Cuphead looks nice, but I'll need to check if the game has continues and infinite lives before I dig in because I surely don't want the joy of going back to stage 1 after losing a gruesome boss fight.

May also want a sale, for the usual reasons, will probably pick Wild Guns while I wait because I liked it on the SNES, specially the soundtrack..

Late sunday comic…. my schedule is fucked up beyond belief but at least I managed to keep 5 comics a week, but I need to shape up or I'll go crazy at some point.

Started playing Nier and I'm pleasantly surprised. Special mention of many different combos 2B can do.Also, I don't know if it's just me but the game looks preeeeetty.

Will talk more about it later but I want to upload it and go eat.

Enjoy!

If there is a scrappy fight which takes too long, I feel the team with Ana will lose because eventually she'll run out of heal-boolets and need to suffer that super nice reloading animation which takes an age and a half.

Meanwhile, the other team has a Mercy which start the game with a free-rez, can fly away from danger, has self regen and is halfway thru her ultimate already.

But it's cool because assuming Ana never misses a single shot, she has a slighty higher heal per second… while her ammo last…. assuming she isn't dead…

Nier demands and bit of exploration, but is also a game filled with invisible walls, a bad combo if I've ever saw one.

After a while you kind get the hang of what kind of path the game will allow you to cross but it's still annoying, specially because 2B is some super agile robot maid / ballerina but is stopped by some gnarly branches or makeshift walls.

I think coconuts are actually harder to open, but pineapples, like dark souls, get the fame of being the hardcore one.

I love inktober art, where artists decide to draw on traditional media, with a good focus on black and white. One reason I like manga is because I really dig the black and white aesthetic. Only reason I don't do Nerf NOW!! without colors is because the majority prefer colors.

This said, even thou Inktober woud be the perfect chance to some nice black and white shenanigans, I don't even know if I can hold a real pen anymore. How do those even work? How people undo mistakes? Jesus christ, those inktober artists are like brave barbarians, facing art with just guts and sharpened pencils.

Disclaimer: I like to read in-depth guides of what an ability does before using it but I feel following FAQs too closely steal half of the fun of games which allow you to make your own build. Nothing beats hands-on experience and something which sounds amazing (or sucks) on paper may surprise me in-game.

And of course, for games which don't allow respec, I can totally understand someone desire to «not screw up» before commiting to a certain path.

I believe whoever is behind Zarya skins has very… unique… tastes. Tastes that which don't align with mine for sure.

She and Roadhog are the only characters which I am not fond of either the original design or any of the extra skins.

Still, I'm sure some will enjoy the new skin, but I doubt it will have Mercy's skins popularity.

Imagine if all those gamers out there sstarted game companies? The economic boon alone would push us into a golden age.

Sadly, they are too busy complaining about Doomfist nerfs.

I don't mind loot boxes in a sense I hardly feel interested on what is inside it. If I get that nice Witch Mercy skin, cool, if not, I'll play with the basic one, no problem. Most of the time I feel I get the full experience with or without loot boxes.

However, it's clear some development resources were syphoned to make the boxes and it's content, resources which could be perhaps be used to do, you know… more content.

The idea is the loot boxes PAY for it's content which would otherwise not exist. My issue isnt even with the time and manpower needed to create the content, but the creative effort which is diverted to create ways to make me spend money instead of focusing on the gameplay.

Still, most games are good enough with or without loot boxes and I'm glad I'm not one of those whales who feel they need to have every skin in the game to be happy.
