Baldurs Gate 3 is coming out a month earlier. Considering I wanted to play both this and Starfield, it's great for me. But I already know I'm going to be going back and forth between the two. Not to mention the other games I want to play coming in 2023/2024!

Greed is Good.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I loved the settlement building in Fallout 4. So yeah, I'm pretty jazzed that it's returned for Starfield.

Thank you Bethesda for retaining that and third person gameplay.

Also, I have 3 Xbox controllers, but I really want that leaked controller to be real. Those translucent triggers are so awesome, and it has such a clean overall look.

If Persona 3 Reload doesn't include the Female Protagonist, I'll be crushed. It just feels like Atlus keeps giving the middle finger to players who want to play as girls.

They have the money. They have the means. It's a conscious decision to exclude part of the fanbase

I don’t know if anyone will read this but…

I’ve always wanted a dog, like always. I’ve had ideas about my life with a new dog, studied, prepared and was genuinely excited.

All I had is my four year old cat, until today. Today we adopted a new dog and I was excited. I was excited during the process, excited in the car ride home and excited up until we came home. Then excitement turned to anxiety and I’ve been stomach sick sense. It’s like I’m waint for something bad to happen.

The dog is a sweet pea, he doesn’t bark, he doesn’t lunge at my cat and he prefers to just lay around being petted by my mother.

But for some reason in the space of a few hours, my stomach is in knots and I’m spending more time convincing myself I can do it than not. I am freaking out. Like I’m trying to keep up a brave countenance but I’m so anxious I feel like crying.

He’s afraid of outside and it’s hard to get him to leave the apartment. When we are outside, he tugs the leash so hard and pulls me along that I’m afraid of the leash snapping. I managed to get him to go the bathroom but then he wouldn’t urinate. We went upstairs and a dog barked in another apartment and he peed right in the hallway in what I think was fear.My entire confidence level has dropped to zero and it’s only day one.

I feel sick because I think I may have made a huge mistake. Like all I can think about is whether I can do this or should I take him back and I’m feeling like such a colossal failure. I feel even worse because my mother who was reluctant to ever get a dog, has fallen for him big time. He’s practically glued to her side.

At the moment we’ve decided to keep him for a week and see how things go. But I’m still freaking out. I’ve only ever had cats and I thought I could handle this but I’m really not so sure anymore.

The worst of it is I have no way of anticipating his behavior when my mother is at work. For the moment, he seems entirely dependent on her.

I need some guidance from dog owners, to help to raise his confidence and my own because I’m on the edge and it’s literally day one. I also can’t help but think, this isn’t normal, that there is seriously something wrong with me.

This post was recently liked so an update if anyone cares. What is it 3 or 4 years later? Anyway we love him. We kept him and he brings my mother so much frustration and joy. He gets along with my cat who's older than him and the anxiety does pass with time. 😀

I just saw the trailer for Harvestella by Square Enix and...

I just can't right now. I love, love Rune Factory. This looks like a current Rune Factory for this generation...just better.

This is just my opinion, but people who seem to dislike Byleth all share the same general conclusion.

Byleth is an all around flat character. Frankly speaking that is true. Firstly Three Houses story really isn't Byleth's story. Its the story of Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude plus their respective factions. Truthfully the story probably could have easily been written via work around without them.

Byleth also falls into the silent protagonist category. An imperfect self insert we can project whatever we want onto. That said, I've created an entire childhood back story for my Byleth. Things like how she was raised. Her travels with Jeralt and the mercenary company. Even how she got the name Ashen Demon.

The thing is in order to do all of those things, I took an intended use for the character and used them for that purpose.

Are imaginations and creativity not a thing anymore? Is it really detrimental to one's enjoyment to constantly be spoon fed? Do we as players need every ounce of personality to understand a character that is essentially one's self?

I'm still generally on the fence about Shez. But I do know one thing, if Shez has a personality and their on motivations it makes them a little less 'you'. In that case I don't want it marketed to me as a character I can identify with as a protagonist if our personalities are complete contrast to one another.

I don't want to hate a character I'm supposed to be because I can't sympathize or identify with them.

Holiday 2022 for me is going to be very busy. I've already got Pokémon Violet to look forward to and now Hogwarts Legacy. 2022, what else you got?
