    So Control is quite good but not the jaw dropping brilliance I had been led to expect. Still, early days.

    I for one would like to stop seeing Rudy Giuliani's face everywhere, especially when it's got gross stuff running down the side.

    It gets better and better the later the game gets but it is definitely flawed. The plot and enemy variety both kinda sputter out, but I haven’t gotten to the dlc yet

    The gameplay is honestly pretty bog-standard throughout, the major value of the game is its setting and aesthetics.

    Mostly agreed but maxing out the throw ability makes everything more fun

    Yeah the guns suck

    It did not feel good to spend a full clip machine gunning something and then have to reload just to actually finish it off

    Meanwhile you can just pull up the fucking pavement and throw it at a dude to kill him and the dude behind him

    RDR2 has chores in it

    Not, like, “oh these side quests are goddamn tedious” chores

    Well yes those too

    But actual chores. Feeding horses. Cleaning a kitchen. Chopping wood.

    I should finally play RDR2. I never really sunk into it.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    I think I need to look around for better options than netflix for watching stuff. Trying to watch into the spider-verse was kind of turned into an ordeal because netflix is shit.

    any other services that aren't so bad about quality? Something where I actually have control over it, preferably.

    torrents

    but that's immoral and illegal


    ...and the popups on piratebay proxies are getting really annoying

    I wish RDR2 wasn't a prequel because it really looks like a game I would haven't gotten down with.

    But now there's also so many great games coming out that I don't have to worry about filling time for a awhile.

    I played SO MUCH vidya this long weekend.

    I finished Yakuza 7 (which was ~80 hours from 10th to the 27th jeez), played through all of Miles Morales to 100% and started up Valhalla which i was able to put 10 hours into(and only just finished the prologue and got the title screen..).

    The fact that there are folks out there who manage to put in this much time on the regular makes me quite jelly. It's been nice.

    I just walked into my living room and spent a few minutes trying to locate a weird smell

    Turns out it's been so long since I've had to do laundry I had forgotten what it smelled like

    I finally platted Ghost of Tsushima and have put it to bed, I found it really unsatisfying to look up a hidden trophy that seemed impossible to guess at. I wonder if such things are typical? I never chase achievements or trophies and I dislike this one a lot.
    You have to acquire and equip some garish armor combination referencing Sly Cooper in some way and it seems totally random to me, no clue how you'd discover it

    @Evil Multifarious I finished _the mere wife_ by maria dahvana headley and it was pretty good

    the story's mainly focused on grendel's mom and a mom from the heorot mead hall (the king's wife wealhtheow)

    this bit from the very start sets the tone I think:
    SELECTED TRANSLATIONS

    AGLÆCA (Old English, noun, masculine): fighter, warrior, hero

    AGLÆCA-WIF (Old English, noun, feminine): wretch, monster, hell-bride, hag

    at the end of the book I felt like the author was kinda retreading some areas she'd already covered enough earlier and slowing things down, but that's really my only gripe

    also probably it'd be enhanced with more beowulf familiarity (it took me until I was like 40% of the way through the book to be like oh yeah okay, this character is beowulf but I'm sure you'd be more astute)

    also look at maria's bitchin author photo:

    Out of curiosity, why does it being a prequel matter?

    can you feel the struggle within?

    I keep getting ads for a wheel you roll your back on, to crack it and massage the muscles

    This seems like a way to charge more for foam rollers, but all the ads are just videos of people loudly cracking their backs in various idyllic natural settings, and I'm like, can I just get a playlist of these back-cracking videos

    In that case, why not just go see a physical therapist?
