I was like you. I didn’t finish RE1 for the FIRST time until like 2 or 3 years ago. I played the others, absolutely LOVED RE0 (it’s my favourite of all time, don’t judge) and really enjoyed RE2, 3, and Code Veronica on the DC. but I just couldn’t get through RE1.

what helped me was using a walk through. I also found the mansion confusing and got lost all the time. But using a walkthrough that didn’t have spoilers in it really helped and allowed me to enjoy the game a lot more. a lot less aimless backtracking as because of the walkthrough I knew where to go and many times later on I remembered stuff I needed to do and exactly where it was.

But even then if you still can’t stick with it don’t feel guilty or force yourself to. You already know the story, you know what happens, you know where all the lore from the first game leads to, etc. I forced myself in the past to play and finish games I felt like were a chore and I regret it. I mean I wasn’t a big fan of RE5 and 6 and I couldn’t finish them but that didn’t stop me from enjoying other games in the series. Hell I never finished Kingdom Hearts 2 but beat many of the other ones. I got insanely frustrated with the “dance water dance” guy and just stopped, never picked it up again and that was like 20 years ago.

my parents bought me a 56K modem in 97 for christmas. it was my ONLY christmas present that year.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SAG 2nd Gig which is….ok Yoko Kanno at this point this is cheating.

So instead I’ll say Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt. That thing made Jazz terrifying.

since…like…forever? Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Black Lagoon just off the top of my head from years ago.

this isn’t new. and Chainsmoker Cat does NOT glorify it. it’s a good reminder as to why I quit because when I was smoking and broke I did a lot of the same things she does.

New Mobile Report Gundam Wing

The series had more focus on the Drama as opposed to mecha and as a result a slightly cheaper budget (thus the reason the vast majority of mecha scenes are used over and over again) also the fact the teens CONSTANTLY try to blow up their own Gundams. As a result in Japan it was fairly popular with Women. Regardless it was still very popular overall in Japan to the point the studio asked the staff to make a sequel but the creators really had no intention. That being said the one show runner didn’t like how the series ended and thus we got Endless Waltz which also leaned into the popularity of the series with females which is why you get some of the Gundam redesigns.

Of course in the West the show was wildly popular and was the first real introduction of Gundam to a western audience. The show also kicked off the popularity of Gunpla in the west.

new linux rices incoming

as someone who smoked for years watching this hit close to home and made me not want to smoke. The first few episodes were like “yeah I’ve done that”. smoking butts, finding a “long one” and being thrilled about it. being broke and trying to make a pack last until next pay day only to smoke them all in a day. smoking one that had a bit of “slime” on it. It’s pathetic and indeed gross and i think that’s the whole point of the show. you can’t watch that and idolize the characters, they’re gross.

looking forward to this. also looking forward to what items/small side quest CDProjekt puts in the game. the small quest to get Davids jacket was good. Also finding Rebeccas shotgun was neat as was David’s drink at Afterlife.

saw the videos. hah, it’s pretty much the entire build.

the interesting thing is I don’t know if the dude is playing on a PC or a PS5 dev box cause it’s locked at like 30fps so…and if the guy has a PS5 dev box that raises even more questions.

I give kudos to people that know the WHOLE story and have played ALL the games. I tried and felt I had a grasp of it until I got to one point, can’t remember where, and I was like “wait…what’s happening?” and then it ends up I missed a game and sure enough it was the Japanese flip phone game that had a key element to the story. But like you said even after playing everything in many cases you still have to read online a write up someone made which on its own is usually like its own novel.

Kingdom Hearts lore makes Dark Souls lore look like a casual sunday stroll through the park.

and you KNOW this series is going to be pivotal to the overall lore of Kingdom Hearts just like EVERY thing else.

Don’t get me wrong I love Kingdom Hearts but man it’s hard to follow the story when like a piece of it is from a flip phone game in Japan from the early 00s that is pretty much impossible to play today.

it was so brutal at the end wasn’t it? like the constant backspacing was like “oh man that was me”

If you’re a Millennial I highly suggest the “Emily is Away” trilogy.

3 games that are extremely simple, but god damn do they make you feel like a teen/20 something again.

The first game, “Emily is Away” takes place in AOL IM. it’s a visual novel but it’s very good and allows you to set your avatar, etc just like you did with AOL IM. it’s brutal when it gets to the end. the Second game “Emily is Away Too” also takes place in AOL IM but is a bit more difficult as this time there are timing choicse. the third game “Emily is Away <3” takes place on the original Facebook IM. that one is even more difficult. so the difficulty between the games ramps up.

fantastic series. I have all three and I love them. honestly the first game made me cry at the end.

Fire Force. I got god damn hooked on that show a few years ago. And I’m someone who general just watches anime films, ovas, or limited series. favourites being Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and Second Gig, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, etc. so generally nothing that has multiple seasons.

So Fire Force really isn’t the type of anime I’m into. I’m not huge on the goofy fan service type of stuff that takes place over multiple seasons. hell I’ve never watched One Piece. But this show for whatever reason just hooked me. I had reminders set for when new episodes would come out. I can’t quite put my finger on why I liked it but I just did. It’s fun.

Other than that I don’t know how popular it is but Psycho Pass. that one is more up my ally. I enjoyed that and the theme song is a real banger.
