Tbf i think it’s because he’s at the apex of his jump (like 6in off the ground lol) so the gut kind of shifted up as he came back down. Doesn’t make the image any less absurd, but it came to mind when I didn’t even recognize the dude. I think the same thing is happening to his jowls in the photo. Either way the man-child is ridiculous. And so is the other one.

Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They’re small things though, and I’m happy to be supporting artists more.

That is the translation I’ve seen, so kudos! It’s Marth’s default taunt voice line. I got really used to hearing it back in the day, usually interrupted as my cockiness got punished.

Yoshi and Marth. In summary, I am what they call a “basic bitch.” Minna, miteite kure

If you loved the first one, you’ll love the second. They really didn’t make any huge changes so you have something to look forward to when you do bite the bullet. Most of the changes are QoL improvements and a new story in a new map with new groups. A good scratch for my AAA itch.

And playing solo. This is actually the first time I’ve played after the multiplater update, so I’ve always played solo. The few gaming people I know would probably rather play CoD or Helldivers, so I don’t expect to try mp for a while. Still fun solo though. Recommend if you like open world survival craft. It’s a bit unpolished due to a tiny dev team (I want to say they are all the way to 6 devs now, started as 2) but fun nonetheless.

Switching between Horizon Forbidden West and The Planet Crafter.

Horizon I’ve meant to play for a while, and finally got stuck into it. Most of the way through, but like all these open world games there’s a ton to do, so I’ve got a bit to go.

Planet Crafter I haven’t played for the last few updates, so I’m enjoying exploring the new biomes and getting a sweet base built in a new file.

“Now cough…”

Man, those guys get more relevant every year

Ugh, dammit Hitchcock put your shirt back on

Fuck you those 3-year-old wounds barely healed

“Alright guys I’m back just give me a sec I’ll catch up-”

Hazmatastic has died.

“I’ll be back up in 30 seconds please I swear I got this please don’t kick me”

I remember thinking graphics had peaked with Metroid Prime. It was a good-looking game, but that was deeply inaccurate

Absolutely agree about BotW. I’m barely getting into it (only 800 more korok seeds to go…), and I really enjoy it as a game, but it feels more like a great game set in Hyrule than it does a Zelda game. I think they strayed a bit too far from the formula on it. I miss going into a temple, finding a bunch of stuff I can’t do anything with, getting an item, using that item to solve all the puzzles I couldn’t do anything about, then using the skills that gave me to beat the boss with that item. I miss permanent items that are given incrementally and give a feeling of progression as more of the world opens up to you as a result. BotW feels like it gave me all my items at the beginning, handed me an open world, and said, “Have fun.”

I am having fun. Just not Zelda fun.

Everyone who looked at how much money WoW was pulling in without having to churn out game after game and figured out why

Why are you being down voted, obvious funny sarcasm

I know that you will

Bruh the “propaganda” is Republicans opening their own mouths

Lmao apple is the same company that points their heat sink fans at the glue that holds the entire MacBook together. Do some deep dives on their hardware. You only get what you pay for if you pay for the logo, which is the case for most Apple users.

I’ve had Mac, I’ve had Windows, and I still prefer present day enshittified fucking Microsoft. Apple only “pays off” if you utilize their entire connectivity suite which, spoiler alert, is just as bad an idea as Google-ifying your entire life except it’s also more expensive. MacBook + iPhone + Apple Music + Apple Video + iCloud is the ecosystem they want you to live in, and they put in a ton of effort to make that the only viable option if you use their products. Everything is proprietary, and they control the prices. You think that laptop charger on their site is worth $100? It is to you, because you need it to charge your shit and theyre the only ones who sell them. Any other machine would have the same hardware for $20-$50. People who buy Apple products are a) power users whose idea of computer capabilities is about 15 years old and b) people who buy Apple because everyone else has them. Better products exist. If you think your manufacturer of choice is the objective best at everything it does, you need to stop drinking the Flavor-Aid. I don’t care what manufacturer, but Apple is the worst offender by far of this.

Cut the umbilical cord. Free yourself.

Control is fantastic if you like the Remedy vibe. Not checking it out would be doing yourself a disservice, I think.

For me, stealth optional is a challenge to use it. I can’t resist being the stealthiest boi I can be, on the off chance there’s unique dialogue or rewards. It works ten percent of a quarter of the time.
