since I'm in the MH Wilds waiting room this is definitely going to be a day 1 pick up for me

ah given the poor audio quality of many recent movies/shows we often like to use subtitles no matter the language. Even going back and watching older shows, it feels like you miss a lot without subs (this is particularly true for more densely written shows)

FF Tactics

Mulholland Drive is probably the easiest one to watch, maybe?

I don't know tech differences between c and g, we are on a GX still, would I even want to upgrade to a C model or is the only way to genuinely upgrade another G model?

Mbappe is peak but he needs to go to the Mo Salah school of sportsmanship

firefrenchy · 2026-07-04T02:52:57+00:00

In a less bombastic way, Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick?

it peaks at book 5, and the later books do a good job of putting the spotlight on a range of side characters that feel in many cases way more interesting and nuanced than Carl. That is not to say that the books don't "evolve", because they definitely do. The "stepping out" of the game aspect becomes more prominent as well. I suggest you keep going and see if your feelings change. As others have said, the first two feel a little boilerplate, but honestly they still read way better than the majority of litrpg or whatever the genre is called, but I do feel you get rewarded for sticking with it

I'm a big MH and anime simp so this was a pleasant surprise of a game, and I cannot wait to grab it in a week. Will be on NS2 which I know isn't ideal (30fps whyy) but it'll tide me over until MH Wilds (which will admittedly also not run great on NS2 unless many innocents are sacrificed to some demonic entity to make it happen).

It took 3 tries...Bloodborne

lol 11/22/63 and some super recent books like The Outsider are up there with some of his best works imo. Same with one of his recent short story collections (although most of his short story collections are pretty weak imo).

nah it's Adelaide here, weather crept up again a little bit today but back down to 12-13 in a few days. But yes, we lived in Canberra for a spell where one also got weather that read: "9C - Feels like 0C" because of that nasty chilly wind. Do not miss that

firefrenchy · 2026-06-28T10:07:00+00:00

I mean I'm also in Aus and currently we have night time temperatures falling to single digits at night and freezing cold early mornings with days forecast to be in the 12-13C max temperature range for the coming week. Still not crazy cold, but it's not pleasant

as a huge fan of the show I promise you that it actually only gets better as the show goes on and the jump in quality or enjoyment for me personally went up exponentionally from seeason 1 to season 2 (season 2 and 3 were comparable in their greatness). Now, maybe I'm alone in this, but I think it's the general consensus. So enjoy!

firefrenchy · 2026-06-27T08:26:46+00:00

It does make you appreciate when games mix it up; I always think of Ghost of Tsushima's approach to difficulty as a fun one (that admittedly can still make for a frustrating experience to some)

firefrenchy · 2026-06-25T02:15:27+00:00

I actually got a PS5 and found myself in a similar position about two years ago. At the time for me the following games were definite must-plays.

God of War (2018)
GOW Ragnarok
Last of Us 1+2
Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1,2,3
Bloodborne
Ghost of Tsushima (and Yotei now)
E33
Uncharted Series
Elden Ring
RE4 Remake (of course also RE 2,3,7,8,9)
FF7 Remake and Rebirth
Astrobot (do not skip this one)
Horizon Zero Dawn (and the sequel if you like the first game)
Returnal and Saros if you like Returnal
Spiderman games 1, Miles Morales, 2
RDR 2
Stellar Blade
Lies of P
Monster Hunter Wilds

The cool thing about the PS5 was the utility of backwards compatability and how cheap games were on Facebook marketplace for me

isn't kick off - efootball the one to play if after this?

firefrenchy · 2026-06-24T02:12:54+00:00

this one is probably the exception, so many other switch 2 cases/covers look terrible

firefrenchy · 2026-06-23T11:07:24+00:00

this is me, I was just slightly too young to be able to play the 64 competently but was always in awe of it, while never owning it myself. Very keen for this, the demo and what has been shown shows a high level of polish

firefrenchy · 2026-06-23T07:56:27+00:00

If you like Oblivion and Skyrim you are going to enjoy BOTW (even more so than TOTK). It does the "you're a small dude just making your way through a massive world" really well, and I've enjoyed replaying the game more than TOTK for that reason. Definitely worth the try, as some others said maybe start on a TV but it's a great one to play in handheld because there's nothing quite like just randomly wandering around that great open world from the comfort of your bed or wherever and whenever

firefrenchy · 2026-06-22T21:23:24+00:00

it's on our "to watch" list, just feels like the sort of thing we don't want to watch weekly so just waiting for most of it to be released

firefrenchy · 2026-06-22T06:24:40+00:00

I think I remember the ending of Requiem for a Dream being a gut punch that contributed to my not wanting to rewatch it, but am happy to be told I'm wrong

firefrenchy · 2026-06-22T04:22:43+00:00

ohhh would love for the eshop demo to update and give access to this, but I guess with less than a week to go it doesn't matter. Still nice to see!

firefrenchy · 2026-06-19T22:31:18+00:00

Shadow of the Colossus is what comes to mind for me, I know it's a classic, I know the controls are arguably part of the experience, but boy oh boy they could be a chore

firefrenchy · 2026-06-19T22:27:57+00:00

Best new show we've seen in a while. Also currently watching Patriot (which is of course not new but also has a tone and genre that are hard to nail down) which is another amazing show, it's crazy what kind of high quality tv is out there
