That's really cool, for me basically just surviving life best I can, trying to get this video game made but its tough balancing with day job career. Moving sounds great, I'd like to move away but still figuring things out.

Yeah it definitely takes time to get through them. I started playing the series in 2020 and have played 0-6, plus Dead Souls and now LaD. It took a while because I took breaks in between each game to prevent burn out. When I'm finished this one I'll take another break and eventually move on to Judgment.

Well, hey, it's something! Also, it's not like you would actively use it, right?

Anyway, yeah, lets have that drink

I'm loving it as well, having so much fun with it! The Wind Temple was really great, I loved every moment of it in retrospect, so I hope you are having a great time with it too!

Despite the fact that I haven't finished it yet, I think it's safe to say that this is my favourite Yakuza game. I really like the new battle system and the story and new characters are great. It's been taking me a long time to beat the game because I keep getting distracted with the side content.

Salve! =) Come stai? =)

How are you liking Tears of the Kingdom so far?

It's an awesome series, really slow paced and takes a lot of planning to get through it but it's satisfying and the dungeon design is amazing. I really liked them. Wow I feel like we haven't talked in forever, how are things?

Yeah, same. I think now that the plot is rolling a bit more I feel less overwhelmed.

I haven't gotten very far yet... had a gig last night that took up most of the afternoon, and Avi is also playing a lot.

I still feel a bit directionless in the game, and while it is fun to explore, I prefer to have a gameplan in mind. I'm sure that'll fix itself as I continue.

I've been itching for another Zodiac Age playthrough.

Oh for sure. Even back in the original game, Joel's decision at the end of the game being so selfish was actually in my opinion a huge DRAW to its narrative. As a kid with a black and white moral compass at the time though, I was definitely screaming at my computer like, "BRO YOU JUST DOOMED HUMANITY", but through matured, adult eyes I can now see how like, *human* a decision it was.

If that same level of realistic human selfishness continues into the sequel, I think that's actually great. We NEED more selfish protagonists in gaming. Too many Heroes of Light.
