Now the question is whether catgirls have four ears or six.

At least it asked politely.

Thank you so much for writing these posts! Don’t worry about slowing down a bit, I’m way more interested in quality instead of them just devolving into a boring streak of daily screenshots, and most importantly, it’s supposed to be fun for you in the first place! It shouldn’t feel like a job! You can’t write good reviews of games if you are not enjoying playing them in the first place, or you’re prevented from fully enjoying them by the rush of finding a new title for tomorrow’s post.

As for this one in particular, I’ve had it in my wishlist for quite a while. I’ve enjoyed most of Dontnod’s games and this one seems quite peculiar indeed. I heard a few divisive opinions on it, but you convinced me to give it a fair try.

I’m not a US citizen, but happy veteran day!

Luz could just give Bean the other sock, but she enjoys looking at it vibing.

If the last few years have taught me anything, it’s that what you do is not important as much as the narrative that you are able to spin.

As long as TV news networks, podcasters, news outlets, and Musk’s Twitter exist, people who are too ignorant to understand they are being lied to, or too lazy to parse credible information, will stay in the dark and vote red in the next election as well.
Democracy doesn’t work when the electorate is too illiterate to cast their vote justly. They’ll just vote for the next clown who promises them the moon.

I don’t have a solution.

I mean, if I had Shad in front of me, I would also throw him into the river.

Isn’t it the same as with every other entertainment system? I grew up with a big brother and a little sister. We only had one PS1, later one X360. We could either play in co-op, or take turns. Sometimes my father would also play on the console, and we’d do something else in the meantime.

What’s different about the Switch? It’s an entertainment system. You insert the game, you play. I don’t have one, but I’m pretty sure it allows for different accounts to be created and each have their own save file, so there’s no need to buy multiple consoles/multiple copies of the same game. You can either play on the go, or hook it to the TV and play with the bigger screen. You are not forced to play party games just because you have a bigger screen, and you are not forced to treat it like a “personal device” just because you are playing on the smaller screen (I also despise the idea of “personal device” for kids: learning to share games is a very important lesson for kids).

You know the times are dire when you find yourself rooting for Moscow Mitch.

Whops, I forgot to hit send on this one, so I’m writing this comment a tad bit late.

In DnD, helping others is limited to the Help action, which nobody takes because it’s such a waste of an action. I wanted something to spice things up, something that made players feel like they were a tight group helping each other out instead of a band of mercenaries covering different grounds.

To do so, I looked at XCrawl’s Mojo system, which this variant Inspiration is heavily based on. As with the original, it’s designed as an incentive for bonding and roleplay, hence why you can only spend Inspiration on other players’rolls.

To simplify things, I did away with earning additional Mojo/Inspiration points and losing Mojo/Inspiration on a nat1: instead, the players have a single Inspiration point every day, that they can spend to help other players in a clutch.

The “no beggars” limitation is also lifted wholesale from XCrawl. I really like it because it awards players for staying alert during their fellow party members’s turn.

Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.

Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour’s house.

Watergate was such a big scandal that Nixon gave up before the impeachment procedure had even began, and it left such a big mark that we still talk about it so many decades later.

Trump was involved in many, many more scandals of far greater magnitude, and yet he won the majority of votes.

What the fuck happened during the last 50 years?

There’s no excuse this time around. People know exactly who Trump is, and they have voted for him a second time.

I don’t have much to say. I feel a mix of anger and disappointment.

Hopefully the Dems will be able to pick someone better to lead the party four years from now… I wonder what the world will look like four years from now.

To be fair, I was talking specifically about the Republican period (1946 and later). As much as I despise our current government, Meloni is not Mussolini yet. We’re slowly getting there, though, and I’ve never seen so many fascism sympathizers in the open (including in the government).

Our scholastic system has failed us.

Yeah, I’m Italian and I guarantee that we would not (unfortunately) vote for Harris. We have just elected our farthest-to-the-right government ever, and far right politicians have been popular here for a few decades, now.

I really wish this graph was true, though. I need at least one reason to be proud of my country.

I’m pretty sure they were doing that already.

Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I’ll die happy.

No spoilers, Vee!

Thank you for putting so much effort into these posts. I rarely comment but I always read them. It feels like reading an informal short review of a random game every day, like having a friend telling me what they played the day before. Sometimes I even add the game to my wishlist.
