Expedition 33 has great graphics fidelity but it has amazing art direction too. When people said all Unreal games just feel the same … I like the art style they chose to give it their own feel.

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.
I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.
- Comment on "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot." 1 week ago:
I really liked Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and enjoyed the first two movies. The first one far more than the second though.
The second had what I felt were unnecessary linked to their prequels and it’s also what the worst parts of Craig’s Bond and Solo were as well.
I don’t think they embodied the spirit of Star Trek though, but I was hoping they could have worked those out.

I’m scared to hell of fixing it, but you’re probably right. It’s better to lose my phone to repairs than lose my data to a random individual!

Oh, the last one I took to the shop was my Pixel 7 with water damage. I traded it for a Pixel 10 now.

Yeah :/ my password manager and everything is accessible! I have no defenses!
The thing is my phone is already in a dire state by the time they get it. I can’t pre-emptively wipe my phone :(

Also, how come they need to unlock the phone to replace the battery … like, I guess they’re running diagnostics?
But like, can do that without getting access to bloody everything on my phone?

- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 2 weeks ago:
Seriously, I’ve had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.
I was like, oh … why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!
Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What’s funny is that when you’re entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it’s just one area you keep scratching it. However when it’s your whole body, you’re like … everywhere equally hurts so I don’t need to bother scratching. At least that’s what it was like for me.
Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P
Now whenever I get any bites … I just freak out and wonder if it’s bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

I mean, I wound up teaching my nephews when they were 4 … not sure what’s stopping him from doing it though.

Supposed to do the end game content for Expedition 33 but I’ll probably just be doing rounds of Megabonk.

I liked Korra too. I liked the aesthetics and call backs … they didn’t feel as “in your face”. It doesn’t have the majesty of the original series, but I liked it still!
- Comment on Here we go again... 3 weeks ago:
That’s fair.
I was mainly talking about the movie and netflix series.
I considered the original and series and Korra locked in together as they were made by the original creators and we were mainly talking about offshoots.

I dunno, not even old franchise but even with Avatar the Last Airbender … they keep trying to retell Aang’s story when they could do so many others stories within the universe and give nods to the original. Repeatedly doing the same storyline makes it feel smaller.

I can’t tell the diff in FPS performance. I wish I could.
When I got my PS5 and played some games I was like, wow the future is here! Turns out I was playing PS4 games. Also I turned on and off ray-tracing for SpiderMan and couldn’t tell either.

My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.

- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Tops 4.4 million sales - IGN 2 months ago:
I self-inflicted some pain like that for me as well.
I got close to the end of Act 2 and my friend said that the difficulty was too easy and I breezing pass everything and to switch it to Expert. Well guess what. I didn’t level, upgrade or put my Pictos in a way to deal with it. So most of my boss fights turned from a close-win into 45 minutes of me dying a lot. Like, I’d be one-shotted so often.
I then took some time and then cashed in some Lumina for stories and then actually put some strats in and went through the skill tree. I think it was worthwhile in the end but it totally changed the experience for me.
- Comment on Day 425 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
I really wanted to like the remakes.
Playing the FF7 remake felt really dated in terms of a lot of things. After playing God of War and others, the cinematics felt cheesy and less cohesive now in FF … I didn’t care for much of any of the voice acting. A lot of the side quests didn’t fit “in world” to me. The heck do I care about some lost kittens? Not sure what’s going on with the “ghosts”. I didn’t like the combat and found it annoying. Which is strange because I enjoyed FF15: The backstreet boys edition and even Guardians.
On the positives, I felt if I could take a screenshot of any part of the game and sent it back to the younger version of me … My mind would be blown. I’d just stop the game several times to just admire the scenery and the look.
spoilers!
Fighting Sephiroth so many times felt odd. I felt it feel off story-wise.
Everyone loves FF 7 remake and all that and I know I’m in minority but it put me off Rebirth. I’m happy other people enjoy it now though. I just wish I was one of them.

I’ll join you in the downvotes. There’s many reasons to hate YouTube. Asking them to pay for video content to everyone for free is a bit silly.
I’m also not saying you shouldn’t use alternatives or run an ad-blocker. Those are cool. I just find it funny how someone is saying: “I get some benefit in paying for this service” results in such backlash, lol.

However, I’m always more tired when I arrive there. Also, I’m not a fan of finding parking and stuff around the office.
