    Apparently Japan is ill-equipped for work-at-home compared to us too, or at least that's what the video game industry's been telling me

    Been playing OG FF7 while waiting for Remake to ship. There's a lot of Mario RPG in this that I didn't notice the first time I played it (some sound effects and kinda the background art style). I was just under 7 hours into the game and left Midgar... is this seriously where FF7 Remake ends? How many games are they planning this to be?

Took me 30 someodd hours all together. If this was cheaper, it'd be a really good game to check out for those on the fence about Xenoblade's playstyle, it's turbo-charged so you level up crazy fast and the party is restricted to 9 people (they're split up into teams of three, you control one team and the other two are handled by the AI), but probably not so good for getting a feel on Xenoblade 2's story since it's a prequel but also glosses over so much of the setting that the story probably doesn't make a lot of sense without the full game. Story-wise, it was mostly just there. It didn't tell us much that we didn't already know. There was cool cameos. The ending segment was really good and gave me a few feels. I would've ended the game at a different point to tie it into Xenoblade 2 more but that's just nitpicking. Had a good time, even with how expensive it was. I got the Season Pass version, just over $40, so not only did I get a 30 someodd hour game out of it, but extra quests and S-S-S-S-S-Swimsuit DLC necessitating another future playthrough of XB2, so it does actually feel worth it all things considered Got FF7 Remake shipping next week (or next-next week) so I'm trying to do a quick runthrough of OG FF7 on the PSP (no sidequests or things like that, just beating the game) so it's fresh.

Sonic still feels a little too slide-y, Super Sonic can be a boon or a curse, music's still awesome. Also quite hilariously earned 2 psnprofiles-grade Ultra Rare trophies from this game. For comparison's sake, of the 6 Metal Gear Solid games I 100%ed, I only earned three psnprofiles Ultra Rares

I hear people glowingly talk about how the game is about platforming and then it rewards you with speedier segments after you do them, but tbh I still find a lot of this game more frustrating than not. A lot of "GOTCHA" traps and pitfalls that you couldn't see coming, hitbox is a little too big or weirdly positioned. Green Hill Zone and Star Light Zone had it right, everything else is okay to annoying.

    Pirate or watch on DVR/PVR, then you can still watch their shit but not actually support them (I'm definitely down for Bray vs Braun)

    Aight, just caught up on like a week and a half of anime after playing MGSV way too much to finish it. My list this season looks like this: Pokemon 2019 (as always) One Piece (as always) Black Clover Sword Art Online - Alicization Season 2 (hasn't started yet) Fruits Basket Season 2 Digimon Adventures Gleipnir (What in the absolute fuck) Sing Yesterday For Me (I actually haven't watched the full first episode yet, but I kept skimming through to see if I should delete it and I kept seeing little things that made me not want to) Kakushigoto (this one's on the bubble... I think the joke is one-note but the overarching story is low-key feels) Also probably going to watch Kill La Kill with THA BOYS next, I've never seen it

    I finally have my Good Brothers back ;_; I listened to the new episodes of Talk'N'Shop and cried laughing because they found out Tiger King was buddies with a promoter they know, Gallows has been having an awesome time in the quarantine because he's rich now, and then they brought on Alex Koslov to talk about how his mom whipped him with a belt when he was a kid a few times.

    Wal-Mart here was doing online-order only (just found out today via a sign posted in their video game section), a few other local places I checked out online were pretty much doing the same. Also same with Amazon, sold out from them and the only new ones were inflated prices. Any online delivery to here estimates that it'll be here near the end of the month at the earliest, which is way after the hype's died down, so if I'm already waiting I'm just gonna wait for price drops

    Aw man. I just heard the first ep of Talk'N'Shop the other night, Guns and Gallows mentioned that Fink wasn't doing too well (Gallows would do a regular Fink impression and razzle Karl Anderson with it)

    Welp, looks like I can't get a physical version ASAP so I'mma just leave it until price drops later.

Side-ops are where all the fun is at, main missions and especially boss encounters sucked a lot of the fun out of the game. The story was starting to grow on me but then it wasted too much time before Konami cut them off (partly Kojima's fault too, so many main missions barely moved the story forward, shit like that should've been relegated to side-ops and the main story should've focused on important things only). My Peace Walker crew got a shitty deal in this game and I'm not happy with those story elements. Also, the ending... It's like a 9.5/10 video game but a 7/10 Metal Gear Solid game

    Guns and Gallows, EC3 and Rusev are finally fucking free, oh my god :') Shitty timing (and WWE obviously being corporate con-man about it as per usual), but so many of those people needed to get the fuck out of WWE as fast as possible to save their careers. Rusev especially should be and will be a main event guy anywhere else. As far as I understand it, Lance didn't close his school to take a WWE job so much as he always said he was going to close his school when his body couldn't take it anymore and/or his daughter was out of the house, which she is now, and the WWE job came up when he was doing shit in Impact. He'll probably wind up back in Impact behind the scenes whenever they get around to holding shows again if this isn't just temporary cost-cutting (I could see WWE re-hiring some of those people back when things are back to normal)
  23. Stats If you're under 50, there's not even a half of a percent chance of you passing away from it, and that's only if you're near-50. Conservatives and money-fucks are gonna be looking at things like that and doing the mental calculations that it's mostly retirees who are passing away, it's not like the Spanish Flu where it was killing prime workforce aged people in droves. Yep, but Conservatives care more about money than people sooooo
  24. Two schools of thought and I think both are right - We've mostly avoided it because social distancing is working - It's mostly going to kill old folks. Except for our medical systems being overwhelmed and not having enough places to store dead bodies that would be swamping the hospitals in the largest cities, society could be functioning normally through all of this Coming from a Conservative, it usually translates to "rich people are losing money, we're only going to lose poor people and old people so why aren't we sacrificing them so rich people can keep making money?!" Doesn't matter if he means it otherwise, that's how it gets read.

    The MGSV Platinum is within reach, then I'll have a full mainline set (I'm not gonna bother with MG Survive, and I will play Revengeance but I consider that a different style of game so I won't worry about the Platinum because I'm not as good at those kinds of games). I've got one easily completable Side-Op left that I'm leaving for last, two hard-mode missions that I shoooould be able to do, one Subsistence Mission that does worry me, and a bunch of mission tasks in regular missions that I ignored originally that should be a lot more doable with better equipment and buddies.
