Ooookey-dokey, now that I'm feeling a bit more cheered up, I'm streaming GOTG Episode 3 now.
Was gonna do it earlier in the week, but, well, drama happened.
Come. See this overlooked game as I try to commentate about all the fun little details contained within.
This is kind of some sort of update, so I'll just say it here: I'm hitting a week in school where I've been given shit-tons of homework and classes, so it's gonna be maybe a while before I get this project to be polished.
That's the funny thing about it. They've got us in two different programs. He's in a recently formed program that is only county-wide, and I'm in one that is statewide. The program I'm in emails parents literally the minute they can as 'absent' or 'tardy'. I'm not getting why they only send my mother emails about his presence until after the day. (Which leads to the always great breakfast rant by my mother... You've gotta love those. lmao)
Like, I get that this is a new situation for everyone. But, it's an automated message.
Something tells me that my little brother is gonna be in the same grade, next year. Really hoping the dude doesn't fail, but jesus fucking christ. He is screwed.
Would not be surprised at all given the similarities in story and themes.
(Hyper-futuristic setting, involves a malevolent being uploaded into your own brain, totally doesn't want to take control or exploit you like every other character who has ever done this.)
I had it...I had it in my grasp. It was the closest I ever got. My name, my street address, my damn credit card, it was all set. The PS5 was practically mine for the taking. My hopes are alive for the first time since it went on sale, everything in my info was correct, and it was still in the first two minutes of Walmart putting it back on sale. All I had to do is hit the Place Order button and it's finally mine...
Good story driven content I'd recommend would be Ace Attorney, the Zero Escape trilogy and AI: The Somnium Files. I'll also throw in my favorite JRPG series of all time, Trail, specifically starting with the Trails in the Sky trilogy.
I think it definitely is. The only thing you miss out on not buying DLC's are most of the characters and killers. If you like playing killer it can get dull because you only have like 5 killers, but players doesnt matter that much, because most good perks are from the OG batch either way. I've played a lot these past 2 years and I still basically just play as Dwight with his perks (which is the original character I believe).
You can also buy a lot of the killers and survivors in the gamestore without putting out real money, but you'll have to play for quite a while to collect enough to buy them.
And no, you are not missing out on maps without buying the DLCs. The maps are in game without having to buy them, and theres literally no use whatsoever to buy DLCs if you want all maps.
Yeah you can choose whether you want to play killer or survivor.
But also, the Licensed Killers are the ones that you can't grind currency for, I'm pretty sure you have to shell out real money for them. They do regularly go on sale, with a few dropping to 5$ or lower on Steam I think, so they're a great investment in a sale.
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it is time for holiday shopping. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all the Christmas deals that are made available for all of us to savor. But for me, I've only got one thought going through my mind...WELCOME TO HELL!
For us at Amazon, this is already the most stressful and exhausting time of the year. So please, be kind to me and my guys and go easy on us when you're ordering your Christmas presents.
Oh we did, my Amazon stock is fucking soaring. My 16 shares are up to over $50,000 in value at the moment, and since I can't cash them in for another 2-4 years, it's just going to keep going and going.
Some people were trying to argue Amazon wasn't doing enough for people's safety. Frankly, and I say this as the former Social Distancing Manager for my entire building, it was hogwash. Amazon was doing everything in it's power to keep people safe and provide the necessary equipment to protect people. But at the end of the day, human behavior was the main culprit, it's just easier to blame the corporate entity. When you choose to keep your mask down below your neck, talk to people two feet in front of you, and not wash your hands, is that your fault or Amazon's fault? And again, speaking from experience because it was my job, it was a lose lose situation. If we went too hard on people, they got angry and complained. If we lightened up, people got angry and complained because we weren't doing enough to prioritize safety.
For the longest time, Amazon was giving associates more money per hour (when we already pay people a minimum of $15 per hour), double overtime, unlimited time off, no questions asked, loosened the rules on phone usage, gave longer breaks, halted performance reviews, and hired hundreds of thousands of people amidst a crisis that saw most industries lay people off. We're still doing some of this stuff and just announced another bonus of $300 for all hourly associates (managers like me get nothing), so frankly, people calling for boycotts is ludicrous.
Apparently Paramount might be interested in creating another Avatar series for their Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access) streaming service. It's not a confirmation and more of just a "it'd be cool if we did this" that the CEO of ViacomCBS offhandedly said.
I hope that it does end up happening, and if it does I really hope that they bring back the original creators for it. I wouldn't really trust anyone else aside from Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko to do another iteration justice.
I wonder if it does come back, whether or not they'll make it more modern (maybe sometime between the 80's and now) or if they'd decide to go back into the past and expand on a previously established Avatar kind of like what they're doing now with the Kyoshi books.
If this does happen, it would be both odd and interesting to see if it competes in anyway with the live action version Netflix is still making. Now that Bryke are no longer involved in Netflix’s version, it certainly does free them up, but who knows. After how badly the two were treated by Nickelodeon, and then by Netflix, they might be a bit hesitant to go at it again.
With that said, if it happens, Paramount will have a subscriber in me. I trust those two with this universe more than anyone. The only other one who I would feel comfortable leaving it to is Aaron Ehasz, and he’s still busy with The Dragon Prince.
I’d love to see a series about Avatar Yangchen, the previous Air Nomad Avatar before Aang. Her tenure as Avatar is highly regarded and praised by people long after her death, and the peace that she created was so strong that it allowed the next Avatar in Kuruk to be a lot more lenient and uninvolved in worldly affairs. Or maybe a series about the 2nd Avatar, that way they can bring back Wan and use him as a spiritual guide for them (similar to Roku with Aang) and show how the world reacts to the creation of an Avatar.

They're still doing all the extended universe stuff so I think they'd still be up for it, unless they get burnt a third time.
The only other one who I would feel comfortable leaving it to is Aaron Ehasz, and he’s still busy with The Dragon Prince.
Okay yeah he'd be the only other person I'd trust, but I think he has a good thing going with Netflix for the foreseeable future so I doubt he'd readily switch distributors considering the amount of creative leeway he seems to get especially in comparison with Nickelodeon.
Or maybe a series about the 2nd Avatar, that way they can bring back Wan and use him as a spiritual guide for them (similar to Roku with Aang) and show how the world reacts to the creation of an Avatar.
I'd totally be down for that, especially if it's done in the traditonal chinese painting style like in the "Beginnings" episodes.
I also think it'd be kind of neat that if they were to do a more modern take, technology would be advanced enough to the point that society feels that it no longer needs an Avatar and the series kind of deals with that. Though I have absolutely no idea how I would expand further on that premise other than ending it on the note that the world will always need the Avatar.

Considering how some people reacted to the tech advancement in TLOK, and that they did touch upon the idea of the world no longer needing an Avatar and that being a huge part of Korra’s character, I think they would probably go in another direction with it. I’d be down for it if this is what they ended up going for, could be really cool to see, especially with (spoiler below):
It being the next Avatar in the second line and them only being able to call upon Korra and not previous Avatar’s due to Vaatu severing Korra’s connection.

Finally, I beat the Darklurker in Dark Souls 2. Whoever thought it was a good idea to just consume one human effigy in order to enter the boss area deserves to get hollowed. Beat this boss once and I'll probably never fight it again.
I would like to give special thanks to @dylanwoods777 for helping me out with my assignment regarding mental health a couple months back. Thanks to his assistance, the final interview, podcast and report was a success, and I managed to get a great mark on it

Where's my Pepsiman remaster/remake? The world needs the return of Pepsiman.
Ooookey-dokey, now that I'm feeling a bit more cheered up, I'm streaming GOTG Episode 3 now.

Come. See this overlooked game as I try to commentate about all the fun little details contained within.
Only four more days of quarantine then I'll be freeeeeeeeeeee
Only 28 more days of lockdown then I'll be freeeeeeeee
This is kind of some sort of update, so I'll just say it here: I'm hitting a week in school where I've been given shit-tons of homework and classes, so it's gonna be maybe a while before I get this project to be polished.
Great... My little brother has been lying about doing his schoolwork and attending class and now the school just came out to our house. Just perfect.
I guess having your schooling online does make it easy to ditch class. Not that it is good to do.
So you won't be taking the vaccine once it's available? Why?
Cyberpunk 2077 spoilers are out and about, so be wary when navigating through social media or any forums
tfw the plot to Cyberpunk 2077 is actually just Tales from the Borderlands
Cyberpunk is that TftB sequel we are waiting for.
That's the funny thing about it. They've got us in two different programs. He's in a recently formed program that is only county-wide, and I'm in one that is statewide. The program I'm in emails parents literally the minute they can as 'absent' or 'tardy'. I'm not getting why they only send my mother emails about his presence until after the day. (Which leads to the always great breakfast rant by my mother... You've gotta love those. lmao)

Gonna be free from hotel quarantine in less than 48 hours \( '0' )/
Well as free as my country's movement control order will allow me to be, but free nonetheless.
How do I lower the size of my comments on here?
Well, just don't write as many comments.
Oh, you mean the font size.
Use
<font size="1">This is in small font.</font>Thanks lol
Man. Tales from the Borderlands really gonna turn 6 years old today without re-releasing?
Jeez, it's been that long already? Could at least throw us a pair of socks...
The mods don't have to make themselves known to keep the peace.
They're always watching from the shadows.
Probably.
I had it...I had it in my grasp. It was the closest I ever got. My name, my street address, my damn credit card, it was all set. The PS5 was practically mine for the taking.

Item is out of stock.
Pain once again consumes my entire being.
Just did a blood test. They stabbed me and stole my blood. I'll know if I'm Covid free within the hour or so they say.
EDIT
Cool I tested negative for Covid. I shall be free from this place on the morrow.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Me when I find out the stores in my country cannot afford PS5 units until January 2021.
I have finally been released from the shackles of quarantine
Since it's the Steam Autumn Sale, anyone have any game recommendations they wanna share?
