007 First Light is committed to presenting itself like a playable version of an Eon Bond movie, sometimes to its detriment; a very early mission is essentially a playable training montage, and while I see what they’re going for, the fact that it’s 100% playable and not a cutscene results in the feeling that you’re not watching a montage, you’re actually just being teleported around a map at random while the game is rapid-firing objectives at you. The game is fun and I appreciate how cinematic it is but man they commit way too hard in some places.

I am playing Mina The Hollower and I'm infuriated by the controls. The "sticky" direction controls are causing so many problems that made me run into enemies and fall into pits and losing all my currency within minutes. I want to like the game more but it's fighting me as a player. The flying enemies and the high HP enemies aren't helping either.

@adiwan Yeah, I turned on like 12 or 15 of the built-in options, it's a very fun game but that difficulty makes me wonder if they gave up on balancing it and said "Here, you do it" (or maybe they're saying "Yes, we did this on purpose, and if you don't like it, here")

@scribus It's a dick move then that achievements (feats) are disabled when those, frankly speaking, accessibility options are enabled. I really liked Shovel Knight and it was a properly tough game. Not too hard but challenging, and the mechanics are not unfair. I don't have the same quality experience with Mina the Hollower.

In the theater for the Amazing Digital Circus finale.

@scribus I watched it in theaters on Thursday. I ordered an old fashioned and then, midway into the movie, looked around and realized that I was the only person in the audience who was drinking alcohol. I then ordered a second old fashioned. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876767

I know there's no way this doesn't sound creepy so I'll just come out and say it, the big screen really lets you appreciate the texture of Ragatha's skin

Sugawara of course being a part of the yakuza cinema homage since he’s most famous for starring in yakuza films.

At the end of the day the whole franchise is an homage to yakuza cinema, and this game in particular seems to be a celebration of music, with how many musicians have had their likenesses dropped in. Snoop, Tori Kelly, Ado... Add into that the transpacific themes and IMO I don’t think using Tupac is THAT weird.

Tupac in Stranger Than Heaven is turning out to be Yakuza fans’ blue-armed Sonic moment.

@zeldatra To me I don't have any emotional relationship to Tupac and his music and his real life person. I don't have any clue to what's the point of that. Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One was in a way essential to the universe of the film and can be in a way excused to be resurrected (tough uncannily). In this case it's a completely new story that is not even in the same decade in which Tupac even lived.

@adiwan imo it’s not any sillier than using Bunta Sugawara’s face, he’s been dead for 10 years and nobody seems that bothered by his inclusion.

Never had Ben & Jerry's ice cream. If I had it I don't remember. Either way: when I see it in the store I think about trying one tiny pack but the price is high enough to lose my interest and curiosity.

@adiwan It is fairly premium amongst ice creams, if you like mix-ins especially. I don't feel ripped off at all when I do buy it, but it's also not my regular ice cream
-
@scribus Ah. I'm generally more disappointed that "sorbet" ice cream is not more common and flavors like orange, pineapple, and sweet woodruff are not more common. I'm sick seeing chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cherry.

I make cookies based on their Cherry Garcia flavor that are pretty regularly well received

It's not been very long but I feel the lack of Steven Colbert's Late Show. Usually I wake up at 6AM and his monologue was usually the start of my day.

apple yeah. My raise of my yearly wage is effectively 150€. The economy is Potato Knishesed.

@adiwan I don't suppose the bosses would be swayed by the old point that a raise which fails to outpace inflation is a pay cut?
-
@scribus I know! It's like a kick in the groin into my bank account. The leadership in Canada has stupid high demands in profit and we haven't reached them 7 years in a row. Also a ton of people here don't have a billable project, which is also not a good standpoint to ask for more.

So for a few weeks now I've been dying my muttonchops and moustache blue. Today at work someone asked me, a big white guy with a blue beard, if I was trying to look like Papa Smurf, the famously small blue guy with a white beard. I had no response in the moment and continue to lack one aside from pointing out the direct opposition of every point of comparison.

Woah. New Regular Show episodes.

@scribus One of the episodes was a backstory episode that shows how Benson got the position of the manager of the park. So your remark checks out to some extend.
