    Gopher talks about why the Fallout: London team had decided to have GoG host the mod, instead of Nexus Mods, which boils down to, the mod being way to big for the site to host and downloading speeds for everyone, especially the free users for Nexus.

    It is interesting to see GoG being a host for this mod, but not really unexpected because they have the Daggerfall Unity mod on there and other overhaul mods for other Bethesda games out there.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2. I am only in the fourth chapter so far. I love the first game, Yakuza Kiwami, from the seriousness that the main story, which is more of a crime drama, to the very silly side stories that is carried on in this installment. And to the over there top finishing moves that Kiryu does to the poor fools that picks fights, which seems to be expanded upon from the first game. So I am enjoying it so far.

    I am also playing Genshin Impact, which I have been playing for the past 2-3years now. I am enjoying the new event and the newest character that was released after the update.

    I mean, Colorado is probably the best case of how to deal with legalization of marijuana, which is what you want, they treat it like alcohol. Which makes more sense than letting people smoke it in public spaces.

    And I think New York (home state) is in a similar boat to Colorado, but I can't find anything for this because New York is really lazy when it comes to breaking down their laws, which makes that Colorado site, that I linked above, all the better.

    I really liked the choice that Piranesi had made at the end. I really like that that he had realized that he was going to be alone in the House, even with 16 visiting, had made him feel like that he needed to go to his original world. And the fact that 16 had taught him how to go back, gave him a way to get back to the House if he wanted. And the fact that he went to Ritter, and offered to bring him to the House, whenever was really sweet.

    It was difficult to get into, but as you got used to the writing style that Clarke had used, it was a quicker read than I was expecting.

    As for the random capitalization's of letters, I think it was Piranesi genuinely giving things names, such as the rooms and what is going in said rooms. Which really highlights that he really cared about that world and genuinely believed that he was originally from that world.

    I think that Piranesi and 16 are the only redeeming characters in the book, while the Prophet and the Other are genuinely evil, in similar ways.

    The Prophet had found out about Piranesi and did not help him out right, just pointed 16 in the right direction on how to find Piranesi. And while the Other knew about the memory lost, same with the Prophet (but at least he told Piranesi about the long term effects that the Labyrinth has on people, which gave Piranesi the require hints about the Other), but really just not care about Piranesi at all, just viewed him as a slave that was to be used.

    Sorry for being late, I kind of forgot to read the book, mostly it is has been chaotic lately, but got it done today.

    I really liked this book, from the characters, Piranesi is a great unreliable narrator considering what had happened to him. What I mean is that the fact that we were reading his journals from his time in the Other World and his thoughts of what had transpired and his slow realization that the Other was not his friend and that he had lost his memory because of his time spent in the Other World. And the fact that 16 was in fact trying to help him get out of that situation.

    And I agree with you that all of the classes have their strengths and weaknesses. And that is part of the reason that Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time is because you can experiment with different classes.

    Yeah, the more that you learn about what was cut, because of the budget makes you wonder. The budget cuts was well known on r/dragonsdogma.

    Bitterblack was a interesting take on the various monsters that you can encounter, plus some other monsters like the undead dragon that you cam run into after the first time you defeat the main boss and Death, which is why the Magik Archer is the (in my opinion) class because of the talent that allows you to use your pawns as literal ammo.

    Nevertheless the game here does a better job at concealing this with varied lighting, color tinting and added obstacles.

    I agree with in that the game designers do a better job at concealing the reuse of assets in Bitterblack, granted it is helpful that most of the levels are imperceptible darkness most of the time, with the light source being your lantern.

    I think I am in a need of replaying the game, because I did not beat it fully yet (as in 100% it).

    There is also the stigma of going to a therapist in Japan (and in other Asian Countries). A typical Japanese person is not going to go a therapist unless they were told to by an authority figure (even then), hence why the Hikikomori (which is another can of problems) is a prevalent problem.

    The only ones that I have not yet are Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Girl Who Leapt Through Time, the Secret World of Arrietty and Millennium Actress. So I really can't say if they are worth it, but for Nausicaä, it is one of two pre-Ghilbi Hayao Miyazaki films. And people do like it.

    But I have seen the others and yes they are worth it. Has I had said in my other post Porch Rosso and Princess Mononoke are two of my favorites. Castle in the Sky is another favorite, so yes it is worth it. And the others are worth seeing at least once. Just have tissues on hand for Wolf Children.
