I tried to be funny on the internets
I guess I have some sidequests to finish up but this is a pretty fun game after all. Doesn't take too long to complete either.

Now what to do in the second half of the month...

Gotta also give props to the music. I love the battle theme.

Other than that, the battle system is still a horrendous bunch of polygons and effects clashing against the enemy, with multiple voices happening at the same time. At least each character's unique this time around, but it's really messy.

At a crucial point in the game you basically get a huge lore dump and the MC, Matthew is pretty much surprised by everything in one go.

Also gotta say, the English voices are pretty good, though I really can't get past how strange Rex sounds like. I know he's an adult but he's sounding a bit weird.

You get Shulk and Rex in here and the locales are mostly taken from the original games. In XC3, there are subtle references, but it's mostly a mish-mash of landmass that just happened to be bunched together.

The plot goes into overdrive a little bit too fast, though.

And yes this is pure conjecture. I don't care anymore. This season has gone to hell anyway.

It's become quite apparent in his tenure that Kawhi's been very good at times, but he's not always available.

But at this point, he (and his uncle) are more trouble then he's worth. Just trade the guy and move on, even though we should let him leave by 2027. I'm not even adding the Aspiration deal.

As a Clippers fan, this doesn't make sense at all. We're bad enough already this season. Just let him have his retirement tour (as a Clipper legend!) and he seemed happy to be with the team and sit on the bench.

If this is kowtowing because he's not in Kawhi's corner or whatever, then screw Kawhi.

And these two brands don't really have good support, it seems (or at least only Chinese from where I'm at). At least with Logitech, I can at least go to their store or repair center if I encounter an issue.

I think I'll try to ride this old thing till it's really time.

Like I'm not comfortable enough with keyboards having a delete key at the top.

The KZZI I75 is such. Everything looks good, except the switches are their own, not a Kalih/Gateron low profile.

Another is the RK N80. Love the big knob with screen, but it sounds way too clacky for my tastes.

The G915X is the obvious replacement, but it's overpriced.

The Keychron K1 Max is also another choice, but it doesn't have a volume knob. And it's seemingly slowly disappearing in the market.

There are alternatives, but with compromises on the use case.

Can't fault her for being creative

At my time I had to rely on buses lol

I still don't know how I survived so many years without a car.

Hello there

Though I'm sure the "Citrus" line would get a lot of objections IRL. Fortunately, it's just a game.

I'm doing Honolulu first and just stretched a line of downtown Honolulu, though it doesn't have locale data so I have to cross-check Google map.

On the station to the left I can't find the mall's name and just called the station "Costco". Nice.

If I can build station exits, I'd play this like mad.
