Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel Holy sh- Holy f- HOLY. I did not expect to get this excited over the story mode of a fighting game, but here we are. What I can say without spoilers: If you like DEMONBANE, you should play the hell out of this, if not then, it's still worth a look, though it won't be nearly as interesting. Gameplay wise, I assume more experienced fighting game enthusiasts might find this to be a bit too simple, specials are triggered using the exact same button sequence, regardless of character, breaks, counters and support attacks are much easier to pull off than other fighting games, still, it's pretty fun, and even with all that I found the last boss of story mode to be a pain. It's also really fun to watch Sonico, a normal human girl, beating the crap out of eldritch abominations and godlike entities. Overall, if you're a fan of Nitroplus and their series, it's worth a look, though there are better 2D fighters out there, so if you're not that interested in these series, it's safe to skip.

YouTube is now serving full songs as ads, these two are the best so far.

Once again, governors of 10 different states are threatening to abandon the federation if the president keeps ignoring them. They're tired because "there's no money" for hospitals, education, infrastructure, security, etc, but there is a ton of money for that shitty airport that won't work, that refinery that won't work, that train that will destroy the jungle and the hundreds of baseball schools the president wants. So now they're saying that, unless changes are made to the 2021 budget, allocating more money for the states and their needs, that they'll begin the process of removing their respective states from the federation, effectively tearing the country apart. AMLO has also announced that companies and regulatory agencies need to play nice with PEMEX and CFE, and stop trying to bring back them neoliberal renewable energies, or he will change the law to force them to comply.

https://www.proceso.com.mx/nacional/2020/10/24/las-energias-limpias-son-un-sofisma-lopez-obrador-251507.html "Clean, renewable energies are a sophism of the neoliberal era, what we need is to buy more coal..." Our president, in an interview, same interview where he stated that there have been no more increases to fuel price, never mind that they recently introduced modifications to tax laws in order to ensure fuel never goes before a certain price again. It can go up, but never down. In other news, the National Family Front is flipping out because the Pope said homosexual couple couples are cool. They're like "Nah, he didn't say that, not at all, the Pope would never support that filth, his words were taken out of context, that's all, yeah..." Oh yeah, and they're blaming the Masons, 'cause apparently, according to them, the Masons and the LGBTQ+ community are working together in some kind of global conspiracy or something.

Kandagawa Jet Girls HELL YEAH! \m/ \m/ A fun game, but it definitively feels, and looks like they wanted to deliver THIS and ended up with this. Things like costumes and accessories feel pretty limited and most of the stuff that's there is just: A plain swimsuit A swimsuit with horizontal stripes A swimsuit with vertical stripes Stuff like that, just minor variations of the same basic items. Gone are a bunch of the things you could do in the SK games in terms of outfits, accessories and yes, dressing room interactions. Machine visual customization is also pretty limited, though you can change the colour of the overall paint scheme you choose, so you can have camouflage that's bright pink with green and red, or whatever you fancy. There aren't that many locations, but they do some neat stuff with different routes per location, so you do end up with a fair amount of race courses, machines look cool and they are all different from one another in neat ways, visually at least. The two biggest issues for me are the way machines feel, and the difficulty. Machines look different, and they're supposed to have different characteristics, but all of them feel the same way except for Messy the Hunter, which actually feels heavy and somewhat clunky, other than that, there's no difference between them. The difficulty is, well, I don't know how many people watch F1, but most races here feel like you're Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes and everyone else is racing F3 cars. There's no challenge, you'll leave everyone behind at the start and then never see them again. There was a race that a lot of people complained about in terms of being a sudden difficulty spike due to some upgrade restrictions, but I found that to be the most fun one, it was an actual race, your opponents were always close and you had to be careful not to crash, make good use of items and time your boosts/jumps, it was the best, wish more of the game was like that. Storywise, it's fun, just a silly funny little sports anime story, power of friendship FTW and all that, except for the 7th school: Still, I had fun with it, and would like to see it continue, it does seem like they wanted to set up a new franchise, but I don't know how well it did. Considering we're unlikely to see SK Seven anytime soon, or ever, KJG is, IMO a neat successor, they just need to iron some kinks out, polish the trophies and upgrade some engines.

DOOM Eternal: Ancient Gods Pt.1 This was BRÜTAL!!! But in a good way, kinda, this DLC will punch you in the gut and kick you while you're down. When the trailer showed the double Marauder fight I thought I wasn't ready for it, by the time I made it to the last boss, I found myself wishing more fights were as easy as that one. Funnily enough, the Slayer Gates, which are meant to be challenge levels, were much easier than the normal fights, less enemies, none of that super-buffed-assholes, and plenty of ammo and armour to go around. The last boss had me screaming "are you fucking kidding me!", it's quite a thing. Still, overall, it was fun, in a weird way, the fights, as relentless and brutal as they were, had this satisfying part to them, making it through with no health/armour and then running into the next arena was a thrill, the BFG was much needed in some parts, though ammo for it is scarce as hell. Not a fan of that new enemy though, and given how things went this time, I wouldn't be surprised if Pt.2 just goes "here, now there's MORE of that thing". Music was fine, I was worried that they'd go for a more atmospheric feel, but they did keep it kinda close to Mick Gordon, although it lacks that punch that his mix of Djent and Industrial has. Story was fun, and it added a bunch of neat details, it also has, IMO, the best origin story for hell. Some other stuff: Before Pt.2 hits, I'm going to replay the base campaign and this DLC a couple of times, just to make sure I don't go in cold like this time, not making that mistake twice.

In progress*: *Meaning, I'm debating between finishing this, fixing some details, adding more stuff, and shadows, or just giving up for now.

FUCK THE FUCK THAT PLACE, FUCK THAT SHIT, FUCK EVERYTHING There, I feel better now.

Launch trailer for the DLC, which may or may not contain some spoilers. Been playing for a bit and it's BRUTAL.

I'd love to play as Carver one day, I've played DS3 coop before, but only as Isaac.

Also available here. MX

Took a break from Genshin Impact to play some Nitroplus Blasterz, the fighting game featuring characters from different Nitroplus series.

Salvador Cienfuegos, General and former secretary of Defence arrested in the US. Apparently he helped a faction of the Beltran-Leyva cartel while he was in office. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN27128X?il=0 ????

The president stated that he will leave when "people want corruption back" This after he had already said he'd quit if: People didn't want him there (already happened) 100K people marched against him (already happened) Seems like he'll just keep moving the goal, which yes, also means that he has no intention of ever stepping down, part of his power fantasy known as the Fourth Transformation.

I'm planning to play it on PC*. *Assuming the 3000 series cards become available and not just an illusion, or if AMD presents something cool that's actually in stock.

So this is going to be a thing. Why American soldiers? Why not just have them be people in the Monster Hunter world, hunting monsters? The LoTR remake is going to have Frodo be a member of La Guardia Nacional that got transported to The Shire. I would love Tony Jaa to be the main character, but I know he's going to die early, and then Mila Jovovich is going to end up being immortal/superhuman/an army of clones and that's it. Looks terrible, and I can't wait to watch it.

This, I know that Cyberpunk will most likely fail to deliver the "best game ever" but I'm bored and tired of the Ubisoft formula, so even though I like Vikings, Valhalla isn't something I'm interested in, I might get it later on when it's on sale, but for now Cyberpunk looks way better in every way, even if it has a messy launch.

Since the beginning of this administration there's been a several lack of medicines for many things, including patients who were receiving cancer treatment as part of the healthcare system, this, mostly because the new government cancelled a bunch agreements between laboratories, pharmaceuticals and distribution companies on a whim. When first confronted about this, the first lady said "they should help themselves, it's not my problem" then claimed her words had been taken out of context. 4 Days ago, Head of government Mexico City: "Yeah so uh, we totally had the medicines, like, for realsies, they were in this warehouse in Iztapalapa, totally, they were there but uh... Yeah they were stolen by a bunch of armed people, yeah, totally, that's what happened, stolen, yup, but we totally had them here, no I can't show you any evidence that we had them here, you just have to trust us. What about the cameras? Yeah we have them in every corner but uh... Yeah they didn't catch these dudes, look, all I have is this photo of a truck... I mean, the truck they used to steal them, OK? No more questions!" 3 Days ago, the president: "Yeah no, we didn't have the medicines, we can't get them, we want to get them, but you see, there's this global conspiracy against the fourth transformation, they, the neoliberal conservatives, the intellectuals, the experts, the scientists, they don't want us to succeed, because it wouldn't benefit them, so that's why we don't have medicines" Also 3 Days ago, in an official announcement: "Mexico will recover our heritage, more resources are being spent on traditional medicine, we will move ahead this way." So yeah, fuck that neoliberal science and its medical treatments, here, take some chamomile tea, that'll fix you up. In other news, people from several communities have complained that the contracts they signed for the Tren Maya, were not what they thought they were, they were sure they were signing to allow the government to use the land, in exchange for monetary compensation, instead, they have learned the contracts state that they are allowing the government to take over the land. They claim that government officials didn't allow them to read the contracts, pressuring them to sign without properly going over the documents. And while we still don't have money for schools, hospitals, medicines or to help people during the pandemic, we do have money to open hundreds of baseball schools.

It's been a shit week/month/year, but there's nothing that bunnies can't fix.

Drinking songs are fun. Nothing will come close to the Bismarck video, but this was still pretty fun. \m/ \m/

I think I might have to cut some holes on the sides my shelf, as it is it'll have about 1.5cm (.6 inches) on each side...
