they I play games and I sometimes watch movies and occasionally I will say things about those

Yesterday playing Big Walk I was enjoying it as a neat co-op game, today, after exploring more and the map opening up, I am loving it. There is nothing so far that is extremely challenging, but the way you work with the tools and limitations, it really becomes something special

it's weird seeing The Boys make modern, recent references. it worked fine when it was real life but super heroes are celebrities, but now in season 5 with everything that is going on, it's hard to believe that the same real world celebrities and games exist in the same context

okay the new season of Crowd Control is a lot better. a lot more play with the crowd, a more fun energy, not trying too hard to be a game show

absolutely stunned that I got an A on my final paper in my composition class that was 1) a page shorter than required 2) pretty much a first draft 3) a lot of repetitive rambling hey I'll take it. that's this semester done. 3 weeks off baybeee

I hope a byproduct of ram and gpus becoming unobtainable is that big studios make more small games, like that brief period of time when Ubisoft was cool and released games like Grow Home and Child of Light

I don't agree with calling Wii/PS3/360 retro, not because I don't recognize the passage of time (believe me I am aware), but because it's like calling Linkin Park's Meteora classic rock. Old? Sure. But I think we need a separate delineation

I really hope the Elden Ring movie is also obtuse with its story and you can only really understand what happens if you read the text blurb on the popcorn bucket

why did I not stick with learning a game engine before. it is an immensely satisfying feeling to struggle with an exercise and finally break through and figure it out myself without help

danny devito saying I Get It

been doing a rewatch of The Boys before moving on to the final season. it really drowns in its so relevant topical references and need to be as gross and violent as possible, but is otherwise not as bad a watch as I was expecting. except for season 4 which remains miserable

Hey Odysseus, looks like you have a lot of trouble stringing your bow, and none of the other guys have even been able to get it on there. Have you considered just using a longer string? It would make it a lot easier.

taking a biology class was more interesting than I expected, but sure doesn't stop the existential crises dude we're all just molecules reacting to other molecules that over billions of years made that process infinitely more complex than necessary. everything is energy conversion.

I haven't played it myself so maybe it's different in person, but anytime I see clips of the Shadow of the Colossus remake I get a bit disappointed. It just looks wrong. Too clean. Too nice looking.
