Write-Up: Finding Comfy Controllers. Critiques, Evaluation. - Elder Scrolls On-line
Select essentially the most current version quantity (until contraindicated, as we mentioned in an earlier lesson, by the specific needs of a mod in question). Anyway, back to the question of, what did it convey to the desk? Look over that page, read the first few, and then come back later when that you must know extra. Resource packs are nice for altering the look of a world, however to change the conduct of a world, you need to write some Java, or no less than edit some JSON files. So that's all it is advisable to know as to how to install Minecraft mods for Computer. And surf Youtube for Minecraft walkthroughs / Let's Play / Yogscast movies. Close this folder again and click on the Shaderpack you wish to play with. This could be a bit difficult because some sites might host infected information filled with malware and viruses, and you don’t want that.
JoyToKey: free but you can buy a license to support the developer. Library and press enter; then open 'Application Support' and at last 'minecraft'. If you are not sure of how to fix this, we recommend opening a Reside Chat or submitting a help ticket to our modpacks workforce. I've carried out this, and successfully created a trivial mod with it, but it is probably not where you need to begin. Mammoths are certainly one of the most important animals from this mod. One map that requires a resource pack is Mysterious East. Minecraftwiki's Map downloads tutorial. Not all Minecraft mods are created equal, so some may trigger crashes, corrupt save information or make the sport unplayable altogether. To get one of many objects you created in your mod, begin a world in inventive mode, then press 'e', click on on the rightmost tab of your stock, and scroll to the underside; you need to see it on the underside proper. Now to try consuming your meals, press Play, wield the brand new item as above, then switch to survival mode (/gamemode 0), run round until you get hungry (the wine glasses on the lower right of the HUD will begin emptying), then right click and hold.

Pittsie headcanons bc this angel deserves attention

His hair is super soft 24/7
He’s a huge video game nerd, first person shooters and puzzle games are his favorites
He plays on PS4 and computer
His favorite color is forest green, this just makes sense to me okay
He loves geese
Absolutely fucking loves them
He is scarily good at making animals trust him, even wild birds will just randomly land next to him and pester him, sometimes they even land ON him
Everyone says that birds do this because they think he’s a tree, but he doesn’t care he’s just happy the animals trust him
He doesn’t kill bugs if he finds them inside he alway relocated them back outside

He loves telling people stories in general about anything, even if some of them are made up
His laugh is the most contagious thing ever, it’s so perfectly loud and bubbly and happy that when you hear it you can’t help but join in laughing with him
He really likes crystals and has a huge collection of them, he doesn’t know what any of them do he just likes that they’re pretty and shiny
He’s a god at Minecraft, he very rarely dies; has beaten the ender dragon multiple times, always has full diamond gear within an hour of starting a world, and is fucking INCREDIBLE at building
He has a hardcore Minecraft world that he’s had for a little over 4 months and he’s only had 3 near death experiences

Hello! My name is Xani and I am 21 years old.
I am in search of a kawaii themed penpal!!!
I love making cute, small packages and writing letters to people.
About me:
I really love kawaii things as well as pastel pink!!
My favorite characters are Hatsune Miku, Totoro, Molang, as well as Pusheen.
I live in a small apartment with my dog and my boyfriend, we are looking to buy a kitten in the near future.
I am a college drop out, due to my mental health, I have a handful of mental illnesses that make my day to day life difficult, especially when it comes to going outside and being I'm public.
I am nonbinary, but I do use the pronouns she/they
I love playing videogames!!! But I only have a standard laptop that is a few years old, so it doesnt run most games. All I can play on it is Minecraft and Among Us. I do want to play Genshin Impact (my boyfriend plays it on his PS4), and I have played a few other games on the PS4 as well, such as Until Dawn. I am currently saving up for a gaming PC so I can play cute as well as horror games. I love horror even though I love cutesy romantic things as well. 
I am looking for a penpal who can put the same effort into packages and letters as I do, as I believe that is fair. I am US based, and due to COVID-19, I am only looking for a penpal that is in the US as well.

And that’s the episode.  And the season!
Glimmer has been healed, Brightmoon has been defended, and the Princess Alliance is whole again.  On the Horde’s side, Catra got promoted, Entrapta has even more tricks up her sleeve, and Scorpia...was there, I guess?
Overall, I felt the episode was a bit cramped.  Adora vs Catra got some focus, which was cool, but the villainous trio overall--who are my favorite characters in the show by a wide margin--didn’t get much screentime.  It’s Adora’s show, yes, but the trio were there--but Entrapta got one fun moment near the start and then was basically a non-entity for the rest of the episode, and Scorpia got it even worse--her fight was about five shots long, and she got one gag and zero other impact.
Oh well.  Seeing the princesses fight together was nifty, seeing Adora’s powers develop was nifty, and the fact that I wasn’t sure who was going to win was actually fairly suspenseful.
“Nifty” doesn’t really push it into the top, though.  This show is at its best when it’s being funny (Light Hope) or is focused on Adora’s personal relationships (In the Shadows of Mystacor, and especially Promise).  The action sequences are kind of just pretty good; rarely have they impacted me much at all.  As a result, The Battle for Brightmoon comes in at my new #6 for the series, between The Beacon and The Sword, Part 2.
Up next for the liveblog is going to the the three Patron Picks!  We’ll be starting with Paranoia Agent on Monday.  For streams, I’m going to be changing my plans a bit--I have a new capture card coming in the mail that will be here in a week or two that will hopefully make it so that streaming my PS4 games isn’t fuzzy and horrible, so we’re going to be doing Switch titles in the meantime instead of doing The Outer Worlds.  I’m planning to stream some Pokemon Shield pokedex work and stuff today, but keep an eye out for Astral Chain and maybe Transistor in the coming week or two.
Anyways, thank you all for tuning in!  I’ll see you next time!

OTHER PEOPLE YOU MAY ENJOY:
I may have been one of the earlier Steven Universe liveblogs, but a whole community of livebloggers has sprung up over the last five years!   I linked to a bunch individually for a few wrap-ups, but honestly, this end-slate is already eight billion miles long, so I’m just gonna link to my links page.  Click here if you want recommendations of other livebloggers, or other neat people, or webcomics and podcasts that I recommend.

Incomplete Games in 2020
Tumblr media
They can’t all be winners
Tumblr media
Minecraft vs. Zombies 2 System: PC Genre: Tower Defense (PVZ Subgenre)
Yes, you read that right. There exists a Plants vs. Zombies fangame... featuring Minecraft... and also Touhou for some reason... and it’s not even the ONLY game with all of these identifiers. It’s actually a neat game despite the layers of bootlegness here. The only reason I didn’t finish this is because one level, 2-11, is really dumb. Without spoiling anything, it has an interface screw that not only makes it near impossible to win, but I’m pretty sure is gonna send the wrong type of person into a seizure. Now, it may have just been my computer settings (I’m looking at footage at this, and the flashing lights aren’t nearly as bad on other people’s playthroughs) but on my version of the game, with my laptop? Holy shit is the effect disconcerting, and I’m not even an epileptic person.
It’s a neat game with some great ideas for what a PVZ sequel should have been, but fuck doing that level. That game needs an update, and that update needs to remove the flashing lights.
Tumblr media
Suikoden System: PS3 (PS1 Classics) Genre: JRPG
I’ve been meaning to play this since that Suikoden spiritual successor got crowdfunded. I gave this game about three hours before dropping it. It just felt like a slog. Nothing in the three hours I played was interesting from a story perspective (oh gee, I sure am surprised that the empire ordering me to collect overdue taxes was actually super duper corrupt*) to the gameplay (three hours in and still no skills. Also JRPG’s with random encounter systems that aren’t like Labyrinth of Touhou or Etrian Odyssey are the worst)
*seriously, has there even been a JRPG where the words “taxes” have been uttered and they haven’t been connected to some super corrupt evil empire?
Tumblr media
Crypt of the Necrodancer System: PS4 Genre: Roguelike / Rhythm Game
Add this to the list of games that become unplayable without a functioning d-pad. Seriously, it’s only the one button (the down button) but apparently that’s all it takes
Tumblr media
Wild Arms 3 System: PS4 (PS2 Classics) Genre: JRPG
The game I’m most disappointed in not finishing. I’m actually really starting to enjoy the complexity of the battle system (despite how slow it takes for actual battles to play out). No one says I can’t finish it next year, of course, but I do regret putting this game off for so long.
Tumblr media
Unravel System: PS4 Genre: Puzzle Platformer
Not sure why I decided to play this as I do not like puzzle games or platformers, let alone puzzle platformers. It’s a perfectly okay game for everyone else, just not for me
Tumblr media
Demon Crystals  System: PS4 Genre: Twin Stick Shooter (with RPG elements)
Okay so I’m not actually ashamed to say I didn’t finish this. I picked this up on the cheap, gave it a few levels and eventually dropped it since it didn’t feel worth finishing. Instead of having tailor made levels with interesting challenges like a good little shmups, this game has randomly generated enemies and powerups on each level. The only reason this game is beatable is because 1) it has unlimited continues and 2) there’s a leveling system to ensure that eventually, you’ll be able to clear a level, not because of skill, but because you’re a high enough level to tank more hits.
I really wanted to like this, just because it has a neat, Ghosts N Goblin-style aesthetic but this just ended up being whatever. As a game, it is as passible and playable as it is forgettable.

The SSSS: Chapter 3: The First Clue
"Sooo, what should we do now?" Winston asks, the boredom spilling from his voice.
"Could we head over to Tess's house? Her moms would be fine if we all chilled there. Plus there's WiFi and pizza rolls!!" Octavia grins, standing up and stretching, the pops making Winston cringe. The blonde stands up as well and nods.
"Yea, let me call them to double check and I'll grab us an uber while y'all grab your stuff."
CJ helps everyone gather their things while Tessa asks for permission and calls the uber.
"Thank you Ms.Ann." CJ mumbles under their breath as they slid into the uber.
"How ya know it was Mrs.T and not Ms.C?" Octavia asks, her sharp ears catching the mumble easily.
"Cause she knows Mama is a hard ass while Momma is a big ole softie for y'all!" Tessa giggles, the contagious sound spreading to Winston. The uber driver cracks a smile at the joyful group.
They arrive soon at the Smith household, Winston unlocking the front door carefully and kicking it open dramatically.
"Mama Smithhhhhh! Momma Annnnnnnnn!" he yells, eyes sparkling and a grin overtaking his face.
"Winnieeee!!" A high pitched voice yells back from inside. Winston dashes inside and with a joyous laugh he gets caught in a hug by a pink haired woman. She squeezes him tight, ignoring the fact he can't breathe. The other teens stroll in casually, shutting the door behind them calmly.
"Welcome home love, me and Antoinette are going to go out for dinner later tonight so don't be alarmed if we aren't home later." A calm voice washes over the other teens, a dark arm giving Tessa a comforting hug.
"And we might stay the night at a hotel! Don't wait up!" Mrs.Smith's wife cheers, still hugging her unofficially adopted son.
"Hi Mrs.Smith, how's Ms.Smith?" CJ asks politely, automatically helping the black woman with the dishes. Mrs.Smith smiles gently before answering.
"She's alright, obviously." She mutters, shooting a concerned glance at her cackling wife. Tessa grins as she joins Octavia's snickering at Winston flailing slightly in Ms.Ann's grip.
"Baby! Let the poor boy go! You'll break his back!" Mama Smith shouts from the sink. Ann smiles sheepishly before releasing Winston. The boy huffs dramatically as Ms.Ann apologizes.
"Go up to my room! I'll grab some snacks." Tessa says while rummaging through the fridge. Cj apologies for not helping finish the dishes but drags Winston away from his chattering with Ms.Ann. Octavia quickly follows.
"The usual?" Tessa shouts up the stairs, getting various noises of agreement from the others. She grabs drinks and snacks, accepting her mother's forehead kisses before going up to her room. She sits in an available spot, giving everyone their designated snacks.
"What the hell is our plan now?" Cj asks, licking the remnants of their sour patch kids off their fingers.
"I-, actually I have zero clue." Tessa says, deciding to just sip her lemonade in silence.
"I think Esmeralda said she'd appear around this time, it's near noon right?" Winston asks before stuffing his face with bbq chips. Octavia quickly gets distracted by the Ps4, putting down her redbull to play minecraft. A few minutes pass before a poof of green smoke appears in the middle of the bedroom.
"Esme!! Nice to see you again!" Octavia cheers sarcastically. Esmeralda rolls two of her eyes and turns to Winston,
"So, I have the location of where the first portal appeared, go investigate it." She demands coldly, dropping a slip of paper into Winston's open hand. Cj raises an eyebrow at the rude behavior.
"What are you going to be doing?" they ask, sipping their bottled coffee.
"I'll be doing more important work than you, others." Esmeralda replies, her nose stuck up and arms crossed.
"Make this trip quick and snappy, you have more work to do." And with those words she disappears once more. Cj scrunches their nose as they think about the witch.
"Dang she gets more stuck-up everytime she visits" Octavia complains.
"I guess we should get going." Tessa mumbles, standing up and stretching. Winston unfolds the scrap of paper and reads out the coordinates.
"Really? The North West kinda of location? Just use the closest address oh my lordy." Winston grumbles as he reads the slip.
"What are the coordinates?" Cj asks, motioning to Tessa to get out her phone. While Winston repeats the numbers, Tessa punches it into her phone.
"It's the HardGill warehouse number 16 on Whipple St." She announces with a smile. Cj chuckles as the blonde gets smothered in hugs by the two immortals.
"That's not even 10 minutes away by walking!" Winston says with his trademark smile.
The group of friends walk to the warehouse yard and quickly find the correct building. They enter the building and Octavia quickly gets distracted with Winston.
"This is where I got my head cut off!" He exclaims, the sound echoing in the building
"Oh dang really?" Octavia is almost overcome with laughter as she listens to Winston.
"You should have heard Tessa screaming, she was so shocked pfttttt."
"I bet she was freaked!"
CJ rolls their eyes and searches the building along with Tess.
"Cj! I think I found- woah!" In her search, Tess moves round a bunch of empty boxes, finding a note but causing the box tower to topple over. CJ quickly uses their tall body to hit the falling boxes away from Tessa.
"Be more careful T! You're seriously gonna get hurt one of these days!" They scold, hands on their hips and a concerned filled frown. Tessa gives her older friend a small smile.
"Sorry Cj, I know you worry." She says, before grabbing the note. She walks over to an empty spot and sits on a crate, reading the yellowed paper.
"It's in latin, you know what it says? I think I understand the first few words but Octavia isn't the best language teacher." Tessa smiles apologetically as she hands the note to Cj.
"Ut me uhum atque unicum. To my one and only. That's all I can get figured out." Cj grumbles, eyebrows furrowing and lips pursed. They look over to Winston and Octavia, who were currently climbing the towers of crates and jumping from pile to pile, their laughs echoing throughout the warehouse. Cj sighs and glances over at Tessa.
"You wanna get them down here or should I?" Cj asks. Tessa nudges them in the side.
"You know I'd be joining them if I could." she admits. Cj laughs softly and ruffles Tessa's blonde locks before cupping their hands around their mouth and letting out a shout. Winston and Octavia stop instantly.
"Come on guys! Let's focus and translate this note!" They say with a grin once the immortals get down from their makeshift playground. Octavia chuckles and rubs the back of her neck with a smile.
"Sorry Cee." She says, Winston sits on Tessa with a mischievous grin, plucking the note out of her hand. Ignoring her struggling and empty threats he translates the notes.
"It says To my one and only. You found my clue! good job .The next is where the lonely go. To forget their problems. Their mind fills with haze with every sip of the amber." He looks up and smiles at Cj
"By the way Cj, keep studying latin, your butchering of the language is disgraceful!"
"Get off me ya big lump of tin!" Tessa shouts, hitting the bigger boy.
"Ah ah ah, what's the magic words?" Winston asks teasingly.
"I know what the answer to the riddle is!" She says, still squirting from under her friends weight. Octavia pushes Winston off instantly.
"Where?" She asked, pride shining in her eyes. Cj chuckles and helps Winston up.
"Where is itT?" They ask, brushing the dust off of Winston's shoulders.
"The bar! Where lonely people drink to forget." she says, getting up.
Winston grins and nudges Tess in the side.
"Smarty pants." He teases. Tess grins and pockets the note. Octavia googles the nearest bars and shows the list to her friends.
"But which one? There's at least 7 nearby." She says,
"Well, what are they called? Maybe there's a clue or sum." Winston plucks the phone from Octavia and scrolls through the list.
"What do you two think? Narrow it down for us." Tessa says, leaning over Winstons shoulder to take a look.
"Not the Hilltop, it's small enough that someone would have noticed the next clue already." Winston mumbles, thinking out loud.
"Probably not Belltower,it's really new and has tight security." Octavia replies, noticing Winstons line of thinking.
"Maybe the Silver Pick? It's big and popular."
"It's been shut down for a few months for renovations" The two immortals throw ideas back and forth, discarding each establishment for one reason or another. Tessa takes another glance at the list of bars, searching her head for an answer. Leaning back over Winston's shoulder, she pipes up.
"How about The Secret Note?" Pointing a painted nail to a bar on the list.
"That actually makes sense. It's a mildly popular place, but not very well known,the bouncers can be easily bribed. Its off an alley on Jay Blv." Cj talks to themself while pacing back and forth.
"How bout we check there first,then rethink it if it's not there?" Octavia suggests, stopping Cj in their tracks.The group of friends leave the warehouse, chattering excitedly.

Spider-Man PS4 - Sequel Suit Ideas (Part 1)
As I’ve finally got around to actually getting Spider-Man PS4 last month (late to the party, blah blah blah, what the fuck ever) and playing it to 100% completion (just have to do this for “Silver Lining” and then I’ll 100% the entire game), I’ve been trying to get every single suit from the main campaign (done), all the DLC suits (will be done with this when I finish “Silver Lining”), and the ones added in via updates (done).
That said, I’m as ready for the inevitable sequel as everyone else. I even recently played an online quiz about identifying the various Spider-Man costumes, and that gave me some ideas to think about possible suits for the sequel that were not featured in the game already. I am going to share various different Spider-Man suits I found and/or possible suit powers for them if applicable. Everything below the cut:
1. Bullet Points suit- This costume comes from an alternate universe in the “Bullet Points” comic series that is set on Earth-70105. On this world, Bruce Banner still invented the gamma bomb but Peter Parker got caught in the blast and ended up becoming that world’s version of the Hulk instead. Feeling personally responsible for what happened, Banner sought to do everything he could to cure Parker. When his idea to attempt to get a blood sample from the Hulk to develop a cure was rejected by that world’s Reed Richards and SHIELD, Banner turned to another plan. Attempting to dissect a spider that also survived the blast, the spider soon bit Banner, bestowing upon him the spider powers.
Suit power idea- None that I can immediately think of, since he’s just got the standard spider powers and Bruce Banner’s intellect.
Tumblr media
2. Gerry Drew suit- Those of you who haven’t read the Spider-Girl comics probably would have never heard of this guy. Gerald “Gerry” Drew is from that series’ setting of Earth-982 where Mayday “May” Parker’s comics take place. He is the son of Jessica Drew, the original Spider-Woman. Gerry’s story is rather sad: When he was born, Gerry was diagnosed a strange blood-borne disorder due to radiation exposure in his mother’s womb because of his mother’s powers. When normal doctors/medicines couldn’t save him, Jessica recreated the experiment that made her into Spider-Woman and cured her of her own radiation poisoning. The experiment gave Gerry powers, but unfortunately didn’t cure him. The trauma caused from Gerry’s illness led to Jessica and her husband divorcing, and Gerry felt as if this was his fault, becoming withdrawn. Jessica tried to comfort him by telling him stories of her days as a superhero, and Gerry’s favorites were the stories involving Spider-Man. Inspired by his hero and determined to make his short time on Earth count, Gerry designed his own Spider-Man costume and convinced his mother to train him to use his powers. On his first day as Spider-Man, Gerry dropped by the Daily Bugle for a chance encounter with none other than J. Jonah Jameson and an older Peter Parker (who had long since been retired and lost his leg by that point, and is the screenshot used for his image). However, after a few misadventures with Spider-Girl and some training under Darkdevil (Daredevil’s successor), Jessica soon realized that Gerry’s use of his powers was accelerating his illness. Reaching out to Julia Carpenter (the second Spider-Woman), she told Peter Parker to get the original Spider-Man to convince Gerry to seek help. Peter dressed up in the old costume and did exactly that, leading to Gerry giving up the superhero life to focus on his health as Reed Richards worked to develop an ongoing treatment.
Suit power idea- Since Gerry’s strength is far superior to that of either Peter Parker or May’s, I’d say to give him some kind of strength boost ability. His durability is also such that merely tensing his muscles while getting hit by the punch of a trained heavyweight boxer caused the latter to break his wrists. Perhaps some kind of reverb effect where enemies take some reflected damage on contact (kinda like the Thorns effect from Minecraft).
Tumblr media
3. Spider-Man 2211 suit- Here we have a TimeSpinner named Max Borne, the Spider-Man from the year 2211 AD. He works as part of an organization that tries to prevent disruptions in time. As you can see, his costume contains four extra mechanized arms. He worked with Spider-Man 2099 in defeating the 2211 Hobgoblin (who turned out to be his daughter Robin), who tried to bring chaos into their reality by bringing another version of Uncle Ben into it, but Robin was erased from existence. Max was subsequently shot and killed by the Chameleon of his Earth, who was posing as Uncle Ben.
Suit power idea- This one’s a fairly obvious choice. While his armor possess multiple webbing capabilities that could easily make gadgets in their own right by themselves, the only real choice here is to give this suit the four extra arms (basically like the Iron Arms ability in the first game).
Tumblr media
4. Aracnído Jr. suit- Here is one of the more obscure ones on this list. Known on Earth-15349 only as “Junior” (his full name is unknown), he is the son of a Mexican wrestler that went by the same nickname. At some point, he developed spider powers through unknown means. One day, his father was injured due to unnecessary roughness by his opponent in the ring, Escorpión. The latter did not help despite Aracnído Sr.’s pleas. Before going to the hospital, Junior went to the locker rooms where he found Escorpión getting paid for letting Aracnído Sr. get hurt, the latter later dying from his injuries. Junior decided not to let this stand, and soon adopted a vigilante lifestyle. Taking up his father’s old name from the ring, Aracnído Jr. became the resident protector of Mexico City.
Suit power idea- None that I can really think of, since he doesn’t really have any abilities that set him apart from Peter Parker. The most I can think of would be for his costume to act as the sequel game’s version of the wrestler suit, or give him some Mexican wrestling moves.
Tumblr media
5. Imperfect suit- This particular is semi-obscure, so I understand if some of you haven’t seen this one before. This suit comes from the 2005 fighting game titled “Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects”. Aside from the new Imperfects team introduced in the game, every character came with an “evil”/“corrupted” skin, and this is what that looked like for Spider-Man. While that game itself didn’t do that well, I’m mainly including this because I like the way this suit looks. For those who played Marvel vs Capcom 3, there is a skin for Spider-Man with a near-identical color scheme to this suit. Perhaps this is where the inspiration for that skin came from? Or it could just be a coincidence.
Suit power idea- Since this suit was pretty much just an alternate skin in an old fighting game, I don’t really see any unique abilities this one could have for itself.
Tumblr media
6. Ben Reilly suit- The suit briefly worn by Ben Reilly when Peter retired from being Spider-Man to spend more time with Mary Jane to raise their child. Not wanting to just wear Peter’s original costume, Ben made a redesigned version for himself. Once Peter got back in action, however, Ben then made his more well-known outfit: the Scarlet Spider suit.
Suit power idea- The only thing I can really think to do with this suit is to just reuse the holo decoy power that came with the Scarlet Spider I suit in the first game.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately I’m going to have to cut this post short here and only halfway through the group of suits I wanted to discuss. Due to Tumblr’s stupid 10-image per post limit, I have to split this series of posts into multiple parts, and I am going to discuss six suits per post.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think. Do you like these suits? Do you want to see others in the next game instead? Any possible ideas for suit powers for any of the ones that I didn’t list ideas for myself? Let me know. In the meantime, I’ll see you all on part 2.

Lasagna: Paranormal Despacito
I did a livestream on YouTube, and wrote a one-shot with everyone watching. This is the result!
#LasagnaSquad
#AnxietyShipping
Summary: Lasagna Man has kidnapped Lloyd, and Jay has to save him. An adventure about falling in love, meeting new friends, and T-posing while singing Despacito.
Ninjago, 24th June 2018, 14:37
It was a nice noon in Ninjago. Cole was experimenting with food, when he felt something weird in his body. It was as if he was being possessed.
And he was.
Casper the ghost was very bored and took over his body to have fun. He took some tea from Wu's tea shelf and threw it in the lasagna. Then, he passed out.
It was Lloyd's turn to try out Cole's cooking. The ninja took turns eating it, since it was so terrible. With sorrow in his eyes, Lloyd took a bite.
He felt dizzy.
He was about to call Kai for help, but before he could say anything, he disappeared with the bowl of lasagna in hand.
Jay, who was at the room next door, heard a mini explosion. He ran to the kitchen, and was shocked to see Cole passed out. He slapped him.
"Wake up, Cole!" Jay said, slapping him. "What happened?"
Cole opened his eyes and stared at Jay. "Jay, Casper possessed me. Before I passed out completely, I saw Lloyd disappear. He popped out of existence. You have to help him."
And then, Cole passed out once again.
Jay knew what he had to do. He summoned his dragon while doing cyclondo at the same time, because I miss it since the Hagemans got rid of it. He went to his dad's lab and found his updated Borg Watch.
He looked into the screen of the tool and spotted some lasagna paranormal activity in a random dimension. He quickly pressed on the screen and teleported…
But he clicked on the wrong option, sending him somewhere else.
Queens, 24th June 2018, 15:49
Peter was at the verge of crying as he walked out of Stark Industries. He couldn't believe Tony didn't let him take part in their next mission. He was an Avenger! It was just unfair.
Peter looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star… but it was daytime! He soon realised it was nothing else but a screaming teenager falling from the sky.
Peter quickly shot some spider-webs and caught the young man, saving him from sure death.
"It's okay, buddy, I've got you now. You're safe!" Peter said, landing somewhere safe.
"I HAVE FINGERS!" Jay screamed, looking at his hands.
Peter was confused by the brunet's reaction. He looked at him, making eye contact.
He was beautiful.
He had never seen someone so beautiful. His freckles were adding to his adorableness. His bright blue eyes were staring back at him with the same curiosity.
"H-Hi…" Jay said, breaking the silence first. "Thanks for saving me."
"It's my job, don't worry about it." Peter said, placing him on the ground. It had only been a few seconds and he already missed his warmth. "I'm Peter."
"I'm gay." Jay said, and quickly regretted his choice of words. "I MEANT JAY!"
"Oh, you aren't?" Peter mumbled, disappointment filling his eyes. "Anyway, I was just-"
"Oh no! I forgot about Lloyd!" Jay interrupted.
"Who is Lloyd?" Peter asked.
"One of my best friends. He is like family. I have to save him!"
"I'll help!" Peter said. "It's not like I have anything left to do here."
"Okay, then let's go!" Jay said, grabbing Peter's arm and tapping on his watch's screen.
It was the best three seconds of Peter's life.
Detroit, 24th June 2039, 16:32
"Connor, stop licking the evidence for once in your life!" Hank complained, as Connor put the weird substunce on the floor into his mouth.
"It's… Strange." Connor said, after analyzing it. "It's thirium but it has lasagna in it."
"Pfff!" Hank huffed. "What kind of sick person would do that? More food for Sumo, I guess."
Suddenly, they heard two voices coming from the opening of the cave. They saw the shadow of two silhouettes holding hands.
"Stay back, Connor." Hank ordered, and Connor obeyed.
They soon came face to face with two teenage boys, who looked very lost, confused, but also… in love.
"Hi." Connor stepped in front of Hank, seeing how they were harmless. "My name is Connor. I'm the android sent by CyberLife. And you are?"
"I'm Peter Parker, also known as Spider-man in my dimension." Peter said, smiling.
"My name is Jay." Jay said. "Jay Walker."
Suddenly, Hank bursted into laughter. "HIS NAME IS JAY WALKER."
Peter glared at him and held Jay's hand tighter. "Don't you dare insult him, whatever-your-name-is!"
"I'm Hank Anderson." Hank said, holding back a laugh. "We're investigating a homicide."
"A homicide?" Jay gasped. "LLOYD IS DEAD?"
"We have yet to discover a body." Connor explained. "But there are traces of lasagna leading deep in this cave."
"I guess we should just team up, since we are looking for the same thing." Peter suggested, and no one went against it.
The group walked deeper into the cave, and suddenly, they heard a noise.
"TAKE COVER!" Jay screamed and fell on top of Peter to protect him.
A cheeseball flew past them.
Peter wanted to thank him, but he had no time, as another attack occured.
"What the fuck is happening?" Hank asked, clearly annoyed and shocked.
"YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE, DISRESPECT MY CHEESE."
The group looked ahead, seeing a yellow android standing in front of a cage.
On further notice, Jay realised that Lloyd was there!
"That's him! That's my friend!" Jay pointed at him. "Lloyd, are you okay?"
And then, something unbelievable happened.
"I'm okay, but fRESH AVOCADOO!"
"Is he always like that?" Peter asked.
"No…" Jay mumbled. "Something is wrong."
"I scanned him." Connor said. "He seems to be influenced by the lasagna. He can only meme, sing and rap."
"That's amazing." Hank snorted.
"Press F to pay respects." Lloyd said, tears rolling down his cheeks. He needed this to stop.
"I am sorry." Connor said. "The PS4 controller does not have an F. You can choose between the square, the triangle, the circle, and X."
"Oh, for fuck's sake, Connor, let's just kill this guy." Hank said, pointing his gun at the Lasagna Deviant.
A cheeseball fell on Jay's Borg Watch, and an explosion happened. In a matter of seconds, they all disappeared.
Minecraft, 24th June 2018, 17:38
Jay groaned, opening his eyes. He felt something soft. He looked around him, only to see that he was sitting on top of Peter.
His heart was beating fast and he just couldn't stop thinking about getting closer to the other teen.
"Oh no…" Hank mumbled. "It can't be…"
The lieutenant looked around him, in shock. As a millennial, he knew exactly where he was.
Minecraft.
"My powers are only becoming stronger here!" Lasagna Man said, standing up. "Prepare to die!"
"Not so fast!" Lloyd said. "I have the power of God and anime by my side!"
"That's right, deviant!" Connor stood next to Lloyd. "Even though I am a deviant myself-"
"You're going down!" Peter said, helping Jay up.
"Noteblocks, go!" Jay said, and music started playing.
Lloyd T-posed, determined to stop Lasagna Man.
"My name is Lloyd,
you're a stupid android.
My rhymes are sick
and you'll die quick."
Lasagna Man T-posed too, hatred in his eyes.
"I'm a lasagna,
and I'm a brotha.
Do you know da way?
I am going to slay!"
Connor stepped in, T-posing hardcore.
"My software is stronger
You're like internet explorer!
Give up,
or get-"
Hank interrupted Connor, smirking and T-posing.
"-FUCKED!"
Jay and Peter got up as one, T-posing, feeling stronger than ever.
"We met two hours ago,
our love is real, here we go.
Our gayness sends you to hell
while we're going to taco bell."
Lloyd broke the T-post first, dabbing. Then everyone followed.
"DE
SPA
CITO!"
And everyone joined in, singing the lyrics, which they absolutely knew to heart.
"Now is your chance, Lloyd!" Jay yelled. "The final blow! Only you can stop this!"
Lloyd cleared his throat, and built a guitar. "I DON'T WANNA DO THE DISHES, NO MORE, I DON'T WANNA DO THE DISHES, NO MORE!"
Lasagna Man fell on his knees. "No… You're too strong…"
"You'll never win, Lasagna Man!" Jay said. "It's over!"
"NOOOOOO!" Lasagna Man screamed and exploded.
It was raining cheese.
"Oh nice, food for Sumo!" Hank said, putting it all in the fridge he just built. Because Minecraft.
"Jay, I don't feel so good…" Peter mumbled, sensing the end was near.
"Oh no!" Jay said, looking at his watch. "We hit the nuclear note! We have to get out of here before we die with this universe!"
Peter used his spider-webs to tie everyone together, and Jay teleported them all back to Detroit, where they said goodbye to Hank and Connor.
Then, they went back to Queens.
"I'll give you guys a moment." Lloyd said, turning away.
"Jay…" Peter said, holding both of the teenager's hands in his. "You showed me that I don't need to be depended on someone else. I can save the world on my own. But today, you saved my world."
Jay felt tears forming in his eyes. "You saved my world too, Peter. I will never forget this or you. You're the most perfect person I've ever met."
The two teenagers leaned in, closing their eyes. Before they knew it, their lips were touching, and they were kissing.
Jay was the first one to pull away, making eye contact again. He couldn't believe he wouldn't see these beautiful eyes again. "I love you, Peter."
Peter nodded, tears running down his own cheeks. "I love you too, Jay. We will meet again."
"Yes. For now, this is goodbye, my love."
The two teenagers handshaked, and then Jay disappeared with Lloyd.
Ninjago, 24th June 2018, 18:27
"We're back, my homies! Alexa, play despacito." Lloyd said, sitting on the couch.
"Cool bro." Kai said.
"We met an android." Jay added.
"Other than me?" Zane asked.
"And Jay has a boyfriend now." Lloyd said, teasing the blue ninja. "Dab on the haters, my homies."
"JAY HAS A BOYFRIEND!?" Cole screamed, finally waking up.
It was going to be a long evening.
THE END.

no worries at all! i've been busy too, i'm so ready for the break coming up 😭 hope you're having chill weekends too!
hmm, song recs you say? 🤔 lately i've been slightly obsessed with 'here with me' by daniel blake (it's a cover) and it's so good! i also love 'dandelions' by ruth b. and 'better days' by dermot kennedy 💕 let me know your honest opinion, i wanna get a better idea of your music taste! and please do recommend me some songs :D
i know! left & right and home are too good! exactly, home is so calming and healing 🥺 makes me want to get wrapped up in a blanket, with some hot chocolate~
yeah, exams are coming up...😭😭 thank you! hopefully i do well 😬 and omg i get you! i have a few games on steam but mainly on ps4, and like i keep buying games but they pile up 'cause i never have time to play them haha. ooh adventure games, those are so nice! the only ones i know are gta v (love that game), acnh (my guilty pleasure, although i don't feel that guilty about it tbh), and minecraft, although i've never played modded minecraft, and i'm pretty bad at it too haha, i just like playing and building mediocre houses to get through the night 😂 i love games like that too, adventure ones! my all-time favorite is the uncharted series! the graphics are amazing and i love the adventure aspect. i also really like infamous: second son, the last of us, telltale games (like the wolf among us, the walking dead, tales from the borderlands) i could go on and on haha
sort of! guitar no, although i could probably learn a few songs again, and i do remember a few songs on the piano :) i'm determined to learn one song from a game on the piano, so i can play it and wow people haha! but yeah it was definitely very fun! and as for books, i could honestly read anything. i'm reading the martian now, but i also have books on true stories, mystery and crime, random cringey romance books, like my taste in books is all over the place! what about you? tennis was really fun! it was just something i did in my own time, i did lessons at a place near my house with a few other people, it's not something i ever got seriously into which was probably for the best haha
me too, soft stan all the way!! fear era (for example) was honestly *chef's kiss* but their cute happy concepts are definitely my favorite! ^-^
- secret carat 🎄
hello!! i hope you have a relaxing weekend and/or winter break!~
out of the songs that you mentioned, i only knew 'dandelions' but 'here with me' is so soft 🥺 and 'better days' is very uplifting! i ended up listening to more dermot kennedy songs after i played that one haha thank you for the recs! 🥰 hm, my current repeats playlist includes 'betelgeuse' by yuuri, 'square' by baek yerin, and 'this december' by ricky montgomery!
i hope your exams went swimmingly! (this is assuming you're done but if you still have some upcoming ones, you got this!! 🙌) LOL yeah it's like you gotta buy this game while it's on sale or smth but then you never get around to it because there's no time :( it's an endless cycle haha i'm actually not the best at modded minecraft either since there's so much to keep track of but it's fun! i do love the building aspect of minecraft in general, it's very relaxing (until a creeper destroys your house because mobgriefing is on LMAO) oh man i haven't taken a look at my island in a while, i keep losing motivation to work on it. hopefully your island looks more presentable than mine! 😅 does your island have a certain theme to it?
ooh i haven't played any of the uncharted games before but i heard they're good! i heard they were releasing a movie? 👀 feels kinda sus but i don't really know too much about the game to make any judgments haha i've been meaning to get into some telltale games - notably tales from the borderlands, because i really liked bl2! adventure games are so much fun ;-; esp if the storyline really gets you hooked
yay!! what song were you planning to learn on piano, if you don't mind me asking? o: that will definitely wow people, for sure!! ooh the martian - i've watched the movie but i had to look it up to see if it was based on a novel because i never knew that wow haha random cringey romance books, i feel that. i normally read mystery and crime as well actually! i also love anything that is fantasy/alternate universe-ish. but i recently read 'you've reached sam' because my friend told me it was all over tiktok and she wanted to read it, but she was scared it'd be too sad. so i took one for the team and read it for her, and man i was bawling every chapter LOL
haha i understand the not getting into it seriously. as long as you find it fun, that's really all that matters! have you gotten into other sports as well o:
soft stans!! 🥰 fear is absolutely *chef's kiss* i agree 100% but yes, the happier concepts are just so :(((
it's almost christmas!! wait actually.. do you celebrate christmas? and if so, do you have any family/friend traditions? :D and if you don't celebrate christmas, do you still get together with friends and/or family for holiday festivities?
i hope you're staying safe and warm! (if it's cold where you are! otherwise, pls keep cool if it's too hot LOL)

Grand Theft Auto
@Cumquat @RockstarGames Dear rockstar, Please allow me to solve my problem with my game. I am not certain if this is a network mistake but I spoke to my IT man and the community is fine.
GTA pros will still recognize the way the game beneath it all works. The manual ends with sections on system demands, codes/cheats, along the decoration guide. The servers are shit, the content is shit, and everybody else I have played the game together with has significant difficulties with it. Originally released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in 2013, it had been re-released for its Xbox One and PS4 a year afterward, also in 2021, it is going to land on the newly revealed PS5 before hitting on other next-gen machines. GTA V is the house of Grand Theft Auto Online, a living world that has retained the name near the very top of yearly US video game sales charts for seven years running. Read More GTA 5 Can Be Headed To Ps5, Xbox Series X In 2021 Cars have comprehensive insides distinct from one another; shooting is similar to that of a committed FPS game. "Produced by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads into the city of Los Santos and its neighboring hills, beaches, and countryside at the greatest and most ambitious game Rockstar has created."
Tumblr media
Grand Theft Auto 5 (story)
Since Online's already large library of vehicles keeps growing with every DLC, the response for this has not been the same as in story mode for decades now. Whether you're contemplating controlling races or searching for the very best getaway car, there's always a perfect car for your job. Having said that, how much of a thumping a car can take is essential to understand, as it may mean the difference between life and death - in Online as far as story mode.

GTA V started in 2013 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and since That Time it has also come to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. GTA V is the house of Grand Theft Auto Online, a living world that has retained the name near the very top of yearly US video game sales charts for seven years running. In 2020, few video game lovers would praise a name that includes obvious transphobia and surface-level stereotypes about transgender men and women.

Hello! My name is Xani and I am 21 years old.
I am in search of a kawaii themed penpal!!!
I love making cute, small packages and writing letters to people.
About me:
I really love kawaii things as well as pastel pink!!
My favorite characters are Hatsune Miku, Totoro, Molang, as well as Pusheen.
I live in a small apartment with my dog and my boyfriend, we are looking to buy a kitten in the near future.
I am a college drop out, due to my mental health, I have a handful of mental illnesses that make my day to day life difficult, especially when it comes to going outside and being I'm public.
I am nonbinary, but I do use the pronouns she/they
I love playing videogames!!! But I only have a standard laptop that is a few years old, so it doesnt run most games. All I can play on it is Minecraft and Among Us. I do want to play Genshin Impact (my boyfriend plays it on his PS4), and I have played a few other games on the PS4 as well, such as Until Dawn. I am currently saving up for a gaming PC so I can play cute as well as horror games. I love horror even though I love cutesy romantic things as well. 
I am looking for a penpal who can put the same effort into packages and letters as I do, as I believe that is fair. I am US based, and due to COVID-19, I am only looking for a penpal that is in the US as well.
My tumblr is @bananapockycat

Intro Blog
So, I used to have a blog on here, using the alias, “DJSylvanas.” I deleted it, as I didn’t use it much. Now I have created gokaisylvanas (to pay tribute to being in House of Gokai clan on Destiny 2 on PS4), and have since added a last name to the alias “Sylvanas”, which is “Laiho”, to pay tribute to my favorite metal lead guitarist/lead vocalist, Alexi Laiho. Now while I am American born and bred, I appreciate all forms of music, from different nations. Now Alexi is from the country, Finland, which I wish I could live, as they have more bands I like than American, in terms of wanting to see live. Yes. I like a crap ton of American bands, but few do I wanna see in concert. And some of the Finnish bands NEVER tour in America.
I am also an avid gamer since 93 at the tender age of 3 with Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo on NES. My favorite games are action shooters and some story rich games here and there. Where as a kid, I liked fighting and racing games a lot. I am your typical scrub, as I’ve gotten older and went back to childhood games, I have found I SUCK at them, as an adult, which could be due to the fact I got used to difficulty choosing and doing the easiest on the games I like, due to wanting to enjoy the story, rather than rage quit. However, I am not too scrubby at GTA 4 on Xbox 360 for story (no difficulty choosing), and I am rusty but not scrubby at old school PS2 era Tony Hawk games, especially American Wasteland and Underground, as those 2 I have played THE MOST and still have to this day. Proving Ground I am a scrub on, as I haven’t put near as many hours into. Was a Tony Hawk addict as a teen, so that’s why those other 2 have a crap ton of practice put into them to develop the skill I have with them, as I didn’t get Proving Ground until Ride and Shred were out. And those 2 are the only TH games I have not played. We won’t even go into Pro Skater 5, as it is an ABOMINATION to the series and wasn’t even developed by Neversoft, as they folded the table after Proving Ground was done.
Okay, enough nerding out over Tony Hawk games, the games you will find me playing in recent days are Destiny 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Minecraft.
Enjoy the ride here on my blog. I repost stuff I am entertained by or I will post my own blogs. Just one rule of thumb, if you follow me, you’re NOT allowed to complain. I am not about drama and will NOT tolerate it.
Keep it gaming. Keep it metal. Keep it awesome.
~Sylvanas Laiho~

My Hopes for Harvest Moon: Light of Hope
Tumblr media
A few weeks back, Natsume dropped a bomb on the farming sim community with the announcement of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope for the PS4(!), PC(!!) and the Nintendo Switch(!!!); Thankfully no fields or animals were harmed in the blast
Fans have long since clamored for a Harvest Moon title on PC, and while there was the possibility of the Mobile game ‘Seeds of Memories’ hitting Wii U and Steam, it never came to fruition, leaving a bunch of fans scratching their heads over what could have been. 
Now with the promise of a new title hitting all the right platforms, Natsume has the power to really blow people away. No longer will the weak 3DS hardware restrict their visions, allowing them to fully deliver on the terraforming approach that they have taken with the series since they took full control over the title series’ development, but my question is, will they?
When XSEED was granted rights to the Bokujou Monogatari series in 2014, many, many, MANY fans were left scratching their head (some still do so today!) over what would become of the Harvest Moon title, as the games in the series that were previously localized as Harvest Moon were now going to be known as Story of Seasons in the US. Adding to the confusion, a store page popped up for a title called Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. I remember thinking to myself, “What is going on here?” because we had the game from Japan coming to us in the form of Story of Seasons, yet here we are with something else entirely.
Tumblr media
Enter The Lost Valley; Natsume’s very own in-house developed game. Making use of the Harvest Moon title that they own and have every right to use, despite what the fandom might say or think. 
I will not NOT be focusing on the travesty that the fandom has become as a result of the split. There is far too much negativity and hatred now in a fandom about cute animals, growing vegetables and forming unending friendships with villagers and it’s quite sad thinking about it as I had always held the Harvest Moon fandom in high regard as being super friendly, but alas it is what it is now.
The Lost Valley is Natsume’s very own game and it is a different beast from the more heavily geared dating sim that its Japanese counterpart has become in recent years. Natsume’s Harvest Moon puts the focus back on the farming and customization aspects and then doubles down on all of it by allowing you to shape the land in a way that is not unlike Minecraft. It is very limited in scope in what you can do, but the creative have found ways to make their valley look pretty. 
The terraforming feature isn’t just for looks, oh no. It also plays a big part in the new crop mutation system that is a very, VERY welcome addition to the genre. By planting your crops at different heights and depths, it might encourage them to mutate into something else entirely. After selling a specific number of a mutation to Sam, he will begin selling seeds of that crop that you can plant and then mutate further. Some mutations require it to be a certain season, or for the tile that the crop is planted in to be dry or swampy. It’s a really, really cool system that. You also have to factor in fertilizer as well, making for one complex and rewarding farming system that the competitors have still yet to even attempt to touch.
Then last year, Skytree Village came along and added a ton of quality of life features that fixed a majority of the issues that I had with The Lost Valley. I ended up putting more time into Skytree than I did the latest Story of Seasons game.
Tumblr media
But alas, as much as I enjoyed Skytree Village, there were still some issues with it that was holding it back from being truly great, so today as the point of this article, I am going to list a few things I’d like to see changed and added to Light of Hope.
1: FORAGING ~ There are some things that a farming sim just shouldn’t be without, and one of them is foraging. The valley in both games were huge, but there was nothing to them besides the mines and some rivers/ponds to fish in. 
2: WORLD ~ I love the terraforming aspect, but it needs stronger hardware in order to be fully utilized. Thankfully, the platforms in which Light of Hope is coming to are more than capable. 
The game world needs to be split up even further. We had the village back in Skytree Village which was a nice start, but LoH needs to even further beyond. Give players their farmland to customize, but take out the mines and the rivers and whatnot and place all that in a separate mountain area that is void of any terraforming aspects. 
I’d also like to see the beach make a return. And also, no more separate area for your farmhouse. Place it on a patch of land right near the entrance on your farmland that can’t be terraformed. Just please, no more separate screen for your house. 
3: CHARACTERS ~ I’ve no qualms with the characters. Keeping it to the three marriage candidates is a good idea as it allows the writers to better flesh them out when there are only a few to mess with. Jeanne was and has been one of my all-time favorite bachelorettes ever and I hope I get a chance again down the road to woo her.
PS. Please add Jeanne back as DLC. Will pay real life money for it.
Also, please promote Sam to a Van-like role and give us real shops. I’m tried of him wandering around my property every morning. 
4: FESTIVALS ~ The festivals need to be actual festivals and not the competitions that we’ve been getting. Bring back the village square and have decorations strewn all about, keep shops closed, etc. There has been a real huge disconnect on this aspect and a little tightening up could go a long way.
5: COOKING ~ Please, for the love of the Harvest Goddess, give us a deep and complex cooking system! Make it utensil based like in Back to Nature, it was absolutely perfect in that game. I would buy DLC recipe packs in a heart beat if this happened. Don’t just give us all of the recipes right from the start either; Make them rewards from befriending villagers, earned from festivals, etc. Make it so some can’t just be thrown together beforehand but have to be earned before they can be prepared. Some. Not all; I want to be able to make ketchup and have it added to my recipe book by the second week of summer.
6: ENCYCLOPEDIA ~ Like in Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade, give the players books that they have to fill in via shipping items/catching fish/mining/etc. This would also make for a great way to deliver hints towards rare crop mutations. Say for example you haven’t shipped a White Berry yet. Flip to the Strawberry page where it lists all of the berries, but none of the icons are filled in. Hovering over the space where the White Berry would be would have a small flavor text(like say, the book is old and the text is faded) 
“P...nt... only so... igh... Got..a.. be... c..ld“
Only after the crop was grown and shipped would the full information filled in.
“Plant only so high. Gotta be cold out, too.”
This would be a great way to track how many of an individual mutation has been shipped as well. 
7: CRAFTING ~ Easily my least favorite aspect of the current Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games, but only because the method of obtaining said materials take a long time and are often times hard to even find. Either let us outright buy the item for insane prices if we don’t have all the mats(adjusting it based on how many we actually do have would help a bit, too) or just lessen the requirements. 
With the terraforming in the HM games, I want to be able to make my farm look appealing, but it often times requires way too much to just make fences to keep my animals close by. At the very least let me use the wood I gather from the forest.
8: MENU ~ The menus in Skytree were a step up from what they were in Lost Valley, but even they could use some streamlining. A ring menu or even a small pop-up menu displaying the tools such as the ARCHITECT and Binoculars for quicker access would be a Goddess-send, especially the binoculars since I love taking screenshots and being able to flip around to a first-person view easily would be grand.
or you know, just set it to clicking in the right or left analog stick would be grand, too. 
I love the direction in which Natsume has taken the Harvest Moon name. The heavy emphasis on the farming and animal aspects are great, but still need a bit more work before they are perfect. As I mentioned earlier, I only played the newest Story of Seasons for a short while before giving up on it. It just lacked the charm that even the last game had. There is too much emphasis on relationship building now that the Story of Seasons series has lost its identity, but I have hope that with the recent success of Stardew Valley that Marvelous looks at that game and takes some cues from it... in a pupil becomes the master sort of way.

Survival and Crafting with Horizon Zero Dawn
In the last several years, there’s been a huge rush in open world, survival/crafting games, many of which are multiplayer. You know the ones: DayZ, Rust, Ark Survival Evolved, 7 Days to Die, indie legend Unturned, Conan Exiles (although Conan has the distinction of being a genital physics simulator). Even the $40 dollar PR disaster No Man’s Sky fits the bill in a lot of ways. I tend to not enjoy these games, if I’m being totally honest. The problem (and it is a problem with me and not the genre) is that after a few days, they start to feel like work.
Minecraft avoids this for me by being charming and colorful and /easy/. I can play Minecraft on creative for a few weeks, build my dream home, and then not play it for three months. Ark, for example, required much more of me- I only ever got as far as building a lean-to before I bit off way more than I could chew on started over. Ark’s system of binding recipes to character post death made it more rewarding than other games of it’s type, but after a death or two I found I just wasn’t having fun.
I was worried, then, about Horizon Zero Dawn. i knew it had open world and crafting elements, and I’d been burned on these games before. I also knew it had giant robot dinosaurs to hunt and climb, so I was hoping for more of a Shadow of the Colossus type game. That is not what I got, and I am so glad.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a beautiful game. It’s sprawling meadows and craggly peaks are gorgeous even without the PS4 Pro, and the human models look incredible. I often found myself struck by the actual, genuine beauty of protagonist Aloy and her father figure Rost. They’re animations are natural and smooth, and they look like real people. The voice acting is incredible as well, and these make dialogue seem natural and realistic. With exceptions where a few places the faces and the dialogue didn’t match up perfectly, the dialogue flows excellently.
I want to avoid spoilers, so I will summarize the story as such: centuries (millenia?) after civilization has fallen, mankind lives on in large specialized tribes. Players take on the role of Aloy, once outcast, as she struggles to unravel the conspiracy of her birth and who created the massive and terrible machines which coat the land.
I want to sidetrack for a second to talk about 2016′s Inside. Inside is an example of a game I honestly consider to be perfect- if I ever write up a full review for it, it will definitely have a 10. The veritable Nick Robinson talked about Inside in his video of top 5 games of 2016, and he mentioned that Inside is so good and well designed that it seems like it couldn’t have been made- Inside had to have been birthed into the world fully formed. Of course, this isn’t true- Inside had an intense and incredible dev team (who went so far as to play the game’s audio inside a human skull to get the effects right).
Horizon Zero Dawn feels the opposite, to me. Where Inside is so cohesive an experience it feels more like a life event than a game, Horizon Zero Dawn is meticulously crafted. Every part of it’s design- from the soundtrack to the stealth systems to the menu overlays to the crafting recipes - feels lovingly handcrafted and designed. It’s hard to imagine anything but an extensive and strenuous design process, and it pays off- Horizon Zero Dawn is near perfect.
Most open world RPG’s have similar mechanics- every one who played Skyrim can remember getting a side quest to check out some ruins or another and discovering they’d already done it. Most of these situations are awkward at best and clunky at worst. In the beginning of Horizon Zero Dawn, Rost gave me a mission to go check on Odd Grata, an elderly outcast who needed my help. I forgot to do it until well into the game’s story mode. Imagine my surprise that not only had Guerilla Games anticipated this, they had written special, heart-breaking dialogue for if you waited to do the quest! This is one of many moments in HZD wherein the love GG had for their game shines through. In my twenty plus hours of gameplay, I have yet to see anything I could describe as an oversight.
The combat system is robust and satisfying. The focus on stealth is heavy- you’ll find none of Dishonored’s run-and-gun option here. During my time so far, I attempted a few bandit camps with all-out fire and was very quickly decimated. This is just as well, as stealth feels good- getting Silent Strikes on snipers and tossing rocks to bring enemies within Aloy’s grasp is inherently pleasant.
The main appeal of HZD is obviously it’s machines, and there are plenty of them. From the velociraptor-like Watcher to the giant cargo crab the Shell-Walker, the amount of work and care put into the models for HZD’s wildlife is asatounding. Each machine has different components, and each components have different weaknesses, and figuring out how to tackle each machine to get the most benefit is a puzzle well worth your time. I cannot remember the last time I felt as invigorated during a video game as I did fighting HZD’s first Sawtooth- even knowing this was intended to be a tutorial fight.
The story for Horizon Zero Dawn is as enthralling as it is unique. Each character feels whole and unique in a genre where so many characters end up feeling like cardboard cut-outs with voice boxes.
I have a single complaint with Horizon Zero Dawn. I occasionally found myself frustrated with long stealth missions- bandit camps in particular- because of the game’s lack of a meaningful checkpoint system. Dying during a stealth mission is commonplace, but the bandit camps are sprawling and deadly environments. More than once I killed twenty bandits before I was discovered by one of the remaining five, died, and had to start all over. A quick save option would be perfect for moments like this. If this seems like a nitpicky, nothing complaint, it is! Horizon Zero Dawn is such a wonderful and excellent game that it’s singular flaws stand out.
Final score: 9.75/10. I hope and pray that it’s proximity to the Switch launch doesn’t overshadow Horizon Zero Dawn. Guerilla Games have sloughed off the Killzone name and created a masterpiece which deserves your time and attention.
