Hollow Knight.

I played for probably a dozen hours or so, beat a few bosses and then just hit a boss I couldn’t beat. (Don’t recall which.) I would get to the boss and die almost immediately. Then I’d be sent back to a far away checkpoint. I’d slog back to the boss, and die. Repeat again.

I’ve played plenty of games like this. I get at some level that’s the point. The problem is that I wasn’t enjoying the game. I wasn’t making progress. Just repeating the same over and over again.

I’ve played and loved similar games. Super Meat Boy & Celeste? Excellent. Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps? Top games.

By all accounts I feel like I should like Hollow Knight… but I just don’t feel they got it right.

Lol I’m the opposite. I won’t allow KOTOR slander. Don’t give a fuck about Mass Effect, you can trash it.

KOTOR had a great story and I was finally in the Star Wars universe, just flying around and exploring the universe.

I do admit the early part of the game is a bit slow, but once I was jumping from planet to planet it was awesome.

(Come to think of it I found Mass Effect equally boring when I started it. If it had been Star Wars I probably would have stuck with it, but since it wasn’t I just found it boring.)

I doooooooo…

(Correct!)

will also see the return of several other series alums, including Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, and Elden Henson’s Franklin “Foggy” Nelson.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

Also Doom Patrol. Weirdest show I’ve ever seen. Ridiculous. Great.

And it was his first day.

But if you try to make sense of things Grimey says it well when he points out that he went to outer space.

The first season is something especially weird. Bart goes to France to make bootleg wine & learn French. Meanwhile an Albanian (?) student spys on America.

Closest we probably get later on is the grammer rodeo.

Also, Correct!

Me: So my hands are bound?

DM: Yes.

Me: And I’m under the influence of a “Command”-like spell?

DM: Yes.

Me: And the command is to follow them to the prison?

DM: Yes.

Me: I’d like to try and fall on my face, beard first.

I didn’t realize it would be that short. Looking online it appears to be estimating 15 to 25. It would probably be smart to just go for a whole hour, but I admit that isn’t likely.

I agree flood the zone is the approach needed, but this is a fine first step.

Toot toot. Correct!

Ogdenville cheaters.

I was saying Boo Milhouse. Correct!

Biden has an easy, but hopefully not too softball, interview scheduled for Friday (July 5th), with a transcript available that night and the full interview airing on Sunday.

The interview is with George Stephanopoulos who worked in the Clinton Whitehouse, so he will be favorable to Biden. However Biden needs to prove that the poor debate performance was a fluke, so it can’t just be softball questions.

Also the transcript being available earlier means everyone is going to be clear on the message (which is good in general) but also means the focus is going to be on performance.

If Democrats/Biden spend the next week embarrassed by that interview then Biden is probably done. The RNC holds their convention the following week, they’ll beat on Biden and you can either let them (wasting time/energy) or you can announce just as it gets started and suck the air out of their convention.

However I fully expect this interview to go well. This is a smart idea by Biden (the timing sucks, but he doesn’t have much of a choice). He needs to prove that debate was a fluke. This is exactly what you want to see from Biden. But it he fucks up again, it’s going to hurt.

Everyone knows Trump is a steaming pile of shit. People voting for him don’t care. Democrats will come out and support Biden, but you need the undecided voters (whomever they are) to go with them.

So to answer your question, I fully expect Biden to go all the way to the election. I’m not sure that’s what I want or that it’s the best idea, but Biden is taking the right steps to turn things around. This next week is an important one.

Boys love candy!

My theory is, Skinner likes dog food.

Mr Burns, we can trust the President of Cuba.

No sir. I’m sorry sir. You’re correct sir.

Sounds like it’s just the end of the “Captain Carter” series.

I assume it will return again in a few years. Jeffrey Wright is really the only common character we need to keep and he can come back later.

Also we still have Zombies, so that will be interesting.
