  1. 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.

    • @adiwan @adiwan That neither Judgement game is on Xbox GamePass is why I haven’t played them yet. I’ll buy Judgement, but $60 for Lost Judgement is a bit insane considering as of next week there will have been two further games in the series out since LJ’s release (and one of them isn’t even full price!)

    • @zeldatra Yeah. It's somewhat unfortunate. Last time I saw Lost Judgment on sale on Steam was about 60€ with the Kaito Files DLC. That price also stings. I don't know if I buy LAD Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name on release. I would like to but 50€ make me think twice, especially when I don't get it on a physical disc.

  2. Knew I was in for a fun time with this new transfer when I asked which store she came from and she replied “that’s personal information I’m not answering that”

    • @scribus update on this: apparently she had somewhat successfully lied her way into the position she was in. She’d been hired as a deli clerk and was transferred to my store after basically becoming to much for the previous store to handle (thanks for that, guys!). Then when she got here she concocted this plan to basically act like she’d been promoted with the hopes that we’d give her the pay of an assistant manager for at least a while before we found out. Her refusal to answer most of my questions was because she didn’t want me finding holes in the story, like her refusal to tell me what store she came from was to stop me from contacting her previous manager and finding out that she was just a deli clerk - before the whole thing went down I had already figured out what store she was from because… it was listed under her file, which I genuinely can’t believe she didn’t think I would check. Before I was able to ask the manager there about her though, she’d already been fired.

  3. Got the new Cities Skylines, fun times fun times! Got a weird fixation on a six-sided grid as opposed to the regular right angles and all. It's obsessive, I can't stop. It's like some kind of curse. Or maybe even a hex!

    • @scribus I have hundreds of hours in the first one and the second one is driving me absolutely insane because of how much more in-depth it is, I can’t approach things the way I did in the first game because the first game didn’t have apple like air pollution, so now I gotta not put my factories upwind of a suburb. This is a good thing, I get sort of complacent in how I game, it just surprised me how much the game tries to kick old players’ asses in some regards.

    • @zeldatra I spent half an hour relocating a water pump and even the road leading up to it, trying to get better than 10% efficiency. Then I found out that it actually needs to be fully staffed to be fully functional :o

  5. 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.

    • Which is to say, the pilot tries its best to be a black comedy, but every dark joke has to be a) only about as dark as what you’d see on Cartoon Network at 6pm on a weekday, and b) they have to counter balance it with wacky game jokez 4 kidz and meta commentary. It gets in its own way a LOT so by the time we got to the obligatory 2001: A Space Odyssey spoof about twenty minutes in I was fully checked out.

    • In Yakuza Dead Souls, one of Majima’s substories involves dressing Tojo Clan Sixth Chairman Daigo Dojima in drag and pretending he’s your girlfriend so that you can lure out three zombies hiding in Kamurocho Hills. He hates this, but is honor bound as the Tojo Clan’s Sixth Chairman because he already said he would help you in any way he can. The entire mission is escorting Daigo around in heels. Why didn’t people like this game?

      • @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.

      • @scribus i noticed not only this but also the usage (or implied/cut off usage) of offensive words for shock comedy has also been back on the rise since wound 2021 or 2022, and very little complaints about it unlike before. Not certain what the cause of he change in attitudes was.

    • 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).

    • In Yakuza 7, there’s a particular endgame boss with a one-hit KO move that you need to prep for in advance by using one of Ichiban’s defense moves to tank the hit. I did not know this until after the fight was over, because he attempted it once on my healer, missed, and then apparently got embarrassed because he never tried to use it again after that.

            • Read a story on CNN about how they’ve nearly doubled the price of Japanese rail tickets for foreigners, up to ¥50,000 from ¥29,000. Is it bananaed up that my first thought was “well, the yen is falling in value so quickly that by next week it’ll be like nothing even changed?”
