I beat another FMV game, this one called The Complex.  Not bad, but not as good as The Late Shift, which was made by the same team.


I have to do a doubletake every time I see The Complex show up in a game search. The main actress who appears on the cover/intro art plays Katie on Letterkenny, an extremely funny show that I dearly love. So every time I scroll across it, I can't help but think I'm looking at a video game based on that show. And then I get disappointed remembering that it's not.

A friend of mine just passed away. He had medical issues, severely overweight and such, still this was sudden. Obviously I'm devastated, crazy when it's someone your age. Sad

I don't say this much Thank you all for being around all these years, it's a blessing to have.

So sorry to hear that, Vader. Losing family is tough, but sometimes losing friends is harder. You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. Losing people you choose to have in your life just hits that much harder.

Thanks guys, again always helps to have people like you guys around. This was my nerd friend, he was the one that won the sonic championship in 99, went to my high school so we met and were friends ever since. I've been through some loss, I feel I handle it as well as you can, but I have to go see his family which became extended family to me and that will be the hardest part. Just take care of yourselves and hug your loved ones cause you never know.

Also picked up Project Warlord for Steamdeck since it was under $2 and played that for a while.

Struggling to find a game that sticks right now, so going to give Hogwarts a good go.

I didn't know FMV games were still a thing. I looked up Complex on Steam and was surprised by the amount of them. I used to really enjoy those terrible Sega CD FMV games, lol.

Hogwarts is great; I need to get back to it after Oblivion.

Wales interactive have made a bunch. Strong reccommend for Late Shift if you want to dip your toes in. If you played Bandersnatch on Netflix, it's like that -- choose your own adventure stuff.

Saw this on Neogaf:


[According to the poll from a year and a half ago, 44% here have PlayStation as their main platform followed by 36% PC and Xbox at 14%. Only 6% here have a Nintendo as their main platform.]


Mildy interesting trivia.

Nintendo has been my main platform for the following gens: SNES, Gamecube, Switch.  In each of those gens they had better tech or in the case of the switch a USP - portability and docking.  In those three gens if a game was multiplat I'd get it on Nintendo's format. Gamecube was markedly better than PS2 graphically. At the same time I did go with Xbox as it was also on par with the gamecube, and in some cases better.

In fairness I was PC/Wii for a long period too, but there were so many third party games on PS3 and 360 that were not on the Wii that waned pretty quick.

I've really grown accustomed to playing portable.  It's just so convenient.  I don't even use the dock anymore when the telly is free.  It's come to a point where I'm debating on getting a Series S to play some games that don't seem to be coming to Switch2, but I'm hesitant to do so because I probably won't play much as I can't be bothered with gaming on the big screen anymore.

I had to think about it for myself, and was kinda surprised that I only consider the Wii as my main gaming platform from Nintendo for most of that generation. My main gaming platforms for each gen: Atari 7800, Genesis, Saturn, Xbox (Gamecube was really close, though), Wii, PS3, PS4 and PS5.

Nope, I own an Xbone X which I barely use.

Let's see... In the NES, SNES, Wii and Wii U (while it lasted) Nintendo was my main platform. Post-Switch though, I don't really see myself going back to their systems as a primary, and maybe not at all.

Nintendo was my primary all the way to the Wii. During the Wii U era, the PS4 was my primary console. I guess the Switch was also my main console so every one of Nintendo's consoles except Wii U.

So I've been playing Phantasy Star 1 (SMS) on Switch during my hour lunch at work the past two days. This is the Sega Ages version with the auto-map and reduced random encounters.

I'm going to chip away at it during lunch for a long while, I think. It's about 15-20 hours long and I've always wanted to complete it, since it's the first RPG I'd ever attempted.

I've always wanted to give the Phantasy Star games a go, but I think without the benefit of nostalgia they're just too old for me to enjoy at this point. The few times I've tried I've given up pretty quickly. That said if a new PSO game out, I'd jump on that.

Yeah, nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Most of the challenge was grinding and not having an auto map in the dungeons. Both of those issues are vastly improved now thankfully. otherwise, I wouldn't attempt it.
