I've continued making progress in Final Fantasy XVI and... So far, it is a super interesting CGI movie with a littke bit of gameplay sparkled around, I guess to make sure you're still paying attention 😅

And interested in the story as I am, I can't help but wonder... Is all the game going to be like this, or will I get to explore at my own pace at some point? I've "played" for 6h now, and it feels like 5 of those hours have been cinematics rather than actual gameplay.

Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2 on PS+...

My backlog keeps growing faster than I can tackle it 🤣

@therealahall Much as I love their later albums, I still believe Destroy Erase Improve is one of their best works. It's very influenced by thrash metal, and it slaps super hard!

@ehproque Ese es solo el libro 4 de lo que actualmente es una pentalogía pero acabará siendo una saga de 10 libros.

El tercero, por ejemplo, es algo más corto:

Last night my wife and I attended a dumpling making masterclass at a local restaurant, and it was pretty fun!

So moving forward I'll be doing these at home 🥰

If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer. They're going to charge $249k/year for it.

That's how capitalism works.

Well, they're going to charge $20k/year at first, during the land rush phase. Wait for some competitors to die off. Keep it low a while longer to kill off the incumbents. Then it'll jump up a bunch, before finally being even more expensive than the original thing.

A reminder that we all have terrible days, Charles Darwin too.

I hate every wave of the ocean.
-Charles Darwin to W. D. Fox 15 Feb 1836

Oh my God how I do hate species & varieties.
-Charles Darwin to J. D. Hooker, 11 Mar 1858

 I am very tired, very stomachy & hate nearly the whole world.
-Charles Darwin to Thomas Huxley, 10 Sep 1860

I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything.
-Charles Darwin to Charles Lyell, 1 Oct 1861

I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees.
-Charles Darwin to John Lubbock, 3 Sep 1862

I am languid & bedeviled & hate writing & hate everybody.

The only problem with playing TTYD is that I'm emulating it on the Steam Deck, which is usually being used by my kids so...

I'm starting Final Fantasy XVI for those times when I can't get my hands on the Deck.

A white card with plain text, without drawings:

"Of all the weird things I've foumd online, you're my favourite"

@irgndsondepp Aaah, I thought you were talking about the final boss of Paper Mario TTYD!

Yeah, Baby Bowser is a really fun boss fight!

2026-02-15

@the_skotts That's happened to me a couple of times with the game too... But I intend to follow through this time!

2026-02-15

@irgndsondepp I look forward to facing it!

2026-02-15

@doubleaa Sure, whatever I post about it, it will be behind a CW 😊

I know many people consider that after X years any plot twist is no longer worthy of spoilers, but I don't see it that way and I always use the tags 😅

the fediverse is just a bunch of neurodivergents building their own internet so they don't have to talk to the other internet
