From the Roman execution to water in a Pokemon game, we've been making judgement calls since we knew how to wah.

For having-little-else-to-do's sake, imagine translating an evaluation system typical of something you'd see in video game critique, and slap it on the Gregorian calendar. What! Say! Letter after T!!

[[Grading Rubric]]​

Presentation: Saw pleeenty of walls... and it was HOT SIZZLING COMBOBULATING, alkfgomsd. 5/10

Entertainment Value: Coulda been worse, coulda been constipated. *wink* 4/10

Difficulty: Easy-shmeezy..!! Though the challenge of existence in an entropic world certainly must count right..!? In that regard, I'd say it was pretty well-balanced. Hardest part of the day was trying to merge into that one lane when a guy vroomed past all Steve McQueen-ey. >_< 8/10

Story: WELL. I didn't learn horridly much or had any super interesting excavations today but I had some fun reading up on some stuff. ^^' 4/10

Originality: I'm going to be honest here, I've seen this kind of day before... it doesn't quite push the envelope like its predecessor, Wednesday, did just earlier this week. *shrug* 4/10

Replayability: Taking into account the copacetic hum of the birds, the casual sprawling sky in typical neverending there-ness, the mood-ranging exchanges amongst my family members and the occasionally over-the-shoulder ear grab the daily grind helplessly is reminiscent of, I would say....... no thanks Groundhog!! 2/10

__________________________


Overall, a solid 4 pizzas out 10 deep dishes..!! Tolerable, not super extraordinary in-betweener I'd say... but also not devastatingly awful. A++ sustenance to the patron deities..!

Your turn..! ^^'

What's the deal with these stealth levels . You sneak around avoiding people and then someone sees you surely there's options, something you can do but nope game over they saw you.
5/10.

That moment when trying to think of a creative review for your day is more exciting than the actual day itself.

Cult classic this day was not, but it did have a killer soundtrack. 6/10

Progressed social link with the girl I chose to date; I feel I'm pretty close to unlocking her tragic backstory, maxing this path out completely. Visuals were pretty great, as was the music, and the controls felt very fluid. A little too much grinding but I enjoyed it. 9/10

Presentation: My home as the only environment I could explore. The game relied heavily on return visits to my bedroom. 4/10

Entertainment Value: I found and saved some good memes today. 2/10

Difficulty: My soul felt like it was being gradually crushed by my own self awareness. Doubt consumed every single one of my thoughts, even in menial tasks. 3/10

Story: Discovered swag in 2018. 9/10

Originality: Equally as repetitive as the predecessor, it made no effort to differentiate itself both mechanically and in presentation, painting a grim picture for the sequel.

Replayability: The constant passive aggressiveness between me and my family varied, could definitely change in my next play through. 4/10

Overall: The internet is my only friend. 9/10

Presentation: Messy bedroom, downtown Shelton. Mediocre at best 5/10

Entertainment Value: Got some exercise, flew a kite, watched the new Jurassic movie ( Meh ) 7/10

Difficulty: No work, it was windy so the kite went right up, used giftcards for the movies. 10/10

Story: Got Nothing 0/10

Originality: I like flying kites. 2/10

Boring grindy shit with terrible pacing, but I never really felt frustrated with any specific design decisions and the music is amazing

Presentation: This day didn't do anything out there or new. While the switch board is still fairly new, it's been done better on previous days 4/10

Entertainment Value: Got a cool Fortnite win with the squad, but the radio station DJ part of the day got kind of grindy 6/10

Difficulty: Outside the monster of a headache, it was pretty easy 3/10

Story: Pacing is way too slow 2/10

Originality: This was basically just Wednesday without having to go to class. Headache status effect just exist to punish players for no reason also, and days need to stop using them. 2/10

Replayability: This day wouldn't be the worst thing ever to do again, but there's better uses of your time 4/10

Overall: 4/10

"Although at the start seemed to be a really great day full of personal plans, some glitchy vendors who never showed up and the monotony of conference calls really hurt the experience that ended killing the personal plans completely. A drag that goes on and on and on and is it's still not finished at the time this review was written, some variety could be encounter in going to Walmart to get some shit to eat and a couple of Blu Rays . Maybe it improves as we go deeper and the reward could be substantial, but as per right now fuck this day. You can get some enjoyment in a side mission called ResetERA talking shit"

3/10 review in progress.

Opening level had a steep difficulty curve which was quite brutal but once I got out of bed the progress was a lot easier.
Mid-game side quest when I lost my phone involved a bit of backtracking but got some good xp out of it.
2 more hours of grinding to do but looking forward to the rewarding mini-games to follow
7/10

Gameplay is excellent (drawing all day)
Extremely repetitive, with a brief weightlifting minigame
Story is basically absent, though the end credits (Incredibles 2 tonight) are expected to be a treat

8/10

I don't even know what the developers were thinking with this combat system, it isn't fun at all and it's ridiculously punitive.

0/10 would not recommend life to anyone else, stay well away from this buggy broken game. Unless you're a masochist.

Disappointed there isn't a character creation tool. Main character is kind of meh. Story progression is really slow, and the gameplay mechanics seem to mainly consist of watching TV and browsing Era. It's relaxing for what it is though I suppose, okay to just zone out to. I read that there's a little more action later in the day. Judging by what I've seen so far, im doubtful, but I guess I'll finish my play through and find out.

Edit: just got hit with status effect "hungry." Is this one of those survival simulators? I tried Ark but couldn't get into it.

Best walking simulator ever, visual effects very realistic even on my obsolete hardware. If I have a complaint, it's that the numerous side missions are often so engrossing that it can be difficult to motivate progress in the main game. Earlier revisions had fewer distractions, though it's fair to say that the gameplay was very tedious without the abundant free DLC.

A pretty worthwhile horror experience, dotted with tasteful moments of tenderness, but the story is marred by a cliffhanger that promises even more horrors to face.

(national elections tomorrow that'll determine if we'll be stuck under a dictator for the next perhaps decade)

Presentation: Being at the hospital makes you appreciate that things can be so much worse. 5/10

Entertainment Value: The baby was fun, rest was the same twitch viewing that's always been done. 4/10

Difficulty: Too many bullshit handicaps you can't turn off. 7/10

Story: Rich and deep. You want jim to succeed and feel legit bad when he fails.' 9/10

Originality: I'm going to be honest here, I've seen this kind of day before... it doesn't quite push the envelope like its predecessor, Thursday, did just earlier this week. *shrug* 4/10

Replayability: Nothing worth coming back to. 2/10
