What makes it a good day so far?
I don't actually speak any German. English has a few loanwords (and is itself half derived from German) but that's the extent of my knowledge sans Google.
The weather's kind of gloomy right now. I'm hoping it clears up later 'cause I have lots of plans today. I need to pick up my friend in a couple hours so we can go to lunch, and then we're seeing a play afterwards. Then my little sister is throwing a barbecue back at our house so I'm going to try and make it back for part of that. But in the mean time I have to get this house straightened out because the homeowners are coming back today.
Oh, that would drive me insane. I prefer knowing more or less when the party is going to end and I'll be able to duck out. As much as I like hanging out with people, I also need a lot of personal space. But I'm glad you had fun!
Depression? Sounds like depression. Sounds like my entire life

I've been doing it for some time now, usually I know but there have been a few times where I bought a game I already had.
Gratz.
Neither do I, but I just think German is a fun language. It feels so direct with the hard T's and such.
Today is great because of the lack of things I need to do, haha. The sun is finally out and it's warming up (the past couple of days have been 30-40's). All I have to focus on today is finishing up this app feature. Then next week I can focus on to packing and preparing for my move. I like finishing things and putting them out of my mind, so I'm excited to finish building this feature.
Enjoy the day out and about!
I didn't catch onto this at first, but it is damn adorable.
One of my side projects is a little side-scroller game where you play as "Godzilla" rampaging through a city, but the head is replaced by a photo you take of yourself or your friend. It has dorky childish style graphics, so this reminds me of it.

The 100 is finally getting gud!
Anxiously excited, yes. I miss living in the city, so it will be nice to be back in a bigger city surrounded by activity.
Up until very recently though I have stayed pretty nomadic you could say. Never kept much around, and I tried to stay out of long commitments. Now though I have this apartment and all of my belongings, friends, and baggage that it all entails. I can't just pack up a suitcase and be gone anymore. It's a different experience, but not necessarily bad.

Huh.
Yeah, I'm so entrenched where I live that I'll probably never leave. Or at least I can't fathom it. But I still try to visit other places from time to time. I don't think it's healthy to sacrifice all of your breadth for depth, but fortunately cities can be pretty broad!

*goes for a walk while it's still day*
Yeah, to be clear that's what I used to do. It made moving super easy. But now I'm moving for work specifically after being in the same area for ~5 years and getting the whole experience of a "normal" person moving.

What should my walking music be
They don't want to play uncle matt ball. One is playing Minecraft the other is watching MLP stuff on Youtube.

It's also funny how far out of their way they go to spoil every plot detail of movies they've seen, it's a good thing I don't really care about that kind of thing

It is. I'm working my way out of it but that part never really went away. Not quite as suicidal so that's an improvement.
I finished UC4. Now to continue the adventure.
Amazing that the whole series was a prequel to Crash Bandicoot. It makes so much sense now.
I have projects that I SHOULD be passionate about but I don't really feel it so I have a weird pseudo form of passion filling in for the time being.
Thanks again Ceallach, just played it for about an hour. I completely forgot that it was a metroidvania, which is pretty neat.
Snow? What.
I didn't know people could stalk my followings. No, though, I followed SOB because I liked listening to her australian accent and it was humorous watching her get destroyed in Dark Souls 3. She was stuck on Abyss Watchers for days.
Oh right, they changed the new one to a Metroidvania, right? Because I remember the old one being a straight up platformer.

Yeah I was expecting action platformer. It's pretty fun though!

I wish people would shut the fuck up and let me sleep
Some thoughts on UC4:
I really liked that final boss fight
It gave me what I was asking for the entire game
The AI partners were actually useful to some extent
The cinematic platforming moments were better integrated with the rest of the gameplay
The series got a nice conclusion but not one so airtight that they couldn't do another game if they wanted to though I'd prefer that they didn't
They didn't overuse the bullet sponge enemies, at least not initially
I was invested in where the mystery was going even though I figured it out before the reveal
It probably had the most unique mystery of any of the games despite being the most basic with its "we're finding pirate treasure" storyline
I appreciated the little back and forth dialogue although at times I'd end up going too fast and the characters would cut themselves off to say something else
I questioned the villain's motive initially but as I kept going it started making more sense
the puzzles were a little easier than the other Uncharted games, I felt
I also felt like there were fewer of them, but I don't know if there actually were less
I wouldn't mind a crossover where a character like Nadine just showed up in the Tomb Raider universe.

I wish I could get past RE4's barfy controls, because I honestly love everything else about the game.

I'm love/hate on it. It's fine on its own but it ruined the franchise and took it in a shitty action oriented direction

I can't wait to see the raging dumpster fire that will be RE7.
I'M await with baited breath on how badly Stockholm Syndrome will rob that fandom of critical thought.

If it's anything like Revelations 2 then it'll be great.
And if REmake 2 is anything like REmake then that will also be great.
It's called Dead Space!

no dogs though
Just saw captain america. Fun movie. Shaky cam was awful tho and it seemed like the entire plot was just an excuse for a series of fights (which really is what it was but they did a bad job at disguising it)
Spidey and antman were the best part of the movie and
was a crappy villain
Also with how the mcu is set up at this point every character that they dont properly introduce makes you wonder "did I skip the movie where that person came from?"

I'd give you advice but I'm not over that either. Finally started to enjoy games again and that's only somewhat
Doesn't seem like there will be accumulation fortunately
I agree that
Zemo
I understand. I appreciate knowing someone who can relate, though.
No but there are zombie babies and zombie children.
Why were there so many babies on a mining ship?
Edit: Oh, there WERE dogs
Most of the other villains were pretty bad too tbh
I'm not sire if I agree that a stronger villain would ruin it. The main issue I had is that
his motivation is incredibly generic and the final fight was incredibly contrived for someone who put together an elaborate plan to get to that point. It was a pretty big letdown
But some more good things: it made me like falcon more and put Hawkeye back in the role that works best for him
Oh and not so good: I don't care about vision
Also at the beginning had the best black widow action sequence. First time I was convinced she could hang with the super powered people
Vision's just kinda there. It doesn't help that his character was never really fleshed out that much besides being an "I love life" robot. *cue the Doctor Who speech about humanity's potential*
I'm happy with their introduction of Black Panther though.
Made me wanna start comics
