    Truckin’ With Val # 10

    You know, been gaming for a long time. Probably know some games not even heard of. Though, one thing I noticed that has pretty much been forgotten about. At least when it comes to AAA+, is music.

    It might seem like something small, but music that actually stick out can take a bad game to good, a good game to great, a great game to excellent, and an excellent game to amazing.

    When it comes to AAA+, I can’t even remember them almost all the time. Most of the time I question if there are any to begin with.

    Which just makes the experience not as good as it can be. :blob_unsure:

    It's like when you watch some movies without the background music and the experience isn't the same. Though some games are better without music. Zombiod has a good track but it is a better experience without music.

    The music all sounds the same.

    Truckin’ With Val #9? Pretty sure it is 9, let’s blame the ducks if I am wrong.

    Anyway, you lot remember those games. Where they introduce the coolest, bestest ability, transformation, in the finale or right before. Make you love it, just to realize you will never be able to use it again.

    —> This is why mods are great.

    More so, that’s why Val developed to always introduce the lead’s strongest ability

    Truckin’ With Val # 8

    Ya know, been around the block many times. Seen stuff, including how iguanas have plot armor in real life. The deadly winter in Florida like 12 or 13 years ago. An iguana somehow ended up being taken care by us, and lived like a king.

    Last year, an iguana crossed a busy road casually. A few months back, an iguana nearly drowned in the pool. And ended up getting food, water, and place to chill

    Wait, wasn’t it Ubisoft that said you should get used to not owning your games?

    Yep, that was it.

    Thing is, and what many people forget somehow. Is that without ownership.

    There is no certainty you’ll be able to play those games.

    As they can be pulled at any moment, they can bar you for any reason, etc.

    At some point, you won’t be able to access them anymore. Just look at mobile games, countless were pulled over the years. Even the long lasting ones.

    Ya know, I think one of the dumbest things I have heard game wise. Is that 15 hours is long for an Indie game.

    I think the longest ones I have played was roughly between 30 to 40 hours. Though, most are 20 hours and below, which isn’t long.

    Hell, Chrono Ark is about 33 and a half hours. Though, you can easily sink in hundreds.

    Monster Hunter World is fun, but F the cat. I want my dogs. :blob_catflip:

    Seriously, not one Monster Hunter game I relied on the cat, even by a bit. Always found the cat borderline pointless, since I would just run circles around monsters.

    At least the doggo helped me. :blob_pat_sad:

    Tenchu set a standard for stealth games all those years ago. And I feel like very few, even less than that ever gets it right.

    I remember it was a pretty difficult game back then, and now. I’m not confident how I’d do on it today. ?

    On yeah, I remember the heal cheat back on PS2.

    Up, Down, Right, Left, Square, Square, Square.

    However, this cheat will not save you against Wrath of Heaven. ?

    Well, I suppose it is no surprise the Assassin’s Creed game turned out that way. Ubisoft was focusing heavily on the store part of it. To buy your way out of a lot of stuff.

    They used the predatory practices of mobile games.

    To be honest, they can enjoy what they want, but they're hurting themselves. Imagine if Ubisoft wasn't handling it, and it was in the hands of another AA studio with something to prove. Like what happened to Larian.

    I think part of the issue, or really a larger amount of the issue is more multilayered. At least when it comes to AAA+. They try to appeal to non gamers, and those people typically wouldn’t know better.

    And those people make up most of the profit. As a result, if they can sell more to them it, works out, whether or not the quality is good.

    What makes it even easier, are the people who would defend corporations that don’t give a damn about them.

    So it works out even better.

    Truckin’ With Val # 7

    Fellas, there are a lot of mysteries in the world. Such the mystery behind the witch’s hat. Or what muffins do after the setting sun. Are they vampire muffins, or nocturnal muffins?

    One day we will get the answer I am sure. And along that line, another mystery is this is the third person who have offered to draw art and sell it to me from my story. Though, the first to offer in comic/animation

    Truckin' With Val # 6

    Ya know, ladies, gents, witches and muffins. This goes back six or seven years ago, in the before times. When you could afford a sandwich without blowing out your bank.

    Val remembers, and while it is still shown to some extent today. It was people really against writing anything that is above 2k words, and would discourage splitting it off into multiple parts.

    Val was the odd one on the block. He wanted to write without cutting anything, so he decided to split a chapter into multiple parts. And well enough as it was, it took to the flame and did extremely well.

    The lesson he learned in this instance, is that risks have to be taken. There were arguments about splitting points, etc, but Val wrote in a way that it wasn't an issue.

    Folks, there are a lot of things Val has seen. Some more disturbing than the last. Though, to this day. I still wonder why the hell Netflix came out with that 2020 movie Cuties(a title that should have the FBI break down their door).

    I didn’t think about this, until a video popped up in my YouTube rec on Moist Critical grilling someone over it.

    Fellas, Val has been around the block too many times. And what he found in the darkest corners this time, is how the witch has manipulated the one who rules all.

    It is only a matter of time until we are all under their witchy powers. First Tony, then SH, then the world. Join together and eat a muffin to stop the witch. :blob_thor:
