Maybe you have an inner edgy 16 year old!

I don't really care for Keanu Reeves  8)

Blasphemy! But he is Jon Wick!

Played about 60 hours of Hollow Knight.  

I am basically in the endgame. 

Doing a bunch of the side quests, beating some optional bosses. 

Not sure if I'll platinum the game, but I might. Kind of depends on how big of a pain some of the last items are.

I might swap back and forth between Hollow Knight and something else. 

May just call it a day with HK. 


Played a little bit of Oblivion remaster. 

Looks great. 
UI isn't very good. 

A big thing in Skyrim is that every person very obviously has their stuff in their inventory. You can take anyone's clothes and almost anything they're obviously holding. I think there are a few exceptions, but it largely works. 

Doesn't seem to be the case in Oblivion. Able to take some clothes but not others

Wait what, oblivion cheats with inventory? I assumed it was the same system as skyrim. Lame!

I don't feel particularly grabbed by any game right now.

I played like an hour of Fallout 4 - and I don't mind shooting games, but I feel like I get 10x more joy out of sword fighting - which I usually primarily do melee in my RPGs - Souls, Skyrim - even if I do eventually use other mechanics. 

I'm not 100% sure how much time I'll put into Fallout.  I don't feel driven to keep playing it.

I asked Copilot about the differences with inventory between Skyrim and Oblivion, and it immediately talked about what I was seeing - and it talks about Oblivion having a less dynamic inventory system.

But I haven't seen any reddit posts or articles talking about it, which is weird to me.

Decided to play Uncharted 1 Remaster. About halfway done.


I feel like the Remaster probably isn't as polished as the original...  Been some little issues I've had. Like Nate not grabbing a ledge a few times.

I feel like I am enjoying it more than I have on most playthroughs though.

I've always loved how green Uncharted 1 is. It is so nice.

The water parts are still terrible.

Some of the level designs are kind of hilarious.
Like climbing a 300 foot cliff to come down to a 80 ft tall boat.
Or shooting a padlock that's somehow on the inside of the only way to get in/out.

I love Uncharted 1 so much. It's not better than the others, but it was going for a slightly different thing.

I liked the water levels!

Uncharted 1 still felt influenced by the PS2 era type of games. At least that's how I remember it. 

The next ones ushered in a new generation fully

Uncharted 2 is just built different.

Why does it seem so impossible to get games like this today.

It is crazy. Uncharted 2 was so advanced for its time but even nowadays where an indie team can pull off the same tech and production, it's just such a high quality package.

I think 90% of writers and directors just really suck at their jobs  :P

I fricken love Uncharted 2.

I think it's been like 5 years since I made my sister play, and it's probably been like 8 years since I've played myself all the way through.

It's so fricken good. Like there's a good reason it's in my top 3 games.

I love how the game controls, and I'm not even sure what it is. It's one of those games where walking and climbing just feels good. Uncharted 1 and 3 didn't quite make it for me.

And the game is such a ride.
Falling down buildings, shooting helicopters, the train level. The game just never lets up.

And the game has so much uniqueness. Like the Tibet village where no one speaks English, where you can pet the yaks.

And I love the visuals. There's like a semi realistic, yet there's a painting feel to the visuals.

And I love so much of the scenery. Uncharted 1 is mostly like the green fortress and it's very nice. But here we got mountains, we got great greenery on the train level, we got museums, we got so many wonderful locations.

It would be impossible for me to overstate how much I love about this game.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Also it's a little bit funny, but Uncharted 2 probably has more things from the PS2 games. The part of the train level where you are in that big gun shooting at the helicopter, is straight out of Jak 2/3.

I think you love Uncharted 2!

It was essentially my first ps3 game. So amazing at the time. And I've replayed it a bunch, was my first plat.

I don't know if it'd hit the same today. I think I've changed too much.
