    I'm currently working on Silent Hill. I haven't had too much fun with it, but it isn't completely terrible either. I just dislike how dated it is (25 years old) and it's more of "run around until you find something to let you progress further." I'm also working very very slowly on No More Heroes on the Switch, which is decent. I tried playing it twice on the Wii back in the day, but I just didn't get far. Finally, I started and paused Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch a few weeks ago. I really hope to see that one through to the end this time.

    I love it. I think it stands equal to the original game. I enjoyed Before the Storm as well, and I didn't get past chapter 1 of Life is Strange 2. It is remarkable, and I am glad I got to play it <3

    Just finished Life is Strange: True Colors a few hours ago. Absolutely terrific game. It has a great story with interesting characters and the game is just beautiful. The environments are nice and colorful and there are some nice vistas. Only issue is that performance, especially on the Switch, leaves a bit to be desired. It definitely could've used some optimization. I hear even on current generation consoles it has problems with graphics popping in.

    This is all after I just finished Silent Hill 2 a few days ago as well. Another wonderful game. I loved the dark, creepy atmosphere and the story is interesting. I loved the symbolism of everything like the monsters that James faces. It's a good game and I'm glad I finally got to play it after 23 years.

    I just beat the first boss (the rat). I will grind early on so that I can have an easy time later. I'm only here to experience the story. I don't care for a difficult game.

    Been playing Devil May Cry from the HD collection on my PS3. Also making my third attempt to play and finish Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. I'm currently unemployed, but I may be getting a job in a week or two. It has been 11 years since I got NnK and I'd really like to play it through this time.

    I've been playing the Dead Space remake and the Saints Row reboot. I am giving up on the former as I played the OG only a few years ago and the remake is too similar to it for me to be interested in playing right now. The latter is neat, but my PlayStation Plus ran out and I am not renewing because of the price hike a month or two ago. Looking at starting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in a day or two now.

    I am finally done with my semester and undergrad. I started playing games for the first time since July, and I am working on the remake of Dead Space. Enjoying it so far, but it feels extremely familiar (since it is a remake and all). I did put it on hard difficulty. That may have been a bad choice...

    This breaks my heart to read these men, not even my age (31), have terminal diagnoses. I truly hope the state (and country, and world) does something to ban these or get workers supplied masks and anything else they need to be safe. Hell, no one needs a damned stone countertop. Ban them and have something safer replace it. It's a damn countertop.

    I didn't know that about Stranger Things. If so, perhaps there's a chance yet for One Piece. However, judging how long the manga is, I doubt we'll get even halfway through the story. Netflix has its own way of deciding when to cancel a show (on a cliffhanger), and I simply don't see this series reaching the end even if the manga ended in January 2024.

    I hear One Piece will have a budget of 10 million dollars per episode. If true, it is never going to get that far into the story before it's canceled. That is simply too damn expensive.

    Old Boy (2003) was great. I never saw Itchi even though I want to. And Uzumaki... a lot of media uses that name (e.x., Uzumaki by Junji Ito which is getting an anime adaption this year). Are you referring to the previous live action film for Uzumaki made in Japan or something else? I'm not familiar, but I haven't seen that one.
