What's that? A beloved game from 10 years ago? More likely than you think.

I know it's not worth "caring" about this, but even so, I find these things interesting, so here's my prediction thread:

Jin had his, now Atsu's got hers and is taking a well-deserved rest. We got the Ghost of Yotei Platinum today, and not I put this excellent game down to move on to the next thing. (until a DLC comes along...)

Welp, that's a wrap on Pokémon Legends: Z-A streams. We beat the game, caught the legendaries, and had a great time. I'll still be playing more, but since the rest is a lot of grinding, that'll be happening off-stream so we can move on to other things. Thanks everyone who came along for the journey!

After finishing the game, I'm standing by basically everything I wrote at this midpoint, with a few adjustments. The game length is perfect, basically as big as HK with DLC content and this is just the base for Silksong. Runbacks are too long and unnecessary.
After completing the initial story of Silksong, I have some thoughts, especially re: the critiques that it is either too hard or too short, as well as how it compares to Hollow Knight.

Chick-fil-a launching a vending machine that shuts off on Sundays sounds like an article by The Onion and yet... here we are. Reality has become a parody of itself.

We went to go see Some Like It Hot on stage last night, and it was a rollicking, joyful good time. The original is one of my favorite old movies, and it was wonderful to see the queer subtext from the film built out into a full storyline here. An absolute joy.

I sorta feel like if Sucker Punch wants to keep with the "Ghost of" series after Yotei, their next game should be a radical shift. Like... Ghost of Tokyo set in the recent past, all in the city. I love Ghost of Yotei, but I don't know if we need another samurai/feudal-era game in the series.

I don't think I've ever experienced such a massive discrepancy with a game between what the online consensus seems to say and my own experience as I did with Phasmophobia tonight. I couldn't make it 2 hours without wishing I was doing literally anything else. 😬
