Finished Shadow Generations. Pretty good game, though the hubworld stuff feels like filler. Also the bosses rellied way too much on the Doom Powers Mephiles was a chore to fight while in Doom Morph.

Also, why did Black Doom choose to make his final stand in Radical Highway of all places. Like yeah, I guess technically it's the first stage you ever get to control Shadow in but it hardly feels like one of the most iconic places in Shadow's history and it's not really relevant to Black Doom at all.

Yeah, I liked it too but the hub world was clunky and overall detracted from the experience for me. I think Sonic Generations is a more well rounded game.

But overall this is still probably the... third? best 3D Sonic.

Made a Bluesky account.

Already comparing myself to more experienced photographers and feeling inadequate.

I think it's crazy how anyone can prefer Sonic Gens over Shadow Gens gameplay wise. Like, I've gotten all but 2 things, 3 counting achievements for the latter but Shadow's got much smoother controls on account of the Open Zone stuff, it legit feels kinda bad playing Modern Sonic again cause he can't turn in the air nearly as smoothly, not to mention the lack of a double jump really hurts though that's more muscle memory. Don't get me wrong it's still a fantastic game that got some nice improvements here and there but like damn, I hope future games are more designed like the latter and I can't wait for the Shibuya DLC

Yes it is a remaster of the original Yooka-Laylee.

Also technically counts as one of the first titles announced for the Switch Successor since they didn’t mention the Switch at all in the trailer.

OK, so for someone who's new to the survival horror genre and wants to get into it, which game would be the best to start with? Resident Evil 2 Remake or Silent Hill 2 Remake?

RE2 is significantly easier on your wallet as it's a few years ago while going on sale rather frequently and just so happens to be excellent, great pacing, phenomenal sound design and depending on the kind of gamer you are, immensely satisfying to replay. I never got around to beating it but the game already gave me unforgetable memories, genuinely fantastic stuff

Also good news for fans of classic 3D platformers that sold 3 million back around 1999/2000

So we found the concept art for Mega Jynx. I doubt this design is getting reused for ZA, but in the off chance it does or we get one similar, I’ll spoil the design because it’s something:

I have finally finished the pre-timeskip saga of One Piece

IMG_9799.jpeg

IMG_9801.jpeg


I’m taking a break now. 600 chapters in 2 months is a little too fast. My thoughts:

1. its good
2. the arc that ended this saga was a solid conclusion but also left me with a lot of questions, that will probably get answered 500 chapters from where i am now
3. a 29 year old woman simping for a 17 year old child? in MY manga? at least it isn’t as bad as what happens in CSM

Is this going to be physical or digital? Both?

It's not bad but I can see why they didn't go with it - it's a bit too similar to the regular Jynx and doesn't do anything interesting with its design. I'd love the Jynx family to get some love but if they give it a Mega design I hope they try a bit harder than this.

I'm convinced that Wikipedia just rolls dice when they decide whether a Pokemon is or isn't worthy of an individual article.

It's so wild to me how Klefki is the only Gen VI mon with a Wikipedia article just because of Pokemon fans' terrible taste.

Sometimes it does.

I get that Wikipedia isn't Bulbapedia and therefore it probably shouldn't have an article for every single Pokemon, but randomly changing which mons are and aren't article-worthy every single day or so isn't any better. The Ninetales article I posted is a good example: They're constantly changing their minds on whether the multi-tailed fox worthy of its own article is Vulpix, Ninetales, both, or neither. And don't get the Wikipedia staff started on their Alolan forms, because apparently regional forms by themselves can be individual article-worthy without Johtonian Corsola having one:

In other news, Overwatch 2 is going to test how a 6v6 mode will work with the game.

And just like that, the biggest difference between games (aside from y’know, how to obtain cosmetics) is vanishing.

Yeah, but you would think the Pokemon that topped two different popularity polls, had significant presence in the anime, and two time Smash Character would have an article.

I also learned Fuecoco has one and Sprigatito got one, but Quaxly doesn't.

Sprigatito's has it's evos there too and the article pic is just a screenshot of the game and not official art

Better than the Animal Crossing hotel.

I hear the owner going “yes yes” every night.

But hey, the guaranteed Saturday entertainment is always good.
