Watching the Eurovision song contest tonight, loving it so far - I'm only at Song 14 (Lithuania) currently, but so far Germany has been my favourite entry, that Malik guy was really good. But my word, the Spanish entry wasn't half eye-catching...
Anyway, came to say, as someone who's never visited Italy, I'm loving how closely the clips of Italy they're showing between songs remind me of playing Assassin's Creed games. I'd always assumed there was a bit of artistic and historical licence applied in those games, but no, it seems Italy is pretty much Assassin's Creed Land.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@BruceCM The sooner the better in terms of internet connectivity, but I think the payoff in your case is quite worth it...if your ISP keeps their word. At least it's broadband! I'm lucky enough to have fiber, but areas not far from me have to rely on [shudders] satellite internet.
@Snatcher Most of my Friday the 13ths have ranged from okay to pretty decent. So yep, all in the mind.
@Fizza I've tried my hardest to avoid spoilers on Ace Attorney Trilogy so far and have mostly been successful, though it helps that the games aren't as widely talked about in most circles as more popular AAA franchises. I appreciate the recommendation of Ray Narvaez Jr.'s archives; I'm not against looking up hints if I'm stuck, though I try to do it carefully in plot-heavy games. If the games are as wonderful and charming as Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (which also involved Shu Takumi), I should be in for quite a ride!
@Anti-Matter Congrats on finishing Epic Chef! I'll definitely give it a look in the future; currently, the specs suggest my current laptop won't handle it well. Many of the Steam reviews are quite positive. One compared it slightly to Stardew Valley.
Sounds like you don't dislike Mario games since you collect them, just that they don't hold your attention for very long. I'm similar when it comes to racing and fighting games, which is why I don't tend to buy those often. To be fair, many main series Mario games - both 2D and 3D - are formulaic in terms of plot but sometimes do change up the gameplay quite a bit. I don't play them for the story, but for the mechanics and exploration.
@Fizza According to Wikipedia, Ghost Trick also had an iOS release worldwide. So that is an option if you can't secure a DS copy for a reasonable amount. I paid a slight markup for a North American copy in late 2019 and suspect the pandemic + ludicrous secondhand market right now has made the price jump.
Oof, yeah, just checked, and prices on this side of the pond are crazy. New copies appear to be going anywhere from $150-$200, and used is double to triple the original MSRP.
I was lucky and was able to get Ghost Trick, used (but complete in box and all that), for practically nothing back then when people didn’t care about it.
(Which I’ve probably mentioned before 😅)
Amazing game.
The iOS version is a perfectly fine way to experience it as well.
@Sunsy Thanks, I'm certainly enjoying it! It's honestly getting me back into Kirby, and I'm thinking of picking up Planet Robobot after finishing Forgotten Land. That's cool - enjoy it.
Good to hear you liked Mary Poppins Returns, then - I may give that a watch when I find the time.
@Tyranexx Ah ok, I can't blame you, a lot of shooters can have a tendency to blend in with each other. At least in terms of their theming and whatnot. I do like Street Fighter II as well, I know how to do a couple of the special moves at least, but I'm no master at it that's for sure.
I'm literally the same way with the Mario platformers, and I play them to have a good time - they're just plain fun. I love how many of them have their own distinct feel, too, like how Super Mario Galaxy is a vastly different game compared to Super Mario 64, for example.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Tyranexx
Oh, don't worry.
You still able to play Epic Chef on Nintendo Switch. The game also have physical release.
I think the developer downgrade the console version since I bought the PS4 version that I thought will have better performance than Switch version but all the console version have same loading time to pass the gate and no grass textures unlike Steam version.
If you really want to play Epic Chef, better you find a website for some guidance, from list of ingredients, crafting list until the whole map of creepy forest since you can easily to get lost and wasting the time in creepy forest. I prepared a lot of papers to write down all the cooking battles situation, the judge taste gimmicks, which dish should be judged first and best combination ingredients to get highest flavor points yet still obey the rules or get minimum penalty as possible. Here is one website link I used to check the ingredients list with their dish Synergy. https://epic-chef.fandom.com/wiki/Ingredients
And here is YouTube link for walkthrough whenever you get stuck in the game.
Okay.
After I finished my Epic Chef PS4 yesterday, today I continued my progress of Dodgeball Academia PS4.
My first impression with this game, it was really good.
I like the combination of cartoonish 3D environments with 2D style characters, looks like modern Paper Mario style games from graphic aspect. And it was running in smooth 60 fps (Of course I played the PS4 version and this is the reason I bought the PS4 version).
From gameplay aspect, I found the RPG mechanism was like adaptation from other games. For example, 2 slots equipments was like FF VI or FF X-2, the charging Balltimate meter was like Extra Mode King of Fighter '97 (hold the Triangle button to charge the meter), the elementals in ability like Fire or Lightning, the recovery center in Hospital was like Pokemon Center. Even I found some name parody inside Dodgeball Academia.
Guess what names I found here? 😛
Speaking about my current status in Dodgeball Academia, my team have reached level 11, already learnt about Focus (Charging the Balltimate meter) and have reached Episode 2. Still have to work on my team level as the battle become more difficult when the KOed opponents stay behind my team and could throw the balls on my team.
I like this game so far. 😊
