OG Harvest Moon, to this day, holds up really well! They proceeded to make about 40 of them, and unfortunately only about 1 in 10 truly are great. The rest tend to just recycle the formula in less-stellar forms. Still, a great series that led us to Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria, etc.! ^_^

😆. It's the mental equivalent of deciding to pause a show to go snag chips. Then sitting down and remembering dip. Then sitting back down and remembering your drink. Then grabbing a napkin while you're there getting your drink, and maybe putting some new drinks in the fridge to get cold, haha.

I've still got a 2016 model of LG OLED, and it still looks better than 80% of TVs out there, by a long shot. It's nuts how much better of display technology it is than LCD.

Well... They do, but it's just completely locked into your remaining time. So I can buy a year at regular price, OR upgrade my 25 remaining days for 35% off. But, if I had bought a year yesterday, I could upgrade 364 days for 35% off. Such nonsensical "Haha, randomly EFF YOU!" 😞

Ugh... Just looked back over it. Really too many gems there to list, haha. They've made it a pretty good catalog over the last couple of years.

In the Premium catalog, specifically, there's:
🎮Gravity Rush: Remastered
🎮Rogue Galaxy
🎮Heavy Rain (narrative-heavy)
🎮Dark Cloud 2
🎮The Jak and Daxter trilogy
🎮Dragon's Crown Pro
🎮The Siphon Filter series
🎮The Ace Attorney trilogy
The Extra tier catalog has a ton of good ones, too, though.

And Battlechasers: Nightwar is in there, I think. It's a good one!

It's only on sale if you don't already have it, OR if you just renewed a long period of time (such as a year). If you have 1 month left, the only offer is that you save $1 upgrading your 1 month to premium. 😭
You got lucky, though. And that's cool for you! Just wish for less RNG in my PSPlus deals.

FTL if you have a PC. Roots of Pacha if you don't (or do) and like cozy games at all.

Sometimes, I just jiggle in random shape patterns and pretend it's a strategy.

Hahaha! I thought there was one game in which Tali wasn't romanceable.

I do wish the AI in tactical combat games would act more like a human and less like an always-mathematically-optimizing robot.

Fable 3 was the worst about this. You'd have 743,000 gold and equipment now costs 80,000, and you defeat a huge dragon and find a chest behind it. The contents? 300 gold... 😒

Replace the bugs and bots with DEI and "wokeness" and it's essentially a documentary.

Don't feel bad... I have yet to finish Breath of the Wild. 😁

Don't at ALL feel bad about looking up map tips or something if the traversal is the main thing bugging you. Even once I had my map all filled in, I still sometimes ran into trouble getting straight to where I wanted to go. ^_^

You kind of have to wander/explore for a bit at first. There's a coolness to that, but it does produce a bit of frustration, too. As you go, you unlock a lot more fast-travely points and such. But, to delve into some zones kinda just requires you to commit to a lil' journey.

Jesus H. Christ! Did they like spontaneously install an infant surgery wing JUST for *your* son's surgery? Did they fly in a prebuilt one from a warehouse on Mars?!

Communication's kinda like pushing on a non-Newtonian fluid: The harder you do it, the harder it resists.

Thanks for being reasonable about it. And I don't want you to feel like you're not allowed to *feel* how you do. But yeah... try to take a breath and collaboratively share your feelings next time. There's 100% room for that. "Hey, I get you, but I've been struggling with that lately" for example.

My brain is constantly playing Pong between "Oh no, what if my joking here is not cool?!" and "Omg, what if I just never interact with anyone out of fear?! BETTER RESPOND!". It's slightly exhausting.
It always feels like most folks just kinda have a radar for that? I'm over here like...

Haha. I feel this!
That's like with all this "don't jump into other people's banter!" stuff the past couple days... I know the BLATANT examples of that, I get it. But, I genuinely operate almost purely on guesses when it comes to where "the line" is with folks I kinda know on the internet. 🥺

What if they were just *so* exclusive that only like 3 people made the cut? o_O

Look, *some* folks just can't handle a Norman Reedus with a full cargo load travelling at 12 knots during a windstorm while evading supernatural entities! And that's okay! Those folks don't need to be embarrassed. They can pretend the game was just bad, and we'll still love them! 😁
