Maaaan, those are all great food-related names!

I just booted up my old copy of X for the first time in years and, surprise, they’re all named after mythological figures and beasts

Icarus the Hawlucha
Aspidochelon the Blastoise
Bishamon the Bisharp
Albus the Delphox
Lempo the Xerneas
Orichalcos the Golurk
Faunus the Gogoat
Poseidon the Vaporeon
And Louie the Goodra

God… Naming Pokémon really is great.

Edit: OH MY GOD, I NAMED MY SNORLAX BACHUS AND MY MUDSDALE SLEIPNIR AND MY DECIDUEYE ARTEMIS, I AM A GENIUS

It’s okay if you feel differently and don’t like him, but I really want to give Arthur Morgan a hug. I think he’s a good boy.

I don’t want to finish that game, chiefly because i can feel it’s going to visit some kind of horror upon him and I just can’t have that. So my RDR2 is now just an “arthur morgan goes riding around the countryside” simulator.

If I can aimlessly speculate about RDR3 for a moment, I wouldn’t mind if that game actually ditched a lot of the overtly western trappings, was set in the 1920’s and started with Jack running shine down in Lemoyne. I think it’d be a fun way for the game to differentiate itself and apart from the first Mafia game, I don’t think the prohibition era has been too widely covered in the AAA space.

I love riding around saying hello to strangers and petting my horse in RDR2. I don’t know if I’ll ever actually complete the game.

When I play online my mates like to commit crimes so our honour goes down so I will log on myself and do nice acts to compensate.

Do you remember that game you used to play a lot of a long time ago? That game sure was great. Games have changed since then and have gotten “better” in some quantifiable ways, but there really was something special about that game at the time :slight_smile:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a heck of a lot of fun. It’s made me get out of my comfort zone to go to tournaments and has made me closer to friends in my neighborhood that I didn’t really see too often before. It’s also a wonderful party game if people understand the basics and you turn on all the items!

Overwatch is an extremely fun game, it’s okay if you don’t like it or are tired of Blizzard’s constant fumbling, but I love it.

And watching OWL is great, if often indecipherable. Go Titans!

(I don’t actually have a favorite team, but I live in BC, so the Titans become my go-to favorite team through proximity)

I like seeing people draw fanart of games even the ones I haven’t played.

I think audiologs are great because you hear characters voice personal thoughts. People forgetting email passwords is relatable.

Audio logs are the way to go, don’t like reading entries at all. But developers always put them before a situation where they’re interrupted, like a cut-scene haha.

I like them if I can keep playing while I listen.

I got mad when Tomb Raider was like NO STAY ON THIS BORING SCREEN

Remember that scene in Mass Effect 1 where you talk to Sovereign? That was a fucking cool bit.

The ME trilogy was pretty alright.

I really like it when Mario jumps in a video game so I’m glad he gets to do it a lot.

Eh… Videogames. Some are good… some are bad… You win some, you lose some. It’s video games.

“There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign!”

“We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything.”

“We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.”

“My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation. Independent, free of all weakness. You cannot even grasp the nature of our existence”

So badass.

These are very good but make me very sad thinking about a few years ago when Junji Ito did two Pokemon illustrations that were reported to be coming out as t-shirts.
