I should be finishing Pragmata tomorrow and I know it's really really good because I'm absolutely stalling on finishing it because I don't want it to be over.

No new games to pick up this week so the plan is to finish Pragmata (which is turning out to be an easy top 3 for the year for me already), get 100% in that and then finish People of Note. I'm interested in Aphelion next week and Saros after that. Forza Horizon 6 on the...horizon...
WWE people are finding out that TKO doesn't care about any of the action or people in any capacity, they just want ad space. If they could book every match to be 3 minutes like it's a UFC card filled with KO's they absolutely would. I can only hope any fans they have left wake up and leave them
Diana (Pragmata) is probably the best child character in a game. But Hugh is also the best everyman character. Like, he's actually the most wholesome main character in game history, no one even comes close.
I haven't watched WWE in years but I'd usually be at least somewhat interested in Wrestlemania. This year everything I've read or heard about the build for it looks/sounds so bad that I can't imagine wanting to see any part of it. The whole company sounds like a disaster under TKO
I decided to re-register an account to enjoy the memes of our 1990s #MoonChild game. 😁👍
I designed Hoi and Moon Child. Reinier van Vliet coded it, and Ramon Braumuller made the soundtrack.

The lesson of Moon Child should be pretty obvious. It's not haha funny music great meme, it's that hey I would actually play this probably terrible unfinished game because it has great music. Good music can overcome a LOT of mediocrity elsewhere
I started reading The Tainted Cup on a whim, didn't even know it was first in a series. Now I'm pretty hooked. Magical Holmes and Watson investigation in an interesting fantasy land that's well explained? Hell yeah. #BookSky
This is just a completely insane thing
It's not in their database, they only have the old dos game or it would have been my first pick lol
The actually important meme chart
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
I actually have to do some speedrunning for at least a day or two because Spica Adventure is, incredibly, being released on modern consoles. Will I actually revive my SRC account to post my time there? Absolutely not. Will I get a sub 6? Sure. Nice to not need the Taito Type X emu stuff now though
Capcom is just seemingly operating at a higher level than everyone else these days, they're pretty much showcasing how the AAA space SHOULD be. Great new entries in old series, revivals, collections, new IPs, scope is kept in check, games allowed to be shorter than 20hrs, varied art styles, lovely
Finished up Octopath Traveler 0 today with everything. Still a great game, I just wish it had the more expressive job system/skills that Octopath 2 has. It also doesn't look quite as good as 2. Everything else is as good or better though. About as good as you could ever do converting a mobile game.
I haven't gone back to the old Screamer games yet but I've been pushing the new Screamer at everyone I can because I enjoyed it so much. I've already got a few people to pick it up. I really think it'll be a cult classic and I hope they make another.
I watched the @evewrestling.bsky.social Bruised, Battered and Hungover show and man, that's some good wrestling. Love Safire Reed, Euro Smash, Anita Vaughan, Rhio. Martina looks the best I've ever seen her. Excellent stuff. Looking forward to that TJPW joint show too.
It's a big watching stuff weekend. Got a PW EVE show to watch, Project Hail Mary in IMAX, UFC with the boys, AEW Dynasty on Sunday. And then next weekend there's like 10+ hours of wrestling w/o even touching Wrestlemania (and all of it better than WWE)
Coming up on the end of Octopath Traveler 0 and my feeling is that the stories and overarching narrative are the best the series has had but the battle gameplay can't hide its mobile roots. Characters are too samey in battle and the job system's too simple. Octopath 3 will probably own though
I finished There Is No Antimemetics Division and I thought it was very good. However, a lot of it is very disjointed because of the way it was originally published so when I got to the part where it was actually sticking with things I didn't realize it until later in the book so it's kinda weird
I'm reading There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm and it's been a very fun quick read. It's kind of SCP adjacent or like what the FBC in Control might do pre that game. I like a quick sci-fi guy.

Turns out noise canceling headphones are really good for making you lock in while playing games and you forget to go to bed whoops
The Gaming Plan is to play Octopath 0 and Life is Strange: Reunion. I'm holding off on Damon & Baby until it gets a couple announced patches. I might grab People of Note right away but otherwise it's the first two and getting retro cheevos in Ghost Squad on the side. Pragmata in 2 weeks.
If I'd known Ghost Squad for Wii takes like 30 hours to unlock everything in the game I would have bought it when it was new. Arcade style short games always got short shrift at retail back in the day but lightgun especially were seen as so disposable. Real shame with how complete a package it is
Went back to try out the story dlc for Ninja Gaiden 4 and while I have completely forgotten how to play the game, it's also even more obvious to me now that it's one of the best action games of this entire generation
The Knockout Brothers have almost singlehandedly revived my interest in New Japan tag team matches. I have no idea what New Japan's doing with their main event scene. It's certainly dynamic though.
I really hate men's body wash. No I don't want to smell like a tree or leather, just let me smell like a strawberry or apple or whatever. I live in a truck filled with dirt and diesel 12 hours per day, I want something actually pleasant
I think if I didn't have something like the Co-Main Event podcast to listen to I'd probably be done watching UFC or other combat sports stuff in general. I love watching MMA but obviously there's a flood of horrid right wing dogshit permeating it. CME's one of the few good things left in the space
