Is it just me, or is Persona 5 Royal combat way more interesting than Shin Megami Tensei V combat? P5R combat has the player striking weaknesses for a One More (allowing the character to act again), which can be Baton Passed to a different character, which not only restores a small amount of HP...

Got an International Women's Day email from my workplace's Managing Director, and I wanted to break it down since it disgusts me and I wanted to respond to it somehow. I did remove names of both people and the organisation. Will you ever take the opportunity to thank the men of my workplace? Or...

And yes, if I remember it when I cannot recall any of my other classes, then that's saying something about how sickeningly awful it was. Back in 2017, I had to do a "Programming Fundamentals" class, all bout Java - a mandatory class, that was listed as a prerequisite for other subjects. The uni...

Well, that just happened, in the "Pokémon mechanics you'd like to see" thread I just posted in. As I said there, neither "IP" or "History" work for little ol' non-Admin me, yet they're there for some reason...

1. The original show, created by Gerry Anderson, had episodes that ran for about 50 minutes, whereas the new show only has roughly 25-minute episodes, since it's more akin to a regular cartoon. This severe decrease in time means less opportunity for plot complexity and characterisation and...

I just find it slow, awkward, and just nasty to use; previous games had far faster and more refined combat systems. Sure, this is with a Rusty Broadsword (not any lategame weapon), but if combat feels downright awful at the very beginning, where's the incentive to go farther? Sword swings are...

Just wanted to paste this old .txt file somewhere. I know it doesn't matter much anymore, complaining about two lacklustre 2018 games in the beginning of 2021, but...eh. Whatevs. I wrote this before they even came out, too, so that's why the tense is what is is.

The Game Awards is quite controversial, since there can never be consensus on what's a "fantastic" game and what's "trash"; this is inherently subjective. Still, I want to provide my thoughts on several contenders for the 2020 Game Awards. For overall GOTY, there's six contenders: DOOM Eternal...
I love this game, having just today finished it. The ending is one of the few ones where I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried, due to all the death and destruction - and how utterly pointless it all was, since Malos wasn't actually killed. Milton, Hugo, Mikhail's innocence, Mythra's sanity and...

DOOM Eternal: a flawed game that doesn't live up to the hype or its predecessor. Extremely skimpy on ammo, health and armour pickups, resulting in a boring chainsaw/glory kill/flamethrower cycle that gets old fast instead of being able to use the guns to shoot things - which is supposed to be...

    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
