I wander around in forests, over think, and live many lives through books and videogames. Sometimes I do pixel and voxel art. Life's too short to hate. 🏳️‍🌈

Your desire for a platinum trophy made you play one of the worst games twice?

I try not to hate on wasps but they’re only marginally less terrible than a hornet, and only because I see more wasps than hornets. I appreciate their role in keeping my garden free of aphids, but I’m not an aphid and I don’t know why they attack me other than for their terrible manners.

Last of the wasps still alive to brave the weather for some snacks before they perish until next summer.

Either way, if a PS6 comes out in the next year or two then I don’t know how far it’ll push graphics. I’d reckon 4K path tracing 60fps? That’s where the PC will go for. Lighting is what changes the game quality, everything else notwithstanding.

Hey don’t get me wrong. More games accessible for more gamers, since we definitely see how prices have been this generation. Thing is when a game is being made cross gen, then the current gen hardware can’t really be pushed so far, so that’s why I feel we haven’t peaked yet. Maybe I’m wrong.

Loooooove that sweater

Bookshop keeper at a local mom-and-pop shop recommended that I read this, so I’m going to do that just today.

I feel like this generation did not reach the full potential yet, given the terrible time it was launched in and the years of cross-gen gaming.

Don’t think he’s so happy that I control when he snacks.

Sometimes my parents ask me to send the photo evidence that I’ve left my home and haven’t spent the whole week just reading books and playing video games.

I honestly cannot wait to see how the journey continues in the next story arc. The closest experience I had to this was in the FFXIV Shadowbringers finale. Kuro Games truly outdid themselves with concluding the Rinascita storyline. I am glad to have given this game a shot. What an experience!

Trying to find a non-spoiler screenshot so will just use one from the official trailer. My god. Is this what MCU fans felt like when they watched Avengers: Endgame? This has got to be one of the best and most epic story finales I have seen in a game in recent memory. ALL MY FEELINGS!

I am not against gotcha games per se (I play a couple), but MMOs are by default a time sink, so why make it more cumbersome by adding gatcha mechanics and energy limits that cripple any progress? Not surprised with the negative response.

Jarbles @jarofjuice.bsky.social · 6d

Honestly sometimes I just want bury my head in the sand.

Jarbles @jarofjuice.bsky.social · 6d

Looking forward!

Me, looking at the temperatures and looking outside and seeing how cold it is but also not raining, decided to pack an umbrella and just wear a T-shirt.

I was bummed out when the art book from @kurzgesagt.org was sold out within maybe an hour or so, but now it’s back up for preorder. Got the bundle with the calendar and so looking forward to it! Been a huge fan of them from day one 💛

Jarbles @jarofjuice.bsky.social · 7d

I played a bit of the first one when it was in early access. I usually don’t vibe with rogue games but I have an eye on this one. Do I need to have completed the first one to enjoy this?

Jarbles @jarofjuice.bsky.social · 7d

That Pikmin trailer is adorable 🥺
