Well, I guess this game no longer qualifies for my game clearing list. I'll fix that when I get home.

I mentioned having once dated someone to a family friend while trying to explain my asexuality. Her immediate response: "was it a guy or a girl?" as if that was the part that mattered.

Because as much as I love Kansas City, almost all of the rest of Kansas and Missouri *suck.*

Alie - Monster Catgirl 🏳️‍⚧️ @aliecat.bsky.social · 1d

I have a standing offer with a friend to help me out if I ever want to move back, but I'm conflicted. I'd feel like i was imposing while I was working to get back on my feet, for one. But do I really want to move to fucking Missouri?

I don't know if it was the shitty circumstances that led to my move, or if it was COVID, or how my social life developed locally, or whatever. But I never got as comfortable here. And it's not like it's dislike Green Bay.

I lived in Kansas City for 15 years, but I also graduated from high school in 2008. I moved to Green Bay at the very beginning of 2015. I have spent more of my adult life in Green Bay than I did in Kansas City, but somehow KC still feels more like home than Green Bay does.

It is so unbelievably tone deaf of Sega to cast this fucker in a Like a Dragon game. But, it's also not particularly surprising considering the state of Japanese gender politics.

I just realized this site may not have heard boo about the Remove Kagawa movement.

Long story short, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is coming out next year and one of the actors hired to replace an original creation in face and voice is one Teruyuki Kagawa, a sex pest.

I use EDHREC, but the way I build decks is that I build them out of my existing collection and upgrade them over time. The problem is that my LGS has the highest average play level in the area, so it's hard to test things without having a solid start to begin with.

I need to figure out which Final Fantasy card I want to build around. But my deck building method takes time and is hard to test at my LGS's typical play level.

My current favorite decks are Jeskai Soldiers, Thrunn, and Pantlaza.

The core design of Destiny is inherently noncommital and the game is inherently flawed because of it.

And that's not even getting started on the game's on-boarding problem. Vaulting the Red War without something to take its place was a huge mistake. The game needs a campaign mode to build around.

Alie - Monster Catgirl 🏳️‍⚧️ @aliecat.bsky.social · 1d

To add to this: I don't even remember the last time I played Destiny. And it just makes me sad, rather than angry. So much of Destiny's potential is squandered for various reasons. But the only that's stuck out the longest is that it's trying to be an MMO without being an MMO.

Alie - Monster Catgirl 🏳️‍⚧️ @aliecat.bsky.social · 1d

I say sometimes Destiny because Bungie really has fucked up a lot of things about it in ways that could have been avoided, as well as ways inherent to its noncommital MMO-lite design.

If we ever see Destiny 3, they should make it online-optional like Borderlands.

Same with a hypothetical The Division 3. Both existing Divison games could have easily been online-optional since the only time you can even see other random people outside of matchmaking is in safe houses. There's really no point to forcing online in The Division.

If there is anything that I've learned from Reddit, it's that some fandoms will stop enjoying a thing, but refuse to stop engaging with it in favor of becoming as toxic as humanly possible.

Online "fans" of Halo, The Last of Us, Insomniac Spider-Man, and sometimes Destiny are *insufferable.*

I like that the solo neck is longer than the regular one. That helps alleviate one of the problems I have with the CRKD Les Paul: It's too damn small.

And that's not saying that I have no complaints about Pritzker, but then again, the people I'm referring to think I want a "purity test."

To all of the assholes lecturing the trans community about how we have to support Newsom:

Here's Pritzker standing up to Trump without the AI slop and without throwing trans people under the bus.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

I'd say that I'd buy one if you ever tried bringing it back, but that is simply a promise I can't make under my current financial situation.

I love Emma and some of my favorites of hers are when she talks about these kinds of movies.

Alie - Monster Catgirl 🏳️‍⚧️ @aliecat.bsky.social · 2d

I find these movies to be fascinating, but I also don't want to sit through them because they're pretty much universally awful. They're just a really good in depth look at how their target audience views the world.
