platfighters / SRPGs / bad NBA takes / degenerate weeb stuff / art school trauma dumping
I've exercised a lot of self control, but I finally waited long enough for the FFT remaster to go on steam sale.

Early impression: like Tactics Ogre, this game doesn't want you to go fast. Feels like you're meant to get walled if you try to progress without grinding some.

Getting around to FF7:Rebirth. Got through the tutorial but now I'm in open world getting blasted by early quest bosses like I'm playing BOTW again.

It sucks I'm forced to play in 30-45m chunks due to IRL, this game kinda sucks when consumed that way.

Clippers assembled a Trick Room team but didn't have an actual Trick Room setter.

I've been distancing myself from apple's ecosystem, but every now and then I run into something with not-apple that makes me miss apple.

This time: I just got a new PC and as I'm doing the setup/migration, I can't help but miss Time Machine.

A byproduct of things like reels and tiktok is I can get sick of a song without ever listening to the entire thing once.

The 15s clip of APT or Golden were catchy the first 1000 times I heard it, but I'm quite done with them now.

I didn't love HK, but I got Silksong purely from hype. Despite not being a fan of metroidvanias or "gitgud" games, it has strung me (ha) along so far.

Somehow, I find SK more linear than HK, and telegraphs where you need to go pretty clearly (still in act 1).

I got a dog and sometimes when I walk her and run into another dog owner, I think to myself if we're in Pokemon, we'd be making our dogs fight on sight until one of them needs to go to the vet.

last night, fan expo was going on and there was a my chemical romance show. felt like highschool again cuz all the goths and all the nerds were just like, hanging out in the union station food court.

I feel it for players getting cut in general.

Imagine being good enough at your job to get the chance to find out you're actually *not quite good enough* to hang with the undisputed best. And then getting fired.

them's the breaks.

Everyone is rightfully concerned about AI taking their jobs. But there's always that one coworker you wish AI would've taken their job yesterday.

Been playing PKMN Radical Red.

This is the first difficulty hack I've played and it is difficult all right. I have tripled my respect for people that hardcore nuzlocke these type of games for a living. I've been playing with no restrictions, and still getting my ass beat lmao.

it's fair to criticize Masai's moves since 2019 but no amount of basketball malpractice will ever make me side with Rogers. Ever.
Masai Ujiri is out as president of the Raptors, per Shams.

Uhhh. Alright...? This was always a possibility with one year left on his deal and ownership changes, but damn.

Congrats OKC on the chip. A ring is a ring, regardless of whatever asterisk people try to discredit it with. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a real shitty ending to a great series though. Felt like we got robbed of an all time game 7.

new RoA2 floorhug change is fine, but it certainly feels like when I get bodied now, I get **bodied**.

It's like the game handed out guns to 2 guys in a knife fight, but only the better player knows how to fire it.

(yes i know the solution is get good)

it just dawned on me that it's completely professionally okay to use emojis at work now.

like me sending 😀 to clients, absolutely fine. me sending "lol" to clients, not really okay.

Playing through Pkmn Y for the first time.

There's a lot of NPCs that try to justify how battling with pokemon is acceptable, but that just makes me think more about how messed up it actually is. Streisand effect.

Anyways 2D pokemon hits different.

Going to ramble more about games here:

Lost Eidolons: the maps are very fun but I have some legit legibility gripes.

All the units look kinda same-sy, and the terrain (esp the puddles) is hard to make out if they're beneath the enemy range grid.

The best bribes are ones you can accept without the fear of repercussions, or obligations to the one bribing you.

Anyways, I got this $200CAD cheque from the Ontario provincial government.

as much of a shitshow twitter is, I managed to curate lists of things I really really liked, art related follows, VG related, bball related, day job related....

Not all my follows will migrate over, but I hope I can build more lists that I like here.
