  • is there some mechanical reason to gate the second fight like that? if it’s just wasting your time then fuck 'em, but it’s not always so simple.

    Spoiler free explanation:

    The thing to trigger the secret boss happens partway through the final boss fight and there’s another ending that happens if you meet the conditions to get it but keep fighting as normal.

    Imho they should’ve made it checkpoint at the moment that thing triggers instead of making you refight the boss everytime you die. As it is it’s a frustrating fight.


  • beat everything legit up to the blade dancer boss,

    Aww, that’s one of my favourites.

    That said first time I beat her was with a pure sorcery build where I realised you could cheese her really easily by just standing behind a pillar, dropping a pestilent mist and just watching her spin pointlessly in the death cloud. Same for the Dragonslayer Armour at the end of Lothric Castle and the well it spawns in front of.




  • Midnight Fight Express.

    It’s one of those games where you jump between punching different people in a room and then either block or dodge when they take their turn to attack. Not particularly groundbreaking, but it’s a good execution of the whole thing.

    Most of the environmental kills are kinda meh and the zones they trigger from feel a bit arbitrary, so being able to grind an opponent’s face against a passing train during one level came as a huge suprise.

    Overall I liked it but it was kinda short.







  • I don’t feel bad for the soviet solders any more than I feel bad for the russian soldiers in ukraine right now. they choose to be there by not surrendering or turning on their officers. if they get wiped out to the last man, that’s on them. they deserve what they’re getting for invading another country, the same way the US deserved what it got in iraq and afganistan.

    “If the Red Army wanted my sympathy, they simply should’ve laid down their weapons and let the Nazis expand and genocide to their hearts content. I AM A PRINCIPLED ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN!”

    Deeply unserious person.





  • Sleeping Dogs has been in my backlog for a while and I watched Hard Boiled last week, so I decided I’d finally get 'round to it.

    It’s not anywhere near an original end to this kinda thing, but the fact that Wei goes on to become a beat cop after feeding Big Smile Lee through the ice chipper was a good touch. Like, they took a look at this recent mass shooter (who has been murdering suspects constantly since day 1 of being assigned to this case) and thought, “yes, this is the man we need out there working for us.”

    The DLC making it so that his punishment for going rogue and killing all those people is working as a traffic cop. chefs-kiss

    There’s, like, a five minute pause between Wei ticketing an illegally parked car, beating to death/arresting its driver, finding the car has a bomb in it, and killing a completely unrelated person with a payphone on the walk back to his squad car.

    Honestly, he shoulda gone back to America, they’d’ve promoted him.
