Just started showing Brooklyn 99 to my girlfriend. We're only on season 2 now but she loves it and always cracks up at his delivery. He played Raymond Holt perfectly and made him one of my favorite characters on the show.

61 is too young. RIP

Felt it in Tokyo. Slight shaking for about half a minute. I can't imagine what it's like in Ishikawa now

I would say 99.9% of people are still on Reddit. I mainly use Lemmy to get the bigger news stuff and the gaming community is pretty active here too. Also I use Lemmy on mobile only really since the Reddit app is still terrible.

If I want to read about one of my other interests I'll go to the specific subreddit on my desktop browser and use old Reddit but with no account since I deleted mine a few months ago. Sometimes I'll post or comment on one of those smaller communities here but I don't want to be someone who posts tons of things to a community. Too much work for me.

Hopefully the user base and engagement will grow over the next few years. Welcome to being an early adopter!

Man, I want to get back into this game but just don't have enough free time anymore... Glad I finished Endwalker though. At least that's given me a bit of closure

I'm not really a fan of what's being done with LOTR now. I think we'll keep seeing more games set in this universe since Christopher Tolkien has passed away. I'm sure some will be good but based off Gollum we're also going to get absolutely terrible things that are just a quick cash grab with the LOTR name attached.

Gonna wait to play this till the definitive edition is out. Learned my lesson with Persona 5 and Royal.

Love this trailer. It gives off a pretty chill vibe and will hopefully give the scions a much needed break after Endwalker.

Though personally I thought Endwalker was a good stopping point I get that this is an mmo so there can never really be an end. I'm pretty sure even FFXI is still getting new content!

I'm looking forward to and dreading this at the same time. I really enjoyed Elden Ring but eventually got burnt out playing it after Leyndell and just started googling what I'd missed and doing it before finishing the game.

I hope this dlc is more focused and not another 150 hours of content. I'd be more than happy with 20 - 30. Also show us Miquella!

This will be a day 1 purchase for me once it's out of early access. I loved the first one but still don't plan on playing the game until it's done. So hopefully 2025 will be when it releases for me!

I tried Destiny 2 when it went free to play with some friends and none of us had a clue what was going on. Just go do these missions with minimal story reasons or explanation.

We got through the first area and to the main hub but it just seemed boring. Played a bit more after that but saw no improvements in the second area when it came to missions or story. I'm not sure why someone new would ever play this game?

It's good and bad. I miss most of the niche communities that I frequented on Reddit but on the other side I am commenting and interacting on Lemmy much more than reddit. It feels good to have some discussion. Hopefully the niche communities I miss will grow in time. Another good thing is that since Lemmy is much smaller than Reddit I'll run out of new content quickly and go do something else instead. So now I'm not mindlessly scrolling for ages. I am noticing that since this is such a small community with a very specific group of people that use it (left leaning/tech) that it generally has much less diverse content and memes compared to Reddit. This matters more on Lemmy since most of the content is focused on broad appealing things compared to Reddit which had bigger niche communities.

Interesting seeing the upvote/downvote ratio? Anyone wanna enlighten me or is Joseph just polarizing?

I remember liking Witcher 3's. It made the world feel large and lived in. Although I'm not the kind of person who needs to complete everything on a map. I have heard people complain about that

Agreed, people on here can't seem to understand how this product could be successful? Every post about it on here has the same upvoted comments about how people should get a Steam Deck instead. If someone comments about why they like it or are happy with it, it gets downvoted.

Personally I probably won't ever buy one of these but to act like your opinion about something as unimportant as a this is better than everyone else's screams of reddit to me. Why not just let people be happy with their purchase?

I'd be interested in reading that. Do you have a link to the article?

Drive.

Ryan Gosling plays the main character but is completely emotionless. It's actually so bad it's funny. The soundtrack is great though

Hope it's good. Feels a bit weird going from Endwalker which honestly felt like a definitive ending to what looks like a beach episode in Mexico lol. I actually thought we'd be spending less time with the scions too and meet new characters instead but I guess not? I'm still excited though. Need to find some time to catch up to 6.5 before summer next year

Not anymore I think? Pretty sure since at least last year games with Denuvo are no longer crackable. Or at least no one is cracking them.

Anyone know how long this game takes on average to beat? I have about two weeks of free time but then I won't have much time for gaming for around 2 months so wondering if I can fit this in or not?

Yeah, agree. That's why I think just having a fun time expansion could be good. Although harder to make players care if the stakes are low I guess?

I personally won't be playing this expansion for a while anyway. Maybe next year when I have more free time so I'll get to see the general consensus before going in. Hope it's good.

I can't wait for this game to finish being updated so I can play it. I always regretted playing Witcher 3 before the dlcs came out. I would like to play them some day but I feel like I'd need to replay the entire game again to get used to the controls and remember the story. I just don't have enough free time to dedicate to that when there are other newer games I'd rather play instead.

Looking forward to this. I don't think ragnarok is as good as 2018 but the gameplay in this is good and looking forward to any more story/lore updates in this universe. Especially anything related to Greek mythology!

Similarly Blind Guardian's cover of Mr Sandman

I just beat it yesterday. Took me about 115 hours but I enjoyed most of my time in that except for the last bits of side content which I thought weren't balanced that well. I think it's definitely a polarizing game but if you like it then it's probably the best Final Fantasy game to come out in the past 20 years.

If you're not enjoying it though then just drop it. It's just a video game at the end of the day.

Wonder what the dlc will be about?

I have a few ideas but don't want to put spoilers here.

If this is a continuation of the main story then I don't mind but if this is just content placed in the middle of the story like FF 15 then I don't know why I keep buying games on launch just to get a partially complete experience.

Let's hope the difficulty of this dlc is also higher. I felt like in the main game Clive melted any non boss enemies after the halfway point of the game

Thanks for sharing the link!

Hmmm, maybe it's possible but I think I'd rather not risk taking a two month break from the game. Guess I'll need to wait till I have more free time

Man, I really need to play this game at some point

True, god Endwalker was so good

This should be the top answer. I'm also a person that can't really enjoy a game unless it has a good story and Disco Elysium blew me away. The best game to come out since 2019 as far as I'm concerned

Yeah, I think that's why I didn't have an issue with it. I remember only doing maybe 1 or 2 of the barrels in the water in Skellige. I mostly used the question marks as small distractions as I went from one quest to another. I never focused on clearing them out.

You're right that most of the items weren't that rewarding to get. It's mostly just busy work. Hopefully rebirth keeps that stuff to a minimum and just has a large map with cool locations and unique well written side quests. Maybe a few collectibles scattered around the map to reward exploration too.

It's been a while since I played these games. Sigh... I guess it's time to get depressed again
