Still trying to decide whether to get the new Pokemon game tomorrow. It would've been nice to see some reviews ahead of the release date.

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 1d

While saying that, almost everything else is great. Amazing story and voice acting so far. The game also look amazing and the music is some of the best I've heard in a game in some time.

I do wish I had a mini map though.😭

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 1d

I started to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I can confirm that I am bad at this game. 😅

I'll admit the real-time aspects of the combat are not my cup of tea as I like my turn based games to be more purely turn based and my action games to be less timing focused than this.

"Image quality and performance settings" finally get added to the Switch 2 version of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter...... after I finished the game.

Just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. Best Trails game I've ever played. I loved the characters and pacing of the story. Really did feel like an adventure.

This really isn't a complaint, but rather an observation coming from Trails through Daybreak which honestly felt a bit long-winded at times. I kind of like the idea of a faster paced JRPG.

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 12d

Is it me or does Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter feel a bit shorter than most Trails games. I kept hearing that they added more content, but HowLongToBeat shows that people are finishing it faster than the original.

Less grinding and less reading a factor? Not sure as I haven't played the original.

I can't believe I'm only hearing about this now. Gander is a Canadian social media platform that's being built on the AT Protocol (like Bluesky).

Built by Canadians, hosted on servers in Canada and with a focus on Canadian content and laws. Their pitch certainly has my attention.

That's what I thought at first too, but the Hamilton concert is on March 6th. According to Scotiabank arena's calendar, that date is not booked.

Regardless it is nice to see them have multiple stops in Canada. I rather travel to Hamilton than the US right now.

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 16d

This was a great interview to listen to. Maybe more than anyone else, Tori does such a good job of simplifying the benefits of decentralized social media.

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 16d

It's nice to see that Twice has some Canadian stops on their upcoming tour. Though somehow we're back at Hamilton replacing Toronto shows... Ugh...

In my opinion, for most places with these type of laws, Bluesky has struck a decent balance where you can use the site unverified, just without NSFW content. Not great for the people who want that content, but it's the best of a bad situation.

Var @varasho.bsky.social · 17d

Bluesky is in a tough position with all these age verification laws. Ignoring laws would be negligent and the company is likely too small to fight governments in court alone.

It shows up as a reply to the original post on Bluesky. It's pretty much a different way to display Bluesky replies and sort of acts like an alternate comment section for YouTube videos.

I noticed that posts that I have already liked sometimes show up in the For You feed. Filtering out those posts might be a good idea since the user would've already seen them.

I'm really curious what DCC's plans are for this band. They've been putting out covers for months. Talent seems to be there and the sound is definitely up my alley. I hope they do debut.

True. SteamOS is already pretty much what I want out of a gaming OS. I would even use it on desktops if it was officially supported.
