He did the radio station before the game.

“Courage means being scared but doing it anyway” seems like a pretty succinct way of putting it I think.

My wierd compliment (if it can be called that) was when I was in high school English class. My teacher noticed how competent I was and how I was the only one to consistently raise my hand when he asked a question. He gave us a research paper to do and I got an F on it, exclusively because I fucked up the citations. He said the content was good, but he had to mark me way down due to improper citing. He said “I know you can do better than this.”

Is that a complement? Either way, I think about that interaction and scenario a lot even though I haven’t been in high school for well over a decade.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!

Name of the restaurant should have been included somewhere.

Hating elves

These are great QOL changes. I wonder why they waited for the DLC to release them instead of doing it with the colluseum update.

I don’t get it 😕

Something like this

You don’t have to confirm or deny, but it sounds like you work for the navy.

Would you say that common sense changes with the generations? What was once common is no longer, and what was uncommon becomes common?

I used to work at a toy factory making plastic Draculas.

There were only two of us, so I had to make every second count.

It’s so cool that the voice actors are willing to do goofy stuff like this for the fans.

I can’t help but notice that scout’s voice actor is never to be seen though. I thought he was into doing custom voice lines for SFM shorts?

I can’t remember the brand, but the packaging looked like human food except for a very small piece of text in the corner that mentions its dog food.

It tasted like it just needed a little bit of salt or maybe ketchup, but was otherwise pretty good.

I’ve also knowingly had wet and dry dog food since then, just because i already took the plunge accidentally so how bad could it be?

Again, I can’t remember the brands, but dry dog food is alright if you’ve literally nothing else. I’m sure some seasoning would help. I would recommend wet dog food though only because it’s easier to season. Tastes mostly how it smells, just blander.

Triple I as in triple Indie? That’s cute as hell, I love it. I’m all for III over AAA.

Iron Pineapple on YouTube has a series called Steam Dumpster Diving where he reviews Souls-like games in the style that you mention.

It is unfortunately limited to Souls-like games even though he himself admits that his definition of Souls-like is very loose (if there is a parry system and a dodge button, its a souls-like. Bonus points for having a bonfire mechanic). He also reviews new and old games, and I know you specifically mentioned new or upcoming games. He does skew towards newer releases however.

Yeah, Ori is emotional but there isn’t much to attach you to the characters if that’s what you’re looking for.

Might I recommend Witcher 3? I didn’t play the other ones, but I found myself getting attached to the characters by the end all the same.

Edit: just saw you didn’t care for Witcher 3 much.

I haven’t played it myself, but I’ve seen playthroughs of The Last of Us. Even though there’s a sequel, I’ve heard the first one is better. Anyway, if engaging story is what you’re after, I’d check that out.

I’ve also never played this one, but I’ve heard SpecOps: The Line is also a gutpunch.

It’s a bit of a commitment, but I always found the Halo series to be kinda emotional to me, but then I also grew up with it and got invested in the characters. Your mileage may vary with Halo.

Final recommendation would be Ori and the Blind Forest if you’re into platformers.

Agreed. By the end, i was just looking up the solutions so i can just figure out what the heck happened on the island, only to be met with the biggest let-down in my personal gaming history. Game went from an 9/10 to a 3/10 just on the ending alone.

Cubans have the antonym to that:

Aserlo como los blancos “Do it like white people”

Do it properly 😜

“Can’t see the forest through the trees” is also an English idiom meaning the same thing
