I saw Belle Friday. Film overall was slightly disappointing, but still a good watch, I just expected more of it. The problem is anything that happens inside the vitual world, which is a large part of the film.. The visuals aren't interesting, and the story is superficial. There are interesting things going on, but this is is all in the real world, and unfortunately they don't show quite enough of that until the end. The ending was pretty good though. That said, I'm increasingly growing more fond of the soundtrack, I may actually get the CD.

(we finally got a tiny bit of snow)

Missed (?) the Nia pre-order (somehow). Deadline hasn't even passed yet! <sigh>

I'm not sure my computer will run this new version.. May not be able to play it at launch. Sure am going to try though!

When I first of this title, I was hoping for something similar to their previous games (as I haven't played the Playstation games). But I like visual novels so I'm looking forward to this as well. I'm also a sucker for their artstyle, so that helps.

That seems so obvious in hindsight.. I love the idea.

That's funny, GamesCom apparently just announced they would be organizing a physical festival again. https://www.gamescom.global/press-creator/press-releases/press-releases-of-gamescom/?fairnumber=0480&fairyear=2022&pressrelease=2&language=EN (US)&abbreviation=EN (US)&datei=pm_0480_2022_2_EN (US).xml

It's a dumb name, but I'm a sucker for these games, eventhough I'm playing very little in general currently. But I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I never watch soaps, but I'm familiar with Neighbours. So I googled the theme for some nostalgia.. It seems there are quite a lot of different versions at this point, and I'm only familiar with the original one. Apparently it's been a while since I've come across Neighbours on television..

I don't. But anyone else can watch it on Pornhub.

Epic are acquiring Bandcamp, for fuck's sake. I don't want Epic to have my data. I'm not using Bandcamp much, but wasn't opposed to using it more in the future. I've bought some vinyl in the past, directly from artists who use Bandcamp, and this would include a digital version. https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/news/bandcamp-joining-epic-games-to-support-fair-open-platforms-for-artists-and-fans

So I believe there's a war going on.

I have signed up for the Nijmegen 4 days Marches (apparently better known internationally under the dumb name "walk of the world") for the first time. Over 45000 people from various countries come to Nijmegen to walk 50 km (30 miles) on each of the 4 days of the event. https://www.4daagse.nl/en There will be a draw, in April I'll hear if I can actually participate. The event itself is in July.

I've only seen the Spider-man post-credit trailer and now this one, and hadn't looked into rumours until yesterday. I already liked the earlier trailer, but reading all those rumours is getting me excited. Really looking forward to May. Though I should go watch the What If series before then.

Cool, I'll put it on my wishlist. it doesn't look quite as cool as the MOC I've seen earlier, but it still looks cool, and doesn't seem to break the bank either. I like the robot design.

Yeah I do it too, replaying a chapter, but I refuse to play on anything other than classic mode. In Xcom, I also refuse to play on anything but iron man mode, although I'll let soldiers actually die there (unless it's very early game), but soldiers in Xcom are generic and more easily replacable. In Fire Emblem, I do it for the challenge. Fire Emblem, well turnbased strategy games in general, are puzzle games to me, and if you can just do whatever all challenge is lost. So I like to have all my guys survive not just for story reasons, but also the actual strategy gameplay, I really have to think how I go about a map. That said, for roleplaying reasons I should probably let a few deaths be permanent some time!

Would that it were so simple. My CRT TV broke some time ago, and I actually did! A lot of stuff is in boxes right now, including Wii stuff, which is what I can play Chrono Trigger on, so at the moment there's no practical way for me to play the game. Though it's not exactly a priority! Well if I got kudos every time I haven't heard of something then.. wait what are kudos, can I eat them?

No I've seen defenders. I'm not too sure about the order of stuff that comes afterwards.

I've got every single one of them, but a lot of the older ones don't look great. The worst one is Super Mario Bros 2, the game that came with my NES. There was a cashback action where you get 7.50 guilders (roughly 3 euros) back if you sent in the barcode. Copying didn't occur to me so I fysically cut it out from the box. I was am such a dumbass.

Roughly my reaction.

Problem is I like dare Devil and Jessica Jones, but if I'm going to finish it I'm going to watch everything. And Punisher was a chore. I'm also not in the mood to watch.. I think 5 shows (?) in a short amount of time. Aside from finishing Punisher 1, from the top of my head I think there's a Dare Devil & Jessica Jones s3, and a Luke Cage & Iron Fist & Punisher s2.

Ugh. May renew for a month, apparently they're moving the marvel shows to Disney. And I still want to finish them at some point. But I don't want to just get a month Disney just to watch them. I stopped watching right before the last episode of Punisher if I recall correctly.

WonFes got totally forgotten with al the Direct excitement. This is the only first party merchandise I can find: Plenty of game merchandise though, but a lot for Playstation fans. I'll post some others later, and perhaps it's good to have a separate WonFes thread, despite the fact I created a general collectibles thread a long time ago.

Apparently it includes a boardgame.
