Troblems

I admit that two years of it wasn't exactly my focus, but I went through some shit. There's a reason I disappeared for a while.

One of my two favorites is no longer super obscure, because it's getting re-released today on the Switch. My copy is on its way. So my other favorite isn't obscure so much as a sequel to a sequel that was panned because it had a time limit. Final Fantasy 13-3 or Lightning Returns. The battle system was awesome, don't fucking @ me. It's a flawed game for sure, but it's certainly more engaging than a time traveling sister and interacting with a Jesus Christ knock off in the second.

I asked if you needed any help with MCM. I wasn’t added to any lists. It’s not my fault. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m still having a hard time with Say Goodbye to the Holiday. I know every word, but I cannot sing it to save my life. T_T

I tried in high school, but they couldn't find a vein. Now I'm ineligible because I've received blood. My husband donates in my place, because many people collectively saved my life with theirs, and he knows it's important to me, as it is to him.

When I go on international travel trips, a better seat. Sitting in economy is torture.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is getting a rerelease Friday, get friggen hype. I’ve been itching for this since the Switch was announced. It’s a strange crossover between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem, and it’s beautiful. You play as a blank slate to project yourself onto, while a cast of anime idols dazzle you with their tropey goodness. The game is flashy, and has so much style. It does away with the Persona time limits, and you get to faff around Tokyo as much as you like. Every single song with lyrics is a legit bop. Like for real, don’t expect to see me for a hot minute because I’m going to be busy playing this game. Now that doesn’t mean the game is perfect by any means. If you’ve heard of it, it’s probably because of the controversy surrounding the game. The first thing is the original release window: the end of the WiiU. The end of a cycle on an ill supported console. Next, the censorship outside Japan, and while it gave way to some classic memes, looking at you, vagina bones, we in the west were shafted. I wanted Maiko to be a gravure model. Now the final issue was that in the first trailer, there were characters from both franchises showcased, and then two years of silence, followed by singing and dancing Japanese idols. That’s going to lose a lot of people. All that said, when people actually sit down with the game, they generally tend to like it if they like JRPGs. It’s super engaging, there’s a lot of content, exploration is rewarded, and the dungeons all have to do with show business. They’re the same every time, but super charming. My biggest issues with the game are the main character being rather flat, a lot of fetch quests, my favorite character is added to the party last (may no longer be the case), and the censored version is now the world wide version. This isn’t an issue for me, but the character only speak Japanese, and are subbed. One of the coolest details about the game is when a character casts a spell, their cast animation is actually their signature. It’s just the level of detail you can look forward to in this game, and I hope my silly monologue encourages someone to purchase, because it’s one of my three favorite games.

I could care less about sportsball, but I do look forward to digging into the findings of the tech. Mark Rober did this exact thing about 6 months back, and while I'm not his biggest fan because of his vigilante-style "justice", I gotta respecc a NASA man. That being said, this won't be the last time this happens, and if the MLB wants to wise up, they should make secure communications for teams so that players, or anyone else for that matter, takes it upon themselves to do garbage like this. I'm sure it's happened before, it's just that these dunces were dumb enough to get caught.

My mom plays World of Warcraft. Badly. I love her deeply, and if she ever finds this post she'll be so very hurt, but uh, this ain't it. She's a druid healer, and the term carried by gear applies. My dad plays a lot of Left 4 Dead, but I'm not sure about his actual skill at it. He's my Steam friend, though.

If it’s easier for you we can move on to Randi. This is supposed to be fun, not stressful.
