it’s a game wherein Kaname Date, a constantly horny cyber cop with his AI anime lady partner who is also his eyeball (Listen, it’s a lot) solves crimes by going into people’s dreams and deriving important clues from their subconsciouses (Listen, it’s a lot.
Alright, you sold me on this game.
Also your understanding of God Eater is correct. I'd also add in it's a lot more repetitive than Monster Hunter. Doesn't help that the first 2 games are Rezzed up PSP ports either
If you go for the DQH's again, I don't recall the Puff-Puff thing being totally random (I recall there was a way you could basically dramatically your odds, don't recall what it was), but the game also doesn't keep track of which characters you've proc-ed with it or not. It definitely got tedious fast
but yeah look into it, I think I got most of them pretty much on my first or second try everytime
@sparky_buzzsaw Yeah it's a misfire for sure. I guess what bugs me is more the followup than the first tweet. As if mocking his speculated profession based off his appearance and them "not seeing it" somehow makes the snide remark more defensible.
The whole thing just comes across as punching down, and that's never good comedy in my eyes. Hopefully she realizes that and does better. I have to believe she will
You on other hand, I think did a beautiful job and got a lot of guts laying it all out there like that. Fwiw I've always felt you are one of the very nicest people on GB. I know that doesn't mean much necessarily when you yourself don't believe it, but I hope you can believe that I believe it.
Can't say I've got all my various problems solved or my love life in great shape, but I will tell you something that's made a fairly big difference in my life recently and that's losing weight (60 lbs and counting over the last 18 months). It's been amazing how much better I feel mentally after doing so. I expected the other benefits, but not how much clearer my thoughts seems to be. And oddly how much more positive it makes my outlook on life.
Took me a very long time to find something that worked and could actually stick to. For me it was a combo calorie restrictions (tracking on a phone app) and Intermittent Fasting. My diet's still terrible (I eat a lot of pizza) and I don't really exercise, but it surprisingly works. I've got 4 other friends roughly our age who have had similar results too, including one who is paralyzed from the waist down. I think also losing weight before you exercise is the right way to go, because as you lose weight your energy level picks up and movement becomes easier.
Another thing that I learned through this is just how much your body's weight swings wildly due to random amounts of water retention. So I find it's more helpful to look at weight based on weekly averages than any random mornings weigh in
Intermittent Fasting might be worth looking into if you haven't tried it. (ofc check with your primary care physician first to see if it's a good fit for you). There's a growing body of scientific evidence that shows IF really can be effective. I don't think it's some miracle cure, but what I think it does do in practice is it's easier to stay honest about not overeating if you stick to it without all the mental stress of calorie counting. I pretty much just eat two meals a day, and more or less myself eat what I want to in those two. It's a lot easier for me mentally to just do that, than try to micromanage calorie counts. I do count calories now, but at the beginning I was too overwhelmed to do that
Ofc eating healthier helps a ton too, I cut out all fast food and pretty much will only eat French fries once a month or so. But I didn't have to really do that until I lost 30Lbs or more. So you don't gotta be drastic to get a good start.
Won't claim it will solve even a significant portion of what you've been through or deal with. But every flood begins with one drop, every journey begins with the first step. Maybe that can help you some like it's been helping me some.
ah that makes total sense. I figured it couldn't have been the first, it just seemed so natural once I played it.
I probably played it wrong way, I just binged it in one go. It's probably best as something you peck away at. I bet it's wonderful on tablet
I hear ya man, it's definitely a 1st world gaming problem we all have. Pick up a zillion awesome sp games in a Steam sale, end up playing GAAS games 50%+ of the time instead haha
Ragnarok Online hunh? I wouldn't have guessed that one. What's the core of what that game does well in your opinion?
@bobafettjm: Thanks man! Yeah it helps to be playing some shorter stuff. One thing I've learned over the years of doing this is that game length is hugely related to the number of titles I can clear in a year. Which of course makes sense if you take a few minutes to think about it. But yeah probably no more hours into games than I normally do, just playing shorter duration stuff than last year. Still got an outside shot at clearing 52 games this years. ~5 a month is doable without burning myself out.
Course it'd be a lot easier if I stopped playing PUBG 3-4 nights a week haha.
I did like Glass Masquerade! I heard it mentioned on the What's Good Games podcast by Kristine Steimer and was curious about it.
My first thought was "why has no one ever tried to make a jigsaw puzzle videogame before?".After playing it, it seemed like such a natural thing to exist.
My guess is somebody has and I'm just unaware of it. But really it's quite shocking to me that I've never encountered one before now.
