Been a while since my last post.

 Let's see what happened on the video game front...

*  i miss E3.  The hype, the announcements, the industry cohesiveness.  Now you have a bunch of disjointed videos.  MSFT is probably the closest to still have E3 type, but i didn't watch again this year. Only really interested in Fable anyway.

* Becoming more and more disenfranchised with what video games have seemingly turned into. Unfinished buggy messes at launch.  $70 for new games, how about no.  Constant updates are annoying.

* Got Game Pass again for 3 months (thanks severely nerfed Microsoft/Bing Rewards points).  Decided to get it to play Persona 3 Reload and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (hopefully, i'll get around to it before GP expires in September).  With Game Pass, it seems i play games more for the pittances i get for rewards than actually enjoying the games.

* Beat Persona 3 Reload (GP). Took me about 70 hours.  Got all achievements except the extremely annoying one for maxing all social links.  Kind of hard to do on a first playthrough (especially with the social gated ones). A little better than the previous version - the shuffle time isn't really a randomized thing anymore. The end boss still really sucks (his 13 sub forms).

* i Hate tactical games.  Playing Persona 5 Tactica.  Not going well.  Somehow beat the first two kingdoms.  Much prefer the standard JRPG "grind until you're invincible" strategy.   Don't like all the stupid added rules.

* Been playing some free-to-play games.  Mostly Idle Champions (D&D) and Puzzle Quest 3.

* Have a third GamerTag that i wanted to use to reexperience Xbox 360 games, but i haven't done that much.  Don't know how i had the patience to beat some of those games back in the day.  Some are so much harder for me now - i guess "aging" and getting worse with twitch movements and screen recognition can do that for you.

GamerScore Update (as of June 14, 2024): 

-Primary: 253,426 (wanted to get 100K for XBOX 360 alone, not looking likely).  
- Original/Secondary (is it still): 108,478.  
- Tertiary: 13.396 (mostly free-to-play)
