I'll probably buy Lost Judgment (+ DLC) as soon as there is a major discount. I ain't gonna pay almost 100€ for a game no matter how amazing it is.
-
Being sick has some advantages. I finished Judgment. I did a ton of side stuff and yet my completion screen has floored me saying that there is much more to complete. Still... I totally recommend Judgment. Saori best character.

Dang it. A small group of 8 year old sugar addicts disregarded my seclusion and robbed me out of my candy.

Dodged some trick-or-treat-ers by having all my blinds down. Also it is slightly raining, so they weren't eager to try. Maybe next year I'll craft an auto-candy-dispenser. I have enough micro controllers.

GREAT!!!11 The dish washer leaked all over my kitchen floor. Both the door seal as well as the hose leaked immensely. The worst part is that I suspect it has leaked very little in the last years. There was a wonderful caked sticky layer below the dish washer.

@scribus Is watching a YT video so different from reading up on a strategy guide back in the day? I try to avoid guides but there are times when the game isn't fun and I want to get to the fun again without the road block.
-
@zeldatra Maybe because first/3rd-person shooter on consoles suck. I'd like to play it for the wackiness but it's a hard sell for me demanding to use the controller for that kind of gameplay. Also it's not very cheap to purchase as ebay prices are way up and higher than original retail price.
-
Cool. Cool. Another bomb from WW2 has been found in my city and the planned defusing of that bomb is in a few weeks. Need to prepare for an evacuation, mostly for my mother as she lives in the evacuation zone. At the edge of it but everyone has to leave that zone for the whole time (about 6 hours).
-
@zeldatra You were so lucky. I had to fight that boss probably a dozen times. I had to switch up my whole party because of him. Without I couldn't get over that difficulty spike.
-
Everything hurts. I'm exhausted by all the carrying of boxes and the disassembly and assembly of furniture. Moving sucks a lot.

@scribus I know it's disrespectful to laugh about other people's names and dead ones but I've read that as "Dick Buttkiss".

I caved in and preordered Majima and Kiryu figures https://i.imgur.com/rAlAqgH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zrsstX8.jpg Poor financial decisions.

@zeldatra I think I've spent about 80 hours with that game finishing all side quests that are reasonable to finish. The any% speed run is at 3h 11min. You have a lot of game in front of you. Have fun.

I'm using the car a lot in the recent weeks and I hate the radio, more the dumb music that comes from the radio stations. I'd like to play my own but for a 5 min drive it's not really worth playing my own, however my frustrations with radio music grows. When I want to listen to the same pieces I rather choose something from my music library. For example it's cooler to listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeqyEzK87z4 than any pop music crap.

@zeldatra I tried the baseball management and the clan builder and I share the same opinion, they are the weakest mini games. The clan builder is too simple, and the baseball management is too obtuse and lacks more involvement during a match. The chat room mini game is also quite lacking. There is some novelty but there is no reason to play it more than once. I enjoyed the undersea fishing a lot, but only when playing with the PC mouse. The gamepad analog stick moves the reticle tooo slowly.
-
@zeldatra Yeah. They listened to all the critics that were complaining about all the reading and didn't think that animating all the scenes is eXpEnSiVe. Still 1000 times better than the fully voice-acted Oblivion or Skyrim. For what they did it was an adequate job using canned animation clips. Y6 was probably the only game in the series where I haven't mashed though the dialogue because of the voice acting. I tend not to skip voiced dialogue (even when I don't understand Japanese). Written dialogue is quicker do digest and thus mashable when nothing really happens.
-
@zeldatra Him being at EA before that goes great with that... I read that that amount of stocks was only a very small percentage of his stock holdings. Still looks scummy.

@scribus Unity is in the red for years and buying Weta wasn't cheap so they were grasping for the most stupid decision to gain (repeatable) revenue by choosing to get paid by the amount of installs of the games. The problem is that indie game developers have very little profit and it can cost more in the long run than it gained profit. Also the way to determine the amount of installs is not clear. The last information I heard was that Unity wanted to use a heuristic to guess the amount of installs. Also Unity did that decision out of nowhere and tried to cover their tracks by sneakily removing paragraphs in their license that would hinder that license change. Unity had image problems (being used for asset-flip games, taking a lot of time for updates and being behind on the technical side) before but that was a huge kick in the balls to devs and all people who bought games made with Unity.
-
@scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.
-
@scribus In my city there are some but you have really look for them, as most of them are hidden. I used google maps today to look up where they are and I'm surprised that there are more than I thought. Even a place I regularly drove by had one and I didn't know until now. There are no big signs or like that. Most of them are near parks and they are hidden behind bushes.
-
@scribus I want the ivy to be exterminated. I don't allow it to have a second chance on my land. The main stem at one spot was as thick as my ring finger.
-
Gardening will be a pain. Everything is mostly overgrown with ivy. There was even a cut dead tree fully overgrown by that stuff. The tree was so decayed it was basically at the strength of cardboard. The ivy gave it the most structural integrity.
-
@scribus Yeah. Preserving jars are almost the same in that regard. It's cheaper to just buy stuff that's sold in a preserving jar than to buy them empty. A family member has some apple trees and the preserving jars I collected were used to preserve apple sauce made from these apples.
-
@scribus I watched it on Netflix. I don't really give an recommendation to watch it but it's something to waste time on, best for doing something on the side "watching" it.
-
"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" what a bad movie. For the most part it's "fine". Very slow pacing but "fine". The last act was the kick into the groin.
-
I have the keys to the house. If it weren't for the heat, I'd be moving my stuff to the house. 31°C and no clouds. Unbearable.
-
@scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.
-
The last season of Disenchantment is quite a mess in how the story was told.
