Last pull of raid tonight and my goddamn UPS power flickered and shut off my PC. Literally the opposite of what it's supposed to prevent.

Reminder that JK Rowling is not a corporation. Every time she does something shitty I hear people say "well all corporations do evil things" but she's not a corporation. She's an individual who uses the money she makes off an extremely specific luxury item to actively hurt people.

Persona 3 Reload is a solid version of P3 but playing it really makes me wish I was playing Persona 5 instead.
Not till a P5 hardtype mode gets finished though.

Tried out MineMogul. Brand new factory builder, and it's pretty great! It's got Hydroneer's machine fiddling with Satisfactory's load balancing. It's early access but what's here is well worth it.

Atlus what is the point of making Persona 3 Reload freeze when I alt+tab if it still makes every other program on my PC run worse

I need a game like Dead Space except there's no horror or combat and the entire game is just running around a big industrial spaceship repairing things.

I need more RPGs with custom parties & no pregens. It's not enough for me to have one custom character. I need my entire party to be custom characters.

Highly recommend looking into different versions of Pong as a study on game design. Every electronics company in the 70s had their own Pong console and each one behaved a little bit differently. Really shows how there's no one correct way to make a video game.

On my somethingth run through Super Metroid and Maridia continues to be the single worst part of it. Anakin Skywalker was right, sand is the worst.
