I’ve never visited Chicago.
It seems like a neat city, but then I look at their weather hazard: rainstorm -> thunderstorm -> snowstorm -> …
Do you all ever get a break?

Rolled credits on Lone Fungus (the 1st game).
Honestly, it was a fun experience. The arts are very cute, and the soundtrack is pretty good. The story was alright, but it intrigued me enough. But some convos feel bloated and can definitely be shortened. Now some specific criticism: 1/8

The thing about Thanksgiving for me is that for half of the years I’ve been in the US, I spend it with non-American friends, so we often end up just doing a normal potluck. We’ll just cook whatever dish we know or want to try, and we often end up with a great variety of food.

These are all great additions to the roster tbh. I’m shook that only one of my picks got in even after they expanded their admission from 3 to 7!
The most shocking thing to me is that the sheep design didn’t get in either!
But congrats to all the winners.

Job searching on LinkedIn and a thought popped into my head “people must know that these are all so fake right? Like all these hypes for work can’t be real right?!”

The main problem with “we should teach kids x” is that the majority of kids do not care to learn. You all must’ve encountered that one coworker who doesn’t care to learn how to do their job right? Yeah, we have those for more than half the class, let alone the fact that they don’t get paid to do it.

Relatedly, people conflate between grindiness or less QoL with challenges.
Modern games have more QoL that make them seem easier, but making you walk around fighting more random monsters to level up doesn’t count as a challenge. Challenges are about making you think and learn how to overcome them!

Note: this game has random encounters.
The major pain point: The game is painfully difficult. Maybe I don’t like grinding for levels, so I feel that it’s way too easy for monsters in a dungeon to wipe my party out of nowhere. The frustration of dying repeatedly in the dungeon is too much. 2/10

People can argue all they want about what AI is useful for, but I won’t stand anyone trying to argue that people have a *social* relationship with AI agents.
Sir, can you do something to AI that makes it so angry or grateful, it would go out of its way to do something back without your prompts?

Anyway, if you decide to try out the game anyway, here are some tips and warnings from me that might help you have a better time with the game:
My review is a POV of someone who’s never played a DQ game. TLDR; DQ 3 is a skip if you have other jRPG games already. It feels like an artifact of the older time. The visuals are pretty, there’s good storytelling in it, but the gameplay is too painful to be worth suffering through 40+ hours. 1/10
Rolled the credit on Dragon Quest 3.
I’m finally free from this painful journey 😮💨
I’ll admit that I started to get invested towards the end, but honestly don’t know if it’s worth all that insufferable gameplay.
Long review will come later.
