  • Ain’t that true. As a car mechanic(in asia), i used to not think about it for a long time, but lately the cost of owning a car seems to bug me to no end. Often in busy day, someone will come in with a breakdown which might take a few hours to do because of the workload, and the reply i get from them is “can you do mine first? I’m in a hurry and i need the car, without it i can’t get anywhere”. Or someone came in with a badly maintained car, where they have to delay a lot of simple but crucial repair because they’re short on money. Or ignore an oil leak while topping up oil constantly because they have no time to get it fixed, which sometimes cost even more in total.

    I just paid nearly 1/4 of my monthly salary to fix my 20 years old car, and that’s only for the part. Can’t get a used car because i need the cash, can’t get a new car because i don’t wanna have more mortgage. It’s crippling if you’re poor. It’s simply bullshit when people use the poor to justify car-centric development.




  • From what i looked the character movement and behaviour seems to be unchanged, but the combat is speed up so it looks so weird. The character model and the mouth movement is honestly doesn’t looks good, sheogorath looks so so weird. From the trailer and some gameplay it’s basically like adding those environment, lighting, combat, and then character model mod, very much mismatched. I guess that’s the cost of remastering to current standard while maintain the jank, as most would say, the janky-ness of oblivion is what give it the charm.

    I think skyblivion gonna “feel” much better as it’s build on top of skyrim.











  • I don’t like it. If the earlier phase is short and relatively painless it would be nice, but sometime, it’s way too long and it become a nightmare to play.

    DS3 Sister Friede spoiler

    Sister Freide is a great boss battle, but oh my god the 2nd phase is honestly the worst phase, and by the time it reach the 3rd(yes, 3 freaking phase), i’m already tired with all those running around and healing. The great fight is sandwiching a worst nightmare, you need to deal with two boss, and friede will cast healing spell and you need to stagger her to stop it or end the phase quickly to not dragging out. The multi-tasking is tiring.

    DS3 Demon Prince spoiler

    Demon Prince is another painful fight for me, even though i enjoy the hell out of it. The first phase having to juggle between two beast and learn their moveset, and after much struggle with killing both, the second phase start and you have to learn this one moveset as well, so good luck if you struggle with the two guy.




  • A few days ago, before i’m about to go out to work, i count my cats to make sure none of them left outside in my fenced yard, and one is missing. I couldn’t find her anywhere, even in my storeroom which i double checked to make sure she really isn’t there, so i took the exact treat and shake it hard, a few moment later she crawl out of my storeroom.
