    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Yeah, I found a way past this boss; I am just not going to turn on my PS5 for a while. I have several Real Life frustrating things going on, and I am not going to pay full price for an alluring but ultimately frustrating and unsatisfying digital companion piece for them. In this case, art...

    Texas this summer

    Thing about Texas is, its about the same size as France: Hey Guys, I am going to France, what are some good restaurants? Will second most of the recommendations here except Rudy's which admittedly I haven't been to a long time. Everyone raves about Buckee's as the gas station truck stop to...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    GD it, I can just feel the money leaving my wallet the next time I turn on my PS5. I STILL HAVE TO FINISH LAST EPOCH, ASSHOLES. Plus I will get frustrated and have to replay areas about a dozen times because I die in these games, I always do: It's just part of how I play, and fuck these people...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    This is such a beautiful game. I may go ahead and get it knowing its going to frustrate the hell out of me. I just never got really good at Hades and if I couldn't make that game work, you know the genre is not my cup of tea; I am too locked into ignoring/taking damage to succeed in a...

    New World

    Launch-era Guild Wars 2 was also exactly what I going to post as well as example of how to do this "right", i.e. to my taste. Large scale public events joinable at any time by individuals or groups, and rewards commensurate with contribution. Public events themselves were so well done in GW2...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Lost me with "Roguelite" and restarting from the beginning every time you die. Will wait for the PS+. Does look great, though, and was on the fence about getting it but was super expensive and roguelikes/lites aren't my jam.

    Invincible

    It's such great flavor and makes this world and take so good. So much world-building has to be done in this first season, its kind of Luke-on-Tatooine *so far*. Mark really comes into his own as the story develops, IIRC, though. It seemed like Kirkman got bored and ran out of places to go...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    The series overall is decidedly "meh" and living on capital accrued during the movies' run. These Showrunners they hired for the new series are ass and Marvel's topical SJW approach isn't going to stand the test of time.

    Invincible

    The character started out annoying and ended up aggressively stupid. I don't remember feeling that way reading the comics but it has been a decade plus, so there's that. Mark's pity party also seemed super self-indulgent, which was probably more inline with the comics but on-screen it was...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    With all the work I have been doing and the bullshit I have been reading about this game, I hit critical mass and haven't played a minute in a week. I started play Last Epoch; I need to at least finish out the story but grinding out timed missions on my Devastator isn't my idea of fun, or any...

    Army of the Dead (2021)

    I think it looks like a mash-up of ohkcrlho's post and Attog's post.

    Powerpuff

    It has to be on-screen representation. Trying to count off-screen non-characters as representation is white supremacy.

    Powerpuff

    What, they only blackwashed 50% of the cast? Racists! Where is the Asian/Latino Representation? This cast needs some diversity!

    Voyagers (2021)

    well, it wouldn't be a movie if something exciting didn't happen, I guess but I think this would be a better book; probably has been a better book.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    He's not even really a villain here. He was certainly a villain in Winter Soldier but in this he is a crazily compelling character. I definitely wanted to see him get away. the Dora fight scene was great but surely someone who they made Cap would know who the Wakandans are, I mean in more than...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    It goes back way further than the Division. What was that Super Hero MMO where they had a ton of betas, all powers were fine, then they had launch weekend and someone like Koster came in and advised them to NERF EVERYTHING because everyone was leveling too fast and having too much fun. So they...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I remember at one point I did a build with a CPU cooler that had like a 92mm fan as the CPU cooler. The pitch on that thing lead me make my next machine more quiet and not have any fans less than 120mm fans, and probably kept me from jumping on the renewed AMD bandwagon sooner because they had...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    The cover isn't meant for you; this isn't a cover shooter. Its a trap. The Cover is for the bad guys. Don't use it. The healing mechanics are there to reward aggression and aggressive motion. Use the radar to position yourself if you are moving and want to know where to boss is but if you...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I just got to the Quarry and hit WT7. After meeting , I was hoping for the story to take a different turn. Normally spoilers don't bother me but knowing the game has this in store.../sigh. I prepared an argument as to why this Outriders was better than Anthem, in part based upon the lack of...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    This is god damn disappointing. The way things were playing out, I just assumed they were going to do something different and refreshing. It retroactively changes the nature of the story you are witnessing building into something else, from what I thought it was going to be to something...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I have tried to get on a couple of times today; no joy either time, currently just spinning for me on the PS5. May be restoring from Power Save causing the issue, will try killing the game and starting fresh. Total buzzkill, though, from my most anticipated game in a long time. Hopefully once...
