Just finished Death Stranding.

Wow, was not expecting that ending. What a game, probably my game of the year to be honest.

Again I don't see how people could say this story is bad. It was pure Kojima, knew not to take itself seriously even though it was serious, and just kept having moments that made you go oh poo poo thinking about the foreshadowing they placed in. So good!

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
Kojims is really good at endings. Literally the only bad ending is MGSV because he did not have enough time to finish the game.

Yes I'm aware DS has like 4-5 ending fakeouts.

I'm probably more a fan of OG Giant Bomb, but that's still sad to see her go.

You already reheated, but I’d suggest oven with foil over the top so the sauce doesn’t burn.

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from
I beat Super Mario 64 today!

While I appreciate the game, and it was fun a good majority of the time, I think a few aspects of it did not age well. Towards the end of the game I spent more time battling the camera than doing actual platforming.

I still have 20 or so stars to collect, but I'll probably get them when I return to the game in a month or two.

Hey let’s say you’re playing an MMORPG and you’re forming a group to go through a dungeon. You just need one more person...

You advertise in the general chat channel, and after a few minutes, you eventually get two simultaneous responses: one from a player named DarkSephiroth, and other from a player named Delt4Zer0.

Who do you invite?

Not really, he had the same not-enough time that every AAA game doesn't have. Artists visions are big, but capitalist greed is bigger so the latter always gets the first, middle, and final say in the matter.

DarkSephiroth

1.) They know how to punctuate their name correctly, implying they'll at least be able to form a sentence
2.) Sephiroth is from a game over 20 years old. Whoever chose this 'ironic' name has probably gone by the handle for decades, and is probably at the point where they're too old to be and arsehole and played the game long enough to know mechanics inside and out.
3.) lol jk we checked their Raider.io Mythic+ score online and chose whoever had the highest number.

DarkSephiroth, easily. One, his name makes sense and tells us everything we need to know. He fancies Sephiroth, but not the potentially redeemable Sephiroth, no this dude is going all-in on the darkness (evil people are better at videogames, it's a frighteningly direct correlation. for example, fred rodgers was the worst player in history at videogames, objectively). It also shows a certain gaming pedigree, I can assume this person is a fan of FF7 and had the patience to wade through its game systems and he sounds like someone who even went through the trouble of fighting all the secret Weapons and got Knights of the Round ASAP Disc 2. This is someone who lacks a little creativity and taste, two characteristics that are completely unsupported and useless in an MMO setting anyway. You can call him Dark, Darks, Darseph, Seph, Sephy, DS, or just D'roth. Easy to say and call out.

Delt4Zer0 on the other hand, what a loving mess. "Delt-four-Zerr-Oh" or "Delt-four-Zerr-Zero" or "Delt-four-Zerr-null" are all awful mouth-full names. Pretending it's leet and then translating the l337 is even worse, it gets you "DeltaZero." Either this person is an extreme niche Star Wars reference maker, which means they still like star wars enough in tyool 2020 to make a deep-cut reference to it. Any way you slice it, still being a self-described Star Wars fan is a little sad and pathetic. This is the name of someone who owns a Star wars related Funko Pop. Alternatively, this is just a username so unoriginal someone else had already taken it, and had to sub in arbitrary number substitution. The person probably chose it because it sounds vaguely militaristic, which means this person thinks military poo poo is cool, thinks "tactical" is a badass thing, and most often prefers videogames with thinly veiled excuses to simulate gun violence on increasingly realistic victims (FPS). This kid might have some good twitch reflexes when it comes to murder-sims in a point-n-click format but this is an MMO with no use for those skills, it just means this guy is going to be looking exclusively at some kills or damage metric he tracks that doesn't actually reflect how productive or useful he is being within a group.
