What great adrenaline there is in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 to be had.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 3h

YAY! Those beautiful basterds did it!

Once Upon A Katamari's appropriately ostentatious, energetic return is the best the series has been since the PlayStation 2 era.

A flawless summary of the writing in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 3h

Soooo, my head is all over the place after the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 tutorial, good and bad. I will say this though...

IT DIDN'T TAKE ME SIX FUCKING HOURS AND INVOLVE ME WADING THOUGH TEXT FOR MOST OF THAT!

Pokemon... You know what you did...

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 3h

Haven't Started Bloodlines 2 yet... But I need to say... God that is a boring icon.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 3h

I finally caught a Lopunny... You don't need to know more than that. But I got it, I won the game. There is no more training left to do. I am the winner of Pokémon.

Oh Shit, I guess if I want to be allowed to Criticize the nonstop Pokémon tutorial from hell I need to run for Political Office.

I would now like to announce my candidacy for City Comptroller. No idea what it is, just feels like it would be a fun thing to say demanding a table with no reservation.

Ninja Gaiden 4 and Vampire: The Masquarede - Bloodlines 2 are here.

Probably going to start with VTM because I made the mistake of checking metacritic this morning and its... what I expected...

Team Ninja is a top 5 game developer for me and Bloodlines is my Favorite RPG of all Time so... yeah...

Finished the first Chapter of Dispatch. Outstanding performance, great character, and a really fun narrative. Plus the visuals are great.

Gameplay slightly lacking in the context of the full experience but not by much. Definitely recommend.

I have never been a huge Bethesda fan but yeah, i agree for the most part. I think it becomes worse when their games really stick to a formula but includes the same issue.

My argument is always when Bethsda was the best they had mo competition for what they did. They do now.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 10h

I didn't hate Starfield nor did I love it, but so tired of this narrative. It got a lot of perfect or high scores that I hear nobody, not even their reviews, defend today.

I would argue if it wasnt a Bethesda game it would not have reviewed as high, not the other way around.

If Starfield Had Been Released by a Studio Other Than Bethesda 'It Would Have Been Received Differently,' Former Developer Says - IGN

Former Bethesda developer Bruce Nesmith has offered his thoughts on the divisive Starfield, insisting if it has been released by any other studio “it would have been received differently.”

I have stuff I should maybe get done... but it's 1 in the morning, I'm painfully sober, and I just don't wanna...

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 1d

If I can Play as Marceline the Vampire Queen... I have like 5 dollars in my bank account to contribute...

Eating is like so pointless anyway.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 1d

Whoa, the is like the opposite of the mission im currently on... Operating Sleep All Day And Occasionally Eat Pizza Off My Stomach.

Its a dangerous job... But somebody needs to do it.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 1d

So my copy of Ninja Gaiden 4 will not arrive till tomorrow. La sigh, fine, I will suppress my urges to commit murder and keep trying to be a Pokémon Master... I think... In Pokémon Legends Z-A.

Fuck... Just killed Urbain, so much for that plan.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, it is now... Because it broke me and drove me insane. Now up is twisted tea, and down is Ringly Brothers Circus.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 1d

Funny story. I have this on the Nintendo Switch. I can't FUCKING play it on the Nintendo Switch because their new virtual cards locked it to my original system, which I can't get onto, and I can't transfer it to my Nintendo Switch 2 until I can.

I said this virtual card stuff was gonna suck...

Been wanting to pick up Dustborn for a friend, so I will definitely be doing that! Also never got around to playing the game on the Steam Deck, so this is a good reminder I should do so!

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 2d

Because its the right thing to do. Demand an exit row! Demand... And exit... Row...

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 2d

Thats crazy. You are insane. The only right way to travel is throwing everything into a bag ten minutes before your Uber arrives then lose your driver's license and spend the next thirty minutes trying to find it

Lol

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 2d

Not to mention the fifty billion updates to the Nuzlock rules to work with newer games.

Zach Barbieri @dreadedgirlboss.bsky.social · 2d

Well thats the issue. They bake it so deeply into the set up that learning one thing takes forever and pokemon is the adventure so let me get to that quicker damn it!
