I talk about games constantly, occasionally weird about them, and definitely spend too much time playing them. Guitar player and professional CAD guy.

I also completed 100% of Expedition 33 and it's one of the best games I've played, period, massive credit to Sandfall

I was very morose when I finally hit the 100% marker lol

I stand by that the game is obviously good, and well made. But I think it has pretty major progression issues that makes the experience feel very unwelcoming. I've no idea if I've progressed towards the main objective, and don't feel like my time with it has been very rewarding. A welcome uninstall.

Played for three/ four hours and feel like I probably saw so many things that were worth taking a picture of/ remembering/ noting down for later, and the anxiety of that knowledge is very very real

So far my experience has been that Yasuke basically walks the entire game like a god amongst men, eliminating the need for care of suspense at all

Which I guess could be fun occasionally, but Naoe presents more gameplay challenge by default, so it's a weird contrast

I've seen retail middle managers act with more decorum than Trump and Vance did in that interview, and I'm honestly impressed that Zelensky managed to keep his cool for as long as he did

Biden's US may have aided their efforts against Russia, but Trump's US doesn't deserve their grace

It's deplorable, downright abhorrent that two world leaders can insult another for doing what any world leader would've done, and inarguably doing it better

Entire nation should be ashamed for letting them into office, and continuing to let them speak this way

I know this movie was torn apart and restructured as part of Disney's reshuffle, but I've had these issues with a couple of other recent MCU projects as well. It really feels like a movie designed by a committee, rather than a film at times.

Thank god the action was good

Multiple characters clearly never/ rarely even interact in-shot properly. Characters with their faces hidden and voices with weird acoustics, phone calls, and more. The main bad guys don't even have any face time with Harrison Ford, which makes no sense when you consider the plot.

Vague spoilers I guess, but it's painfully obvious that Sidewinder wasn't in the movie originally for example. Pretty obvious how cut down Shira Haas' role was as Sabra - like where on earth did her supersuit looking thing come from? The entire ending moment, in the photo above, was all CGI.

The honest (and shitty) answer is that many people simply don't believe the article in question to be true. Whether it's the vocal right wingers, or the silent 'middle of the road' types.

It sucks entirely, but there's nothing you can do to change people's minds in scenarios like this sadly.

Oh, you mean this guy? Pretty sure he's followed me three or four times for some reason

Not sure what he hopes to gain from *checks notes* doggedly refollowing someone who doesn't even work in the gaming industry, but there we go
