Can you change your uniform for Gym fights? Some of the uniforms they sell look cool, but I don't know if you can change it for gym fights or if it's just another outfit for normal stuff.

Yeah, I picked Grookey after looking at its final evolution. First time arriving at the wild area I saw an Onix, immediately ran towards it only to find it was level 26 (Grookey was 12) , didn't end well. But it was cool to see it just roaming around. \m/ \m/

Oops, forgot to include that. It's the PS4 version.

For the most part I haven't had any issues with the language, though there's been a couple of times when I went "what did you just call me?". Y was the last one I played, and I like that now even catching a Pokemon gives your party EXP. Y-Comm is kind of annoying in handheld mode, but on my TV the icon doesn't bother me that much.

A friend of my father is selling his game collection, he has Diablo 3 with the Reaper of Souls expansion for $14, is it worth it? Does the expansion come as a download code that has probably already been used or is it included in the disc?

\m/ \m/ Couldn't find Pokemon Sword anywhere though. I'll take a look around other stores but it seems it won't be arriving until next week at the earliest. Edit: \m/ \m/

It looks cool now, I'm actually looking forward to it.

Days Gone Holy shit that ending! \m/ \m/ I went from not knowing much about this game and not really caring about it to having it be my GOTY. It does have some issues, I ran into a bug where I could not retrieve ammo from my bike, framerate goes to hell sometimes and textures had some trouble loading in some endgame areas, but even with all that, it's a really fun game. The open world is actually fun to explore, and unlike some other game I never felt like I was being punished for going out of my way to go somewhere or for trying a different path. There are no cops/Unidad/Wolves/whatever that chase you if you mess up or anything like that, all obstacles and enemies you run into while exploring feel like they actually belong there, they're natural. You won't get chased by 40 thousand choppers if you bump into someone else, there are no enemy soldiers that spawn out of thin air if you accidentally enter a restricted area, nothing like that. The stuff that you do run into is nowhere near as frustrating as the stuff I mentioned, and running into a horde while you're trying to reach a mission area is quite fun and somewhat scary. Animals and freakers (zombies, but we don't call them zombies ) wander around and some of them can keep up with your bike, but it's still easy to outrun/eliminate most threats. The map and the world itself are also pretty barren and it's hard to express how much I enjoyed that, particularly when compared to other games that have a trillion icons/missions/NPCs/etc. There's only a handful of camps, there's rarely a time where you have more than one or two missions active, usually a story mission and some side missions. Even with all camps, NERO checkpoints and ambush camps unlocked, the map is still easy to navigate and you never feel overwhelmed when looking at it. Getting upgrades for your bike, along with more and better weapons really changes the game. The opening hour plays like a survival horror, enemies are deadly, your bike is kinda slow and ammo is scarce so avoiding confrontations is pretty important. Later on though, you pretty much turn into an unstoppable machine of death. Except when it comes to hordes. Hordes are one of the most fun aspects of the game. There's a couple that are story related and most of them you can just find while exploring. Fighting one requires knowing the layout of the land, entrances and exits, any places you can climb, dead ends, etc. You'll also want to bring a ton of ammo and traps as some hordes can have hundreds of enemies. The biggest one has 500 freakers or so, fighting it was fucking awesome. Storywise, I can describe it as Sons of Anarchy meets The Walking Dead. There's some of the usual zombie stuff but it's executed in a fun way and Deacon is one of my favourite characters. At the start he seems like an asshole with a death wish, but as the story progresses and you learn more about how he ended up like that it makes sense, and he does start to change for the better. Then there's the ending. There's stuff here for a direct sequel and even for sequels/spinoffs/DLC that follow other characters, so I do hope it did well enough for Bend Studio to explore some of those stories. Shoutout to my aunt, she's the one who got it for me as a gift, otherwise I would have missed it. \m/ \m/

Then it might be a better idea to move all your songs and then install VLC.

I use the VLC app and Spotify. VLC has some issues though, sometimes new files won't show up in your library and you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app for it to work again, however, this isn't that bad unless you're constantly adding/removing files.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-50299562 Women and children shot and burned, some, according to their relatives, burned alive. There was a tweet by one of the family members showing one of the vehicles they were travelling in, shot and burned, but twitter took it down. While the official version states that they were attacked because the cartel mistook them for a rival gang, it's dumb to ignore that the LeBaron family and their mormon community have a long history of standing against the cartels, defending their lands and in general, refusing to bend their knee against them. Further, they had official protection from the PF, until our current president disbanded them in favour of the National Guard which is currently acting as Trump's wall, beating the shit out of immigrants trying to cross into Mexico to then try and get into the US. Meanwhile, in one of his (in)famous press conferences, the president, instead of facing the issue, claimed that he had defeated violence, that murders are going down and nothing bad happens anymore, then he used this incident to engage in one of his favourite pastimes, blaming previous administrations for everything and ignoring everything going on right now. In terms of the Selva Lacandona, now they're proposing splitting it into thirds, with one third going to each of the groups fighting over it, this means the destruction of two thirds of one of the most important natural reserves the country.

Now I don't have to spend Christmas alone! Thought about getting Peach Ball Beach Splash but I still have to play Estival, instead, ended up getting this. \m/ \m/

Oh boy, it gets worse. Someone should tell out president that one of they keys to a successful dictatorship is to keep the army on your side, and you don't get that by throwing them under the bus at every chance you get and then putting them and their families in danger by doing the shit he just did. During a press conference he washed his hands, denied any wrongdoing on his part during the Culiacan siege, placed all blame on the army and then proceeded to have the secretary of defence name the Colonel who was in charge of the operation. In other words, he painted a HUGE fucking target on that guy and his family, without giving a shit. Then, when confronted about all the lies, inconsistencies and other BS that was said via official channels, he proceeded to claim that he and his administration did nothing wrong, that they responded with truth and in time to all questions and when a journalist pointed out how this wasn't true, the president tried to shift the topic to other things. Except this guy was having none of it and kept pressing, kept asking about all that, eventually other journalists joined in and the president, not able to take the pressure got pissed, said that journalists were "biting the hand that feeds, the hand that removed the gag placed on them by previous administrations". Funnily enough, the journalist that started that whole thing announced that his credentials had been removed and he was banned from attending further press conferences. When other journalists asked about it, the president resorted to his usual thing of blaming the opposition, the conservative media, the Thing, anyone and everyone is to blame, except for him. Earlier in the week, a speech made by a General was "leaked" to a newspaper, in it, the General is addressing other officers, soldiers and defence officials, saying that he and others are dismayed, offended and angry at the way things are being handled, that the army has enemies in the administration, ensuring they are not allowed to serve their duty, he ended by asking for support for another General, who "was fighting hawks that threaten to sink the country into chaos". The president responded by saying "Of course that guy would disagree with our approach, he was secretary of defence during a previous administration, he misses those old days". In other news, the Dos Bocas refinery, a project of dubious legality, was shown to have essentially destroyed the shit out of the surrounding area, turning it from a green place full of life into a fucking barren desert. Cool. In Chiapas, Lacandones are worried about a possible war with the Tzeltales and the Choles, because, while the Lacandones honour their traditions and live in harmony with nature, protecting the jungle and basically never taking more than needed, the Tzeltales and Choles have burned down their parts of the jungle, destroying everything to make room for farms. Now the're trying to take over the land that belongs to the Lacandones, who, though outnumbered, claim they will do everything they can to defend their land. BTW, this land is pretty much the last remaining "lung" of Mexico, home to a huge number of species of plants and animals and where some important archaeological sites are located. Of course, because there's no political or economical advantage to doing anything for them, it's unlikely the government will step in, which may also lead to the extermination of the Lacandones, ethnic cleansing, to call it what it is. Oh, and to top things off, MORENA, the party of our current president, is slowly taking over the INE, the institute in charge of elections and all the stuff related to them, essentially ensuring they'll remain in power for as long as they want. The president: Introduces the concept of impeachment, promising to make it so that if a president does not act with the benefit of the people in mind, they can be removed from power. Also the president: Ensures he and his party control every possible institute/office/secretary/cabinet/system that could be used against them.

Thanks, it helps to get an outside perspective. I'll see where I am by the end of November.

Happy Halloween!

Days Gone, it just did that thing where it goes "You know all the stuff you've done so far? That was just the first half of the game!", except that unlike some other open world games *cough*Ubisoft*cough* this time I'm actually happy about it, I'm looking forward to exploring this new area and seeing what stuff I can find here. It also looks like the camps here have some pretty cool upgrades for the bike and weapons so I assume there'll be new/stronger enemies to deal with.

https://open.spotify.com/album/6Z7jp3MKzJhzwHCvEauLPl In case embed doesn't work. It's the new Insomnium album, Heart Like A Grave. This is that time of the year when happy songs make me feel like shit and sorrowful songs make me feel at ease, and there's nothing better than Insomnium for sorrowful winter music. \m/ \m/ I lied, turns out, Airbourne just released a new album too: https://open.spotify.com/album/3exqV2MhKWetLhgfc7RPBO HELL YEAH! \m/ \m/

Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but for me, the issue was not that it was rushed out, or that it competed with the previous, more developed entry in the series, the issue is that Ubisoft added so many of their "innovations" (their words, not mine ), that it ended up not feeling like a GR game at all, the loot system, the side missions, which had issues from Wildlands that were made worse this time around, the lack of customisation options for both weapons and characters, or rather, the way they locked things to make them work with their new loot system, the MMO(ish) stuff, all of the microtransaction BS, etc. All that made me go from "HELL YEAH a new Ghost Recon game!"! to "Well, I guess I have more time to go through my backlog". They have delayed some of their other games to give them more time, and they claim they'll still support GR: Breakpoint both sound good, but we'll see.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ubisoft-targets/ubisoft-cuts-targets-as-ghost-recon-breakpoint-fails-to-impress-idUSKBN1X323C Part of me hopes they'll use this chance to improve the game, it has some potential but way too many things drag it down. Part of me knows they'll just shelf the series like they did with Splinter Cell.

When it works, it's really cool, and the details behind it are interesting, when it doesn't work... It's something fun to try, and maybe show it to other people, see how it goes.

Looks kinda cool, never read the comic, but it could be a fun movie. Maybe.
