He should come back in an alternative universe as a 21-23 year old.

What? Some of the most well known and highly rated books are in the public domain.

That’s a good point actually… whenever you see them in any UK supermarket it tends to just be egg mayo by itself (and always on brown bread for some reason). Or egg & cress like you say.

OR you might see an all day breakfast sandwich with egg mayo, sausage and bacon.

That’s a good way to do things. I guess I have a mentality of ‘I paid for this, so I want to make the most of it’, though that doesn’t necessarily mean 100%ing a game, just playing it until I’m satisfied. In that respect calling myself a completionist isn’t quite accurate - I’ll just play through all of the significant content and avoid any filler. The recent Spiderman games are some of the few that I’ve actually 100%'d, because I found all the content to be fun and not a waste of time.

It’s rare that I’ve dropped a game, as I tend to be quite particular about the games I pick up; but I totally agree that if you’re not enjoying a game it’s better to just drop it and move on to something else. Digimon Cyber Sleuth for example - I got about 10 hours in and lost interest. Not sure if I’ll go back!

One of these

In the UK at least, the filling is called egg mayonnaise. In the US/Canada it seems to be called egg salad

It doesn’t help that I’m a bit of a completionist (at least to the point of doing the majority of the side quests, and ignoring the ones I felt were tedious)

Oh that’s grim :(

I’ve definitely been put off coleslaw after a spoiled portion at a Topgolf place gave me food poisoning

It took me months (I’ve had a lot of other stuff on), but I finally beat FF7 Rebirth the other day! Really enjoyed it - the combat system is great and I loved exploring the backstories for each character. Some parts felt quite filler-y, but were generally still fun to play/watch.

I’ve just started Tunic. The way in which various aspects of the game are revealed through the instruction manual is so clever. Can’t wait to finish work and play some more!

This is definitely a controversial take, but maybe there’s some truth to it. (A price hike like $90 Mario Kart is way too much however). I think the issue here is that purchasing power has decreased for the majority of people over the last few years as inflation has increased whilst wages have not kept pace. And it really doesn’t help when triple A games increase their prices whilst releasing in a buggy state - people don’t see any benefit of a $10 increase to that game when it doesn’t offer $10 more value than it would have done a year prior.

Sure, corporations need to recoup the high cost of development - but then perhaps their costs wouldn’t be nearly as high if they didn’t pay millions to their CEOs. Indie devs can successfully put out (usually much more interesting and creative) games for a fraction of the cost.

The DS remake of FF3 was my first Final Fantasy game, and I remember loving it. The chibi artstyle was really appealing to me at the time. I’m pretty sure I managed to cheese one of the late game bosses by using a certain class (ninja?) that got me a lucky 9999 damage hit. After that point I was severely under levelled, and got stuck at the final dungeon with no way to back out.

I should replay it at some point! Or maybe the pixel remaster version (people seem to rate that higher?)

I see the Batman/Sleeping dog combat, Spiderman web-slinging (I swear some of those animations are ripped directly from the recent games), GTA character changing, Watch Dogs hacking of buildings. What Persona stuff did they rip off?

This looks good (despite blatantly ripping off several games)! I like the art style and some of the wacky scenarios they’ve shown. The free to play label does worry me though…

Can confirm

Yes I’d agree with this. It’s fiddly, but changing the sticks isn’t too bad. So glad I eventually changed mine out for hall effect ones after several bouts of stick drift!

It’s looking great! Hope it does well :)

Ohh is this the game the guy from the Game Makers Toolkit youtube channel has been making?

Yeah probably a good shout :)

Oh yippee! I kickstarted this a while back. Now, should I request the key for my Switch or Steam Deck?
