I love how the most vocally pissed off kiryu kazuma gets is at kids who beat up the homeless

Kazuma has a special anger setting just for other Yakuza that is āi am going to sound so quiet and contained because you know i am storing up my energy for when I tear my shirt off and beat the hell out of youā, but yeah, he will justifiably just straight up yell at some kids.

I played some Titanfall 2 and Iām upset that Apex Legends doesnāt have wall running again. Why would you make something literally perfect and abandon it

Iām not quite sure how I feel about Environmental Station Alpha yet. Iām just barely compelled to put more time into it, but I also feel like I could just bail on it and not feel disappointed.
edit: Nah, annoying second boss fight sealed the deal, deleted

Spentā¦a few hours, I guess? Playing Snowrunner again, from scratch, because itās been too long since I last played it.
Found the best way to approach it in 2021 anno domini is to just crank down the country rock buttrock guitar riffs that kick in when you start really muddinā and listen to a podcast, or lofi or whatever. Pretty good if you do it that way.
Also forgot and subsequently remembered that you have to activate quests before, uh, doing what youāre supposed to do. Driving way out in the muck on a farm, dragging a pickup truck out back to the garage down the road, repairing and refueling it, only to find out that I 1) forgot to activate the quest back in the mire and 2) all I had to do was drag it back to the farm, well!!

FWIW the same team as this also has 2000:1: A Space Felony in the giant bundle and IMO it is a better if less ambitious take on this concept. It also doesnāt allow saves for some baffling reason and still likely qualifies as a non-mystery, but if you felt this was almost interesting it might be worth checking out some day. If you didnāt well hell, one less game in the universe you have to worry about.

Thanks to @Tegiminisā cat we were able to conduct a scientific experiment to see what would happen if you could wiggle the halo cartridge inside your NES
this is 13 minutes of the videogame āfuck i cant access the files i need WHAT THE FUCK DO I DOā equivalent of an mkultra programming track. the game crashed at the end of this but it worked for around 45 minutes much to my surprise. the sound of loud industrial saws in the left channel puts SPARTAN-IIs in the mental place of perfect killing

I played a few hours of Shantae and the Pirateās Curse last night because 
The writing is bad and the story is whatever. The character designs are very Horny but the spritework is nice. Fluid, fun animations. The contrast between the high-end GBA style graphics and the very high-res character portraits during dialogue scenes is kinda jarring but if youāre going to pander to the male gaze donāt hold back, I guess. I liked the music, all very cheerful and bubbly, even for āspookyā areas.
Actually a pretty fun platformer, and a few things did get a chuckle out of me. I liked this one a hell of a lot more than the original, when I played that a while back. I donāt think anybody really needs to go out of their way to play it, though.
Oh it did hit one of my biggest pet peeves though, which is when platformers have small enemies placed at awkward heights that your main attacks canāt hit unless you do a short hop + attack. Thatās not challenging, man, thatās just annoying.

My Exercise is a cute little interactive art-toy thing, that may have some small secrets in it. God help you if youāre trying to take it easy on your hands/wrists though.
its gross because its directed by a creep who is eerily into young women
sorry im never going to stop shitting on this pervert now. i was talking to one of my friends who did contract pixel work for a shantae game and they said theyāve never felt so dirty

All the more reason for that to be my final foray into the series, then!

That puzzle game I was playing that was hilarious broken ended up being more broken than I anticipated as while I needed to complete 10 out of 20 puzzles in set two to unlock the third one, I did so for 17 of them and said third set is still locked with a -7 in the counter next to the padlock symbol. This is an awful bug that makes 75% of the game impossible to access, but it also gives me a guilt-free out so Iām cool with it.
(The game is Shn!p, I donāt like trashing tiny games but like maybe donāt try this one.)

I built the adapter, it works great with the Fanatec wheel with only a little bit of input configuration, and force feedback 100% works in Gran Turismo 4 
I cannot be stopped from continuing to play PlayStation 2 games no matter how much it angers Sony

Like @lonelyfrontier I am on a Resident Evil kick. I preordered Village and got 7, which Iāve never played. I first struggled my way through the RE7 demo to get the item for the full game and now Iām at the same point as @Iammadmak, about to get the third dog plaque. I really, really like it so far. Itās scary and it feels great to progress. The game keeps you on your toes.
I play 7 for about 2 hours at night and RE4 during the day. I never liked 4. I used to hate the controls, the cheesiness and vague sexism, the codex conversations, the camera perspective (you can never really see whatās on the ground), the constant switching to the knife to break boxes, etc etc, just way too much to mention. I never considered it the best Resident Evil or one of the best action games ever made, like so many people out there.
I do appreciate the influence it had on game developers. Some people really like it and the game certainly changed action games forever. Props for that.
This time around Iām just ignoring my old gripes and Iām enjoying the game and finding all the treasures and medallions. I didnāt remember that the first area youāre in, the village, is actually pretty open to exploration. I moved around and backtracked a lot to get everything. Iām now at the house defense part and I donāt know if I ever got that far myself or if I just saw it in a video. I think Iāll play through this.
Although I wish I had set the game to easy so I could just breeze through it because Iām really just playing it to catch up with the story. Iām not dying much but the enemies could stand taking a few less hits so the shooting would feel a bit betterā¦
Iām excited to play Revelations 1&2 because Iāve got no clue what theyāre like and theyāre supposed to be pretty good!
So yeah, Iām playing 4, Revelations, 5, Revelations 2, 6 (I played the first hour (of the Leon story?) of this previously and it ruled), while playing 7 at the same time and thereās no way Iāll be done with all of this by the time Village comes out. Thatās okay.
Diving back into this series makes me feel like it deserves even more respect than itās been getting. Truly one of the game series that shaped the medium.

Now that I think about it the only Resident Evil games I ever finished were 1, REmake and 0. I played through those many times though.

after hours of practice i finally got Master++ on Time Attack mode in Crimzon Clover World Ignition
itās kinda neat actually. all about managing your boost level by aura-grinding enemies and popping boost at the perfect time to ignore bullet patterns + max out your multiplier
