether our team is at “full utilization” is pretty unwelcome.

My hope is that Aspects and Fragments work like the current mod system where you find them once and then you just have them. Really hoping they aren’t a consumable thing that you would need to reacquire every time you want to equip your build, and I can’t imagine they would regress to a system like that after armor…

Work is really getting to me. My department keeps getting questions about our time tracking like “We logged 33 hours last week on this, what goes into that, why is it taking so much time?”

If you don’t think I’m doing enough work, just say that, and then give me more work. It’ll get done. I’m already unhappy and burnt…
