This was boring and so button mashy. I'm sure there is a good enough game here if you can deal with just spamming the same button for 100s of hours.

Anyone who values their time should not bother, slow to get going and then becomes grindy in the pursuit of better gear.

This may be someone's dream game, especially with the random loot aspects but it isn't enough to keep me pressing 1 button to do everything.

When I was in elementary school, we had a day where students with enough "good noodle stars" (they were actually tickets, but whatever) were allowed to pick an activity they wanted to do. The sportsy ones chose to have their day outside, but all the 'cool kids' (or at least, whatever 13-year-old me thought constituted being a 'cool kid') chose the gaming activity - moving to the art classroom to play on their DSes, trading Pokemon, the works.

I usually just played Ocarina of Time 3D alone while talking to my friends, but my favorite memory of these times - and Pictochat in general - stims from some kid trying to help someone with a math assignment through it and almost getting the entire thing canceled because their fat fingers made them type "ass" instead of "add" and their so-called friend immediately snitched on them.

- Cruelty Squad is one of my favorite games of 2021 (alongside Metroid Dread). It's a hellish 90s computer program with the mixture of Goldeneye N64, Super Mario 64 and old school shooters on a bad trip. The gameplay is solid, rewarding and punishing. It looks like some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game but actually well designed. There's plenty of secrets to discover just like the old times when discovering was special until GameFAQs or searching up anything online spoils the mystery.
- Each missions has its own settings such as a harbor, mall, cruise ship or a suburb where you have to assassinate targets of corporations. The dialogue is straight up legendary and hilarious. Has profound moments worthy of a discussion.
- My favorite toys are Chunkopops.
- My favorite anime is Haato no DokiDoki: Zankokudan.
- My favorite program is Zoon.
