Last year I was working at a different location, department. Boss's didn't care if they changed your schedule without telling you. They forced me to do over time. But they make me work 6 days every other week. Aligned in a way that it wasnt technically overtime. With how pay period works.

Some other employees Id see them change their days, and hours. And if you weren't aware of it. You'd be written up.

I mean she didn't make a timeless classic book series. She just so happened to make a book series that also was chosen to be produced into a children's movie series that generated over a billion dollars. And she See's a huge chunk of those profits. wherever they might come from.

She's already made her money. The lightning struck, and a gorgeous forest didn't sprout from it. This is only the affect of time. Anyone who thinks she has been punished other than miniscule amount of her vain glory. Is fooling themselves.

CountDog
03/28/23 2:01:28 AM

I enjoyed it. Something about the art style for 3. Was not doing it for me. Gave me comic book vibes all the time. After 40 hours I was done.

This game definitely was easy for me to sink into. Especially with the art. The story seems run of the mill. But I do enjoy some of the angelic religious texts, and bits loitered about to read.

The combat reminds me of a more refined 3. The boss's so far are way more fun to learn positioning, and dodging. Felt way more involved. I played a lot of D2 at a much younger age. And I remember mob controlling felt very important. Mob controlling seems much easier in these last two games. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'm totally fine with the direction the series is going. As long as there's no pay to win crap.

There's a disclaimer basically for every game ever sold saying that the game is being lent over to you. And that they have the rights to take the game away from you anytime they feel the need.

Basically the gaming industry is one big rental store. However rent is a one time fee, out side of subscription games. And they can take that item away from you anytime.

Environment was good. Shooting was Good. Graphics are great. Interesting to explore. Until you realize there nothing really interesting to find.

I wish Bethesda went back to their old hardcore DnD style of writing that Morrowind had. Even though Oblivion had some cool stories. It was still missing that technicality. Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4 didn't impress me with the writing. Fallout 3 did have it's moments though. Megaton being a great example.

He seems alright. He's too much of an actor for my taste. People make fun of his character. But that's just what it is, a character. I've very rarely seen his real self.

However I do enjoy some of his opinions on games, sometimes. When he wants to be, he can be rather observant.

I'm enjoying it the more I play it. The soundtrack is really good. The amount of work that went into the environment, and animations are insane. The game gives me a half-life, and Bioshock feel at times.

However, The English dialogue makes a lot of the story seem like a joke. You'll see a lot of reused assets. The combat isn't bad, enemies are a little Jank, as well the AI. I think the studio is only 130-150 people working it. Which is insane for the quality it was going for.

So far it's a 7.5 out of 10. Could be an 8, and or 9 the more I play. Will see.

Stores at this point have forced it. They could pay a more lovable wage. Higher more cashier's. Have biggers building for the grocery. And or consolidate enough to always have enough check stands running.
But we live in, for the most part. A self mutilating environment. And have accepted these roles. And when you decide not to. You must simply use more of your time, and efforts to push against the role that is a constant machine at the moment.

I revisited and beat Bioshock this last year. And while it was fun, story wasn't bad at all. The gameplay was not as interesting as I remembered.

Next I went to play Infinite. And immediately saw direct story comparisons. And was feeling bored quicky. The gameplay is simpler than Bioshock, and the characters to me were more fantastical. And the whole idea of some of the twists are really interesting. And could of made some very interesting turns. But never did.

Bioshock is like a girl that's committed to you, loves you. But sometimes has the urge to cheat. And does it once, and or twice in your life.

Bioshock Infinite is like a girl. That your aware cheats on their special other. Looks amazing, but also tells you how a relationship with each other could be something special.

MadMax can be fun, and is pretty solid. But the bases get very generic after a while. And the story is meh. However the car stuff, and combat is pretty awesome at times. Especially the car combat.
