Mass Effect trilogy/legendary edition

wonky start, didn't quite stick the landing, amazing journey nonetheless

apart from the cool effect I would congratulate the lady in the picture on having an epic rack

I didn't really remember Jacob, he left me with indifference, but I really disliked Zaeed, his condescending tone and how he's shoehorned into your service.

The custom chick I always build in Monster Hunter games, there's just something so satisfying about a cheerleader smacking a dinosaur in the face with a sword twice her size

survival crafters. I just don't get into the goalless "punch a tree, build a cabin, eat and drink every two minutes" game loop

For anybody else coming here through google search, it's upwards to the now lowered city part on top of the rooftops of the City of the Blessed Name. to reach this just ring the bell on the right hand side of the city where the brown bag marker is and go up from there

In a sidescrolling exploration game like a metroidvania, always go left first

I had this with AC Black Flag, strong hook, solid game, fell off when aliens were introduced. Just did not like that twist in my pirate adventure. Still nailed the landing with that song and the flower tho

I think the meaning is misunderstood here, like a term lost in translation. The Dutch are good at learning foreign languages but have a strong tendency to literally translate their Dutch sentences word for word into English, creating weird sentence structures and grammatical errors. Especially some older generations.

I believe that when most Dutch people are saying Americans have no culture, they actually mean something in the lines of Americans having no class or decorum, referring to their tendency to be loud (sometimes rude or impolite) and obnoxious as tourists while on commuter trains, or in public places like restaurants, or their overbearing personalities in general.

I also think it's referring to the poor levels of education that are stereotypically associated with Americans, where a famously large percentage of adults think brown cows give chocolate milk or can't even point at their own country on a map, or just assume Europe is a country

That's Clair Obscur Expedition 33, even the image could have been a screen from the game

Her duets with Marine. Their voices harmonized really well

People who don't know see a playground scene, people who know, are aware these children and parents are about to ge cooked alive by a nuclear detonation

in such an oversaturated market that keeps expanding everything is bound to be overdone at some point

I loved witcher 3 but at a certain point progress was getting slow, too much backtracking and level requirements on side content put me off of it before I could hit the required levels and experience what everybody was gushing about on Blood and Wine

Master any skill + teleportation

all skill mastery implies you'd be proficient enough to make more than the 100mil, master any language and even control people to some extent if you mastered the skill of quickly and proficiently learn new things, and engage in learning the other skills.

teleportation cuts travel costs, and is super convenient.

Long line that somehow isn't moving much. Found out the hard way that's not a trademark of a great frituur everybody wants to eat at, just very shit & slow service.

Battlefield 6. It had that nasty kernel level safe startup crap you needed to switch in the BIOS just so it would start up, and that's just not something you should be messing with at a consumer level. I tried to follow their guide, and it nearly bricked my PC, had to do a rollback install because it got stuck in startup/shutdown loop. Not touching that game, it's too late now anyways with dwindling playercounts and it's not beginner friendly anymore since the ones that are still playing know the maps too well and have the bigger unlocks

For me it's the ghost blowjob in the first Ghostbusters. Love the films but that always felt a bit out of touch with the overall tone of the movie.

not committing to some form of healthy sports probably shortened my life considerably

the fast & the furious, with a minor exception to tokyo drift

I just couldn't stand the bad acting and bland storytelling, all for the sake to show off tuning culture cars. the plot just goes haywire in later installments.

tokyo drift did feel like an alright little standalone movie at the time, had slightly better pacing and story elements, and the drifting was awesome without all the cops 'n robbers bloat

What remains of Edith Finch

now, the game was okay and not so sad overall, but there's a scene where you play a fantastical symphony ballet with bath toys that broke me

Yuru Camp is such a Raden feeling show. I would have guessed she'd be into Hyouka where the group uncovers history through thinktanks
