Merry Christmas Strife!

It's better than the first one and possibly their best game.

Hope you're enjoying Bloodstained! Absolute banger game

I haven't posted about my Tales of Vesperia playthrough in a while, but I'm still getting through it. This fight in particular is going great! (story spoilers in picture)

Had a live playthrough of The Hundred Line on in the background while working earlier, which was fun but I'm also trying to avoid spoilers if I decide to pick it up.

Today's listening

Happy birthday Strife!

Congratulations once again Daiya! So excited to hear you voice act in an official role.

This is insane

Reports coming in that Cory Booker will again be taking the Senate Floor for another 25 hours to denounce the price of Switch 2 games.

Got ta make-a-da money to play-a da Bing Bing wahoo racing game.

I played the demo for Splitterhead (PS5) yesterday and ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. (I was expecting the worst based on the mixed reviews it got from critics). Might have to check out the full thing at some point.

This album is pretty cool! They sound like if Underworld or Faithless started a noise band but still wanted to hold onto their dance roots. Although in the case of this band, it's the other way around; the noise came first (their first album), then the dance influence came later.

Been seeing mixed opinions on 'MH: Wilds' so I might play through the 'Rise: Sunbreak' expansion first before picking up a copy. Still gotta finish 'Tales of Vesperia' though.

Made a friend whilst jogging today. They were so keen for affection, everytime I tried to get a close-up photo at ground level, they'd just walk right into my phone.

I'm currently experiencing a glitch in Infinity Nikki where Momo is completely invisible but you can still hear him, so whenever the camera pivots to him during a cutscene you just see a patch of dirt on the ground say something like, "Zoinks! BBQ time!"

Congratulations! Hope they went well.

Thom Yorke if he was in a good side project: The Smile(ing Friends)

It was good.

Just bought a coffee-flavoured Snickers bar. This has the potential to be the greatest candy bar of all time. Will provide an update once its been consumed.

I love these little optional moments of dialogue in Tales of Vesperia. They add so much charm and personality to the story and character interactions.
