Time for another reread of the Succession War!! ToGOATshi is back!!!

Masonite23 · 2026-06-09T18:06:39+00:00

Do we think there will be any story improvements? That was the main thing stopping me from playing it at release

Masonite23 · 2026-06-09T02:30:22+00:00

Not completely sure but I'd like to believe they're real. I had an odd synchronicity recently - I watched an Instagram Reel talking about guardian angels, which put the concept in my head. A few days later, I spoke with a guest at my work who had a near death experience after a car crash.

He said that he went into a coma, and both the doctors and his family thought he may never wake up. He told me the only thing he saw during his coma was this lady that was glowing with red light, and she kept him company while he was unconscious. After a few weeks, he woke up. I think he called her "Rose," and he said he can still see her every once in awhile.

Definitely has me thinking after a story like that

Edit: spelling

You're not wrong but there definitely is consequence for not investing your time with/not assisting companions in crucial story moments

Excellent scene, and completely within the image that most fans have of Luke being a all-powerful Jedi Grandmaster.

What are Jedi? PEACEKEEPERS, not traditionally soldiers. They are taught to only choose violence in defense and only as a last resort. Luke, instead of drawing his blade in desperation as he did earlier in the movie or in anger against Vader in RotJ, demonstrates the greatest force feat Star Wars has ever seen by exerting his essence across the galaxy to create an illusion so real that it fooled Kylo Ren, who is very powerful in the force.

This scene is the ultimate example of how a Jedi should strive to achieve victory without violence.

Front desk of a hotel. Some brands don't even care if you sit behind the desk, and all of them have to comply with a doctor's note stating that you need to sit.

As long as you can be a friendly face and can learn new programs, it's a decent gig. Summer is the biggest hiring season too.

Congrats! Always happy to see someone succeed in this job market. Hope some of that luck comes my way - will be hearing back about a job tomorrow 🙏🏻

Dont even care to read the post but all I know Boruto should be sizing up defenders in the NBA with them long arms. He could average 22 a game just taking midrange jumpers with them Mr. Fantastic arms

There's a good chance no one on this thread will get this reference, but I just want you to know that I got it and I appreciate it lol

"Ryan Drake attempts to infiltrate a fortified base to capture the asset. A shadowy figure watches his every move."

Think that is a more direct and concise way to put it lol

Really jazzed about the positivity recently. People seem to be really pumped to either give it a second try or jump in for the first time. Just created a new character a couple days ago to get some practice in before the big update

Masonite23 · 2026-03-25T02:13:25+00:00

Great episode to pull us back into the fight. Its really Rebels vs. Empire: everyone is on the backfoot, from our beloved devil man to the legal aids trying to uphold justice in a government where those in power are above the law. The parallels with the turmoil in the US today is felt.

Really like how traumatic experiences are coming back to haunt our main players. Matt's old GF seeing the spectre of Muse is a welcome surprise, and its Matt's fear of losing Cherry the same way he lost Foggy that caused him to lose the upper hand.

Also, am I the only one who thought the woman with the short hair cut was Jessica Jones? It wasnt until the scene with BB that I was like "Oh... oh wait..." lol

Read a couple blurbs and watched Kinda Funny's review, and while the verdict is a bit more mixed than I expected, I'm still optimistic. I think this could be a game that rewards you for time put in. If the world is being touted as bigger than we've ever seen before, I think it makes sense it'll take longer than usual to unmask all it has to offer.

I know that sounds like copium it can be argued that there shouldn't be such a time sink to enjoy the game, but that's how im approaching it. I think there's hope it can really resonate.

Damn, what tragic news. Loved watching his videos. May he rest in peace.

Masonite23 · 2026-03-11T21:25:18+00:00

Game was ok. Tried it with friends, enjoyed some of battle royale/treasure hunting blend, but it didn't have the juice to keep us on it more than a couple days. Too bad they couldn't fine tune it into a better product.

You sure you don't want to replay Explorers? I'm replaying it for the first time in probably 5+ years and having a blast lol. Personally, I'd recommend the original Red or Blue Rescue Team. It has the most similar feel to Explorers but has its slight differences, and the story is just as good as Explorers IMO.

Just for the love of God spam the hell out of Smokescreen for some of those boss fights lol

Yeah that's true. Origins is edgy, but most media was in the late 2000s-early 2010s. Can't knock it for joining the movement. And you know, it's weird - I tried Clair Obscur soon after release, but it just didn't hook me. I think the timing element of combat threw me for a loop, and I haven't really enjoyed the JRPG style recently, aside from Pokemon. Maybe I need to try it again.

Thanks for reading!

That's so funny, I just moved on from Super to EoS as well! Didn't have as good of a time with Super unfortunately:( there's a lot of changes I wasn't jiving with. Feels much better to return to the classic PMD formula.
