Ah yes, the real reason Republicans are against student loan forgiveness: it doesn't help poor people enough.

lmao

Pretty sure that was the schtick of the villain in Tomorrow Never Dies.

The right belongs to the people, as expressed through elections. So if the people who elected George H.W. Bush, who appointed Clarence Thomas - that is, Republicans - have no problem with this, then that is within their rights.

So by that logic corruption can't exist in a democracy because people are elected?
Well that's certainly a take.

-No lead is safe
-Doesn't know how to use timeouts
-Looks dumbfounded 95% of every game

Has anyone ever seen coach Bud and Mike McCarthy in the same room? Starting to think we might have some Scooby Doo hijinks going on.

2. Beat a game released between 1993-2002

Super Mario 64 - First time every playing past the first level or two.

9/52

Probably my monitor, I'm a sucker for a good display.

Doom

Just swap apartment numbers with your neighbor and you should be good to go.

You do realize the people passing these laws aren't doing them because they care about sports, right?

Was going to grab Crystal and Bank but I think I might be out of luck, apparently my Nintendo Network ID is set up for a different region so I can't link it to my current Nintendo account.

Y'aaar it is.

1998 Godzilla is an amazing retelling of Jaws.

Reached 20 on the sorc and probably calling it quits for now, having a lot of fun with it but figure I'll save it for June.

Misc overall thoughts:
-Attack animations and their sounds are fantastic for the sorc. The sounds of the attacks in particular are like New World gathering sounds quality.

-Really enjoyed the new dodge mechanic, using that with teleporting every ~9 seconds made battles feel fun and more engaging than older Diablo games.
I noticed I got a second dodge charge later on but not sure if it was from equipment, leveling, or something else. Excited to see how many you end up with by end game.

-Boss battles felt less like just a direct gear check and more like an actual fun segment with a bit more learning quick patterns. Also really like the mechanic of the boss dropping a few potions for every large chunk of their health that you take off, lets you heal up quite a bit through the fight.

-Character creation is far better than previous Diablo games but still at about a mid 2000s MMO level. Pick a face, hair, hair color, skin color, tattoos, jewelry. Not a big issue I guess considering your character is usually decked out in gear and 2 inches tall.

-Came across a few legendary drops that felt pretty impactful and one that gave a skill perk that made me switch my build up. Felt like a pretty healthy drop rate.
Will be interesting to see how much variety ends up getting added to skills through gear.

-Love the skill/upgrade flexibility, being able to easily and instantly change up your build because of a new drop is great.

-Story seems interesting by Diablo standards.

-Open world aspect feels like it fits Diablo pretty well, going to really appreciate getting a mount though. Especially because I kept forgetting to activate the town portals...

Overall I went from I'll play it to being pretty excited about it.

And finally hit a crash at level 13, ~45 min login queue.

Pretty fun so far, tried out most of the early sorc skills and most are decently satisfying to use. Really like that reskilling is cheap and easy to do, being able to undo particular skills is a nice touch.

Almost went rogue but ended up gong sorceress. Pretty fun so far, the dodge mechanic seems like it'll be fun on a rogue.

90 minutes to log back in oh ya

Yikes! Guess I'll play a bit more before logging.

Most devastating thing so far, you can't teleport in town :(

Was going to hold off until the full release, but dog backpack won me over.

Also I can finally listen to my favorite album again soon! Became obsessed with Daft Punk's Discovery back when Diablo 2 first was out to the point that it was pretty much the soundtrack to Diablo for me.
When D4 was announced decided not to listen to the album again until it was out to make it as fresh sounding as possible while I loop it endlessly on my playthrough

3. Beat a game released between 2003-2012
Diablo 3

Been a while since I've played D3, this 'last hoorah' season is pretty great for a send off to the game. Might actually make it to a 150 rift with the power boost from the Alter of Rites.

Been having issues since an 11 update yesterday too.
One program just uninstalled itself, some take minutes to open, have to delete programdata to get others to launch, lost audio output for a while, had to disable auto HDR because if something used it but wasn't focused the monitor was just black, Chrome tabs crashed due to lack of memory which I haven't encountered before, random fps drops, and probably some more issues I'm forgetting.

On the other hand the new window organization feature is kinda neat.

47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours
Star Wars the Old Republic
Every few years I'll play through one of the class story campaigns, each one is kind of like its own little Star Wars trilogy and can be played through with a free account.
Two more to go, maybe I'll finally finish them all up next year.

9. Beat a remake or enhanced port
Diablo 2 Resurrected
The original was one of the games I probably spent the most time playing as a kid, definitely fun and nostalgic to play through it again. Went with an assassin build.

7/52

Speed Sloth - Lethargy was the only thing keeping us safe.

As a neutral to the game, it was a shit call that robbed everyone of a great ending to what should have been an all time classic super bowl.
Ticky tack nonsense that didn't change the outcome of the play and hadn't been called once all game.

My football watching has nosedived over the past few years and I think I'm going to just finally make the jump over to hockey.

Well that went from great superbowl to pretty quick

I've found transgender issues to be extremely fiery compared to anything else.

A lot of that has to do with politicians on the right realizing they lost the war on gay marriage and needed a new spooky other to scare their dumb as bricks base out to vote. Cue nonstop lies and propaganda to vilify an at-risk group.

Gameboy/GBA to the switch, finally enough to get me to sub to their online.

So basically this topic is, everything and anything Harry Potter related is tainted and should be treated like leprosy no matter the quality of the product

You finally figured it out, bravo! Then you went on some weird rant, but we'll just ignore that part.

Anthem. The gameplay was that good.

17. Beat a shooting game
Star Wars Dark Forces

Once I figured out to not play in full screen the motion sickness went away!

Beedrill
Scizor
Mega Beedrill
Volcarona

I remember FFXI had achievements for reaching end level as different classes, definitely never got close to getting all of those.

38. Finish a game in one day
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer - A lot shorter than I remembered it being, kind of surprised we haven't seen a new one of these since 2002.

4/52

Packers returned to their mid-season form.

51. Beat three games in a series
Crash Bandicoot 2

3/52

50. Beat three games in a series
Crash Bandicoot

2/52

Sounds fun, might actually get me to finish up some games.

7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of
Need for Speed Unbound - Decent cop chases and a fun gameplay loop that makes sneaking back to the safehouse with a high wanted level and your day's winnings feel like a stealth game at times.
Starts strong but kind of fizzles out a bit before the end.

1/52

Lex Luthor

I always took overtuned as the devs purposefully designed the content so that every player must play perfectly or you will lose and overpowered as more an unintentionally hard encounter or in reference to a playable character being OP.

IX had some cool looking shots at least, DotM was just awful all of the way through.

Sandshrew
Cubone

Didn't do much gaming this year, pretty sure I haven't opened NW since March/April and still far and away the most played.

It's not a great movie, but worth watching for Pierce Brosnan's character.
