Some of my friends already have like 5 kids. It is so not easy if you don't have a support system or any helps, which I'm lucky to have.

Are you watching Non Non Biyori? AMAZING, what are your thoughts on it till now? Ren-chon is hilarous XD

That's a boy, but yes, you're welcome. That same puppy likes to play tag with his teeth so I play with him using leather gloves. He also got his light ball worn out after a year and my leather gloves are still in good condition.

As for Ubisoft, they kept making similar games, their games had one too many technical difficulties, they don't listen to fans (constantly disagreed with consumers that AC Shadows was going to be extremely racist for Japanese audiences), they copy other developers (leave online gaming to the professionals and stop copying Fortnite), they make promises they couldn't keep, the abuse upon employees (similar drama to Disney), they take forever to develop games and some of their games end up being unsuccessful projects (doesn't help that Beyond Good and Evil 2 was never made; all about AC Shadows for the mythical modern audience).

Honorable mention, they rip off consumers and charging Mexicans 90 dollars for AC Shadows after Odyssey (was considered the most historically inaccurate slop since the movie Pocahontas) is a big mistake. SNK would never rip off Mexicans like Ubisoft and Nintendo. One of the most popular game studios in Mexico just happens to be Japanese (GungHo, Vanillaware and Nihon Falcom are my favorite Japanese studios).

FOX's Anastasia movie may not be 90% historically accurate, but at least that movie was charming and not controversial. No Russian or eastern European was ever upset about that movie at all, but now, we see Japanese people being very upset about AC Shadows (Yasuke was never a homosexual samurai that smashed irreplaceable shrines which is why the game is labeled a Johnny Somali simulator; blatant, far left pandering). I also cringe at Ubisoft for the intentional misuse of Chinese characters and Japanese say konnichiwa not nihao. Absolutely no respect for Japan.

So, Ubisoft went from being another, once-revered AAA studio to one that people complain about because they kept making similar games, had bugs, didn’t listen to fans, and had drama amongst themselves. They’re trying to restore reputation, like making new games, but that's hardly enough to gain everyone's trust. They'll no longer be revered like they once were. They just had to upset gamers and Japanese people.

Should have made Beyond Good and Evil sequels instead. I hope that more emphatic game developers will get their hands a Beyond Good and Evil, turning it into a franchise that Ubisoft couldn't handle. I also hope that a more empathetic developer will take care of Rayman after Ubisoft goes defunct. Because of the French studio's foolishness, they're notable franchises are seemingly worthless. Even Far Cry lost its worth over time. The fifth Far Cry game being anti-christian propaganda and hated among christians (millions of them may have died in the USSR and China a century ago which is something horrible) didn't help. Should have stopped with Primal, Far Cry-wise, the last good Ubisoft game before they became the most hated, most controversial studio ever.

They deserve to be swallowed whole by Tencent. According to their stock value, not so good and that plummeting is beyond repair.

Crows are well-known for intelligence, like taking advantage of traffic when their walnuts are completely shelled. Their combination of problem-solving, memory, social learning and innovation makes them one of the smartest animals on Earth. They have other incredible intelligence feats, but I'll leave it there for now and present Nicky (still the smartest in canine standards):



TBQH, I don't have a problem with AAA games made around 1997 and 2016. It's the much newer AAA games that disappoint me. Being all rushed, formulaic, buggy or worse (Ubisoft's recent antics doesn't help and it pains me to see a big name studio about to get swallowed whole like 20th Century FOX). I also detest live service, constant remakes and microtransactions (I don't do gambling).

I really hope that Rayman will get to be in the hands of a studio with more empathy. People loved those games since decades ago. A new Rayman game would have made Ubisoft more relevant, but after losing money constantly and their recent vendetta with Japanese people, Tencent (those filthy rich Chinese businessesmen) is getting closer to swallowing the French studio whole. Like a dragon (no, not Ryu ga Kotoku) patiently approaching its prey. They might end up losing a franchise like Midway did. As we can see, Mortal Kombat is completely owned by Hollywood.

As for remakes, I do like Second Story R about as much as Alter Code f (better mechanics than 1996 Wild Arms).

Instead of delving into newer AAA games, I explored more deeply into other hobbies like smithing and linguistics (was figuring out for ages how Japanese grammar works and I love the focus on SOV over pronouns; no articles needed which are highly repetitive in Spanish). I'll still play video games regardless and how can I grow out of Ragnarok Online if the mechanics improved even better since 2020? Thanks to Gravity and GungHo for improving it. Like an old dog learning new tricks.

PS: I haven't played any AAA games since 2017. Didn't feel the prime of AAA games since then like I had once anticipated.

Other than that, I can't wait to check out this Astria Ascending game after Arc The Lad 3. I love PS2 level game aesthetics.

So much entertainment to explore, not enough time. I'm also happy with my Crystolon and I might get a medium India Stone (though aggressive on most steel) much later.

My little sister's puppy is with me for babysitting again. He's half schnauzer and half Maltese so he looks kind of like a mini Einstein. Always playing tag with his jaws so it's cute watching him growl. He also has the similar intelligence to a second grader. Still outclassed by a crow. Though he loses his mind or confidence when he hears random noises.

I'll show you a picture of my new knife later. Made from bearing steel which is far superior to tamahagane.

queeennn !!! based anime list, how did you manage to get in so many entries? is it because you've been watching anime for many years? :0

Just wanted to drop by and say props to a MAL vet! GANBARE! ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

It has been busy. My twins are 2-months now. They are 2-months now, We played with the activity center, anything that made noise, held him up to the mirror and made faces and noises so he’d learn different expressions. Tummy time with a blanket under him for support. Read to them. Sometime take them out on walks. That’s really about it. There are really not much you can do with them at this age yet.

Oh! I meant oldest and I love Ni no Kuni. It once gave me some kind of a Monster Rancher feel once when I saw the trailer.

Yep! Theo can catch monsters in cards, said summoning system called Cardish

While Arc The Lad 3 is a tactical RPG, it's far from very difficult.

I'm doing fine (amidst this heat wave), by the way and I hope that said condition will be resolved soon enough. Hopefully, it isn't along the lines with some serous condition like hypersomnia, sleep apnea, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, post-travel jet lag (possibly very unlikely) or mononucleosis. Flu would definitely be left out easily in a process of elimination.

I sometimes worry about jet lag if I ever fly to Japan or very distant countries one day. I hope it'll never happen because I'd love to purchase a Shapton, King, Naniwa or Suehiro at a much better price over there in Japan.

So yes, Arc The Lad 3 has been more amusing to me than expected. I also look forward to emulating its successor Twilight of the Spirits, believed to be the last good Arc The Lad game.

Another JRPG that I look forward to playing is either Penny Blood or Armed Fantasia, the new Wild Arms because of Akifumi Kaneko.

I wonder how Hironobu Sakaguchi and his company Mistwalker are doing. I would sure love to emulate Lost Odyssey someday as well.

Last time I had an Xbox 360, I used it to play that hidden gem Zoids Assault. It has themes and narrative that rival Gundam or more mainstream mecha. I wish that it could have gotten a sequel which would be Rambo 2 levels of epic. Like helping prisoners of war escape from hidden correctional facilities or escape from unfair incarceration.

There were no beam weapons in that game like the charged particle beam, so it's a whole other universe. Yes, different than Chaotic Century and Michelle Ruff did a great job as Jessica. I also heard Batou's American voice in that game.

Making a sequel that takes place in the Chaotic Century timeline would mean bringing back those Ocean dubbers which are all the way in Canada. That would be fair.

With that said, how are you doing this this late winter?

I'm 16 hours and 23 minutes into Arc The Lad 3. Part two is the best, but I really want to know who Alek's mysterious savior as a little kid was during that great calamity. I also loved the appearances older Arc The Lad characters made, the heroes. Lieza was so nice to let Alek and his friends chill in her monster ranch.

I also love this summoning system or Cardish. Looks like something out of Cardcaptors, Jade Cocoon (the most original Ghibli game I've ever played) or Pokémon.

I captured plenty of monsters using Theo even though they're temporary summons once captured in cards. They expire more or less like the Enterrans in Mushrambo, AKA Shinzo.

Other than that, I really can't wait to meet other Arc The Lad heroes like Lieza (that sweet monster tamer girl) and Tosh who used to be a wandering samurai (now a village chief living in a Japanese style home taking care of arid Testa's water sphere). Tosh sure picked some serious muscle for taking care of his current arid town's source of life. Yes, because bandits tried to steal that magic orb from said arid town for personal gain, like making bottled water, once. Yes, that town would be thirsty like those futuristic townspeople in Trigun without that watery magic ball.

Those hunter quests somehow remind me of Ragnarok Online while the gameplay brings back memories of me exploring Suikoden Tactics decades ago.

Aside from Arc The Lad 3, I need a new half round bastard file for knives I'll forge from bearing steel (the superb alloy) and I look forward to getting the Norton India Stone. I could sure use that real hard oilstone that resists dishing.
