  • Darkwood and Disco Elysium, as games recommended by friends. Darkwood scares the crap out of me, maybe because I’m more alert to sounds in general. Disco Elysium is very interesting, but a tad slow, and not as engaging as other games.

    Most of ny playtime now is Dark Souls 3. I only played 1 and 2 before, and this is about what I expected, more, slightly better and different Dark Souls. I’ll probably replay it more than DS 2, but that depends, because I might prefer 2’s less linear progression.

    Also, still grinding supports I want to see (which is a lot) in Fire Emblem Revelations on bus rides.



  • Overall great, but the movement, mainly during all the backtracking, just wasn’t fun enough to carry it. You have a dash and that’s it, the charge dash is too situational.

    It might not be Metroid with Shinesparks and such, but maybe up the default walk speed at least? The rest of the game wasn’t outstanding enough to make up for it either, besides the map being very open, even for a metroidvania. I like how there are 3-4 ways to enter the area with the Dream Nail.



  • I still play my 3DS on bus trips all the time, and trying to find people IRL who recognise it. There aren’t many here.

    By far my favourite console ever, if DS and GBA libraries (and ease of modding) are included. I didn’t even get through the most recommended games, let alone the obscure ones (like an Atelier-like game made by the Etrian Odyssey devs, Nora and the Time Studio I think, it was weird but interesting if somebody wants to try)

    Don’t actually care for the 3D effect by now, but I’m happy it’s there, if only for showing off to people. Fire Emblem feels made for dual screens, and EO was literally so - I’m hoping they’ll manage without them. Besides that, mostly just good game library.

    Anger can be acceptable if you consider that statement isn’t just about you. If someone rejects me because I’m not their type, that’s ok, but if you go around saying other singles are bad too, rather than admitting your standards are just high (which is fine), that’s rude, especially if you’re not one of the “good ones”. My sister uses that phrase and it does mildly anger me, because from living with her I know she’s immature (among other problems) and, to a lot of men, and especially the “good ones”, I’d assume she is seen as a bad partner herself.

    That being said, I do agree that the comic here is kind of forced, I only heard this being said while gossiping, and never as a form of rejection of a specific person.




  • Had it for a few years now, still playing it, on the bus and such. Including DS games, and maybe even some of GBA library, I’m not even halfway through my backlog for it. The favourites would be all the main Etrian Odyssey games but there’s so much other good ones. Radiant Historia is budget but has some cool ideas, Fire Emblem (besides Awakening, I actually disliked it more than Birthright, didn’t play Revelation yet), all of the Shin Megami Tensei games… and I’d add Kid Icarus or Mario 3D Land so it’s not just JRPGs.




  • I actually watch those small accounts (they tend to be short and related to games I know), it feels a bit more comfy when the guy actually reads and replies to my comment.

    I think I also came upon aftermath of some personal quarrel between the account and a commenter, they were talking about how sorry they were and the guy accepted the apology. It was wholesome, and probably as memorable as other videos I waste time on watch.
