    Decided to play some 3ds games till Zero comes out and went with Devil survivor 2.

    I hope atlus can revisit this spinoff that at the very least will do on par or better (since its different scope, combat, etc.) that Soul Hackers.

    Devil Survivor 3 is one of my dream game announcements. Announce it in a Direct and I will pop off.

    The list is growing and growing and the FOMO is killing. I wasn't going to buy Splatoon 3 but I ended up buying it and playing it actively. Feeling of Splatoon 1 is back with this one.

    Just keep having fun in Splatoon 3, I find that actually playing games helps with dealing with FOMO.

    I’m happy my Limited Edition of Trails From Zero came a day early which is perfect since I wrapped up Splatoon for now just last night. Excited to check out the official release later tonight!
     
    I just spent at least a hour replaying Alivel Mall over and over and over tryina get all the donuts and not get lost omg
     
    And here I used to think that it would probably have been easier to teach Astronauts to drill than teaching drillers to be astronauts was the biggest plot hole in the film

    but go ahead and stunt on Michael Bay there NASA
     
    Well it's that time again; my end-of-the-month good news roundup. It helps me keep it together, so hope it helps you folks too.

    I see the "I will escape to X country" posts have arrived. I think I mentioned elsewhere here, but my job has me live in several different countries over time and I've been to several dozen. Unfortunately, the crazies are everywhere. After Brexit and Trump they all felt emboldened and knew there were more of them. Yes, they're in Spain. Yes, they're in Greece. A boatload in Aus. NZ has some, but never personally been there. Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan--they are there too. Philippines, obviously yes, look who they elected.

    The best and by far the hardest thing you can do is work tirelessly to improve your surroundings, defeat misconceptions that these people have of you or "da librulsl" (it can happen, believe it or not--I've seen it. Just not to all). Run for office, vote, do charity, volunteer, find a job that lets you un-F the world, go to places you wouldn't, etc. The world is pretty F'd right now, we all know. Though we all want to, there isn't escaping. Look at how many countries are elected far righters now. It didn't start with Trump and it won't end with him, just like it didn't end WW1 or WW2. So the best thing we can all do is fight it, through action (running for office) or words (protesting, letters, etc).

    All that being said, in my experience, the good people far outweigh the bad. But they're good people, which is why they aren't front page news. They're helping, not burning things to the ground for power.

    Man, I remember all the doom and gloom around the hole in the ozone layer. It was in science textbooks as the literal examole of the consequences of environmental pollution. And humanity as a collective righted the ship and now here we are. See, we can change the world for the better.

    Our advances in AIDS prevention and treatment are perhaps some of the greatest advances of the medical field.

    one day you weebs will pay for this

    I mean, uh, good game well played
     
    I lived in Salem from 2009-12 and in Portland from 2016-21. I love Oregon, it’s a great state.

    Portland does have problems. Not in the way that conservatives think, but I’d be lying if I said I thought it didn’t. Homelessness is a pretty huge problem. Part of that is because the PNW is one of the few places in the country where you can live outside and not die due to heat or cold, and Portland has a reputation of being a homeless-friendly city, so I think a lot of people who are about to start experiencing homelessness try to get there for their own survival (there are longstanding rumors of other cities giving their homeless population bus tickets to Portland, but I don’t know how true they are…). But the other factor is that Portland is sort of the exact wrong amount of liberal, as far as addressing its homelessness problem is concerned: it’s liberal enough where they decide they can’t tell homeless people not to form encampments on every street corner downtown, but not leftist enough where they are able to actually address the problem by providing housing and support, because that would cost money.

    Covid also hit Portland hard, and a ton of the sort of cultural fabric of the city – the stuff that makes paying extra to live in a city worth it – closed. That happened everywhere, but in Portland a lot of those places were already sort of struggling before covid because all the landlords seem to want to price Portland like Seattle even though Portland doesn’t have an Amazon or Microsoft. Covid was just sort of the final nail in the coffin and the end result is sort of a hollow city. There are huge parts of what should be a vibrant downtown core that are just boarded up and whole neighborhoods that basically feel like homeless camps. And the condition of the city got noticeably worse during the time I lived there. When I invited out of state friends to Portland and showed them around, I was sort of embarrassed, even in, like, 2017.

    But I still love Portland. I love that it has good transit and I didn’t need to own a car. I love the book culture there, with Powell’s and fantastic indie comic book shops like Books With Pictures and Floating World. I think Portland will bounce back, but…it’ll take a lot of time, I think. When I left it sort of felt like “it’ll get worse before it gets better.” To borrow the turn of phrase, I love Portland but it breaks my heart.

    I was just in Portland a few months ago. Downtown was legitimately creepy to be in. Boarded up windows, almost no people around except in tents or walking fast, no music, barely any cars, trash (including NEEDLES) all over the place. Never went back to Downtown. The outer neighborhoods are much better.

    Where do I collect my sea shells?
     
    When's the last time we got a bad video game adaptation? It seems like everything recently has ranged from merely okay (Detective Pikachu) to great (Arcane). I just realized that when I was watching the TLOU trailer. We've come a long way.

    EDIT: Wait, I forgot about Halo fuck

    Despite Mass Effect 2 being one of my favorite games, I never replayed 3 after my first time through, and so never gave Citadel a try. I'll probably get around to it someday.

    It’s been pretty cold in my room lately because I’ve been keeping my windows open so the cats will visit (they like to hang out in the windowsill)
     
    I really need to start reading the descriptions of games before I order online. I figured oh cool a game that is $20 cheaper than the msrp that is most likely going to be hard to find physically in the future. Japanese audio only but at least it has English subtitles so I won't be lost in the story. Saving $20 is probably worth my error.

    The start of autumn is the best time for the windows to be open. Get the crisp air, can cover yourself with blankets, and the animals tend to want to snuggle more often.
