Heya! I'm Behemoth, and I'm a big ol' nerd. Professionally, I recently became a web developer, but I used to work at the Pike Place Market. FFXIV, JoJo, One Piece, Gundam, etc.

Man, that fog is STILL hanging around. It was really thick last night, I went for a walk around the block and tried to get some pictures of it, it was so surreal. Could hardly see two blocks away. None of them really captured how it looked except this one, kinda. Hard thing to photograph, fog.

Back at the office today. I'm considering bringing my space heater in, one of the other guys in the office has one. It just gets freezing in here, honestly reminds me of working at the market in the winter. Where like... if I were up and walking around, this would be fine, but since I'm just sitting in one place all day, I end up getting chilled.

Someone I follow on tumblr is going through an Armored Core 6 phase, reblogging all kinds of art and whatnot. That game... I kinda regret dropping it so quickly, but I really felt like it was just not for me. The aesthetics of the mechs didn't appeal to me, and that was clearly one of the major pillars of the game, as with any From game.

And it's not like it was too hard or anything, but it was clear that I would have to put in a lot of time to get accustomed to how it plays. I'm not a person who can bounce from game to game and grasp the controls quickly, I gotta put in the hours. When I first played Nioh, I spent a couple hours just killing the first few enemies over and over, getting used to the controls. Same with Dark Souls, come to think of it. And then it took me like 10 more hours to actually beat that first mission! It was a whole thing.

I put like 200 hours into Nioh before beating it, and just on the regular difficulty. Lots of starting over and trying again, coming back weeks or months later. Then I had an easier time with Nioh 2, because I was already accustomed to its core gameplay. But it took all that time invested to get there in the first place.

It was the same with AC6 as with Sekiro: I saw a path forward, but I just didn't want to take it. In this case, it certainly didn't help that I was like 50 hours into Baldur's Gate 3 at the time, and didn't want to switch gears.

Anyway, I feel like I am the only person even aware there's a new Dragon Quest Monsters game coming out on friday, much less the only one excited about it. I love that series! I haven't really played one since the first Joker game on the DS, which I didn't really like, but from the demo of this one it seems like a return to form.

Probably because they remade the originals on 3DS and just... never released them in the US... the DQ dark ages....
