Blue Prince would be my dark horse to make it, but I think it is a little too niche. I like puzzle games and fizzled out on it pretty quickly. I feel like DS2 and Split Fiction had bigger conversations around them than KCD2, but I wouldn't be shocked if I am wrong. I didnt play any of those three.

I would say the output is the bigger part right now. I just get distracted so easily that I have to limit the possible distraction outlets. The occassional current event will sometimes break through and throw me off though.

Honestly, I am mostly fine. I just have a tendency to get distracted easily and it makes me feel really guilty, while I also don't feel like I connect with people well over text most of the time. I really enjoyed your posts and chatting with you though!

Honestly think I am going to delete all social media besides Discord for a very special community. I just feel like it drains my time and sanity and provides little back for me. This one is mostly okay, but I just find myself scrolling and not reading a majority of the posts.

I loved MS2, it is like if Pokémon actually pushed back in the story. I ended up putting in almost 100 hours and didn't finish everything.

I was having this conversation with a friend. I think 2/3 of the nominees will be Indies for thr TGAs. With the two AAA games being DS2 and DK. Along with E33, Silksong, Hades 2, and Split Fiction.

I tried too and dropped it about 20 hours in. I kept hoping it would open up or get more interesting, and I would argue the opposite happened the further I got into the game.

The traps are really strong. I spammed all my traps on one of the two big guys and it died almost instantly. Only time I ever used those. The other fight I hated was the big ant with a random flyer enemy in a very small hallway. Took me over a dozen tries.

That's the one. I think one of only two combat encounters that felt unfair. The last wave on that is very dumb and I had to use tools i had ignored up to that point to have a chance.

Honestly, phase 3 may have locked it in as one of my favorite boss fights. Period. My brain had to completely recalculate my game plan to keep up.

If it is the one I am thinking of it was absurd. Honestly the hardest combat I've experienced by a lot and I am at the end of Act 2.

I think it is a little overrated and too long. I was pretty done with combat in the last quarter of my Golden Deer run, but I was happy I finished it overall. It ended up being like a solid 8/10 for me.

The runbacks are the reason I will never play Dark Souls again. It has been my direct comparison for Silksong though, wish they learned like FromSoft did.

I am trying so hard to be zen and wait for Silksong to show up on PSN so I can play the game on my preferred platform. This is putting my yoga training to the test... I am not sure I can remain strong.

Man, I can get it on Switch or Dteam, but I want to play on my couch, with my dual sense, and be able to track my progress with trophies. Not sure how much longer I can wait for PSN to get it sorted out...

I had a scare my girls ran away after pushing the front window screen out. Took an hour to corral them back into the house and I realized how miserable I would be without them here to comfort me.

They're one of my top 5 bands and have seen them live three times, which is kind of lucky since I love in the states and they are Australian.

I think I literally only made it to about 3 or 4 hours. It was literally when she was introduced I was like, "Nope, not feeling this now." And uninstalled the game.

I had big plans to tackle house projects I have been procrastinating. But after a short night of sleep I needed a nap and Celes decided to snooze with me. I've been awake for 40 minutes and am stuck because she's too sweet. 😭

She made me uninstall the game. Her personality was really hating for the tone of the game otherwise, but I realize it was a pretty rash decision. I want to get back to Berseria at some point, I'm sure it is worth it.

I think hearing your own voice recorded almost always sounds weird to you. I made a podcast with some friends during COVID and I had to do a lot of audio adjustments to remove quiet sections and peaking so I basically had to listen to every whole episode back before I posted it. I hated it.

Kind of a correction, chapters 8 is poorly paced, but i loved the payoff so much it particularly stood out. Heartman is easily my favorite side character.

I finally beat Death Stranding 1. I think the last few chapters are 11/10 story telling, but everything before that is atrociously paced (except chapters 8).

Which is funny because I've moved away from 'TV' shows because I feel like the writing quality has gone way down on average, where I think the writing in games is improving as the medium is better understood.

This reminds me of when I was in Middle School and woke up early to play Xenosaga. I was panicking as I was dead in the middle of a 45 minute cutscene with no end in sight. Then they PUT A SAVE POINT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CUTSCENE. I think it goes for another 20 minutes or so after that.

I actually went to the Blizzard Arena for Overwatch League in 2018, I enjoyed watching it but it was very chaotic. It was more about macro than individual plays most of the time.
