Jimmy's dad's writing was so good. It really made me realise why Jimmy is just the total opposite of him in the show, and why he sees Paul as a father figure.His dad's a selfish man, and a good one at that. Charming, has other people like him, but only his actual family know how he is.

He seems to want to be there for Alice not because he wants to spend time with his granddaughter, but to make him feel good about himself and to get a story basically to tell to people. I felt like one of the main reasons Jimmy was angry at him, is the fact that when he was at his lowest, his dad still didn't care to meet him or you know, chip in to take care of Alice.

I think that's why he dislikes him so much. He knows that his dad's only there for the best version, and will leave and ignore as soon as they will need help.

I still don't understand. I thought this was optional. And it's not like we got options, we only got NSS. We have exams of it, without any books or anything.

I study in NL Dalmia Mira Road btw.

Sean's plotline is not going that great.

When Marisol got introduced, I thought oh, she ended it abruptly, maybe something happened. Then I find out she cheated on him. Hey, it's his ex, so I felt good for him. He had to confront her and take accountability. Their first interaction left me thinking that she's a red flag through and through.

What I did NOT understand was Gaby disregarding everything and saying that Sean actually wanted that even though throughout their session we see that Sean is uncomfortable when Gaby says that. She ignores the fact that Sean wants accountability, and keeps talking about "smooches", which in itself is weird, but eh, sometimes Gaby can miss the ball.

Then his ex says that he's "living in the past" and refuses to take accountability for her cheating, so that was not good.

And now on Episode 4, when Sean is actually talking to Paul, I did NOT expect Paul to be that dismissive about this situation. He actually told Paul about the fact that what if Marisol doesn't accept the new him? And Paul says he created a future imaginary problem. Like zamn, they're doing Sean dirty by basically ignoring his concerns and valid questions.

Are the writers just doing it because for some reason they wanna try and show Marisol as good, even when she's proven otherwise in the first interaction itself and with how Sean talks about her to Gaby and Paul?

Making this post again because I re-watched Season 2 Episode 8 right now again, and I saw that Derek didn't blame himself nor was anyone placing the blame on him, it was just a log of causes why it happened.

I still think this plotline got resolved too quickly. I dunno man, it wasn't the fact that she kissed him. It was the fact that despite him saying that he doesn't like the guy, despite him clearly being annoyed by him, despite Paul and Ray telling Liz that he'll make that move, she still did it. She still went and met him. I mean, if there's nothing to worry about, why not tell Derek?

That kiss was just to seal the deal. She regretted it, yeah, everyone who cheats fucking does. That's called guilt. She tells him, and for some reason acts like she did a good thing by telling it to him? Like you had the conscious choice of not doing that. You could've stopped seeing that guy any moment. Yet you chose to.

And then even if Derek doesn't blame himself, I still don't know. Why did she choose Mac out of all people? The one person your husband doesn't like.

It just was resolved too quickly imo. But other than that, the episode was a banger.

Basically the title. I was replaying Spider-Man 2 recently, and I felt like there were a lot less... Community missions? Like in the first game and especially in Miles Morales, it didn't feel like Spider-Man was the only one working to change the city. Missions like that bird watcher, that wife who suspected her husband of doing something bad, and then in Miles Morales, we had that cat finding mission and the one where he helps FEAST. And then you had missions here and there in which you just helped the citizens and the community.

Spider-Man 2 does have its moments, but I felt like it was more of a grand spectacle than something created with love. The first game and Miles Morales's worlds felt like yk, Spider-Man has been there forever, but in the second one, it didn't really feel like that much. I mean, they couldn't add one mission in which Spider-Man checks up on FEAST in the second game? Really?

But eh, that's just my perspective.

I guess that's what was missing from FFXVI. A journey. In that game, it was a constant war. No bs, all seriousness, and the moments of peace were really placed not so well. Like I need to go and save the kingdom. Why tf am I fetching wood as a main questline😭 and another thing is, I felt like the characters in it mostly other than Clive were underdeveloped.

I'm 20 hours into this game... And man, I absolutely love the cast. One of my favourite games, P3R, imo had the best characters individually atleast, and in this game, I like that the cast is realistic like that. They all have their individual arcs, and the game isn't centred around just Tidus and his relationships with them. They all are essentially the "main characters" of their own story in this game. The environment is so good too. My only gripe is the fact that I saw the PS2 model for Tidus and this model looks like it's trying to looksmaxx half the time😭 and the fixed camera angle. The environment is so beautiful, but it would be so much better if I wasn't stopped by the damn fixed camera all the time.

The combat system took some getting used to (playing a turn based game after a long time) but it's great when you get Scan and can find out how much hp an enemy has. But the main thing is the story and the locations. And the music.

I absolutely LOVE Besaid man. Such a beautiful location. My favourite by far still.

Now let's see how much more this game can offer.

Felt like I was exploring a fantasy world again. Took me back to when I was a kid playing Fable on my cousin's xbox for the first time. The wonder for the environment this ost created made Rising Tides DLC that much more worth it.

I bought the DLCs last night and have been playing ever since. Now I'm on the Leviathan boss, and literally, I can't seem to beat him at all. Wtf is that shield time limit? How do you beat him?

My current rotation is Shiva, Bahamut and Odin. I'm thinking of buying the Rising Tides DLC because of story, but how good is Leviathan compared to other eikons?
