Alright gamers, hitting y'all with a strange request here but bear with me I have a close online friend who I've known for well over a decade now. She suffers from a congenital autoimmune disorder that knocks her out from socializing or even working for long stretches of time

I've hit a hard wall for patience around like, level 65 missions. The scaling is getting absurd for both enemy density and health. Having no ways to target farm weapon types or gadget parts is real rough, and the end game makes anything below 5* weapons worthless, while also making fresh 5* drops
Just rolled credits and yeah, my opinion hasn't changed much. This was probably the weakest entry I've played (which I've only not played 1) for both gameplay and story. I'm genuinely surprised it's reviewing as well as it is

Okay, maybe 2 hours into Splatoon Raiders and honestly I'm not that impressed with it 💀 Crazy to think considering Octo Expansion, Alterna, and even Side Order to an extent are absolute banger singleplayers with OE being one of the best Nintendo campaigns I've played in recent memory
The Xenoblade 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is out for parts of the world and new info is coming in! Here’s EVERYTHING we know so far: Malos is hot.

Was literally on a call with @chibicarrera.bsky.social earlier this evening and mentioned being upset that I didn't get a chance to play the Killer Queen cab at SGDQ, now suddenly this comes up???? Who wants to play? Games amazing, you get to be a weird little insect creature 🐝

Adjusted the house's physical router as much as I could, updated my OBS and graphics drivers, and I've been testing for 6 hours but every test stream suddenly gets a hiccup that takes it offline and I just can't figure out why

Frustrated that reddit opinions on my directing for Elden Ring are genuinely upsetting me But considering I've seen nearly no positivity, I may have been excessive to a point of detracting and just didn't realize it since I was enjoying the challenge of trying to manage the 4 feeds
There is one positive to a GDQ event ending, and it's returning home to 🌟her🌟

It was an amazing run, if this is any indicator
