Now that the 2nd game is officially confirmed and in development, I have some strong ideas on what they NEED to do, in order to improve upon the first

1 - Give more life to the random NPCs - no brainer and honestly not a game breaker, but it would be nice if NPCs you do missions for have a bit more personality.

2 - Here’s a big one. Gear. Gear space was locked behind Merlin’s Trials. The problem is; you open a chest and more often than not, you don’t have space for the first half of the game. So you dump gear because you don’t want to miss anything. You can SELL gear but you have to go to a vendor, which is no help if you’re in a dungeon or even in Hogwarts and don’t want to use floo. So you’re basically throwing money away, which is a problem because everything is expensive, and you’re broke for a major part of the game. Very, very frustrating. I don’t see the need in forcing us to unlock gear slots. It doesn’t mesh with the wizarding world.

3 - side missions - the main problem the gaming community has witb the game is how repetitive it get. Personally, I don’t mind. But I think they should incorporate a “Ghost Of Tsushima” approach where less is more and all the side missions actually MEAN something, even if it means we unlock less spells or unless spells at a slower pace. Because I can understand why players get frustrated at the constant “fetch this, fetch that”. This is Harry Potter. Creativity should be paramount.

4 - This is just a personal issue - the use of Floo Powder takes me out of it. Fast Travel is necessary and useful but being able to constantly teleport from Hogwarts to Hogsmead in 2 seconds flat as a 5th year just seems to break the lore. Especially doing it at night. The rules just NEVER applied to the protagonist and they should, at least to some extent. It would’ve been nice to see Professors walking around the halls. And if you’re caught out at night you get a Game over. Easy fix, turn invisible. After a few hours of walking around the halls it’s very repetitive. I never felt like a student. More like a guest who occasionally blessed the classrooms with his presence.

The combat was great, story is fine. Could use some more customization but that didn’t hurt the game imo.

I also understand why Quidditch wasn’t in the first game - adding a whole new set of mechanics and rules for the game would be a lot. But keeping it out of the second Game would be a bad look. It’s Quidditch.

I’m sure there are more but those are the things I could think of that would improve quality of life.

The Room Of Requirement was awesome. One of the high points of the game.

People laugh when I say this but I genuinely think Dumbledore defeats Gandalf the white.

Yes, Gandalf is a Maia and immortal and his spirit won’t die, but his body can. And Gandalf the white doesnt have access to his universal powers. Gandalf can kill Dumbledore but good luck landing on a man who can teleport around like Goku and create basically pocket dimensions like Dr Strange. He has far more combat spells, can fly, and deal damage from any range. Olórin NoDif’s dumbledore but human Gandalf? I don’t see it.

If anything I say stalemate.

So young Dumbledore basically pulled a Dr. Strange when he fought his nephew and Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts?

He cast a spell that basically went into a different dimension so he could fight without causing damage to No-Mags and property.

That’s insanely high level. And he did with without a word No wonder Moldy Voldy never wanted the 1v1

I’ve got close to 2k hours in red dead. I’ve long since stopped playing it. Today I randomly decided to load in. Went to valentine, killed a bounty, got killed in return.

Cool. Went to get a revenge kill and couldn’t find the dude on the map. He’s there but no red dot. 🔴

I immediately turned the game off. I mean… people still
Cheat in a dead game? Hardly anyone even plays this and people still feel the need to cheat? weak.

Just watched Midsommar for the first time and it’s INSTANTLY catapulted to my top 5 all time movies.

I don’t even think studios should try to do cult movies anymore. It can’t be topped.

It touched on Everything. Every single aspect of primal human horror, and took every cult cliche and fleshed them out into a cauldron of existential dread. Speaking of dread, Ari Aster is a master of it - that scene - the first scene, with the two … volunteers… on the cliff, I actually had to pause the movie because I knew something was coming. I had no idea what, but the sheer heaviness of the scene, in broad day, was terrifying. There are no “gotcha!” Jump scare moments. The movie’s not like that. It’s a slow buildup.

I loved how the movie begins at night - a total juxtapose of the idyllic never-ending-day in Sweden. There’s something about a place where night never falls that’s haunting. It kind of reminded me of that Nazi movie, “The Zone of Interest”. Just a tranquil environment that belays the banality of evil.

I won’t get too into the actual details of the movie for those who haven’t watched it, but go in BLIND. The less you know beforehand, the better.

I think the most terrifying aspect of it is how easily real something like that can be (and, in all likelihood, probably is). A group of American friends take a trip to Sweden.

Highly, highly, highly recommended it. I can’t recommend it enough. I wish I could erase it from my brain just to watch it again. 11/10

A young Marine, a boxer and an MMA fighter walk into a Texas bar.

The devil dog walks up to the bartender and says “Bartender. How goes it? I’ll have 3 shots of jack, 3 shots of henny, 3 shots of bourb, 3 shots of your best rum, and 3 Harps.” The bartender’s eyebrows raises and his eyes widen in shock, and he goes “Look here fellas, now I know y’all’s just grantin’ to have a good night, but I’m telling you now, I don’t want no trouble or rubberneckin’ in my bar once you crayons polish these dranks off.” The Marine looks bewildered at the bartender. Confused; genuinely confounded, and stares for a second before it clicks “Oh, these guys? No worries Bartender, they don’t drink.”

That’s just the punchline. The real joke is believing a Marine could afford 12 shots, or count up to three.

It takes a lot of training to be a Xord Pilot

Even more so to be a Mech Pilot. Only the best and brightest with impeccable records are chosen out of an elite few from Japan’s Delta Forces. Then they’re trained and if they’re compatible, they get DNA synchronized with whichever machine they trained for.

1 - Tatsu-Kōgeki Siege Destroyer - Japan’s 3 form xord with an impenetrable crest.

2 - Tyragontus Blue - Japan’s lead unit, a 184 meter long blue dragon Mech with the ability to create storms.

3 - Amatu Ikazuki - Japan’s insane bipedal Xord. 68 meters tall, nuclear resistant and moves like a samurai. The head-crest from Tatsu can detach and combine with Amatsu’s head to form Reddosaikuron mode (the form shown in the video. The Original form Isnt shown, and the crest Isn’t on Tatsu).

In Reddosaikuron, Amatsu Ikazuki is completely surrounded by a Category 4 Red, uranium lightning tornado and moves and fights while in the 🌪️, controlling it from inside using mini-weather drones.

And finally, all three units can combine into one “HyperMech” - the Arashi No Kage Gundax 1

Automata is a masterpiece.

But if you’re looking for something to tide you over until the sequel, Stellar Blade isnt just goon bait like everyone says. The combat is pretty deep, actually much deeper than Nier’s. It’s an extremely fun game. You can see how much is bitten straight off of the Automata pie, but it works. The story’s not as compelling but it’s also not NOT compelling. And again, the combat is just incredible. And on Hard mode It’s as tough if not tougher than Souls games like Sekiro.

You know what would’ve been cool?

If his pink form was a permanent power-up.

There could’ve been a scene where you see Godzilla rip out Tiamat’s heart or its “core” and ate it, and THEN gestated in the Cocoon. Then the “core” integrates permanently into Godzilla’s heart or organ… something.

So whenever he’s overwhelmed or needs a massive power-up, he can tap into the core and go Rose.. I mean… evolved mode. He just quickly grows and changes colors. I mean it’s not that far fetched we’ve got a giant gorilla practically doing somersaults off of his back now. It’s already basically the MCU. To me, that would’ve been sick. Maybe you only see it once every few movies, to keep it rare.

I’ve just watched the first four movies. Having never read the books.

I was very confused as to why Gale got the scapegoat Arc. I thought it was weak, making him the “bad guy” to make the Peeta choice easier. But then, then, I looked up his character in the book, and it’s clear his character evolved into the kind who would make double bombing weapons.

So the problem is Liam Hemsworth. No problem with the guy, but throughout the movies I had no idea he was a guy who goes through a radical character development into a sort of ruthless person willing to do anything to defeat the Capitol. Liam played him as a typical honorable, almost romance lead, not as a guy who becomes completely battle hardened. Hence the confusion and frustration. The problem there wasnt the writing, but the casting. Just my opinion. They needed someone harder.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my last post. I deleted all my multiplayer games and I’m going to give single player games a try. That’s not what this post is though.

I was wrong. I was one of those cats who was hating on Stellar Blade and thought it was goonbait and a ripoff Nier Automata. And don’t get me wrong. It is very much goonbait. And it rips off Nier Automata.

But with that said, I’ve dropped about 13 hours into it so far and it’s incredible. The music score Isnt quite on the level of Nier (but what is) but the combat is satisfying and once you get past the first map it opens up (side quests ect) and it’s very interesting.

The voice acting is great. Movements while they’re talking are a little shabby but I’ve seen worse. The story is compelling and the characters are fascinating so far. I tried playing it back in 2025 and wasn’t feeling the first area. Just dry and colorless and the enemies look like blobs, but it’s definitely worth pushing through.

What really compelled me to try again is I heard you can fuse in this game? And there’s some kind of Super Saiyan mode? Honestly that’s all developers need to do and they can have my money. I’m very excited and can’t wait to play later tonight.

If you were on the fence when it first came out I’d recommend it. Idk if there’s a sale, I’ve had the game for a while now. But… enjoy!

For me the most iconic part of Gundam wasnt the Turn A or the unicorn Gundam.

It was the fact that there were no real good guys or bad guys. It was an allegory to the nature of war and how it destroys us all. Inspired me to build my own Mechas that are all nation affiliated and at war with one another. So everytime I build another combinable set, I have a nation ( a real one like Russia or Poland, not fictional) in mind and a story behind their motivations, designs and boundaries. As a Marine vet who has deployed, I say war is ruinous.

Quitting competitive gaming

I get way too angry. I’m a Marine veteran with stores of rage that I can mostly manage fairly well. But I TRULY dislike people as a general rule and competitive gaming and the toxic nature of it doesn’t help for my temperament. Especially since I do not like to lose. I’ll be having a just fine day, pop in Overwatch or nba2k and if I lose two or 3 in the row it’s full tilt. Especially 2k because if you play 2k you know how unfair it is. You have to basically consider it a second job to grind just to unlock the same badges every season, and it is nearly impossible to win without boosts, which you have to pay for. So when my badges don’t activate despite being maxed, or my screen randomly glitches every time I go for a jumper, I just get enraged. I don’t unleash it on the mic unless someone says something toxic to me first, but once they do, my mouth is just pure venom and vitriol.
So that being said, I’ve made the decision to stop. I love PvP in Elden Ring, which I have moderate to high success and I can play GTO and RDO and hold my own against any crew but I’m cutting it out cold turkey. All of it. Having a game put me in such a funk is not good for my health, longevity or quality of life. I’ve just installed Stellar Blade which I’ve been meaning to play, and maybe I’ll try Lies of P again, or replay Cyberpunk but I’ve got to put competitive games behind me for good.

Anyone find their quality of life improve after quitting?

Blacktron - A Jupiter Story

In my multiverse head-canon: Blacktron Renegade was still evil, fighting against Lego Futuron. Futuron decided the only way to stop them was to send a sacrificial squadron to drag the Blacktron into a BlackHole. It worked, with the Blacktron being sucked into the event horizon. What they didn’t count on was that it was a SuperMassive Blackhole, powered by a central WORMhole.

The gravity of the BlackHole crushed the Blacktron, killing its inhabitants, and the wormhole swallowed the wreckage, spitting it out into our universe… the wreckage was found eons later by an ancient civilization who reverse engineered the wreckage into their own “Xords” and a “Mech”. Black Beret 🚁 , TriSceptorGon (the Mech), and A-A.R.D striker unit 🫎 ).

TriSceptorGon can also detach its canopy and its rear thruster to form the Mini-Xord, The Space Flyghter. When it does, the pilot enters the Space Flyghter and the TriSceptorGon operates on autopilot until the units reconvene. The three units can combine into one HyperMech, the Jupiter Xhosa for threats that are tok massive or powerful for them individually.

Anyway… Blah blah blah … alien civilization gets destroyed by asteroid or something… blah blah blah.. in their dying moments the alien race sends MANY Xords and Mech get sent to earth… the wreckage of these particular units are found by the South African government, and Reverse engineered AGAIN to the new and improved units you see in the video.

And that’s how Blacktron Renegade ultimately became Jupiter Xhosa.
