Everything's OK now that you're here.

For one, its an accident waiting to happen. A guy was grabbing the last few pamphlets out of this cage and it collapsed on top of him. All the manager had to say was "I hear you were trying to kill yourself." And I get it to lighten the mood but it seems like that's his automatic response to every situation.

They give WAY too much power to their clients because they ask for the stupidest stuff. "Can you give me 1,500 of these but wrap them in 200s?" Well not exactly because the math doesn't add up, I'd have an extra hundred??

Had this insane job that was on a conveyor assembly line type thing where I had to pack all these books into boxes, they made it go so fast that I barely had time to do anything, barely even get another box. It took all my energy to keep up and why is that? Because this job was due on the 4th- It's the 12th. They take on way more jobs than they can handle, this is at least a few days job and we're trying to cram it all in.

For reference, I'm a cutter, I cut the papers and stuff, so to take me away from that (which is basically the equivalent of a front line) means more and more work stacks up and the last time I did this, I was never able to catch up, only managing maybe one or two out of five carts a day. They made the rest disappear and are having me pack again. Now why is it going so fast? Because there's 40,000 of them and the customer asked us to box them in 50s. So 800 boxes. I don't even get a minute a box, mere seconds between each stack of ten and mere seconds for each box. I was filling them faster than they could make more boxes.

Sorry I used my phone but you get the point-

This is the best one I could get of the end, looks kind of stock, similar to Rainfell but in more of a crown shape

It also has a look similar to the Missing Link keyblades and was my immediate thought upon looking at the two new characters.

But I know it's not the same keyblade so this is all just design comparison

The boy looks like Noctis. It even has the crescent moon in the middle portion of the hill. It's actually a cool hilt, ugly.

No rounded points at the end of the crown. I knew it wasn't a Nomura art immediately and I at first took it for just a new artist's art and was open to it but a shiver went down my spine when I thought it could be AI and of course, I was unfortunately right.

There are these random black and white borders just in the middle of the art which is just bad design if it was intentional. It even frames the castle like it was pasted in Photoshop- no- photoshop would've done a better job. So yeah, I'm gonna drag it through the mud as much as possible because I know Nomura's busy and he only ended up finishing the KH3 artwork really close to the deadline so I don't blame him for not making another art but I also know this wasn't his decision. I can almost guarantee you that AI wasn't used for KH4 (because if it was so efficient, wouldn't it be out already?) and I hate to see his creation's image destroyed like this because of- someone's negligence. I wanna say Disney because they've been so pro AI but it could be Square acting as a company. I doubt it's Nintendo as it's only their console.

This is technically the first big budget PS5 game that I've played, I started Oblivion Remastered but never finished.

I feel like there's a disconnect between what everyone says and shows with the game because there's the trailers, fans of the source, fans of the developers, then the reviewers who don't fit into any of those and it's all a little mixed so instead of spoiling anything, I'm just going to give you a more accurate representation of "what" this game actually is.

The title is 007: First Light, which means that this game serves as an origin story for James and how he got brought into MI6. So, you won't bust out of the gates with "I'm the suave Bond character that we all know and love" think more along the lines of how the Survivor trilogy is to Tomb Raider. You might do familiar things like move through a crowd at a party but with the context of "this is his first time."

I like the idea of an origin and having multiple '00 agents at first but they give off a more frat-like culture than expected and are just like "Bond, you're too headstrong" and then he ends up being right every time. It also takes place in today's day and age so it can be strange when they mention stuff like "Yeah. I went to a wedding in '22" like- 2022? That's surreal. It'd be an interesting piece to go back to the 60s but hey whatever. The way it presents itself makes it sort of predictable. I kept asking myself "Okay, when's the James Bond game going to start?"

But don't judge it too hard in those first few chapters. I get it, they're a few hours and games shouldn't take that for granted- but potential qualms such as "he talks too much" and the frat culture get remedied, it's just a bit shell-shocking at first in comparison to what we're used to. It started ramping up in Chapter 4 and made me enjoy it a lot more from then on.

With ioi interactive, does that make it more like Hitman? Not necessarily because I didn't like the more recent Hitman games quite as much because it felt like it was more about separate missions than an overarching story or any setpieces, basically giving you little contained sandboxes to play around with and see how to puzzle solve your way through an assassination. This isn't quite like that, it has similar degrees of gameplay such as sabotaging, distracting, and eavesdropping on conversations to find out extra things but it's a more linear experience.

It's not like any sort of open world or sandbox, so I guess maybe I was hoping for just a piece of the Hitman formula as a lot is scripted. Disguises are scripted, QTE's are scripted, not as many interactables to start out- A lot only has one way to go about them (there are instances but not quite as much as I would've liked) therefore no real reward for doing it a certain way other than gameplay preference (stealth vs. guns blazing), it's always the desired outcome.

I didn't watch every trailer, nor should I have to, but that first one showed Bond shooting at a couple targets, it's a quick little segment but it got me excited because of the snap targeting and slick transition from sliding to shooting, I watched that part over and over again and it looked like a cutscene but I couldn't help but get excited for something like that. It has a quick cover mechanic but the shooting didn't quite snap the same I wanted (I wanted something more akin to MGS5).
