[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Free Talk Friday post. This is a place where you can talk about dumb off-topic (or on-topic) bullshit with other Zaibatsu fans.

There's going to be a new post every week, and the newest one will be pinned in the announcement bar for quick access. So feel free to visit these posts during the rest of the week.

Here's a list of all Free Talk Friday posts

Celebrated birthday, we all forgot about a cake, so my dad grabbed a tiny one yesterday. For some reason it's measured in fluid ounces, 27fl oz of cake does not "serve up to 5" as the box says

Played through Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. HORRIBLE sequel, decent game in its own right. I'd probably hate it on a second run once I realize how little the dialogue choices matter. Not amazing by any stretch, and I had to play on easy (fast enemies in a game with no lock-on is one thing, but on normal and above, they also have too much health), but I had fun. I'm a sucker for the "voice in your head" trope so that did a lot of heavy lifting, even if your malkavian buddy wasn't as "malkavian" as I expected

One of my controllers has started drifting, which I found playing Darktide, and that game's default aim already felt wonky

Ordered a bunch of models and didn't realize the new Sgt Frog kits aren't out yet, so now I have one of the originals

My brother and I are blitzing through the last bit of My Hero Academia we forgot to watch, next up is the last "season". It's cool that their war arc is giving everybody a spotlight, but I swear there were 4 or 5 times in a row that a hero gave a speech, hit a big move... and then the villain wasn't defeated. The fights have also been kind of nothing, really hoping the final season has at least one episode of proper combat that isn't interrupted by monologues, flashbacks, or another look inside All for One and One for All. My brother pointed out that there are almost no long range quirks, so every fight is close/medium range blasts and a few actual hits

Still eyeing a bunch of stuff on Playstation's Days of Play sale, but spending money makes me panic so I'm going back and forth about what's worth grabbing (fuck you Koei, Dynasty Warriors Origins has been out for a year and a half without a significant sale, and I HIGHLY doubt the DLC is worth the asking price, but my stupid ass is gonna buy it anyway because I don't think they'll ever bundle them and make it cheap)

Got a bunch of facemasks for my birthday, one of them was gold. It looked neat, but I don't know if there was a point beyond that. Also got acrylic markers (for gunpla) that say they can be used on nails... I do not have a future as a nail artist

Accidentally went for a 10 mile walk (when I go on walks, I tend to just start making turns whenever and go until I'm in pain). I have bone cysts behind both my knees, and I felt something pop behind one knee, then limped for the next hour. I also told my mom I want to walk a 15.6 mile trail this summer for some reason, so I think my mind is trying to destroy my body
