Currently replaying Prime and Fusion. I want to get a GameCube controller so I can replay Prime 2 as well. I never played Prime 3 and I'm not sure I will, I haven't looked into wii emulation and I don't dig gyro based FPS controls lol. They need to make prime trilogy for the switch

People should probably brush up on their LatAm history, just, in general, because everything here right now is kind of confirming my thesis statement of last year, which is "The US is not a European country- it is a Latin American country that, by historical coincidence, speaks English primarily."

Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
Blasphemous is actually a good game, very disturbing imagery and themes throughout, not quite bad enough to put me off overall, but the baby boss was only just disturbing enough to put me off because I'm bad at video games and had to fight it over and over, lol.

I quit watching Picard because of the part where they sever the guy's optic nerve, holy shit, why did they need to show that. Star Trek is a family show. I don't have kids but I appreciate the franchise's relatively prosaic quality and they did not need to show that shit
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
I also need to get Blasphemous in at some point. I don't think I'll need to replay that one. I remember very clearly that it basically plays out as the nightmare of a Catholic having a spiritual crisis and I stopped playing because the giant baby boss is repulsively creepy in addition to being hard
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't think I even got that far. I figure I'm gonna start over from the beginning because it has been several years and I won't know tf is going on if I just drop back into the middle of my first attempt.

Xenosaga was cringe in my memory and now it is not, much like how ElfQuest was cringe in my memory and now is not. Xenosaga has a strong lesbian subtext and ElfQuest is *textually* about a bunch of polyamorous bisexuals and their interracial relationships. I was a repressed lil kid!
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
It was good but I got distracted by something else before I finished it, I don't remember what. Now that everybody is aping out over Silksong, I feel motivated to finish it. I'm thinking about keeping a video game journal to help me stop leaving games I actually like unfinished.
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
I just love Shion + Kosmos and Shion falling for Allen was not only annoying in itself (he is a wimp and IIRC he never stops being a fucking wimp) but it violated the lesbian subtext. I will be better prepared for that disappointment next time
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social) reply parent
Xenosaga is actually WAY BETTER than I remembered. I'm not sure why it's tarnished in my memory. This is a great game and I look forward to working my way up to finishing Episode III, which I never did finish because I just hated Allen so fucking much, the endgame of Ep3 made me irrationally angry
Ariellah | אריאלה (@sodone.bsky.social)
for those who care what games I'm playing (ie my imaginary friends 🥹) I'm currently taking a break from my Metroid replays to get through Xenosaga Episode I, after which I will finish replaying Metroid Prime, then consider finishing Hollow Knight before moving on to Episode II

My company was announcing a new policy of not letting us bring in outside devices due to cybersecurity concerns. Ok, very reasonable. But then to support the policy they tell an anecdote about confiscating somebody's PS5 and firing him about it. Seems like a nonsequitur!

I probably would still avoid playing video games at work and even wouldn't be getting on my soapbox about this if they didn't literally constantly brag about firing employees who play video games at work. It's weird and fucked up for an employer to be fixated on this.
