    Yeah so I'm fucked.

    My life is sooooo fucked right now.

    Like check it.

    I haven't finished Nioh yet. I'm 50% done. I stopped not because I don't like it but because I got it into my head that I wanted to play through Windwaker HD before Breath of the Wild comes out.

    So now I'm like 50% done with Nioh. ~30-40% done with Windwaker. Maybe. Closer to 30%, I bet.

    Horizon shipped today (a day late) so that's arriving tomorrow.

    I get my Switch and Breath of the Wild on Friday.

    Hoboken St. Paddy's Day on Saturday.

    Nier: Automata I think next week.

    I haven't finished SMTxFE (Tokyo Mirage Sessions) yet and I want to finish that before Persona 5 comes out.

    Plus I have photoshoots coming up and I'd like to have some kind of social life.

    And also I ran out of bread and soda.

    Fuck.

    I thought you were, like

    Being hunted by the mob

    Based on the first couple lines of this post.

    DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPOTENCE OF WHAT I'M SAYING?

    that's not a typo, I'm saying I'm powerless to finish these games in a timely fashion

    Oh "TL DR" we were talking wood stoves a while back and this guy has really good prices on his that he makes. The smallest one is done with an ammo can that he rivet seals and the next one up could heat about 150 square feet and it's only $10 more.

    I think I'mma get the ammo can stove.

    https://www.etsy.com/shop/NorthWoodsMan

    That is pretty tempting!

    Yeah he's got really good reviews and it's not some big manufacturer.

    I figure the ammo can version could easily work in a hot tent and I've got a tent I could put a stove vent in if I wanted to try it in the winter but it would be a little cramped.

    I got this ordered today and it should be here in two weeks.

    I'm going to use it in a small fire pit for a weekend trip in three weeks.

    I don't get why people just never got on board with the xbox. It does have a lot of problems, I guess... and that fucking launch.

    BUT the Scorpio.................................!

    The launch scared people away pretty badly, which sucks because the media centric shit is legit cool, and tons of people are using the shit out of digital distribution right now on all platforms so...

    Really Microsoft just faceplanted on marketing, sony capitalized, and here we are.

    But, like all Microsoft consoles, the featureset keeps iterating and getting better. Since I am rarely a "day and date" game player any more, then 10 bucks a month for local non-streaming access to 100 games thing really speaks to me. If they manage to get things like DOOM that I missed when they were new and shiny but are available 9-12 months later on the service? My annual game budget shrinks way down and I still get to play a bunch of cool stuff.

    I'm finally reaping the rewards of my Bloodborne-box this month.

    You playing Horizon? I put a few hours in this morning, it's very good!

    I have it, but I need to beat Nioh and GWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    Can

    Can you beat Gwent

    That was not my understanding of the nature of that particular vidja

    No, Gwent has derailed all of my precious plans to get through my backlog of delicious games. It has ruined my life and completed my soul.

    You have a soul?

    Yes, and it is beating the fuck out of people in a virtual card game by summoning monsters.

    apropos of nothing but I dreamed last night we hung out

    For the record this is the first [chat] Dream I've had.

    Maybe I should take a break

    What did we do? I'm a fun person.

    We did some D&D but actually wore real armor and weapons and fought other people to the death. Then I tried to get a zit on my nose and after it wouldn't stop bleeding so I missed going to a SF Giants baseball game in Austin with you and your GF.

    huh that sounds pretty great except we don't have a pro baseball team here

    Yeah I was confused by that bit.

    Oh I do that too; I have a massive library at this point.

    But getting really rad titles on that program that are less than two years old is rare. Meanwhile Halo 5 is in the 10 bucks a month club thing.


    edit: also sports games - Like, I don't think I want to pay 60 bucks for s sports game ever again, but if I could play a season of basketball as part of my monthly subscription I would do it.

    I am pleased to see a nintendo console with some legitimately good marketing and design

    the logo, the click noise, the name? it all comes together

    Honestly I think Nioh peaks in the first two areas

    It's just pretty much the same after that. Good solid combat and level design, but basically the same enemies and obstacles for another 20 hours or something.

    I hear the later bosses get harder and weirder but haven't seen it yet.

    They also had some PR issues.

    Like this response was borne, in my opinion, out of frustration. And even if a legit fair response, it was a bunch of horseshit from a PR perspective:

    I mean, if I were a developer on the various mobile app stores that have made some really deep and rewarding games that work with classic controls (there are a fair number), or a steam darling of the PC space who built around controller inputs, I would be burning the midnight oil to get my shit on the switch ASAP to fill the vacuum. There will be a ton of console / casual folks who never grabbed a humble bundle before who will want things to do on this machine when they tire of zelda.

    The asides with each minor character that you meet are pretty good, but yeah... the overarching plot line is "ahahahaha, *teleport*" repeatedly.
