I’ve heard a shower orange is even better than a shower beer, and a shower beer is at least 1/10 of that, so maybe it’d get you a third of the way there.

You gotta swoosh in all stealthy, like Godzilla swimming up on someone.

The two things I know for sure:

1.) AI is the ultimate knowledge box that uplifts our society by containing and collating all of human progress.

2.) When AI is asked to do anything vaguely complicated, it’ll just say, β€œGot it, Chief” and make up an answer like a co-worker who flaked on a project.

The ps5 pro edition or pc version are both very good. With the upcoming pssr2 upgrade you probably can’t go wrong. It’s more that it’s not *possible* to run on a switch or deck (but it can).

of course. and how could I forget "big revolver with a single big bullet"

pacific rim styled big space ship fights and (mostly) practical effect aliens. Yea, they could do it.

most big rpgs are filled with areas, but even the ones with personality (elden ring) aren't really *places*. But this? All places. Too many places. It's bullshit and there's zero chance it can run on the switch (I lie to myself. It will. Somehow.)

yup, it drags a bit. But it also takes the time to make the pilgrimage feel like a journey, and doesn't skimp on any of the supporting cast or locations.

It makes the third game feel impossible in scale, except most of it is built here. Like, you are looking right at it in disbelief

I found it "too long" but ultimately enjoyed it. It's *decadent*.

I wonder if it’d feel better if re4 remake hadn’t happened yet.

I’m primarily on @playstation.com platform since ps4/2014. I would mind this less if they weren’t still hostile to cross-progression like with path of exile 2. The more they squeeze, the more I consider jumping ship….

Quick q: if this had an esrb rating, what would it roughly be? I’m trying to determine how kid friendly or teen friendly it is. Or if it’s more β€œdefinitely M”

the very best game ever made continues to get better.

play for free jinteki.net or print and play your own cards at the null signal website!

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Oh and the entire voice cast are bangers. Especially kain and raziel, but most of the rest, too.

Well, soul reaver and on. Bo1 is a little jankier. ;)

Legacy of kain is one of the better time travel stories (any medium). Fun world rules and use of vampires to follow long term consequences. Good characters ala Amy hennig. But the games themselves play rough. I used a walkthrough. And you’d want to start at the beginning.

This tells me that Apple thinks it's getting a good deal because it expects prices to go up even more.

Rebirth is this x10. Which can be a negative as much as a positive. Some people love it, and for some it’s just Too Much. It’s very interesting, either way.
