tbh the zelda series peaked at zelda 1

aaand i blew it :/

just under 3 hours (in-game time) is a reasonable amount of time to get a third of the games journal entries filled, right? right???

Im ready to get the first steel soul achievement and enter act 3. i just have to finish 90 journal entries first (thats not hyperbole, i counted them)

tbh i dont really like character customization in video games

if youre gonna spend hours toiling over your designs instead of playing the game, play a life sim

and im not super interested in the story a game has to tell if its written around the main character being a blank slate

I thought I was so smart benchwarping back to bellhart after getting the bilewater map to unlock shakras wish, alongside completing every journal entry along the way, so i would only have to go through bilewater once.

i forgot the fucking flea fuck my life

people overrate first sinner so much (like I saw someone say she should be the 3rd to last boss in silksongs pantheon, before gms and lost lace)

in 3 playthroughs ive first tried her every time shes not difficult at all

im watching all these people point out why some of the new baby models dont look great, or have technical mistakes

and its cute that they think that it might lead to changes, but mojangs definitely already calendared in every snapshot and has a strict deadline for the final release

minecraft snapshots are starting to feel less like public betas and more like a poor attempt at hype cycles

if youre gonna use beta content for advertisements without disclosing that theyre subject to change, is it really a beta?

like how often do snapshot features ever get reworked anymore?

on the other hand, phantom is basically impossible to die to but its extremely difficult to not get hit by them

this took me about half an hour to do

savage beastfly is an easy boss to die to, but very hard to get hit by, if that makes sense

australia really is just the USA but a couple months behind...

last month, aussies were bragging about our police while turning a blind eye to our systemic police brutality against indigenous people.

now those same people are appalled about police brutality against white people. sound familiar?

ORIGIAMI KING ON NINTENDO MUSICCCCCCCC AND THEY SEPERATED THE BATTLE MUSIC INSTEAD OF COMBINING THEM INTO 1 TRACK EVERYONE LISTEN NOWWWWWWWWWWW

every day I have to grapple with the fact that winged nosk (my least favourite enemy in hollow knight) is one of the most important hollow knight characters to the story of silksong

remind me to do this next time i play hgss

minecraft and pokemon are a kind of series where theyre only a global phenomenon because they were early

when you actually analyse the gameplay and read what the developers have to say, you realise the entire franchise was a fluke and theyve just been getting lucky for decades

the year is 2030. we are waiting for deltarune and silksong news. we get FF7 news instead.

my shitbox tv is locked to 1080p 30 fps so its not like it matters for me tho

oh cool hollow knight NS2 comes out on my birthday

I've come to realise that a lot of my taste in video games come down to whether or not the game looks visually appealing. id probably be the most obnoxious vn fan if they all didnt look terrible

this is also why i refuse to engage with twilight princess

this partner directs gonna just barely drop my birthday but I dont know what would qualify as a birthday surprise for me in particular..... especially something I care about that wouldnt be guaranteed a spot in the regular direct

Im not very superstitious but I guess I'll have to see

this is the most difficult boss in silksong

is online top ride lost media

K.K. mania. its technically only 98 weeks unless youre unlucky enough your birthday to fall on a saturday. thats still nearly 2 years.

theoretically you can create new players and set their birthday to be very soon, but its so complicated im not bothered to figure the optimal strat

birthday celebration: with natural gameplay itll take 1.5 - 2.5 years to complete. if youre smart like with villagers like me you'll be ever so slightly ahead of schedule

golden milestone: the shovels the killer. 30 gullivers takes 50-60 weeks, nothing you can do about it

smile isle: every hour, reset until every villager is outside, talk until dialogue is exhausted, 2/10 will give you a quest. even at max efficiency its 150 hours to complete

miles for miles: just microdose every aspect of gameplay over and over and over, its exhausting to grind

I call these titans because unlike other tasks which you can grind simple mindedly (crafting tools, chopping trees etc) or just occur naturally throughout a year of gameplay (fishing tourney, catching every bug)

these tasks are insanely complicated to do in a sane amount of time
