Ghost of Yotei so far is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect.
Though the way you uncover explored areas of the map severely screws with my OCD... 😐
"Why are you going back? The quest is up north."
"Theres a tiny blip of empty territory I need to uncover."

Trying to teach your cat to play board games with you is trickier than we had anticipated.
Probably shouldn't have started with Trivial Pursuit. 🤔 Poor fella has only been around a year, and expecting him to know what year during WWII the Battle of the Bulge took place is asking a bit much.

Me, after reminding myself that all the ex-friends and deranged family members that I blocked from all social media and my phone back in January are still blocked...
... and have no idea how my life is going.
They will remain blocked indefinitely.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is getting temporarily shelved. I'm either hitting burnout from playing the others recently, or the fact that 4 is just insanely monotonous.
The combat is excellent, but I can only take fighting wave after wave of repetitive mobs in a repetitive landscape for so long.

Calcifer is doing much better on the "no kitties on the counter" rule, so now he just politely watches us cook dinner from the garbage can. 😅

I swear to Christ, if that D.A.R.E. program from the 90s were about video game peer pressure instead of drugs, I would have failed it spectacularly. 😐

I don't think we can hate on the cover art of Switch 2 games enough.
The glaring block of text at the bottom with the QR code is so blatantly unnecessary, it's almost as if Nintendo is trying to mock physical collectors. 🙄

Well.... my first foray into this goofy nonsense, and I'll have to admit, I see the appeal.
My wife strung me along a bit with helpful tips and being my sidekick, but it roped me in linger than I expected. 😅
Level 23 already. I'm so going to regret caving in, I know it.

Holy shitballs, I SUUUCK at this!! 🤣
The combat is slick as hell, and I love the style so far, but god damn, I am getting absolutely pulverized at every boss encounter.
I can handle soulsbornes just fine. This? Yeah, normal difficulty doesn't fuck around. 😅

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is definitely a slick remaster. I really hope Team Ninja can eventually do the same treatment to the first one.
They took all the good elements of Sigma 2, junked the fluff, and exaggerated the 360 version's gore without sacrificing any visuals or framerate.
This was a blast!

After 24 years, the XBOX brand is officially dead.
Jesus fucking Christ, dude, way to completely miss the whole entire point of the competitive gaming industry.
People don't buy video game consoles just for multimedia fluff. They want GAMES. Everything else is supplemental.
Such a garbage take.

Game design has always had its silly moments, and some have crossed the line of blatant absurdity.
"Sorry, player, but Ryu is too polite and courteous of building protocol to cross over this to get to the merchant. You gotta go find another path."
It was goofy in 2008, and it's even worse now. 😂

25 years. Holy fucking shit.
Still, this is one of the last GREAT consoles ever released, let alone the last generation where everything was offline, games were released in completely finished states.
This is an era I would return to without hesitation.

Yeah, replaying Ninja Gaiden Σ put me on a little kick... I replayed a little bit of Σ2, but I had to see how Black fares in comparison.
Holy shit, is it way better! And I was one of the weirdos who preferred Σ2 to the original 2 on the XBOX 360. 👀
I'll likely go straight to 4 after.

I got the itch to go back replay Ninja Gaiden Σ for the first time in almost exactly 18 years...
God, that hurts to say that. 😅
But yeah, back in 2007, this was the first PS3 game I purchased, and holy hell has it aged rough.
The camera is ungodly, and HOLY GONZAGAS, BATMAN!! 🤣
