Game Beaten FF7 Rebirth (aka Remake Part 2) I'm a bit torn on this game. On one hand, it's incredible, and my GOTY probably. During the first couple 10-20 hours there were moments that made me cry of joy... the music, the visuals, the areas, the nostalgia, the fan service, the story, the
Game Beaten Crisis Core... One of the worst games I've ever played Just finished Crisis Core. Or to be more specific, CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION (great title!) I know I usually put a screenshot when I make these posts but no... not with this game... I just cant bother. Lets get the good stuff out of the way: * Music is
Game Beaten Final Fantasy VI I finally finished FF6 yesterday. This is a game Ive had on my backlog for quite some time probably as long as Ive had the concept of a backlog. But its finally checked off. What did I think about it? It was great! Music is amazing, probably top 5 video
Game Beaten Alan Wake 2 * Beautiful game. Very demanding on my computer though, almost felt like I needed a RTX 4090 to properly enjoy it... I ended up lowering resolution and other settings instead :( * Very weird and very interesting story. That's why I kept playing it. * Mediocre gameplay otherwise. I kinda liked the
Red Dead Redemption II - Still Incredible I've been gushing over RDR2 lately. I played through it again earlier in the year, and it was incredible. And I feel like it gets better with age. I don't think we quite got how good it was when it released. But now its been over
Game Beaten Spider-Man 2 (PS5) Haven't done one of these posts in a while. Not sure why. I've been playing a bunch of games, albeit most of them have been games I already played before. But today I have a brand spanking new game that was awesome that I want to
Deactivated Twitter I just deactivated my main Twitter account. Why now? I dont know. Maybe the doge logo was the final straw, though, I gotta admit I kinda liked it. Nah but Ive been on the edge of deactivating my Twitter account for a good while now. I just dont get any
Thoughts on Gaming Laptops I got a gaming laptop earlier this year. I was moving and so I figured it'd be easier if I just gutted and sold my desktop and replaced it with a laptop, and so I did! I got a 15" Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an i7
Elden Ring. It's a good game. Figured I should make a post commemorating this game that took over my life for a couple of weeks. I wasn't planning on playing it, and was going to boycot it, because I hate the elitist "git gud" SoulsBorne community, I am not part of the
gamele.app Here's what I worked on this week: gamele.app. It's like Wordle but for game screenshots. Currently it has screenshots for these systems: * NES * SNES * N64 * GameBoy * Genesis/Mega Drive * Playstation 1 I plan on adding more, or maybe combine them all. Great programming exercise it
Emulation on Chromecast Google TV Couple of weeks ago I got a Chromecast with Google TV, or as you can elegantly abbreviate it: CCwGTV. Main reason was to remove my Apple TV 4K box so I had one less box hooked up, along with its 3 cables (power, ethernet, HDMI). Unfortunately, this Chromecast requires dedicated
Movies I Watched in 2021 I watched very few movies this year. I pretty much only watch YouTube nowadays if I am watching anything. But, here are the few actual movies I watched: John Wick (2014) Being on a Cyberpunk 2077 kick, I figured I should watch some movies that are loosely related. This movie
Thoughts on GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition (Game Beaten: Vice City DE) I don't know if you've heard but Rockstar announced that a "Definitive Edition" of the classic GTA trilogy was coming and I got really excited for that because I love the original GTA trilogy. They are very special games to me, for many reasons.
Game Beaten: Resident Evil 3 Remake [Updated] Had this one on my radar for quite some time since I liked the RE2 Remake. This was one was... very mediocre. I mean it's not bad or anything. It has nice graphics, nice controls, nice art design, music, mood, voice acting, everything. The story and characters were
Game Beaten: "DEATHLOOP" I was not planning on getting this game. Sony constantly showed it in their presentations and it just looked so bland and generic. That, in combination with it being a Bethesda (which is now Microsoft) published title, really did not make me want the game. But then the reviews came
V appears more modest in the inventory preview after the half year montage ;) Last weekend, or whenever the hell it was, I compiled all the Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes into one long list. Now, a week later or however long it's been, I remembered this line from version 1.05: V appears more modest in the inventory preview after the half
Anne Pro 2 + Custom Layout is Incredible I got another keyboard this month, an Anne Pro 2. It's a 60% keyboard that is pretty cheap. I've actually had an Anne Pro 2 before, but it was in ASCII layout and that caused a problem for me because I am too used to the
Game Beaten: Mass Effect 3 Hmm, I don't know how to start my thoughts on ME3. I like it, a lot, but I also hate a lot about it. A lot of it felt like a downgrade from ME2: * Planet scanning was simplified and just felt like me going around spamming the scan,
Game Beaten: Ratchet & Clank - Rift Apart Fun game. A few spots frustrated me (mostly around the mountain you rush up while the floor is collapsing) but for the most part it was just plain fun and a good game. I liked it a lot more than 2016. I think my nephews will love it. I love
Game Beaten: FF7R INTERmission (the Yuffie DLC) The very definition of short and sweet? * Was short, 9 hours ish. Probably could've been 7ish if I hadn't stopped and grinded the box challenge. * Yuffie is cute and fun, but still kinda meh overall. Didn't care for her in the original either. * The
Game Beaten: Mass Effect 1 + 2 (Legendary Edition) I was originally gonna do all 3 games in one post, but I'm gonna take a break from the series before I play the third game (because of other games releasing, such as the Yuffie episode for FF7R and the new Ratchet & Clank) so I figure I
Game Beaten: Nier Automata (Updated) I saw the credits roll in a video game so my OCD is making me do this. This is a game where it's not really over when it's over, so I have more to experience still. But so far, it's pretty great. It'
Game Beaten: Miles Morales Leading up to the PS5 launch, this was the game I was most excited for. But I held off on getting it, waiting for it to get a little bit of a price drop. Eventually, all that went out the window when I got Returnal, a game I don'
Game Beaten: Ratchet & Clank (2016) Had this game on my todo list for a good while but just finally got around to it, mostly thanks to the 60 FPS patch on PS5 and Rift Apart coming soon. And yeah, it was fun. Not great or outstanding or anything, but fine. It looked really good which
Power Limiting the 3900X After I sold my 3070 I've gone back to my Louqe Ghost case. Running the 3900X in here is possible, but it gets sweaty. Almost a bit too sweaty. I could maybe solve it by adding a tophat and some more fans, but I don't like
