Bio
My Very Brief Bio
Male, 31 years old. (So I'm practically dead, as we speak.)
Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)
But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)
My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)
Hope you have a wonderful day!

@Dark Cloud Just PM me your Switch friend code & I'll add you again.
So I feel like a fucking insane person. But I randomly downloaded "Super Fowlst" on my phone, (the dev that made those "Dadish" platformers) and it's so adorable. Help me.

I refuse to go back to the grind of Warframe.
I don't blame you. I'm redownloading it. But you probably won't see me playing it, until the weekend is past. So hopefully you'll manage to not grow bored of it by then. :P
Going to a friend's wedding in a week & another friend just had a child. So this month has plenty to celebrate. (And I'll be visiting my sisters in early August.) So, fingers crossed that the good news keeps on coming...

@Dark Cloud You underestimate how underwhelmed I was playing Rise. :P
I'd also probably be starting back at square one content-wise. So I'd be little help in terms of doing missions either.
My friend made the same mistake buying Diablo 3 again, to force me to play it with him. And just a few sessions of that, reminded me how mind-numbing the gameplay was. (Especially when he plays the overpowered class on autopilot, and like always, I get shafted by the loot drops always going against me. Swear most console games have an obsession with screwing over the player holding the first controller.)

@Dark Cloud I'd have to redownload Rise (and get Sunbreak, if its not free DLC.) So that's its own ask. XD
But it sounded like you enjoyed MHGU?
Though I hope you'll enjoy the experience (of Hollow Knight). As there will be times that frustrate you. But there will almost always be another path/option available to you. More so than any other game I've played in recent memory.
So, have fun getting lost and keep at it.
I've been so focused on watching other media and social life stuff, that I haven't played much lately. But, I have Tunic installed and ready to go. So I hope its gimmick/mystery gives me a similar feeling of rewarding exploration/discovery. Whenever I'm in the mood to play it.

I watched more well rated movies on IMDB.
"Searching" made me question my life’s decision to watch this. Couldn’t get past the beginning, without wanting to go do anything else.
"The Harder They Fall" is a complete waste of potential. Its plot was hard to follow/get invested in. While also being tone deaf, incredibly predictable and frustratingly dull for most of its run time.
"Fractured" is an unreliable narrator thriller that is horrendously acted, with a twist you see coming the very moment it happens on screen.
In contrast, the anime season hasn’t started off too bad.
Plus, "Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul" is one of the better/darker anime movies I’ve seen recently. At least in terms of getting exactly what you wanted. Even if the narrative itself feels a bit disjointed.

I watched things. (Mostly dumb action stuff.)
The Terminal List is similar to My Name in terms of quality and problems. Sloppy and slow at times, tropey, flashbacks you probably didn't need, and a final similar twist you can see coming a mile away. But it's 7 out of 10 entertainment. For the right audience. (I'd watch both, if you have nothing else to do.)
I honestly wanted more of The Old Guard, and wish it was a bit better developed/fleshed out. Because it has a surprising amount of character/cheeseball fun in it. (Overly poppy soundtrack aside.) Though its betrayal scene and redemption of a villain character both feel unjustified & needed better set up. Still worthy to watch, in spite of its weaker third act.
You know that terribad Irish PSA where a car crushes a bunch of small screaming children? And the ending line is “SHAME ON YOU.” Well, Triple Frontier has that as its second scene/overall tone. And between Dune and everything else I’ve seen him in, I’m still waiting on Oscar Isaac’s great acting performance. (I honestly didn’t even finish it. And I’m baffled with how much money this apparently took to make.)
Have other things on my watchlist and the new anime season is out too. So I have plenty more to sift through...
Edit: And unsurprisingly, the Boys finale sucked.

I'm feeling really conflicted with Everhood. Because I've adored the OST, since I first heard it. But the narrative and gameplay is starting to ware on me a bit. (And I have so long to go too...)
It's dialogue is amusing (when it tries to be.) But its certainly not as comedic as Undertale. (Or even Underhero.)
The control scheme seems to make or break certain challenges. (A thing I've experienced before.) But its still a bit obnoxious to have to unplug my controller (or vice versa) to complete something.
And sure, it's gameplay is a damn challenge. But its beginning to feel like there's only one correct path in these latter fights. Almost regardless of difficulty settings. (That forces me into a trial and error run, over and over again.) Which is not, good game design.
The fake ending trope seems to be in every other indie game now. To the point where its almost more predictable than not having one.
So the various nitpicks I've had, and less-than-fun boss gimmicks that I forced myself through, (the rewinding time boss is an absolute piss take.) I wanted the narrative to make me keep going. But the narrative and gameplay are both starting to irritate me...
