We have a name in mind (from a video game character, natch) but nothing's set in stone yet. I'll take suggestions for names for a baby boy. We've got about 6 weeks to mull them over.

I am enjoying the end game of P5 way more than I was expecting. In P3 and 4 the end game always felt like the weakest part of the story (especially in 4) but here everything is coming together.

It's also funny that I completely missed the big hint on the first twist but guessed it anyways because it's obvious and meanwhile I saw a major hint early on for the second main reveal and was completely clueless

which reveals because i can think of like four

That Igor isn't really Igor and has been using you this whole time. at the beginning of the game my first reaction to his voice was "man, that sounds way more menacing than it usually does" but of course I also thought nothing of it. Then it's revealed he's actually an evil god and when the real one comes back he has the normal voice

that one rules. when it happened i wooted softly in my mouth

Does anyone remember a ps1 rpg that was a crummy jrpg knockoff? I unfortunately can't be anymore specific than that. I just remember that it was a ps1 rpg, I don't believe it was a jrpg, but people tried comparing it to FF7 a bunch and it had really ugly art and I wanna say it might've had a robot in it or something, idk, and it was bad.

you're thinking of Chrono Cross op

The portal 2 ARG was pretty cool when it was just a neat way to share concept art. I found it pretty novel from before E3 all the way up until the potato part, at which point it became "spend lots of money on these random games we picked and Portal 2 MIGHT come out up to SIX HOURS EARLIER"

edit: Actually it was 9 hours early but whoop de doo

if you did all the potato things they gave you literally every valve game including portal 2

them: ah. botw. the purest form of discovery. curiosity runs wild across the plains of hyrule. exploration, for exploration's sake...

me [insanely calm, and cute] the weapon durability system sucks

them [extremely shook]: if you had one weapon the whole time you wouldn't use any others. you need to be forced to try new things it's good. you would just grab an endgame weapon and not explore

*gets shook, sputters in incoherent rage*

(okay fine I'll take the bait) It's not because of exploration: it's because you could grab an endgame weapon super early and then steamroll everything and no other item you find would be valuable at all, which would suck some of the fun out of exploration. Part of the joy is how you're always finding things to play with, and they always have value because you always need resources. Without that, the game would still be fun and the exploration would still be fun, but it'd be missing some of the extra spice, that's all.

Weapon durability means the game can let you get super awesome endgame weapons right away, confident that eventually you'll be hungry for more because they can break. Maybe making them so easily accessible was a mistake, since I know some people have said they just kept doing Hyrule Castle runs for more every time they broke and totally defeated the purpose of it, but I don't think the answer is that the durability system shouldn't have been there.

actually it sucks. the zelda weapon durability sucks
