Bout to beedle-disconnect myself from this plane of existence

If you ever doubt how Ontario Down I am, just know I’m currently in a very long line at the convenience store being held up by someone’s lottery purchases just waiting for the “Winner!! Gagnon!!” of freedom to ring out.

Can’t stop thinking about the John Carpenter’s Toxic Avenger demo, holyyyy just pure stress (the fun kind)

Very very gamey game

Yeah along with like 29 other programs 😔

Not to go on an absolutely triggered rant but the shift from standards driven curation to engagement based algorithms serving stories has also done irreparable damage to people’s abilities to figure out wtf is going on 😩

I try my best to adapt to change and take the world as it is.

People lost faith in the press (for complicated and nuanced reasons) but there has to be a better way to stay informed than meme pages asking “what you think about Iranian air strikes chat 🤯😱💣” in the comments or emotional influencers

Really sad to see the journalism program at Algonquin College get cut.

With no exaggeration I can say taking that program turned my life around.

Getting to go back years later and teach parts of the course was super fulfilling.

Just a huge bummer to know it’s not a thing anymore.

Was annoyed that, no matter what I do, when I turn off my PlayStation it switches to annoying built in channels that I didn’t ask for, instead of just a black screen.

Found a channel that only plays episodes of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure 24/7 and now my life has vastly improved

Played Alan Wake 2.

Combat got a lil samey and the visual effects caused me a headache like twice. But other than that, such a banger near perfect game.

This is what video games are about. I love Alan, Saga, and all the weird shit that happens to them. Peak presentation. Thick suspense. Fantastic.

I still enjoy it to *some* degree. Not fully committing to saying I’m burned out.

But I’m definitely not feeling the same passion that had me playing fan translated romhacks back in the day because I couldn’t wait for localization

Different kind of Slow Burn imo. Like with Zero ESPECIALLY you’re doing a ton of really good work as Lloyd & co, and the reveals feel so earned.

Daybreak/Horizon just feels like.. busywork? And then a massive lore dump.

But also like, very well could be a case of getting burned out after 13 games

Sky Remake is a HUGE bright spot for the series.

And Daybreak suffers from an issue of all the awesome story stuff just gets dropped at the end of the games and then they end.

Extremely slow burns which are tough to adjust to post-CS

Okay so I’m only like 5 hours into Alan Wake 2 but HOLYYYYY this is a video game ass video game. Unbelievably high quality. Worth all the hype.

Played Trails Beyond the Horizon.

I fear I’m slowly getting over the series. Or at least that’s how I felt for the first 75% or so of this game. A lot of it comes together CRAZY in the last bit so I’ll play future games, but overall, Van’s story hasn’t gripped me like the other subseries’ did.

Been trying to get into watching Empire but it’s so hard to be immersed with how COMICALLY evil Lucious Lyon is 😭😭💀💀💀

Helps if you read both good and bad reviews too because having a well roudned point of view is ✨important✨

Please don't just look at number and move on

Just a reminder that the best part of metacritic is being able to click links to the full reviews which are being aggregated so you can take 5 minutes to read some prose while you're trying to make an informed decision on how to spend your money on very very expensive video games

Reached the point in Trails Beyond the Horizon where I’m just kinda over it. I’ve played every game in the series and I do want to know where the story is gonna go from here, but it’s not giving that “ABANDON ALL OTHER HOBBIES AND PLAY THIS” feeling I got from the other titles

I know they have airships, trains, cars, and people that teleport so it doesn't really make sense to be hoofing it everywhere.

There's also a certain charm to getting infinite familiar with a single city as you do your patrols, only going on field trips when necessary.

But yeah, I miss the JOURNEY

Modern Kiseki games been feeling a lot less adventurous. I know there's a lot of story to go through, and the later games having multiple routes with different protags doesn't leave a lot of room for exploration, but I miss hoofing it through Liberl or Crossbell State and DISCOVERING.

I’ve never gotten angry messages about my matches until I started playing Caitlyn/Blitzcrank

Team kinda sucks but this may be what I rock until season 2 😭😭

Random crossplay 2XKO player discovers blocking

I forgot about revenant wings. But I was thinking like, big scale StarCraft 2 type deal

That’d be so sick

Had a dream that Final Fantasy XVII was an RTS and I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities

First night playing Cait/Blitz

Hate that fighting games feel like doing homework to non players.

Because man.. when you’re struggling through a complex sequence. Adjusting timing here. Modifying jump angle there.

And you finally figure out what you’ve been doing wrong.

Holyyyyyy, peak

Still trying out how to build tight offense. Tips and links appreciated #2xko #2xko_cait #2xko_blitz

Wait this team is kinda sick #2xko #2xko_cait #2xko_blitz
