Well, today's the day that I reach the big 18 in my lifetime...

Happy birthday!

The Last of Us 2, I sort of agree on. It was amazing thematically but it should have been a bit of a different plot.

Is it bad fanfiction? I wouldn't say so but did I expect far better from Naughty Dog? Definitely.

Spoiler

The thing that irks me the most is the treatment Joel gets and how he dies.

A man who watched his daughter die in front of him survived 25+ years in a post-apocalyptic world cynical and distrusting of strangers suddenly trusts these random strangers and naively goes into a room least suspecting a thing until getting set up and ambushed.

He even told them his damn name! Since when does Joel do that?

And the fact

Spoiler

Ellie's revenge was all pointless because she went out all of that way to kill Joel's murderer only to spare her due to a flashback. You're pretty far beyond "You'll be no better than them" or "Revenge is wrong" when you already murdered multiple people that were standing in your way.

There's also how the game tries to make you like Joel's killer and even play as her...

I'm not even a fan and that alone pissed me off. Because I could feel for the fans of that series and could be in their shoes if God of War got that treatment.

In case if you haven't already figured it out, Origami King's OST is a banger. They did not gold back in the studio

Ellie's revenge was all pointless because she went out all of that way to kill Joel's murderer only to spare her due to a flashback. You're pretty far beyond "You'll be no better then them" or "Revenge is wrong" when you already murdered multiple people that was standing in your way.

That's why I said that I expected far better from Naughty Dog. If you made the plot more logical then it really would have been better.

Still it does seem like after God of War and Spider-Man, PlayStation have lost some of their touch story wise.
We've mentioned The Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima so far has been a bit generic while Death Stranding is up on meth. What a shame. Oh and Days Gone apparently wasn't great

All four had great plot ideas on paper but failed in execution.

Michael the Spikester You might want to spoiler-tag the last part of that first sentence. I'm aware that the leaks gave it away, and I'm pretty sure that it's a big part of why people dislike the game, but it's better to be safe than sorry. (then again, I'm not overly familiar with the Last of Us, so I'm not sure if that bit of information is common knowledge by this point)

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

One of those days where you can't get your mind to focus,

Trying to write my story but my brain is like nope, let's focus on something else.

 

[dezeray112]

Currently rewatching Wreck It Ralph after many years.

The movie is pretty visually.

Well the first film was quite memorable in ways which had memorable video game characters as cameos.

I'm still eager to see Pixar's Soul and Disney Animation Studio's Raya the Last Dragon when it comes out next year.

 

[Wademan94]

Also just gonna say, Incredibles 2 was not worth the 15 year wait.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Imagine if Bad Box Art Mega Man had looked like this instead

It probably would’ve helped soften the blow of his reveal in SFxT

Done.

To be honest, if we had still bean getting a steady stream of normal Mega Man titles at the time, I think he would have been seen as what he truly is, ****ing hilarious.

Also, reminder that the Pac-Man in the game is Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

My best friend absolutely loved it. It just felt off to me. Granted I haven't played it but I did watch playthroughs and stuff so I guess in a way I don't really have much of a place to speak.
Then again to me I feel like God of War, Gravity Rush 2, Horizon and Spider-Man have been their best games this gen.
I'm so far loving Ghost of Tsushima, it's just that some parts feel more off, like the animations and as mentioned in a post earlier the graphics on original PS4 feel off.

 

[Wademan94]

Also, reminder that the Pac-Man in the game is Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man.

There’s actually two versions of that design, the Pac-Man Party version and the version that’s in the actual show. And the one in SFxT is a bit of a mix with the Party version body and fingered hands of the show version.

I really wish gamers would take stopping the spread of COVID19 or helping in the fight to eradicate systematic racism as seriously as they do insulting each other for "poor performance" or whatever. Seriously. I've begun playing Overwatch (BTW, the Switch is NOT an ideal platform for something like Overwatch or Fortnite) recently and watching live streams on Twitch, and some of the stuff I've heard, I cannot and will not repeat. I've always known that Smash has its fair share of issues regarding how players treat each other, or the people making the game (whether it's Smash-Sakurai-san and the Waluigi fanboys or Mortal Kombat-Ed Boon and the Mileena fanboys)....Smash's players have nothing on players of games like those of League of Legends or Overwatch, not everyone of course, but way too many do act with immaturity. I mean, really, I really have to wonder what video game characters would think of the people controlling them acting with such immaturity. Do these players not realize or care that there are more important things to worry about than Mercy not being near to heal you or not having a character you want added in? Believe me, I'm no exception, and every time I get frustrated playing a game, I have to get a refresher course that, hey, it's only a game, look what's happening in the world around you, that's more important.

So anyways, I'm in the middle of Chapter 3 of Origami King.

Something really... interesting happened at the beginning of that chapter. I wasn't really expecting that.

Spoiler: The intersting bit (BIG spoiler)

Bobby kills himself

You don’t wanna know the sound of the squee I just made.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

*sighs* 250 words will have to do today for my story and not what I planned. Usual noise distractions.

And one of my old classmates keeps saying weird stuff. He's fun when you, him and a few others at a sandwich shop, but I think he is bored. Like not being out has cracked him.

Was hoping to get to think about a sub-plot for my story.

 

[Aurane]

We're under an emergency storm watch. We gonna ge wet.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

It is a great game but the issues will hopefully be fixed with patches. Something about some of the animations don't transition well to each other.

And the photo mode is pretty good, as evident by my pfp.

 

[Wario Bros.]

It's 5 o'clock PM here. Either that Nintendo Direct is going to shadow drop or it ain't happening tomorrow.

 

[Will]

Man, I've been wanting to pick up Meta Knight for a while now. He just seems fun, but not in the busted Brawl way.

 

[Z25]

It’s probably a shadow drop. I doubt they can record a typical direct now.

It be really surprising if literally everyone is wrong on this but kinda of funny.

Any progress is better than no progress. Hopefully you will write more tomorrow, but from a writer to another, don't be too hard on yourself : )

Some child in Overwatch just threatened to set my balls on fire. You kids and your weird fantasies.

 

[snowgolem]

seriously, what is going on with smash online?
Once again, the attack button isn’t even working but works just fine when I click the home button. Please tell me I’m not the only one.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Which is better? Playing PS1 games on PS2 or on PS3?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Feels weird that the color swaps for Sub-Zero in Project M EX Remix are just him looking like the other Mortal Kombat color ninjas.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Man, I wish Valkiria chronicles 2 and 3 got Switch ports alongside the first games Switch port, only having 1 and 4 on the switch annoys me.

These are some of my favorite games on the switch right now so I'd love to play the others.

That is pretty much what he would look like in an actual Smash game, let's be real here.

In case if you haven't already figured it out, Origami King's OST is a banger. They did not gold back in the studio

They had no business going that hard as they did on the ost for a game like this.

Are you using joy cons? That’s what happened to me a lot. But since getting and using my pro controller I have been fine. Same for the GameCube ones I have.

How do you get ahold of that and install it?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Official-wise, Sub-Zero had had lots of designs throughout the series.

Mod-wise, I want Scorpion too which would mean Sub-Zero would need to get his alts changed.

How do you get ahold of that and install it?

You need a Brawl ISO and the mod pack.

I can't provide the links for them.

 

[PeridotGX]

I think this is a good guide (It's for Project M vanilla, but I can't imagine it would be too different a process). I've tried to do it three times and it hasn't worked, but that's probably because I'm dumb.

Mamboo07 I had to squint my eyes to see clearly what was going on, and at first I honestly thought Kirby had sliced the real Dedede in half, and then I saw it was...cake? And still, seeing Kirby with the knife in between the two pieces gave me shivers. O-O

You don't need any of those downloads on that site as the PMEX Remix pack has the emulator included.

Apparently, "everything is cake" is a meme now. I'm not sure if I'm out of touch, or if we're all going insane because of the quarantine. Probably both. Back in my day, the cake was a lie!

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Ah, a cultured one.
