so i’ve been playing quite a bit of it. i think it’s good mechanically and the absurd narrative pairs really well with bonkers premise but i couldn’t bring myself to write about it for one reason: i’m exhausted with needless live-service elements. idk, i feel like exoprimal would be a much better game if, like i was le… Read more

tysm for enjoying the read, badprenup ! i appreciate that. and you know what, that’s a fair position: this game (and the studio more specifically) is dead. so this review is kinda like kicking someone when they’re down but because i didn’t play it before this review i was curious if gollum was as bad as all the… Read more

ty for the correction ! i think i confused belail for baal Read more

i do wanna be sensitive about folks with mental disabilities especially since i have several family members that exist on various sides of the autism spectrum. so i don’t wanna just say that the commenting dude needs a mental health check...but...i agree, dude could use help calming all that violent aggression he’s… Read more

yeah you know it’s something i wanna do more often but i tend to get scared of the comments section. some folks here are beyond mean lol and while i can take it, i’m sometimes too busy for the drama you know? regardless i do wanna do a better job at moderating at least the comments section of my blogs so if you’re… Read more
