I'm actually disturbed at how corrupt Fazbear Entertainment was even during the 1970's. They treated their employees like crap. I bet they killed anyone who tried to form a union.

Andy Field (voice of Hand Unit) is apparently voicing a Fazbear dispatch worker who talks to you on the radio. I don't know the name of this dispatch worker, but I already want to punch him into the stratosphere with how much he abuses the player character.

Speaking of which... the player character's name is Arnold. I really should have guessed we'd be playing as an underpaid, overabused worker, just like classic FNAF.

... Arnold Fitzgerald, I presume? Maybe?

Just finished the season 3 finale of Person of Interest (yes I'm awfully late to the party). I have to admit that the first two seasons felt like powering through sometimes; I liked most characters and some of the stand-alone episodes, but the HR arc especially just wasn't my thing.

The introduction of Shaw helped a lot though, and not because she's Sarah Shahi (gorgeous, and yes, freaking hot as always), and will turn out to be canonly gay eventually, but because she's just really my kind of character. I simply love her.

And then there's the shift in s3 toward Samaritan (the new big storyline), which compared to HR did peak my interest more and more, and made the second half of the season quite te ride, and the finale longing for more (and more, and more) (plus bonus points for ending on one of my fav songs!). Luckily I've got 2 more seasons to go. Cause oh yes, this show is far-fetched and a little ridiculous at times, but is sure is entertaining too!

ok, so having played 6 hours of Ghost of Yotei, i can see where some of the criticisms are coming from

the combat is, imo, not as good as the last game. it's kind of jank and there's no lock on. guys can gank you if you're not paying attention. some of the combat animations and styles are good, but the overall feel of combat so far is jank and not good.

also sometimes mechanics aren't explained clearly and it leaves you guessing for hours until you go back to it and something clicks. it just does not feel good.

the initial couple hours of story feel rushed. I get where they're coming from with story beats and structure - instead of Kurosawa, they're going for spaghetti western in Japan. Which IS an amazing concept and sometimes it works SO GOOD, but how they decided to start the game and story, just feels off. they tried to copy Tsushima's opening with something dramatic and then work backwards to what happened, but imo, especially for something so personal, they should have started with the backstory FIRST, then did the abrupt night of fire that set her on her quest for revenge.

idk the story just feels crammed to fit in this story structure, and it should be working, but the story beats feel off and disjointed, not flowing properly, because they're doing spaghetti western/Magnificent Seven in Japan with telling everything in flashbacks, and i just don't think they have the chops do to this.

even when you're out fucking around, you FEEL the pressure to quit fucking around and get to the story, with the game even REMINDING you like "hey, you should go find that guy" like literally

it doesn't let you breathe in the world

also i guess it feels different because Atsu is a loner and has become a very broken woman who is seeking death, so for many hours of the initial game, it feels lonely as she does not have any friends. She's seeking death and the game feels lonely. Jin died and came back, but he's still that sweet charming man from before, he just had his eyes opened to systematic injustices and as such his empathy expanded to include others. Atsu has to relearn how to be human it feels like.

There's some very interesting characters throughout the game, but sometimes the npcs feel rushed and disjointed and not part of the story. idk how else to explain it.

the story finally picks up like 5-6 hours in, but it feels like you really dragged yourself to get there

No spoilers, but FFVII Rebirth seems to have pulled any, and ALL of my favorite aspects of previous FF titles and wrapped it all into a very pretty bow so far.

Also, world wandering wise, it definitely used XV as a blueprint. Suck it everyone who hated XV!! That being said, VIIR certainly does a better job with it and expanded very nicely.

Started watching JJK and I'd like to give everyone a good rundown of my thoughts so far on the anime. The animation is top notch, the soundtrack is great, the characters are very lovable and have a lot of depth, the story is compelling and also LOST IN PARADISE NIGHT 'ND DAY ARE FADING OUT KEEP ON DANCIN' NOW HEYYY HEYYYYYYYYY!!!!~☆

Besides that, uh, I also like Gojo a lot. He's funky and interesting. Also very very pretty man. Me likely.

I’ve caught up with Love In the Air! I enjoyed TharnType so I have a high tolerance for those kind of shows and I was warned going in about these numerous consent issues, so now I can enjoy the wackadoodle plot, the chemistry, and the characters. It’s a fun show for me! Sky is darling and I love him very much much. Prapai is on thin ice (though the way he took care of Sky when he was sick was sweet). Phayu (Payu?) is a fun character and while Rain is a brat, he’s definitely interesting paired with Phayu.

What I don’t understand about the whole phone thing was that it would have been so much more romantic if, instead of Prapai buying multiple SIM cards and basically overloading Sky, we saw Sky unblocking him because he missed the texts (even if he never replied). Then we could get the scene between Prapai and his long-suffering secretary (who absolutely deserves a raise) where he says Sky has unblocked him and he’s even reading his texts! So we get Sky softening naturally without it feeling like Prapai is just stepping over his boundaries constantly.
