Man now I'm already thinking about shiny hunting Kyurem in Sw/Sh. But I haven't even evolved my Gligar or Starly yet. And heck, I need to get a Battle Tower team ready so I can grind out BP! I'm thinking Tyranitar/Gliscor/Heatran.

Some other time, my beloved.

I hunted it in Ultra Moon, it looks real nice in battle.

Well, my mom now knows what I'm getting her for Christmas.

Damn it...
Hey, at least she only knows what she's getting and isn't going to have to stare at the present for a month. Meanwhile, once the people we've hired to assemble it come tomorrow, I'm going to have to deal with a whole month of staring at a Street Fighter II machine in my room without actually playing it.

so they went back to calling it Mother 4? last i checked they tried to rebrand it into Oddity or something

wow, this thing's also been in development for a decade...
Actually I think this might be a different game entirely? Hilarious if true.
yeah it’s a different game by different people, Oddity will still be called Oddity.

This one features a boy named Aaron, who looks like Lucas though his hairstyle is different.

So remember my randomizer I mentioned earlier? I went to challenge Grant and effortlessly killed his first mon, a Tympole. But then he sent in his second one, a Groudon. A mother****ing Groudon. I buffeted Groudon a ton and got it to like 1 HP, but as it turned out it had Rest. It had already used Toxic Spikes earlier, and all my non immune mons died to Poison if not Groudon's Psywave/Blast Burn combo. My Herdier, Bastiodon, Tranquill, Swanna, and Lileep all got defeated, and all that was left was my weak little Butterfree. I expected death but Groudon went for Psywave, which Butterfree could take several of. And then I realized: It had run out of Blast Burn PP on my previous mons. With my few scraped together healing items, some good Psywave RNG, it using Rest and a ton of Judgement and Crunches, I managed to stall Groudon until it was not only out of Psywave PP, but out of Rest PP. It was stuck with Toxic Spikes, which it already layed out two sets of earlier, that I had avoided thanks to Butterfree's part flying typing. Thus, Butterfree just spammed Gear Grind until it died. On the verge of death, with all its competent allies defeated, my Butterfree of all things managed to save my Nuzlocke run. My losses definitely sting, but that was the most clutch battle I've ever had in a Pokemon game period.

Once I finish Arcane, what should I watch next?
I'm leaning toward Hilda, but I'm also thinking about Glitch Techs.

Just finished Arcane.

Made up my mind; watching Hilda.

Looks at my timezone its now been exactly five years since this game came out: Final Fantasy XV.

Still to this day one of the most divisive games I've ever played (not the only FF on that).

Five years on it is a very flawed game. Framerate issues, story was terrible (Chapter 13) and needed to be fleshing out (lore also impeded a lot of restrictions on direction like mad). most side characters were meh and a lot of other stuff. Not to mention even with heaps of DLC the game still need a lot of blitzing.
Oh and female character issues. Combat was great.....................but then a few months later Nier Automata came out and showing what it should have been like a bit.

That being said, you had some of the greatest character chemistry in the series (the Chocobros bounced off each other perfectly on the field and in combat), Lucis had a unique modern fantasy open world that really needs to be done again (and dialed up to 11), camping and food system was fun.
On the story side you had a great protagonist/antagonist and via the Royal Edition one of the best bossfight chains leading up to the end but again issues throughout.

Most importantly this was the game to get me to hype responsibly from now. Thanks for hearing my opinions. I have a lot more faith for FFXVI though.

Also gonna tag SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 since she played it some time ago.

Back from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Quite enjoyable and had a heart warming tribute to Harold Ramis.

FYI, there is a post credit scene.
There is actually two post credit scenes.

Also I just finished the first episode of Hilda and one of the characters had a very familiar voice.
I looked up who voiced Alfur and I got a "Rasmus Hardiker."

Listening to songs made before my time made me realize: some of these lyrics were pretty damn on the nose with how literal they were with no room for interpretation. Not saying that makes them bad, but damn some of them were just narrating the most basic **** in the life over a beat.


In other words, I listened to Ice Cube's It Was a Good Day.

Snake’s don’t really whimper.

It’d be more like…downtrodden hissing.

I really didn’t like it. I remember wishing that the two girl guest party members could join permanently (can’t remember their names), , I remember thinking the time skip at the end was really stupid, I thought the characters were either boring or annoying (looking at you Prompto), I hated how you couldn’t combo sword attacks unless you held down the friggin attack button, so much down time having Ignis drive me everywhere, I can’t get over how the Leviathan boss fight was just the Perfect Chaos fight from Sonic Adventure complete with Super Sonic Noctis, all the side quests were so god damn tedious for so little reward or story progression or character development… it’s just… I’m so glad they went on to make 7R. That’s what 15 should have been. And I hope 16 is closer to the Cloud’s modern adventure than Noctis’s.

I just watched Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It was more entertaining than I thought it would be (but not without its issues; several key events happen with no explanation, Venom and Carnage don't properly meet until the last 15 minutes or so, and Carnage has several powers that he gains out of nowhere and never uses again, like spinning fast enough to create a tornado), though I said something like "oh no, is Venom going to rap?" at one point. (thankfully, he did not)

I had seen the mid-credits scene on Youtube beforehand, but I'm interested to see how he'll be incorporated into Spider-Man: No Way Home. I'm guessing that he'll start out as one of the Sinister Six, since he thinks that Spider-Man murdered someone, only to switch sides at the end. (along with Doc Ock, if the trailers are any indication)

Admittedly, three Spider-Men, Doc Ock, and Venom vs. the Green Goblin, the Lizard, Sandman, and Electro seems a little one-sided in the heroes' favour, so I'm not sure if they'll go with that. I don't know if Venom will return to his own universe afterwards, or if he'll stay in the MCU - I could see it going either way, though I feel like his appearance in this will lead to him adopting the big white spider symbol on his chest.
