Just some pathetic cis white boy from Canada’s worst province who never amounted to much of anything. Work in a grocery store that is mostly okay, but don’t make enough to live off so I’m resigned to just trying to not cry too much every day. I have a partner I dearly love.

  • UFO 50. I have cherried the first game, barbuta.(basically beat it with a special condition that is revealed after beating it the first time).

    I’ve tried about 9 games so far. Taking each game fairly slowly, there’s a good mix of light games and thinking games already so I’m going to focus on beating them before I try the other 40 games. I have seen the demo reel of other games in the collection and am very excited to try them all out.

    Oh and I’m replaying monster hunter rise currently. Learning charge blade. Just hit high rank and its going good, I have a backup dual blade if I hit a wall of a monster. But I only used it once already to farm some parts since I struggle with hitting specific location with charge blade currently. I have played entirely through sunbreak already and reached like anomaly rank 200 something. Not sure how far I’ll get on this playthrough but I certainly want to farm some anomaly hunts.





  • These people have literally zero media literacy. If the subtext isn’t directly in the text (and even then they still have even odds to miss it) then they will whiff on it get mad over some arbitrary woman or black person numbers within the game rather than what characters within the game actually do.

    I’m pretty sure Doom 2016 won’t be on the list because fun dumb shooty game, when it’s got an obviously anti-capitalist message right there, with evil billionaire turns himself into a robot while getting the planet hooked on hell energy so earth doesn’t go without it’s treats.


  • Working out inevitably leads to pulling something, a month or two of recovery where all gains disappear and I feel worse. I’m going super slow this time, but I regularly do alot of exercise at work so I’m just as likely to pull out my back or shoulders there, and I’m really just starting to fall apart it feels like. Bad knees, ankles hurt, shoulders ache, back is sore, hands ache if I grip too much. I feel like I need months off just to not hurt.




  • I played original dota just within warcraft 3 TFT, so it was without skill based matchmaking. And it was mostly about the same I’d say. Sometimes you get people absurdly good, and sometimes you get people horrendously bad. I never played Dota 2 ranked matchmaking. Always just unranked, usually all random. It was intensely try hard and usually made me more upset than full of joy. So I quit when they broke all random years and years ago (2017 maybe?), also my wrists can’t handle that much mouse clicking anymore so it was for the best, physically and mentally.


  • Sunbreak is extremely good, the ability to have two switch skill loadouts and switch between then in a second is game changing for some weapons. I don’t play long sword so I can’t comment on what it does for that weapon though.

    The new monsters are super fun fight and it requires you to eventually get very good at knowing your op counter bullshit to win the final monsters they added a year after release. Maybe some people don’t like that but I had a blast with dual blades.

    Replaying on ps5 now trying to learn charge blade.


  • I think Ubisoft makes amazing games that are really excellent value once they’re on sale for like twenty or thirty bucks. And by amazing games I mean turn your brain off slop that does one thing well, a couple things okay, and tries maybe 3 more things poorly. I usually play one from a few years back every couple years to scratch the itch of Ubisoft explore-a-thon, and then that leaves me burned out on their style for at least a year or 4.



  • I finished the resident evil 4 remake. Which is a pretty solid remake, does a good job with the plot, making things make a little more sense. Has a combat system that is more or less the same as the original but I’d say probably quite a bit harder since they do expect you to parry everything (which I never did except in krauser fights). And cuts some bits for reasons, I’d guess pacing maybe? But it still feels like the final chapter is too long despite being noticeably shorter.

    My main grief with it is the game feels like it was ashamed the old game was campy and didn’t take itself seriously and tries to be more serious (it’s still goofy but less) and overall part of the originals charm is how it doesn’t take itself seriously. For me anyways. Also the weapon exclusive upgrades feel bad now, and show up very late. And knife durability is like a kick in the teeth to original game players who just want to shoot once and knife 4 times. Oh and the aiming system feels horrendous, I missed so many close shots because the game has a bullshit random spread if you move your target reticle too fast.


  • I refuse to believe any proposed policies from a democrat. They can offer anything they want and know they won’t pass it because a parliamentarian will find the blue suit rule in effect on the day it’s proposed (oops the tax code can’t be amended if there is someone wearing a blue suit in Congress on that day, sorry hands are tied everyone, we do want progress though).

    All they’re going to do is tax cuts and wonder why they can’t fund anything. Also bump that military spending up another 500 billion or so gotta make sure we’re extra lethal and threatening to everyone.
