    Is respect earned??

    I used to believe that there was at least a baseline sense of decency, and only that when someone feels superior and that they are thus owed respect that they don’t really deserve any. But these days I find it is apparently impossible for anyone to go out of their way to not speed down the...

    Dreams thread.

    I had a very brief dream of my boss ripping up an important notebook I have at my job. Not much else to it, figure it’s me dealing with my frustrations with it recently in spite of me doing really well with it.

    Are you a note taker?

    I’ve tried with where I’m working now but to be honest all it really seems to do is jumble me up when trying to keep up, especially knowing I won’t likely even have the time to go over the notes anyway. I find it far easier to just pay attention to begin with and commit stuff to memory.

    Have you ever gotten out of gaming?

    I don’t necessarily game every day now, really just because of work or other priorities, but still more than your average person I’d guess. I didn’t do much at all during a point in my life where I suffered severe depression, but I don’t really count that because it had little to do with why I...

    Rate the Last Game That You Played

    Finished the new Kirby on Switch…at 91%. Not sure whether I want to go back for the collectibles I missed, maybe if there’s DLC at some point, but I’m all Kirby’d out. I don’t understand the complaints that it’s short if you get everything…seems to be about regular length for these games...

    Creepiest game over in any game you’ve played

    I forgot about MP2 being kinda disturbing back when I was younger. Same for some of the Donkey Kong Country ones…a bit silly looking back on them but there’s just something that’s off about them. Not a whole lot these days that isn’t something particularly horror adjacent…maybe in Metal Gear...

    Elden Ring

    Elden Ring uses its huge cliffs to block off entire areas in what is supposed to be an open world game. After being able to scale most any cliff in BotW, anything else is simply regression. Never mind ER’s incredibly inconsistent fall damage and wonky horse platforming making any cliff side a...

    Expectations on bosses

    The use of the same item you find in their specific dungeon tend to make figuring out the bosses way too easy, not to mention too rigid and really not dynamic at all. As soon as you know that ghoma doesn’t like slingshots, the fight is basically over before it starts.

    Elden Ring

    I mean, Elden Ring is really not that great compared to it, so…nah. BotW is superior in traversal, level design, soundtrack, exploration, progression, I might even argue story if neither were so bland with their plots. Having more interesting sidequests is one thing, but it doesn’t help much...

    Elden Ring

    I’ve been enjoying it more than I thought I would. Not so great start, partially being that I got a new laptop and am not used to finangling with pc settings, then also the stuttering issues that seemed apparent across the board. But now it seems to run pretty consistently well. As far as the...

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    So instead of working on my game project I made an impulse buy and got myself Blue Reflection: Second Light on Switch to have something more or less valentines “themed” to play. I don’t even know whether it’s recommended I should play the first one, or whether it’s on the Switch, but so far I...

    Weird things you've done/seen done

    There’s probably much weirder stuff I’ve both done and seen, but this particular one stands out to me that in retrospect should have been really obvious to me. So I used to work maintenance in retail for a few years. Every Sunday at this one store, it would be me on the floor, the one cashier...

    Which Fantastical Character Do You Hate Most?

    Martin Keamy from Lost is one that comes to mind as a character you’re meant to hate. Even so, given some interviews and some hints on the show itself, it seems at one point even he might have gotten his own flashbacks explaining why he was that way. As far as poorly written ones go, there...

    Sony Sony Acquires Bungie

    Meh. It seems a lot of the talent left Bungie before they went independent and made Destiny. Wasn’t a big fan of that game. All this coupled with the fact they will still be multi platform, I just don’t understand this move.

    Nintendo Nintendo Issues Numerous Copyright Blocks to GilvaSunner's Channel, Prompting the Channel's Deletion

    Leave it to the likes of Nintendo and Disney to make copyright worse for everyone. They both blatantly ignore their own IP until it comes time to lose them to public domain and then bend laws to milk money out of them. Laws should be getting more lenient for the general public as time goes on...

    Canon so terrible you pretended it never happened

    Honestly I can’t think of much…maybe only a few things here or there. I know I really am not fond of the “official” Zelda timeline, especially when it’s been stated in said book that it’s not really set in stone and they want to leave interpretation up to fans. Hastily thrown together...

    Which Song Are You Currently Listening To?

    I'm not typically a fan of rap, but this Demondice person I found some months ago has been pretty good. Was afraid I was too late to the party and that I'd never see new stuff from them, but it seems they've got back from a long hiatus today.

    First game that impressed you graphically

    I started gaming on the SNES with Super Mario World, eventually played other stuff like the Donkey Kong Country games, Street Fighter 2, Killer Instinct, Beavis and Butthead, Uniracers. N64 came along, and it was cool it was all in 3D with my first being DK64(and eventually Kirby, Smash, OoT...

    Expectations on bosses

    What do you all want the bosses to be like in BotW2? For me, bosses in the first game were a bit of a mixed bag…not even going into the mini bosses around the overworld - though to be honest I feel like some had potential to be pretty good, could have just used far more variety. The theming is...

    Legends: Arceus Discussion

    I personally think it’s not a good direction at all to just make catching a ton of the same Pokémon a grind, all while making that the only thing you do and not actually having to go into battle to do it. I’d much rather have it be far more engaging to catch one of a particular type and have to...

    Best-Looking Console

    GameCube is good, wish I could have got a silver one. But I think my favorite overall was the Wii with just how simplistic and sleek it was with the angled stand and the blue light. As far as handhelds go, I like how shiny the GBA SP and the original DSs are. That all said, the Vectrex did...

    Legends: Arceus Discussion

    Man, I shouldn’t even bother, as there’s nothing productive about just saying I don’t like something, but I really feel the need to lament a series straying even further from what I’d like. The first two gens and their remakes were amazing. R/S was the first to disappoint with its dumb plot and...

    Bloody’s gallery

    so it's been a bit longer than I realized since I last picked up a pencil. Don't wanna say it's from lack of motivation or anything, just so busy between other hobbies and work unfortunately. Hopefully next weekend I can get at least a couple ideas down on paper. In the meantime I thought I'd...

    What is your favorite non-Master Sword blade?

    There seems to be more to it than I remembered but this should have everything. A lot of it isn’t too bad, but the real trouble comes in getting an enemy to be in exactly the right spot to jump over as Wolf Link which is really aggravating. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TCt1gsJseLE

    What is your favorite non-Master Sword blade?

    I’m gonna go with the wooden mop overall but I can think of maybe a couple others. I’d also say I always found it odd that a wooden sword was ever a thing, but it’s kinda neat. I did a wooden sword run through TP once, which required a very difficult glitch to pull off, I really should have...

    What is the one thing (or more) you did that makes you proud?

    There’s not a ton of them, and tbh looking back I think some are not so great, but I do have some art I was pretty proud of achieving at the time. Beyond that, well, it’s hard to say really. I could say I’m proud of keeping to most jobs I’ve had for longer than a year at least, but that’s not...

    Breath of the Wild Do you love or hate Revali? And why?

    To be honest I wasn’t really fond of any of the champions and feel like many characters like the sages in OoT or WW at least had a little more depth to them. Also just not a fan of the Rito redesign in general. But I’ve yet to finish Age of Calamity so maybe they were given a bit more...

    Breath of the Wild why is tingle not in botw?

    I believe that was Purlo, the guy who ran the star game in Castle town. Anyway, seems like Beedle has been able to stick around a bit longer than Tingle for whatever reason. If you’re American, I’m pretty sure the last time we’ve actually seen him might have been Minish Cap…well, aside from...

    Microsoft Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard

    Meh, monopoly shmopoly. Now I’ve had more time on it, I think it’s a good thing for Sony to learn some humility. And Nintendo will likely never be made irrelevant due to them being extremely successful with their own unique consoles and strong first party lineup.

    The Grandmaster Galaxy Effect

    I enjoy having optional challenges, even if a lot of the time I don’t end up doing them. It just means that there’s always something for me to go back to, especially if the base game is too easy. The only thing I dislike is when the balance between these is skewed in favor of the optional...

    Video Game Quotes

    I’m gonna go with pretty much most of what your average friendlies and moons say in the EDF games(though most memorable are from 2017) and God Hand. Been watching someone play this old Shadow of Destiny game and there’s a lot of gold there but it’s more due to the bad voice acting. Not any one...

    Had a dream last night where I was either living in or visiting some sort of southern US not-quite-marshland with some big fancy house and lots of weeping willows. It was sort of sunsety, dusk. There was a river or maybe a lake I was looking out upon, and someone explained to me about one tree...

    Hyrule Warriors Is this canon or not?

    I don’t really get the whole spin-offs shouldn’t be canon thing. Each of the Four Swords games are canon and they are not quite traditional, so why not AoC? If the utterly absurd downfall nonsense is allowed, I think it’s only fair to be able to use this game as another branch for Nintendo to...

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    With the next Kirby coming end of March I thought I’d go ahead and replay the last one, Star Allies. Always see it getting a bad wrap and I just couldn’t remember it being bad. Short, maybe, but by no means bad. Upon replaying it, I still feel the same way about it. Perhaps the only thing is...

    Nintendo Who is THE most annoying minion/boss/enemy in any Nintendo game ever?

    Seahats and the Big Octo in WW terrified me when I was younger. Same for Redeads, Gibdos in MM as well. These days as far as Nintendo games specifically, BotW’s Octoroks were already mentioned, and I’d have to add some certain Lizalfos and Wizrobes, more due to their locations than anything...

    Elden Ring

    I’m one of few who would prefer Fromsoft do something a bit different. I mean, if it’s going to be this close to Dark Souls, why not just say it’s the fourth one? Still looks good enough that I want to get it, but I enjoyed the settings and stories much more in both Bloodborne and Sekiro, and...
