I’ve been loosely following the drama surrounding the Switch 2, otherwise known as the SwIItch and a bunch of other cute names. I was never going to get one because one, I don’t do consoles*, and especially not hand-held ones. I do all my gaming on a PC, which is so much more comfortable (to… Continue Reading
I have more to say about The Duskbloods and the state of FromSoft in general. Here is my post about my misgivings from yesterday. This will be the last post…for now. Someone in the Discord I’m in said that it seems that the game won’t be an exclusive forever. People guess that it’s six months–I… Continue Reading
I’m getting pretty sick of people saying you can’t criticize The Duskbloods if you’re a “real” fan of FromSoft. First of all, don’t tell me what I can and can’t criticize. Anything is fair game. Nothing is sacred and nothing is perfect. I’m not mad about the fact that the game is multiplayer. Well, I… Continue Reading
Talking more about The Duskbloods (FromSoft), let’s expand out for a minute. The announcement of the new Switch 2 coincided with the president’s announcement of the new tariffs he was enacting. I’m not going to get political in this post, but I will note that the tariff announcement affects everything, so of course that includes… Continue Reading
Well. I have things to say about the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 announcement thing. I didn’t think I would because I was not planning on getting a Nintendo Switch 2 (still am not), nor do I have a Switch. Back during the beginning of the pandemic, I thought about getting one because of Animal Crossing:… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Balatro (LocalThunk) and life in general. How am I going to tie them together? You shall see. I talked at length yesterday about the challenges in the game and how the last one wrecked me. I do want to start with a positive. I just did a casual run with the… Continue Reading
I can’t quit Balatro (LocalThunk). Every time I think I’m out, something pulls me back in. In fact, I am thinking about buying Monster Hunter Wilds (Capcom) just to tear me away from Balatro. And because everyone is loving it so I have some FOMO. But I kept going back to Balatro. I was working on doing… Continue Reading
At this point, I’m just amused by my neverending review of Balatro (LocalThunk). We all know that I will write another post about Balatro at some point because that is how I do. In fact, I am going to write one now and give my completely arbitrary rating for this game. I explained my rating… Continue Reading
Ok. I promise that this is the last post about Balatro (LocalThunk)*. In the last post, I talked about the grindiness of playing for higher stakes wins and *SPOILER* chasing my white whale, Stuntman (the last joker I needed to complete my deck). Now, I’m trying to do two of the last five achievements I have–well, one of… Continue Reading
I’m back for my fourth and definitely last post about Balatro (LocalThunk). I am sure I will be able to get everything I want to say written in this poist .Easy-peasy! (That’s sarcasm in case you can’t tell, given that this is the fourth post on the subject.) And, of course, there will be *SPOILERS*… Continue Reading
