So I'm playing no man's sky after X years and because internet historian's video made me think that it's probably ripened enough by now, and the content and stuff that's in it is so much and so overwhelming.

Like, there's a social hub of players(the space anomaly), tons of new vehicles for both land and sea, space combat, huge amounts of base customization and features to build, lots of new elements to explore, a much bigger focus on homesteading since worlds are now recorded in the galactic atlas and it's not a one in a trillion chance to find someone, it feels like playing a subnatica that's been expanded extremely enormously.

So I'm playing Sekiro Souls: Nioh was released twice, and honestly I have the same problem with it as all the other souls games with its bossing, the combat is all "dodge all attacks forever, get off ONE hit for 5% of the boss's HP, then go back to autistically dodging everything ever", like there's no way to play it except as hyper-defensive and manic-dodging and it makes all boss battles take an extremely long time, you can't take any risk at all for any reason and it's the only way to play.

Also, the posture system(where bosses lose posture as you perfect parry/perfect dodge their stuff, and if they lose all posture you instantly kill them) is almost not worth using just because ONE missed dodge/perfect parry/jump/etc will almost immediately spell your doom and bosses' posture bars are so enormous.

So in a scene in jump force, Izuku Midoriya(Deku) from MHA instantly assumes Piccolo from DBZ is a villain when he sees him, and Piccolo replies he's no villain, he's a namekian. It's gotten memed really hard with jump force players to show deku beating up, bullying, or just generally being a dick to piccolo.

So in granblue fantasy a new character called Vikara(Rat) came out and she has a lot of silly/cute poses:

So Northernlion made a one and a half hour video ranking every item in a canadian grocery store and it's surprisingly amazing, like there's so many interesting food opinions: 

So Shanghai.exe got C&D'd, which is really sad, but I found out there's a new roguelike MMBN fangame called One Step from Eden, it's in the style of Slay the Spire where after every battle you get a choice of one of 3 new chips, and after every elite battle you get a passive bonus. It's really good and the demo is super challenging, so I'm very hype again.

So there's 3 auto chess games announced/releasing this week, one is league of legends' auto chess, teamfight tactics, one is Valve's official auto chess game, Dota underlords, available to dota battle pass owners until it's out of beta, and the original creator of auto chess(drodo)'s has announced that his version of auto chess (which is already out on mobile) will be available through only the epic store on PC.

I had a feeling this genre was going to take off since it was top 5 twitch views basically since release but I didn't expect it to be the next HS/MOBA/BR.

So with no 3DS games announced for a while and none on the horizon other than the swan song Persona Q2, the 3DS is probably done. The 3DS was so so great, like seriously, it had so many extremely good games like SMT4, Zero Escape, Bravely Default, FF Theatrhythem, KI: U, RF4, Luigi's Mansion 2, games that created a whole fandom on their own like Fire Emblem Awakening and Senran Kagura, redefining sequels like the new Pokemon games, great ports like XB and others and just awesome new/unique sequels to longrunning series's like Monster Hunter, Metroid, Etrian Odyssey, Zelda, Mario, Kirby, Ace Attorney, Metroid, Warioware, etc, etc, like it just did so much of everything and it did it all super well.

Fire Emblem Awakening is ESPECIALLY big, bringing back a whole series that was permanently niche and releasing many further sequels that are also liked and spawning a huge fandom with how 10/10 just one game is is the stuff of legends.

So, platinum games set up a kickstarter to make wonderful 101 remastered for switch, if they reach their 50k funding target, for PC if they get 250k, and for ps4 if they get 500k, campaign goes from 3rd of february(today) to 3rd of march. 

It hit 400k within two hours of being up.

The Caligula Effect: Overdose is out in an hour on everything except Xbox One, it's an action JRPG written, directed, scored, and has character designs by the same people who worked on the original 3 persona games(Persona, P2 Innocent Sin and P2 Eternal Punishment. Not Persona 3).  The premise is that your MC is just an average guy in a highschool, but then he realizes that he's in a computer program designed to recreate high school years of paradise forever, and he's trapped. He forms a group called the "go-home club"(are you getting SEES vibes yet?) and tries to get out of this simulation while befriending and convincing other high school students that this is a fake world, and avoiding and destroying the bodyguards of the virtual world.

Also it has a female MC now, hell yeah, Persona 3 Portable's female MC was one of the best things ever and was an extremely unique experience for me to see dating/relations from the perspective of a female character.

There's a constitutional amendment/change referendum in my country floating around and soon to be voted on that would make the current president(who's been here since 2014) able to be the president until 2034, by extending term limits from 4 to 6 years and giving the current president a special, unique two bonus 4-year terms as "transition", and raising his ability to choose judiciary appointees. Bear in mind, the constitution which actually put in the two term, 4 years limit was passed in 2014 only.

It has 90% support in the parliament. Also, any mention of what's actually in the constitutional amendments is completely scrubbed from the media, there have been basically no mentions whatsoever of it and googling any Egyptian source on it will only give you that they CAN pass it, not what's in it, so it will likely get rubber stamped by the voters too.

TWO DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN AHHHHHHH

U got that:

What am I in for? Only pokemon game I've played is BW2 which was nice enough.

What games have the best artstyles? I'll start with Shin Megami Tensei's demon designs.

What's more exciting: A horde survival where the survivor who killed the MOST zombies gets killed at the end of the day, or, one where the survivor who killed the LEAST zombies gets killed at the end of the day?

The first one has the tension of making the group more and more uphill and tense every day they survive, but the second one has the dynamics of the worst performers wanting to sabotage each other and take their weapons and so on to not be the last one.

Who's this cutie?

Winner winner kimchi dinner. 

Really like the game so far btw

You can't date sae in p5r.

You know, I say this all the time, but Maplestory 1 is legitimately one of the best games of all time IMO, like it has so much content and it's all so likeable and fun, so many character classes, so much ability to minmax your stuff, and it also has one of the best OSTs of any game, like, victoria island themes and especially henesys' theme has been in my head since 2005, and more.

I would definitely recommend anyone play it even if you're playing it singleplayer and don't care about interaction with others, just pretend it's a castlevania game with lag or something.

A Samurai Jack game in the style of ninja gaiden/team platinum is coming out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmYX0D6Sunk

Alec Holowca, Co-founder of the company which created Night in the Woods, is out as a result of rape accusations made by Zoe Quinn on twitter recently. Also, a project the studio was working on is cancelled. Very sad.
