I wanted to be a game developer for as long as I could remember. I remember passing out on the carpet floor because I needed a quick nap inbetween coding sessions when I was 15.
I went through uni for comp sci and graduated and got a few offers. All the gaming companies (some really big names) I got offers with paid half as much as the others. I decided my dream wasn’t worth it, it’s weird.
Wait, co-op RPG? Split-Screen Co-op?
I’ll buy it!
I mean, I’ll need to find a friend but I’ll think about that later.
The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.
Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.
I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.
There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.
I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.
I have a friend that’s Hindu and he told me his “friends” put ground beef into the lamb mince as a “prank”. He didn’t easily forgive them either. I don’t think that’s on this level, but I feel as though you should be able to feel out your friends enough to pull a prank. If you can’t really tell, then you shouldn’t mess with them.
That being said, six years is a REALLY long time 🤣
If you’re upset with my feedback, adjust your expectations.
💩 take
I saw a video where people have been freezing their rice … which is something I need to start doing because I just wind up eating way too much rice for meals.
I don’t know, I’ve had friends that hate turned-based games and refuse to play any anime based games and just adored this game so much that I couldn’t get them to talk about anything else for months.
I used to love turn-based RPGs but I kinda fell out of love with them over the years … I’m gonna say around FFX. I actually enjoyed Expedition 33 less than these guys that typically play CoD and Factorio.
That is a very fair statement.
Not yet. Although some people say it’ll be close to the price of an Index although it’s still all speculation.
I’m reminded of an old Simpsons episode: https://youtu.be/UUc9Ojfxq3E?t=106
Bart: “How much do those yoyos cost?”
Milhouse: “I don’t care”
That’s kind of how I feel about this.
What you’re describing makes me kinda miss being a regular at a pub.
Post-COVID and moving to Canada … I find that I stay at home all the time nowadays. The bars I go to here are more establishments and have less of the home feel I used to get in Europe.
I only heard about it through a YouTube recommendation. Very cool features. I may give it a whirl next.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Zorin OS.

Everyone I’ve recommended CO to and took me up on it – loved it. But I have other friends that have heard me talk about the game and I just “know” it’s not for them and if they play, they’ll be ranting about the mechanisms and other things.
For me, it made me wish I was French :P I love the aesthetic, story, and characters for sure. It’s different than FF to me because it seemed like FF got embarrassed by its turn-based gameplay over time and it feels like CO embraced it fully.
Also, I heard the fanbase can be rather toxic as well. Once again, that sometimes happens with more popular games too. I was watching a few streamers that said they’d want to put it as their GOTY but some fans were just doing a lot of bullying. After playing the game, I understand their passion for it … but it can sour other people’s expectations and experiences for sure.
Americans saw this and said, “this is fine”
Update: I’m using the term “Americans” as the majority of American voters in 2024.
Is it any surprise? Any game that’s more popular gets a lot more contrarians.
I’m expecting to pay around what the Index costs. I can get a Quest for quite a lot less but I’m refusing all of that Meta business.
I like my frame because it faces a set of windows and with all my other tvs … I would have to close the blinds to see the tv in the day time.
However, the software is straight garbage. I didn’t even know about the favourite thing … every time I change source it would spend like a minute or two trying to figure out if it could connect to it for no reason.
