Another movie watched, this time its The Menu (2022) a satirical, thriller, horror movie with a vein of dark comedy for good measure. The movie does a great job of balancing all these elements as we explore the absurdity of high dinning experiences and content creation in general. Each of the...

Playing yakuza 5 for the last few days and i'm having a blast as i think its a massive improvement/departure from the previous games. For now, i'm playing as kazuma in a different city that isn't okinawa, kamurocho or osaka, yet. I've come across some new significant mini games that i like a...

We go to the main book i was reading, Strange Houses by Uketsu. Our story begins when the author (free lance journalist) is asked by his friend to give his opinion on a house that's on sale. The author concurs that something is off with the house but decides to reach out to his architect...

So more books finished. First up, A graphic novel The life and times of Martha Washington in the 21st century written by Frank miller and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. As the title explains we follow the life of Martha Washington, a black female who was born in what is best described as a walled...

yeah Costume quest has great visual and makes it quite an endearing game, but mechanically its a bit simple. I believe i called it "my first jrpg" as i found it relatively easy. I finished the DLC and honestly i can't remember much of that at all. Like you, i couldn't stomach a second serving...

i emulated it. i saved scummed more then i expected as there were points in the game that really pushed me hard. Ammo is surprisingly tight in this game and the awful weapons didn't help. But on the flip side i had ammo to spare so maybe i should have gone a little crazy. But playing as Chris...

Another game finished. this time its Resident evil: Code Veronica X on the PS2. Its a sequel of sorts to Resident Evil 2 where claire continues her search for Chris and to bring down the umbrella corporation in Europe. Things go wrong and she is captured and placed in an unknown prison island...

Well, that's Resident evil: code veronica x finished and that should be the last game for halloween (excluding the halloween doom 2 wad). Tomorrow we'll start my yearly tradition of Yakuza with Y5! i'm sitting on the fence concerning POE league. Just like last time i have a stronger feeling...

A quick book finished, this time its the popular Strange pictures by Uketsu (translated by Jim Rion). Its a chilling mystery/horror written by japanese youtuber Uketsu a (man?) who hides his identity behind a mask and voice modulator. his books have been wildly popular in japan and have been...

Another Path of exile league reveal on twitch shortly. watch for 45 min for a free spider pet. The good news is that its available for 24 hours so those who have to stay up late to watch or miss the drops entirely have a chance to get the drop this time. A lot of people are saying that with...

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/memory/looks-like-the-ai-boom-has-made-ddr4-ram-no-better-value-than-ddr5-as-storage-and-memory-prices-continue-to-rise/ My pc is still ok for everything i need and there's nothing screaming that demands i replace it now, but seeing news like this sometimes...

Another series finished, this time its Only Murders in the building a comedy amateur sleuth. 3 strangers with a passion for crime pod casts try their hand at solving a murder that takes place in the apartment complex. i got the chance to watch it as a taste of disney plus on ITVX and i found...

I played as tremere and had a reasonably good time playing the game. Interestingly, not being able to max out your last stat is something of a blessing as i found out in the late game. Turned out you didn't need the last upgrade and all those expensive last upgrades could be used for all skills...

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/battlefield-6-officially-nerfs-xp-farming-servers-into-the-ground-draining-them-of-nearly-all-xp/ Perhaps the XP servers is a symptom that the grind is too high or excessive enough that it needs adjusting? if it wasn't, these servers wouldn't exist. yes i...

i had my eye on bannerlord 2 for sometime and every so often i see a lot of criticism about it. I'm interested in the game but potentially stupid ai or issues with game mechanics does concern me a lot. but naval combat is nice i guess, but what will it be like? hopefully not an absolute disaster...
