my son has gotten cuter since I've been gone somehow

I think it is actually the trend for babies to get cuter so you know buckle up

Oh I know but his pictures seem even cuter when I'm away from him

Hard to believe he's already three months old

After 19 years of being shackled to what dumb kid/teenage me thought was a "cool" and edgy name I may perhaps be freed from my embarrassment.

or "xp put in a username change request"

We'll see if it takes. Ironically my biggest concern is just it's been the only name I've gone by on the site so I wonder if changing it will just make things more confusing. Will definitely note my old username in my sig if it is approved though.

is xp that embarrassing

to me it is

it is my dark history

I mean

at least you didnt name yourself KleenexTissue

finally upgrading to vista1337

the me of that time didn't even realize the OS thing until someone made the joke at one point lol

yeah why did you do that

Teenage me just picked a broody teenager to name myself after and I also avoided the pitfalls of surrounding it with xXx

You also didn't name yourself ctesjbuvf

That was pretty much the strat (well edgy wizard but same idea)

though "4" is a much more tasteful number than "5000"

fun fact I hadn't even played Chrono Trigger when I picked this name I just thought it sounded cool

I think my story was the lamest: I made this username by combining Lord of the Rings with the fact that at the time one of the highest karma users was named "The Village Idiot" or something (which I apparently thought was a very noteworthy accomplishment)

Well, 4 is my favorite number, so that was an easy call.

It was a carry over from my AIM name when I originally made that account. Im notoriously terrible at coming up with names, so I did the first thing you see thing, which happened to be a box of tissues on my desk.

I stole my GameFAQ's username from my friend's World of Warcraft account name.

I saw a TGCID license plate on my way home

Salute to you, whoever you are

freedom

Now time to see how long before I second guess and regret this username choice!

TWEWY2: On Week 3 Day 7. Possibly right at endgame, I don't know. I stopped where I did because depending on how long endgame was I didn't know if I'd have time for it. Looks like I was probably right about something happening to Shiba before he decided to destroy Shinjuku and now Shibuya but still no answers on what that could be. Tsumugi the MVP for sending visions out even while brainwashed/possessed. Susuki making the dumb decision of thinking it'd be better to lock us up and almost destroyed the city. And probably actually made things worse now that Neku is like "uh that power is super sus" and forced us to use it to fix things. Also everyone seems to be looknig for someone now. Kaie is probably talking about Rhyme but I'm curious what Hishima is up to. Joshua? Hanekoma? Well, I'll probably get my answers next time. Probably. Maybe. ...Okay like half of them will probably be Secret Report material lmao.

where's Zorn

Live A Live remake get!

Looking forward to playing this one again.

That's another game I want to start but can't since I would need to put it on hold when Xenoblade 3 comes out.

It's pretty short (probably like 20-25 hours), though I guess XB3's coming out in a week

I tend to be a lot slower than average for making my way through games. I could probably force it if I really wanted to but I'm going to hold off for now.

Yeah I'm almost afraid to start XC2 despite user SaveEstelle's glowing praise because at my rate I'll spend the next calendar year playing 2 and 3

Glad user SaveEstelle seemed to like it. IIRC one of the times he popped in was during my playthrough because I think I recall mentioning one chapter started "going full Xenogears" or something and he was pleased to hear that because I think he was more uncertain at the time.

Do you know if he's played Torna (the DLC?)

And yeah, I assume I'll finish TWEWY2 pretty soon (assuming there's Another Day type postgame since there's still a bunch of things still left on the collection tab and I don't think I've simply missed them!) and might just idle around with it or go for the platinum to kill time until XB3.

Ah yeah I actually go through games quite slowly myself.

I'm probably holding off on XB3 because (presumably) 100+ hour games are probably not great things to start when I'm supposed to be looking for a job

He hasn't finished the main game quite yet, or at least he didn't mention he had when we talked about it earlier today.

My Switch's Joycons are finally kinda giving up. The drift was espcially noticeable the further I got into Xenoblade with the camera constantly out of control and wanting to move so I went and ordered a Pro Controller for Xenoblade 3 (and future games) rather than see if it could hold together for that.

Yeah, I ordered a Pro controller a long time ago so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

Unfortunately, my PS5 controller is starting to drift a bit. Not sure if I just want to invest in a new controller and have the other one as an emergency backup. I've tried the recommended fixes and none of them seem to have worked.

TWEWY2 Week 3 beated:

bruh

I made the right decision when I stopped before because I was worried I might not have the time because I wasn't actually near endgame at all lol. I had stopped on Day 7 right before talking to Shiba before. Shiba was a cool fight and while I was expecting a reveal of what was behind Shiba I wasn't ready for the full ride of that betrayalton lol. kubo really. The whole dissonance tied to Rindo's time traveling was cool. Day 7' was fun in getting the pieces lined up to beat Kubo and I was mostly bought in that it was going to happen even as I felt there was still too much with Rhyme/Shiki still on the table. Day 7'' was really good though, from the "bad present" to Hazuki being the most sus tourist, to the true rallying of the cast to overcome the noise.

The gall on Joshua showing up at the last minute and saying he vowed to intervene if things got worse lmao. My dude, what the heck did you call the first two runs of Day 7? Also lol just yeeting Shoka into the RG to loophole her situation. But also like... Shoka raised this herself earlier so the writers are aware... like the heck is her living situation given Shinjuku is still gone?

Also, revisiting Shiba for a moment, while I didn't like the whole leader of the Ruinbringers being the GM thing at the time, I do think the later Kubo twist actually justifies it and makes that better in hindsight. That said, it introduces a new issue where I feel like they loaded Shiba's character up with potential in doing that but right at the final minute so it can't truly pay off unless there's a third game/Shinjuku prequel. However, I forgive all of that because "Unpainted" is my new favorite song from the game so it's fine.

Anyway, Another Day up next. The OG set the bar impossibly high so I won't hold it to that standard but looking forward to that next time. Still might get some of my questions answered there! Also the Secret Reports. Still, assuming that the story was mostly contained to what I've played, I really enjoyed it and the ending. A+.

i don't even play that much switch and the joycons have been drifting since like year 2

Yeah, in TWEWY2, the last day goes on way too long. I don't think it lands the payoff as well as the original TWEWY just because I couldn't bring myself to care about Shiba or the Kubo twist (although the repercussions of the aftermath of him getting erased were pretty cool).

I didn't really like the finale of either TWEWY game a whole lot to be honest. I think it's just that I like the character writing in the series a lot, but the plot itself can be a bit hit or miss, and the ending is where they ramp the plot up to 11. Kubo is definitely a fun character though if nothing else. Favorite part of the game by a lot is Shoka's character arc around the end of week 2/beginning of week 3.

Yeah, some of it felt a bit needlessly long/padding but overall I liked how it played out. It played on a lot of time travel tropes I enjoy so yeah.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth Episode 5 spoilers
I was thinking that it would be a bad idea for Haku to fight because he can't imitate Oshutoru's combat ability. Even then, I wouldn't have guessed that Mikazuchi would figure him out in just one swing! It's nice to see Anju back on her feet but that magic cure-all potion sure was convenient.

Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 1 complete!

That was quite the setup for this season. Definitely intrigued by what's going on.

R.I.P. Billy? If you're gone, you will not be missed.

TWEWY2: Another Day (sorta) beated.

Dang, I knew it'd be too much to hope for something on the level of TIN PIN SLAMMER but this was really underwhelming. I did, however, miss stuff it seems. My chapter list was only at 99.5% completion and it showed an uncompleted dive so I looked it up and... oh. I ran through the city looking for stuff right before the trigger that opened the hidden quests. whoops. We'll see if this can redeem this but I'm sorta doubting it!

Yeah, it's cool that they did Another Day again, but it was always going to have a hard time measuring up to the original. The coolest aspect of it is being able to create any party you want, although I wish there was more use for it.

Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 2 complete!

Poor Will. His suffering continues. All he wants to do is play D&D.

Also the song choices in this episode were top notch.

Live A Live: Prehistoric chapter beated

Thank god I got the Cola Bottle on my first King Mammoth kill

I'm about a quarter of the way through the Wheel of Time prequel, and it's nice to have Moiraine back, even if it's just for this book. It's cool to see what she was like before she became an Aes Sedai.

Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 3 complete!

Come on, Steve. Dustin's right. Robin is pretty cool.

also this Russian seems to know where everyone is at any given time

Robin is best

Robin is great. Both her and Max were great additions who just fit in so seamlessly.

And that Steve/Dustin/Robin power trio is so OP.

It's been one year since the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles released in America. Maybe it's time for some sort of AA project.

was thinking today about how naruhodo in GAA1/2 feels like a top 5 playable AA experience. was considering ranking each playable character per game, or games where they feel super similar

Agreed, Naruhodo is the fifth best playable AA character

Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 4 complete!

Okay, yeah, that was an awesome episode. I like how they're seamlessly interweaving the stories between the different factions. It gives the story a sense of unity that season 2 lacked.

TWEWY2: Greetings, sheeple of SELF. Got some red-hot news for ya. I got the platinum in TWEWY2 and watched the secret ending which is really like just an extra scene and not that hype tbqh. Fun game, worthy sequel to the original.

Characters (Being pretty arbitrary in who makes the cut here): Rindo > Shoka > Sho > Nagi > Shiba > Neku > Beat > Matoi > Kanon > Susukichi > Fret > Kubo

Best Psych: Psychic Shotgun. HM: Dynamite Darts

Best Songs: Unpainted, Breaking Free, Transformation (NEO Remix), Hustle and Bustle

Best Beatdrop Banter:
Neku: "That factored out nicely."
Sho: "Like it always should.".

Anyway, timing-wise this all worked out basically perfectly. Bring on Xenoblade 3. Which better arrive tomorrow.

And with that, I bid you adieu.

there's another secret ending scene from Another Day if you didn't see that one (which is a little more hype than the first one)
