Beat the ‘end boss’ and got a bad end so not the real boss of Bunny Must Die, probably. Got 48 percent item collection. Do not feel like going back to get all the stuff. Giving this game C-

Finished playing Stray Children. I think it’s overall pretty good, and some of the puzzles were decent, but I wasn’t a fan of the puzzle design for the boss Olders. Most of them seemed pretty arbitrary, and I ended up just looking up a guide for most of them because otherwise trying to do it through trial and error just feels like it takes forever. Some of the scenarios were pretty amusing, like the town of angel kids who are all busily running around doing various tasks to try to gain EXP

I read that a lot of olders puzzles are screwed up by the translation, but even then I’d agree it feels very trial and error. It’s also so easy to screw yourself out of being able to get all of them. I really liked it, but it’s definitely a game I think was carried by its atmosphere and visuals.

Yeah thankfully you don’t need to save all the olders to get the proper ending. I think if I was a completionist, this game would drive me nuts.

I was really concerned I was gonna get a bad ending so it was a huge relief that it was fine

Three hours in, beat Falkner in Pokemon Heart Gold. I should not still be playing Pokemon but I am still playing Pokemon. Team is a level 10 geodude, a level 10 totodile, a level 10 sentret, and a level 13 hoothoot. The hoothoot is a beast for the unexpected reason of hypnosis plus status effects on enemy while asleep. The geodude makes a natural revive sponge. Totodile is fine but I am trying to use weirder pokemon and more serious strategies so I may actually drop my starter for the first time in any playthrough. Sentret is second weakest.

Mouthwashing. Some great body horror here. Story was take it or leave it but atmosphere was perfect along with play length for this sort of game and visuals.

Yeah, there is this overwhelming feeling of going round and round in circles sometimes, especially when dealing with the bosses.
I definitely found it frustrating too, particularly at the start, but I think over time began to find it kinda interesting in how closely it maps onto the experience of trying to talk an older person down from some kind of self-defeating worldview they’ve internalised over the years.
I think the fact that the game doesn’t punish you for choosing not to engage with these mental battles is both a relief and sorta telling… maybe it shouldn’t always be the responsibility of younger generations to take on the emotional labour of bringing older generations up to speed on things or guiding them out of whatever psychological cul-de-sac they’ve built for themselves and others to die inside of…
like perhaps sometimes a well-timed shovel to the head is just as valid:

Swept Bugsy with a Geodude. He had the worst strategy I’ve ever seen from a gym leader: start with scyther, focus energy to u turn to metapod. Metapod kept using tackle, and only tackle, letting my geodude max out speed and defense buffs and then heal. Then it was just rock slide three times.
Edit: Togepi can learn flash so I guess my second to last pokemon is Togepi, condolences to me for having to beat the game with a Normal, Normal/flying, Water, Water, Rock, Normal, Normal/flying team
EditEdit: Wait, Mantine is water/flying.

While I think many things about Beyond are too funny, the quote from human monster David Cage about, “I didn’t want to make a game for gamers. I wanted to make a game for everyone.” When it starts with a naked crying woman who says “let’s start at the beginning.” Then it goes to the middle where she is arrested for reasons you don’t know and continues to be told out of order because if the story was sequential you might be able to get your footing.
@boojiboy7 has my special copy that will freeze about 90 minutes in. Page just stuck in the rain, frozen as the rain falls around.

Some of the most fun you can have with Quantic Dream is to do nothing
Also I just remembered this is the game that inadvertently revealed what dresses Cage considers sexy
Sexy — a tight white blouse and blue jeans
Elegant — a slinky red dress
Cool — a black and red shirt with ripped sleeves and skinny jeans

I tried increpare’s new egg platformer Oeuf and… well I think it is good as a game player to try things sometimes but it’s also good to recognize when something is gonna cause your more stress than it’s worth and to know when to eject. Got to a part (believe called Side Gate) where I just kept going forever trying to even figure out how to advance forward including going halfway down and back up a tree(?), eventually found the way forward, got through a bunch of different challenges without finding a checkpoint, eventually missed one out of dozens and dozens of jumps and got sent back 20-25 minutes and… I didn’t want to go and do all that over again, realized the game was gonna likely keep being like that and just stopped. Uninstalled the game, saw I put only an hour in so asked for like my second Steam refund ever, felt a sense of calm that I wouldn’t have to go through that again.
Still love you increpare, I’m sure there are some here who will dig the experience but I already gotta take blood pressure medication, don’t need my dose upped >_>
