I do QA on games and also create things sometimes.
To this day it's so funny/sad that Devilman is what Go Nagai considered his best work while Mazinger was what he wrote so he didn't feel too depressed about Devilman's subject matter...and yet Mazinger became the more popular/widespread of the two.

Much like its inspiration (Stephen King), Stranger Things devolved from a spooky monster in a small town terrorizing a handful of kids-to-young adults to a galactic battle of good vs. evil, including a giant monster the protagonists kill despite it being way stronger than the first monster.

Scrubs has one of the most heartfelt and beautiful endings in its finale that is touching, bittersweet but utterly wonderful endings about life going on even when the cameras stop rolling.

Then there's another fucking season after this. (And a reboot incoming)

No, in fact there's many techniques for bigger types to get through tight squeezes, such as exhaling all the air in your body to make yourself smaller so you can crawl through tighter fits.

I am so fuckin' ready for this. Beat the Backlog is easily my favorite Pat content.

It's also worth noting it's not just one mob but it seems to have been added to the spawn pool of Coerthas West. If you believe the BST theory it means that there may be new spawns added all across the world that enable BST taming/combat/battle/etc.

For some reason, a Level 1 <Blank> deer spawns in Coerthas Western Highlands. This patch had absolutely nothing going on in nor near Ishgard so it just randomly appeared. The prevailing theory is that it's an unfinished Beastmaster Mob that will spawn in that section of the overworld.

Love how it's always "We can make games faster and get them out in under a year!" but it's never "We can make the game better".

Sure it's objectively worse than what we're putting out but DUDE it's fast! We're still charging $80 for it though. Ahem.

That's crazy considering like...everything else about the patch. Especially the .

I think all 8.0 needs is a really strong hook. One of the things that hurt DT (and one of the things Yoshi P called out) is that there was zero build-up. Supposedly 7.5 will be "a whirlwind" patch (Whatever that means) that sets the stage for 8.0

Pat's feelings on it have changed. Basically the further distant he's been from playing it, the more he's come to be negative on it.

I think the last patch he got up to was like 7.2? He said he'd play when he has more time but it seems that the longer away he's been, the less excited he's been.

I had to explain to my mom when she was playing a bunch of free mobile games:

"Cap, why do they keep showing me all these ads?"

"Because they want you to pay for no-ads mom."

"But don't they know I'll never buy any of them!?"

"No, Mom, they want you to get so annoyed you cave and do it."

Hell yeah, this game is sick.

Big question is if we get hyper-focused gamer Pat or philosophy debate Pat.

Cold glass of water when you wake up/shortly after you wake up is an IRL health potion.

Epic did offer a free games every week or so but again that's how far you have to go to compete with steam...and even then, why would I -ever- get rid of steam? Most of my games are on here and they don't transfer so throwing away steam is the equivalent to burning a few thousand dollars.
