I’m really loving the working LCARS interface, ship view, and system/sector navigation maps. It’s very well thought out and executed. I’m already emotionally-invested in the story and characters, but now I’m the one in the hot-seat and this just-the-right-amount in-universe interface empowers that while still feeling like a familiar Survival/Strategy game.

Tuvok is extra sassy. Tom Paris is noticeably more sarcastic, by a good 15%. They’re both dragging Neelix through the mud here.

So I had this game, Gris, that I got for free. And one day I was like, bored so I played.

And after a little... I ended up sobbing. And not because of the story, but something I couldn't define. Like it was touching on something I'd lost, something I couldn't remember but something I could feel. I felt the loss, the grief, the absence, and...

I still can't explain why.

And it isn't just me.

Vul was watching me finish, she hadn't even seen most of the game. But she ended up sobbing too.

And so many people who play have the same thing happen. Like. What? Why?

I think...

...it is because underneath all of this, somewhere deep inside us, we can feel that there was more. That we lost something. And though we don't remember...

...we still grieve.

The one thing I don't like about FromSoft games is the lack of a quest log. It's the same thing I disliked about Skyrim. Oblivion writes a journal logging every step of your quests. Skyrim would track your quest completion status, but it only had vague titles and subtitles with no details about exactly what you had done. FromSoft games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring have nothing; so if you take a break for a week or two you better hope you have a good memory or wrote things down.

Buoyed by some commendatory early reviews and fantastic initial player numbers, Gears of War: E-Day has found a solid audience a weekend before general release. And a large part of its appeal is the combat; I noted in m…

It is wild to me that over the past year the #Switch2 has become my primary way to play #VideoGames after realising how little I care about the highest frame rates, resolution and graphical fidelity.

What really matters is the pick up and play experience of the console, the portability and the seamless way I can transition between docked and handheld play which no PC handheld is able to match (Steam Deck is close but still janky)

It certainly helps that Nintendo has put out so many great first party exclusives that have kept be coming back AND gotten all the third parties I want to play onboard so I just buy them there as well. My first #PS5 purchase of this year is the Ghost of Yotei DLC which just came out.

Could I play those third party games elsewhere with higher frame rates and better graphics? Yes, but I am at an age now where the experience offered by Nintendo’s console matters more than other factors.

I have my BazziteOS machine plugged into the same Ethernet cable I used to plug my Xbox into. Steam regularly maxes out my 1GB network while the Xbox rarely ever communicated at more than 500 Mbps.

No grand message here, just waiting for a new game to download.
