Playing far to much Yakuza for my own good. In the last 6ish months I've finished 0, Kiwami 1, Ishin, and 6, and am working on Kiwami 2 right now.

Going to Spiderman tonight with a friend. Should be good. Roommate should be earning decent money starting next week so hopefully she will be able to start paying rent (Just having her here without rent is great for my mental health).
Also another friend is gonna help me figure out how to take better care of my great grandfathers 1900ish foot Artillery sword.

Popping my head back in on the 20th anniversary.
Got deep into Gunpla (plastic gundam model kits). Working for a logistics company in the midwest and once again single. There's a whole giant story there.

I think I've done pretty good overall with the interview interally. Sounds like something I'd be good at so here's hoping. Below is the new cat.

The cats are integrating well. Other than that I'm testing out if I want an inside sales role at my current company.

Just like Fallout 3 was Oblivion with guns, I expect Starfield to be like Fallout 4 in space.
I think it's more Skyrim in SPAAAAACE!

Here is the full 15 minutes Starfield gameplay video I mentioned earlier, I am have not sure if you have watched the whole video including Todds comments? Watch it now if you havent and then tell me if your expectations are still low?
I saw the reveal and videos as they were shown at the showcase. The thing is that everything I've seen is that this is going to be, at best, a theme park where you go and build a ship, build an outpost, have a small combat bit, but it's more about wandering aimlessly through the wilderness in hopes of finding something. They are selling this on 1000 planets, and 4 cities. It's gonna be a mediocre shooter. I mean, it says something that standard Bethesda Face hasn't been fixed since Oblivion (that I can recall anyway).

This is two weeks old now, but I got a kitten. Her name is Anastasia and she's about 8 weeks old. Currently my life is filled with trying to keep her and the older boy (Octavian) happy.

My expectations for starfield are rather low. The fact that they have the exact same conversation interface that they came out with 15-20 years ago (complete with the frozen, staring you down face) doesn't make me think that it's going to be a good core experiance until after you've waited a year and a half and have had a small heap of talented non-payed modders put things together.
Other news I haven't seen mentioned. Overwatch 2, the release of this game will effectively deactivate OW1 completely meaning you have to swap to OW 2
And that dude who took down a bunch of Destiny 2 content via false DMCA claims has been sued for over 7 million dollars.

Starfall looks exactly like A bethesda RPG, just bigger. Especially with the "I'm going to lock eyes with you, and never look away" conversation.
The one I'm really interested in is the Wu Dynasty game where you play a mook in the Three Kingdoms armies with all the extra fantastic mythology stuff.

Working sundays is always interesting. Had a Cop in my companies other lot, just there to catch speeders (He said after having sped past said cop in his black mustang). Other than that my role is being expanded just a touch to include tracking (which is basically "Hey driver, where are you?")

Came into work and had to wait almost two hours before i could actually start because they were doing a computer systems update that took the network down. It's back now, but I'm trapped in my office because they also hired a guy to polish the floors outside my office.

My coworkers continue to impress me, in one day they managed to do more damage to the vehicles than I've done in 6 years here. Christ, the repairman spends more time fixing out three vehicles than the 100+ other vehicles that he services...
This reminds me of getting a call at my office (I work at a warehouse and am the guy who says "Get your ass to door X" to the truckers who come in) from one of the drivers being loaded who proceeds to go "Uh, you might want to get out here, the guy two doors down from me hit the trailer on one side of him... and there's the other side."
The boss sighed and went out to look at it when I informed him.

I've basically made a promise to myself that I won't really play this until the Blood for the Blood God dlc is out, mostly because Khorne seems like the most me faction, and it feels wrong to play Khorne until that dlc is out.
I know Kislev's entire schtick is everything has two roles, but it makes me frustrated when I'm trying to fight and my entire army plays like archers because I didn't hit a certain button.

Just to defend my forum cred:
I challenge you with being the one to have created the original version of this thread >.> Back when Infinity Ward split for Modern Warfare 2

I mean, it worked for Netflix didn't it? I mean I realize that there needs to be something like this at a certain level otherwise you get flack from different corners for not including certain race/creeds/genders/etc. If nothing else at least it acts as a basic "we ain't doin all white dudes again are we?"

Had a raucous storm come through on weds. Turns out the GFI that I had attached to my sump pump decided it no longer liked it's life, and died. Noticed this when I went downstairs at about 10 or 11 and found a good six inches of water on the floor. Took two days to get various pumps in place and drained it. All in all (if my math is correct) about 1000 gallons of water was down there. Now my de-humidifier is working over time to finish getting the last bits of h20 out of the region.

Except Reno 911. That is a documentary.
And Brooklyn 99 (actually one of the reasons they stopped making shows was because they got nervous about the portrayal of Police in the media post George Floyd).
The thing that struck me on Cops! (when it was on network tv not Fox Nation) was that they'd start a traffic stop in early afternoon, and by the time everything is said and done there's 15 cops and it's pitch black outside.

This is old, but on the tubes of You. There's a channel called DangerTV that has a bunch of old border shows. The one I've been watching is called CustomsUK where it's about people coming through customs, it's BBC. Although the channel also has probably the most hilariously dramatized show I've ever seen... Canadian Border Security. It's a show about people crossing into Canada, but it's got all the drama of american reality tv... with absolutely no stakes.

Been working my way through Gundams, Finished Seed, just started 00. I know why Seed is disliked, I still like the mech designs and the fight between the Strike and Aegis is honestly one of the best done I've ever seen. Honestly this is the first time I've seen 00 with the dub. I saw it originally with the subs so, it'll be unique.
As to the worst and most bonkers anime I've tried to watch, Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Stone. It's... unique.

Spent my birthday (apr20) back in California with the family. Otherwise been working and doing my model kits (Gunpla). Hardcore therapy is almost over, and I'll move to a different track which will be helpful.

Been debating plugging in Nioh/Nioh2 for the PS5 after watching way to much Elden Ring streamers. I will say that I love the art style but wish there was something slightly more coherent from the storyline in those Fromsoft games.
I mean, the only Souls style game I could get into was Jedi Fallen Order.

That's pretty much every open world game I ever tried. Dragon Age: Inquisition's Hinterlands was already too large.
One of the things I've heard said about the Souls games, and other open world games, is that sense of "holy crap" when you see a cathedral on the far side of the world, and a few hours later you're fighting bad guys in that cathedral.
Personally I think things have gotten almost to open world, where plot points are basically ignored because you decided to wander off and fight rats in the sewer for five levels. This is most obvious in Cyperpunk.
Still playing Super Robot Wars 30. Am debating trying Souls games again, I just hate that sense of banging my head into a wall, I get enough of it from Raiding in WoW.

More in general, but I've gotten into Gunpla. I would attach photos but I don't know how in this new system.
