"What is my fate? Will I become one of them?"

Quintessential seventh-gen action adventure: random overblown bouts of Micheal Bay action, color palette that consists seemingly strictly of grey + brown + green, tons of slow & simple automated sequences, bullet hell, impossibly hot lady, 100% bullshit multiplayer mode shoehorned in for the kiddos who would refuse to even touch a game if you couldn't mow down your friends with bullets and/or knives and/or 'nades every half second... But fuckin' A does it do it all so damn WELL (okay except the stupid multiplayer), a total platonic ideal. So effortlessly nostalgic. I was hesitant towards this at the time, but looking back even in the face of its sequels this is fantastic stuff. Really puts this new Lara to the test right out of the gate - with a game that has mysterious narrative intrigue mixed with poignancy, heavily personalized systems, expensive graphical prowess, and gnarly jolts of violence. In the words of Todd Howard, it all just works. Never wanted it to end - a more than ample apology for the misdeeds of Tomb Raider: Underworld.

Breathtakingly designed pop techno-horror freakout - like if Cyberpunk 2077 was good. Dead Island's treatise on A.I., cults, upper-class boredom, and existential angst is every bit as deliciously stupid and totally unhinged as that sounds. Doubles down on its bracing art style fetish, orgasmic music, and brain-rattling faux-intellectual jargon - only asking that, in return, you agree to be fully down for the ride. Which, of fucking course, I am. Fight a hulking pig dude and dropkick BDSM leather-clad zombies down bottomless pits while coming to grips with the horrors of being alive - put literally face-to-face with the rotting alternative, and still not knowing which is the more terrifying option - through Dead Island's trademark gruesome sense of humor about the fragility of the human body and, moreso, its mind. Some truly sick and genius thrusts of mental violence to this one. One of the best things I've ever played, as an apologist for this oft-idiotic franchise even I am beyond impressed - spent much of this playtime with my jaw dropped.

FitXR

2019

This is less of a review and more just personal accountability. I've struggled with my weight for years and only dabbled in VR fitness apps here and there - but I'm gonna be using FitXR to try and finally shed this weight and feel good about myself.

Any words of encouragement would be welcome :)

Legítimamente, el mejor Inazuma de DS. El sistema de fichajes es algo más coñazo que en el 2, y esta bastante poco integrado en la historia, así que realmente te incitan a usar los personajes principales y ya.
Pero dios, es que el gameplay es muy divertido, y está muy pulido en comparación a los anteriores.
Por cierto, mucho hablar de que johto tenía a kanto al acabar el juego y que era increíble, pero no he oído a nadie jamás decir que inazuma eleven 3 tiene TODA la totalidad del mapa de las dos entregas anteriores. Eso sí que mola, colega
Ahora me quedan los rangos S en las cadenas, que tengo que matar el mes que me queda de clases de alguna forma y este es el último juego que quería jugar en el Drastic lol

Ok sooo, ace attorney!! been meaning to play this one for a while and finally got around to it
At first I will say that I, dare I say, liked this game quite a lot actually. But that was partly because I thought it was a different kind of game. let me explain myself.
The courtroom felt like a really novel concept. You had this series of proofs, you have to pierce the story yourself and use the right pieces of evidence to get through the case. Great! I even thought for a sec there my choices mattered!
Turns out I was just lucky enough to pick up the right evidences for my first 10 times or so
What did this meant? Well, for starters, I didn't even know I had 5 chances of failing, so it was actually really really tense, and exciting. I was EXCITED, I felt so smart and clever...!!! I was getting through it, it was difficult but with my observation skills I was winging it! It was, so fun!
And then it came. My first mistake.
"Oh, I can actually fail. 5 times, even. Wait, does that mean that this trial isn't developing itself organically based on my choices? (A silly hope to have, in retrospective)"
Turns out that was exactly it. The bs started shortly afterwards, sadly. There were lots of moments where I wanted to present something that was clearly related to the suspect, but the game just didn't let me. It was either cause I wasn't selecting the exact part of the testimony they wanted me to, or because it was too soon. Also, as stated before, you can lose the trial if you fuck up 5 times, so failing is heavily punished. Realizing key details of the case before the characters do only serves to throws you off, because proofs just won't work if not at the right place and time. If you don't save scum, you will also start from the beginning of the trial. I will now mention that I played this on an actual ds, so no fast forward for me, which sucks especially here because you cannot make text go faster if it's your first time reading it :/
I get why it's like that, but I'm a fast reader so it got a little bit cumbersome at times, especially after some unfortunate crashes by my R4

Because of all of these things, I actually took 4 months to finish the last trial. That's right. I completed the rest of the game in just two months, but that one was the one that broke me.
I also needed to use a guide at points for, again, knowing which exact phrase they wanted me to object, which made me felt miserably stupid for something that was out of my control. Hell, even without help, trying all evidences out of desperation made me feel unclever. It was mean :(
I get why people love this game. The music is very soothing, the "gotcha!" moments feel like an explosion of passion and I love more than half of the cast of characters and how well they are represented

But the gameplay makes me feel kinda sad, because I thought it was something way cooler than it actually is, and now that I know how the peak courtroom experience feels it's just kind of depressing ngl

Anyways, if someone read allat, thanks a lot! Wish ye a good one, reader :D/
