Hornet's movement kit is so fun for platforming, I only wish there was more! I've seen people complain about [the northwest area]'s platforming difficulty, but that was my favorite part of the game.

I was going to do an alt ending to this comic where I'm still regular age, since it literally just came out. an advanced punchline where it's only funny if you've memorized my body of work

but I've been busy moving all week so it'll have to wait another 18 years when they re-re-release it again

Relatable Retrospect
Panel 1: A blonde man in a blue hoodie is presenting a Wii copy of Super Mario Galaxy, and says "Does anybody else remember THIS old gem?" In the foreground and background, people are going crazy with social media validation.
Panel 2: A parade has formed in celebration of our relatable social media poster, being lifted up in the air by his peers. In an over-the-shoulder shot of my self-insert, I gesture frustratedly toward the parade and say "What? That game JUST came out".
Panel 3: Reverse shot of me, suddenly resembling a senior citizen with a walker.
Panel 4: I take on a shocked expression, resting my hands on the sides of my head. I mutter, “oh god”.

I got 100% last night (as is my crippling impulse) after sanding off some edges with mods (no runbacks, bench fast travel) and after comparing my playtime to the howlongtobeat completionist average, my life feels so much longer for it

Played both mainline NieR games last year and was surprised at how much more I liked Replicant than Automata; I was expecting the opposite

No need to farm silk when I respawn in the boss room, where my silk corpse is! And I thought I was being thorough but I guess I missed the Magma Bell, seems like it would've been useful 🤷‍♂️

As soon as I died more than once to a boss, I installed the mod that eliminates run backs, and every fight has been significantly more satisfying IMO
