I love how there's the dramatic sector 7 pillar moment and in the remake there's just a bench at the bottom
"you clearly know how urgent this is, but you did just have a boss fight so feel free to chill out for a while on the bench, everything will be fine, spooky spooks will make sure of it"

Birthdays always amuse me because there's a certain group of people on social media where its the one time of year you here from them. Nothing in the other 364 days, but always a message when they get the notification its your birthday.

Nothing makes a 3 minute mini game that you keep failing at better than having to skip 45 seconds of BS before you can retry it.

Nope, still don't understand the timing on the honey bee inn thing.

Hopefully they're mostly in complete condition, but something to try out when my superstation finally arrives

Whoops, just won a few racing games at auction. Thankfully none of my other lowball bids won

It's amazing how many emails I get about the last chance for a deal they'll tell me about again next

Turns out the El Condor Pasa created to replace Haru did pretty well

And if you're curious, its this Rpg limit break/yetee t shirt from a number of years ago. The Demon Chocobo

As you can see, I'm thrilled

Got my time in on the treadmill already though, with the intention of having an otherwise lazy day

Well, so far, 40 doesn't feel any different

Yeah that genre hadn't really figured out the transition to 3d - or if it was even necessary, which explained a lot of the clunkiness at the time. It was an era its probably hard to recommend to those who didn't live through it, but a lot of fun titles

Okay, wall market time. Let's hope I remember how that rhythm game works

I assume its a lot down to where I was in my life at that point (starting to get an income, university, lot of free time) but I really loved the 2002-2008 ps2/3/xbox/360 era of games.

09.03.2026 14:38 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Agreed, flawed in many ways like a lot from that era, but I really enjoyed it. For some reason I got the impulse to check it out again so I've just been watching a playthrough in the evenings.
If I wasn't midway through FF7 remake again, I'd probably be hooking up my xbox again.

I mean the answer to the whodunit of 1 was obvious, but it was never confirmed in the game itself and I needed that.

Still Life 2 is one of those games I was super excited about, finally getting a conclusion to a story I enjoyed, I signed up on their weird website to buy my digital copy and then realised "nope, I need to be able to play this on a controller and not on my PC" about 10 minutes in

Well. At least I'm through to the group B finals.
Last time I made it through to group A round 2, I just crashed out completely

I wonder if anyone will do this and genuinely try and make that argument.

Numbers all seem fine according to my GP appointment, so that's something
Also learned I'll only ever discover my bloodtype if I need a transfusion, so I suppose its a good thing I'm still ignorant

Last day as a 39 year old. Only thing I need to do today is a gp appointment in 40 minutes

Just remembered an offhand comment about a 20hr game being something that surely could be reviewed over a weekend - 20hrs is a short game, right?

2x10hr shifts (absolutely no breaks) would be long days for anyone! And the notes/copy/edits don't just magic themselves into existence after...

I always liked the ability of games from the nes/snes era to communicate things with so little dialogue

like 2 characters could share maybe 3 sentences with each other, but you felt like you knew their relationship
