ghostrunner has insta death?

oh man,.. i think i might pull that out of my backlog then.  it looks really cool but...


i bounced on super mario galaxy 2 due to over menus.  it's a been a long time but after beating a level:
- they bring you back to that ship thing
- you have to walk to the other side to navigate the ship
- you navigate though a menu to select a level
- i think you had to make a choice or a confirmation to start a level

it was like 3 minutes of completely pointless boredom shoved in between every level. 

I hate dumb stuff like that.  I hate when devs waste my time. And it's surprising how many devs do it. 

Ufc 4 bugged the shame out of me with something similar. There were "challenges" that if I compete them, I get a very small amount of currency to unlock cosmetics. But everytime you redeem a challenge, it loads up an xp bar that I can't skip. It takes just a few seconds. But when I need to constantly redeem multiple ones it gets very tiring very fast. I stopped redeeming them all together 

And yes ghost runner is insta death. Apparently there is a mode where you get killed in two shots. But I couldn't find it in the settings so I deleted.

dang I tried it again after doing some LOST and it made it farther. Around 5GB instead of 3.4.  Then I cleaned it with cloth and 50/50 alc/water and it still stopped at 3.4GB

Sorry to hear about your troubles.  

Figure anything out?

Also when you said "half nude woman," I expected something a bit different lol. Not a fully nude half woman.

I expected it to be interpreted that way, but I didn't think it was important enough to clarify.

Oh, Emily Rudd isn't related to Paul Rudd lol. I just assumed.

When i first saw the name i jumped to the same conclusion.  Rudd isn't not soo common of a name and nepotism is soo common in hollywood.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Also. 
Dark Souls 1 has a boss that is a half nude woman (the bottom half is a terrifying spider).
Dark Souls 2 has a similar boss, except she's a scorpion. 

I thought there was some hot boss I remembered seeing from one of the souls games. Like she was covered in butterflies maybe idk. I guess I must be thinking of malenia but she does not at all look like I remembered her looking. I remembered her being hot and stunning, not bleh. I'll just blame it on being super thirsty in the past.

Pacific Drive, just a few days ago. I discovered it was a rougelike car game. No thanks. I have zero interest in doing the same thing over and over.

Star Wars Outlaws, yesterday. Just felt so bland and insultingly boring. First mission just had her saying ~"I need the flux spark so Im gunna steal it, then I can go to space and have fun. But I can't have fun till I steal the flux spark!"

gotcha.

i'm not into the home integration stuff.  i don't need help turning on a light and i'm very not comfortable with amazon filling my house with a bunch of listening devices and especially cameras.  i actually unplug alexa most of the time. 

i'm also not into the "personal assistantant" stuff.  like i can kind of get the alure in general but amazon is the last company i would want to go with for that kind of thing.  all of amazon's software is pretty much craptastic.  their music player sucks.  their video service sucks.  i've heard google's nest isn't  great but at least they have competent calendar and email services that would make the personal assistant thing useful outside of my kitchen.

I have my own raspberry Pi set up for everything. Alexa just handles voice commands.

I got into it because it is really nice to just pop on a wifi smartoutlet instead of having to wire a physical light switch into the circuit. And these are string lights over the patio so they might not stick around for that many years.
