"The Climbing Expedition" they say.

Get in chat, we’re posting lock screens.

I don't recall a recent RPG where I can go into a boss battle, spend what feels like a full hour fighting it while NOT getting frustrated, and still be finding combos that are interesting in the process. ...yes, I've been playing more Clair Obscur. Why do you ask?

It is officially "cop cars parked by the elk herd to warn people not to walk up and try to touch them" season again.

Say it with me: Disabled people deserve to thrive, even if they can't work.

This is really starting to feel like one of those nights where I just put on episodes of something silly like Martian Successor Nadesico, because anything else feels too heavy.

Trump signed an executive order today aimed at ending government funding for NPR and PBS. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Learning JUST how much my "follow the main story" pathing in Clair Obscur made me miss out on. Now I'm going to have to turn around...but at least now I have clearer ideas on where to look for things. 😆

*half-formed complain-y thought about tech* Even with all that Steam has done to help along having PS4 controller support, I still find it intensely strange that for "natural support" I either need to go current-gen (PS5...or a latest-gen XBox)...or my old corded 360 controller. SIgh.

Support. Independent. Games. Media.

Well I just found out that Marvel are bringing back the book that gave us Frank Castle in a skull swim-thong so I’m excited about that. #WeReadsComics #ComicSky

Not sure who made this but thank you because I laughed so much

...the fuck, what?

...I'm gonna have to look up SOME kind of a walkthrough for the Gestral Beach thing. I've already driven myself up the wall on my own. There must be a better way.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Things have gotten to the point where, to discuss the events of the day with family, I have to pull comparison examples to movies, shows, and fiction that I know were previously all considered "too on the nose."

Hi 👋 I work in the ICU and often help patients find comfort in their final, dying moments and this is some king shit right here and I say he's innocent

what do you mean the dude who composed Expedition 33's soundtrack, the director just randomly found his soundcloud and offered him the job on the spot

I think other games should embrace Clair Obscur's mechanic of "hey man I'm 50 cents short can I kick your ass?"

The Combaticon Vortex was present, but is not considered a suspect at this time. ...but maybe Brawl.

*starts considering removing the larger hard drive from the PS4 to use elsewhere...but that would mean losing the save files, inducing more and more hours redownloading things...and it's easier to yank a hard drive from elsewhere, actually...* STOP, brain.

Okay, I didn't SUPER-stress test it, but the new system survived playing through a fight that made my old system overheat. So...YAY.

ok, for no reason but just because I think it's neat here's a thread of famous people with old gaming hardware or old computers. big 90s and Y2K vibes. Let's start with Shakira, Halle Berry and Bjork using a desktop computer

I FINALLY found SOME clue on how to capture a screenshot in PS5 Clair Obscur that doesn't wind up in "blurry pause screen"...need to remember that for tomorrow...

I'd forgotten. Just how. Much time. Setting up/downloading things. For a new computer. Can take. I'm going to send up hopes that this will all be done by...Tuesday?

My body: "Hey, you know, carrying a large and heavy box up two flights might be less of a hassle if you...took a break?" My muscles: "I mean, it's a good point." My brain: "Shut it."

Happy LV-426 Day for those who believe in our saviour Ellen Ripley.

Normalize the games industry taking chances on newcomers 👏

*has a few more hours in Clair Obscur* *actually pulls off a few successful parries instead of just dodges* ...oooOOOHHHhhhhHHHHhhh. Now I see what they were talking about. Am I good at it? No. Can I do it more frequently than 10 percent? Yes!

Share the last 4 games you've played and expose your gaming habits. Xenoblade Chronicles X Final Fantasy X Baldur's Gate 3 Star Ocean 4

Currently pondering just how much blame I should assign to Persona games for making me into an "I LOVE this RPG and these characters, but when do I get to start changing their OUTFITS?" person.

If you wanted nicer gays, you shouldn’t have been an asshole.

Hear no evil, hear all evil, hear some evil.

OK, I'm getting slightly better at dodge/parry in Clair Obscur...not GREAT, but I got farther than I thought I would tonight.

All I can really tell you about my short time with Clair Obscur so far is...god, I really suck at dodge/parry.

...I take it something happened to the Internet while I was taking an unscheduled nap...

I have completed several errands…so even though right now I kind of want to nod off I also want to start Clair Obscur. Dammit, with all my spelling errors I’m gonna have to go the Expedition 33 route.

Once again I face the difficulty of wanting to watch streamers play a game that just came out...but if I do I won't end up starting the game myself.

Mostly while playing Xenoblade Chronicles X DE I’ve learned I cannot make up my mind about what class I want to be.

I'm happy for everyone who got a Switch 2 squared away. I'm in the position I was in when the first Switch came out...which is not enough games I'm interested in to justify the purchase just now. We shall see what good news the year brings, I hope.

...no, seriously, I swear tech absolutely knows when there is replacement tech on the way because good lords...
