aaaaaaaaaand it's done! i'll definitely be writing up an EXTENSIVE review whether anyone is interested or not, but the short and sweet of it is that it's a really, really good game with a pretty bad story and just way too much stuff to do in it. not that the stuff you can do is necessarily bad or uninteresting in any way, there is just so much of it that i started to get tired. open world fatigue is very real, and i really, REALLY hope the next zelda reigns it in at least a little bit.

78/100. on the surface, it is one of the greatest games ever made, but past 50 hours you're gonna' start realizing it isn't. there is $70 worth of content there, but is the game worth $70? i don't really think so, especially given the limitations of the hardware it's running on.

just saw another open world rpg maker game. the guy had been working on it for a year and a half and it already had a few hours of content. screenshots looked half decent, still using the default assets.

had me worried for a second. turns out there isn't even a story yet, though. still, i gotta' finish my game quick otherwise all of my ideas are going to seem like i'm copying someone else. i already kind of had that happen to me with breath of the wild releasing with its non-linear story/progression.

i am standing at the entrance to the ganondorf boss battle. at long last. i'm gonna' eat first lol. irl and in game.

rift apart is donezo. 100% file completion, all achievements.

i probably won't get to perform on monday or tuesday ;_; weather is supposed to be pretty bad. that means i'll have skipped two entire weeks. there's not much time left of the season either which is just sad.

i can't wait to see more about rivals of aether 2. the first game is awesome and has probably the highest staying power of any smash-like, but the lack of shields/grabs/ledges throws me off, as does the pixel art style. roa2 solves all of those issues. i can't wait to play it.
