Finally finished Mario and Luigi Brothership last night. Took me 59 hours, but I did do all the side quests and did all the challenges. In hindsight I wish I didn't do the challenges. All that grinding made me sick of the game and I just wanted to be finished with it by the end. I still really enjoyed it. A solid 8/10 in my books. I'm just an idiot for doing optional stuff I didn't enjoy so I can see the virtual check box get filled.

I very much hate Dragonborrow (upper Caelid). My character is around level 117 and this place is still kicking my arse.
I think I was around level 160 when I finished the game the first time. I didn't adhere to the "you gotta be this level" bros who like to torture themselves.

Is Astro Bot worth a purchase? Didn't give it much thought before but I really would love to play a cute, Mario-ish platformer, and like many others after TGA my curiosity is piqued...

Meh Metaphor should have won. Astrobot does not do it for me but then again I think BOTW should have won over Odyssey too.
I still need to play Metaphor. I have a pretty big backlog right now, so I'll wait for a worthwhile sale. Also people love to mod Atlus games l, so the longer I wait, the more extra free content I'll be getting.

It's the best platformer ever on a console that isn't Nintendo's and is as enjoyable as just about any mainline Mario, as far as im concerned. It's one of the few games in recent years where you can tell that the devs prioritized the fun factor above all else. And if you're privy to PlayStation and it's history you'll be rewarded with a ton of fun surprises. I highly, highly recommend it.

If I liked the Astro game that came with the PS5, I would love this one right? I forgot if I asked this before, sorry if I did.

The game awards: awards from some douche who wanted to feel special and make lots of money

Completely meaningless. Unless you're the wukong weirdos that cried over losing.

There always seems to be weird shit going on with the reporting around Black Myths. It seems this most interview has been mistranslated yet again. I think this is the 3rd time now?

This just confirmed it as a purchase for me. Can't wait. Thank you :)

NHL 24 does that stupid Altitude thing where they post tweets on screen when someone does something in a game (in this case, the 77th goal of my rookie season)

Makar still doesn't pass to me.

Update: he just made a lovely backwards pass to me off a faceoff for my 5th goal of the night and 79th goal of the season

Maybe he's alright after all
