ATLUS: puts SMT V release and Persona 25th anniversary so close to each other

Me: "I should do something to celebrate those two series."

Also me: digs up 3DS to play Overclocked

Listening to a bunch of old books on audible. The Invisible Man by HG Wells is not a scary story. It’s a cheesy action movie. One liners and all.
I see Invisible Man as an ethics experiment turned into writer having too much fun with the concept rather than a staright-up horror monster.

I'd say Well's writing in general is usually unsettling at worst, rather than scary. The far future in the Time Machine is probably the closest he got to being genuinely frightening.

I’m just saying. The best movie portrayal of Griffin would be by Nicolas Cage and you can’t change my mind of that.

Downloaded the Deltarune update on Switch. I'm going out for most of the day so there's a good chance I'll start Chapter 2 while on the bus and stuff like that. Also, it will give me something to do during downtime at work.
Is there anything I should know about it before starting? I already played Chapter 1 but I heard Ch2 has multiple pathways.

It's a mod for Majora's Mask, that replaces like, a ton of textures, with Nicolas Cage's face.


Vinny Vinesauce did a full playthrough of it for charity awhile ago.

What Majora's Mask looks like to someone who hasn't played it:

Wii is sketchy 'cause the amount of work needed to get 90% of the library functioning would take a good amount of work.

GCN though? I could see it by late 2023 with the inevitable Switch successor.
You fool, a Switch successor would simply have 10 NES games while we patiently wait for SNES 2 years after that!


In other news, Arin Hansen is getting upset because he's not breaking Sonic Colours Ultimate

It has a different ending depending on whether you’re neutral/no mercy or pacifist like in Chapter 1, but also it has a major alternative route, however you may not know how to do it without a good guess or looking it up online.

So, there's Venom Snake, Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake right? So when's Plasma Snake? Is Raiden technically Plasma Snake? What's the dank lore on this one?

What GC games do you think would be part of it’s lineup?

Well, it SHOULD be Path of Radiance and Wario World, but stuff like MP1, Sunshine, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion and Double Dash would make the most sense starting off.

Prime 2, Wind Waker, TP, Kirby Air Ride, Pikmin 2, F-Zero X, SF Adventures, SF Assault, maaaaaybe Melee, and the Soccer and Baseball Mario games would work. Same with Gamecube Mario Tennis and Golf. Eternal Darkness and Geist too, for the more gritty titles. Pokemon Colosseum and XD would be dope but I don't see them ever doing that(not that GC support would be likely).

Soul Calibur 2,
Mega Man Network Transmission,
MMX Command Mission,
Sonic Heroes,
Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2,
PN03,
RE1 Remake(I know 4 HD is on Switch I don't know if RE1HD is.)
Twin Snakes,
SA2B,
SADX,
Billy Hatcher,
Pac-Man World 2, 3 and Rally.
MKDA,
MKD,
Bloody Roar Primal Fury
CVS2
Gotcha Force

I still got a Gamecube on me, but I'd still be interested in its potential inclusion more than N64 honestly. Some titles are way too pricey now. But considering how their SNES and NES libraries are, the third party choices, while potentially really cool, would probably disappoint.

SNES could've dropped titles like Rockman and Forte(they dropped JPN only titles like Psycho Dream of all things), Final Fight 2 and 3, like the 3DS got. Hell, even B.O.B or PLOK. Not to mention KI and MK, since unlike Street Fighter and Fatal Fury, you can't get the arcade versions on Switch.

You forgot Naked Snake, who inherited the title of Big Boss from The Boss. Venom Snake was his doppelganger/stand-in.

And no, there isn't a Plasma Snake. Raiden went by Snake at the start of the Big Shell Incident, but then he dropped that codename in lieu of the one initially given to him, which was Raiden.

Oh yeah, Shroob Shroob Just a penguin Just a penguin I did a draft on Friday and got a lot of goodies while I was at it.

I had a $60 off coupon(because I spent so much money at my LGS lol) that I got all of this for $2:
950D694D-0ADB-4205-BE5A-C3114B1BBC7E.jpeg

(as a side note: the recent commander precons have been stacked with really good reprints. I would definitely recommend them to people wanting to get into Commander or Magic in general)

In addition, I bought a MID bundle with my own money
70CD59BB-A4C7-4AE1-96E7-DE0BCB238512.jpeg

and pulled some good ****:
370CA960-35D1-4534-A95F-7D572DC5F8AC.jpeg

(Wrenn is(was?) the most expensive card of the set last time I checked.)

And then we actually got to the draft. I wish I got a few more pics, but I drafted a very bad Selyesna build that was basically just a bunch of good low cost white cards, and what few green cards I could find.(since we only did 4 people pods my options were very limited, but there was some good cards in our pod like a Wrenn and a ton of dual lands):
826DB394-25C7-44B9-8B88-7EB3CAFD59A9.jpeg

I tried getting some cards that could make any color of mana so that I could use cards that weren’t in my colors(hence the random black card) but I only managed to snag 1 card that could make any color of mana more than once so that didn’t help a whole lot.

I managed to win a match though! We only had 2 rounds because of time constraints(by the time we finished building our decks it was already almost 7pm and the store closes at 8) but that was an achievement in of itself.

Lmao Arin Hanson is pissed that he jkined Colors Ultimate hate wave too late and the game isn't glitching out.


Sonic Fans finally catch their first W in over a decade.
How dare game developers fix issues and have their game function as intended to make the experience enjoyable?

NOW how am I gonna beat a dead horse and get my funny "heehuehuehhduehehuheehhe sonc baed lolololo" clicks???

Still blows my mind Sega invited him to things.

Jirad the Completionist makes sense to work with because the dude genuinely loves Sonic and is super honest about his thoughts on the games, good and bad.

Arin literally just wants an excuse to scream at a blue hedgehog to ride the waves of that one time he lost it at Froggy, lol.

I don't think they interact with him on Twitter through the character takeovers anymore, either.

I think they were hoping they'd win him over and get his fans to play the games if they catered to his schtick,

However now, I think, they get the point that he could really care less about the quality of a title, he just wants the easy controversy content clicks.

I actually didn't hear about that one.

I think he and the GG also made several videos dumping on fanmade content, too, now that I'm thinking about it.

He just seems like he's genuinely really nasty and mean to the franchise and anything associated with it for no reason other than he knows it generates views. I definitely understand why Sega would go "Hmmmm maybe we don't want this to be a face of our brand".

Arin Hanson when the Sonic game has been patched and he can't intentionally activate convoluted glitches to **** on the game and has to get new material

Remember that Arin faked liking Sonic Mania.

Tho tbh, at this point is just a troll who should be ignored when it come to Sonic at least, and if Sega finally got the clue, maybe we should all follow & stop giving GG views for the same "jokes" we already seen 10000 times now.
