Some highlights from one of our many Palworld sessions!
Deep Dive Into The Forbidden West
Last night and over the weekend I’ve been enjoying some Horizon Forbidden West from the comfort of my couch. Finally got my hands on some swimming equipment! Now I can go back and visit all the ruins and other areas that require more of a deep dive compared to the other more dry ruins.
It’s a New Week: Open Thread
Had a hell of a time trying to wake up, even after sleeping in. Didn’t really have it in me to do much today, other than a bit of YouTube prep and studying for my next assignment. It’s mostly been a day of pain management, brain fog and tea. Lame weekend was lame… I’ll have to make up for it when the next weekend hits.
Videos In Crab Space
Today became a resting day. I slept longer than I expected, and I feel a bit sore. However despite that I did export another video that I chipped away at for the last week (More Resonite Exploration). Since I wasn’t feeling too well we decided to make tonight a cozy YouTube watching marathon in Resonite. It’s been about a month since we last did anything in that corner of the metaverse. Might have to do some more world exploration soon!
Friday Night Open Thread
I hate to declare an Open Thread so soon after making one the other night, but my brain is all kinds of fried. At least I’ll get to sleep in before going to work tomorrow, then my weekend will await me.
Open Thread!
The Nintendo Switch 2 Released! But…
Today was the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, and to the surprise of no one I didn’t buy one. Like with any console release there’s always a few people who ask me if I’m partaking in any of it, and while the hardware is far superior compared to the old hardware, and even to the Steam Deck itself – I am still not the least bit interested. My gaming library is still vast enough that I have no need for a whole other platform. As it is the poor Steam Deck doesn’t get as much attention as it once did, though I still cycle the battery on it regularly.
Now… a Steam Deck with a higher resolution and framerate? I’d probably go all in on that on Day One. :v
The Sweet Taste Of My Enemies
Melon Simulator has been pushing updates at the end of each month. In March they added explosive barrels, which can be found on their own or embedded within enemy melons. In April they added a chainsaw to the game as one of the many weapons that can be found. I got some hand on experience with the chainsaw tonight, probably one of my fave weapons along with the sword… or using melon bits to take down my enemies. I won the battle tonight, which isn’t really saying much. The game goes until you get overwhelmed with melons, but I had to quit at around Wave 18 or so because of that real life sleep thing.
The Sunnier Side
The last couple of days feel like the climate in the Horizon series. We’ve had warm summer like weather, the kind of weather that makes you long for some cool crunch bowls and plenty of iced tea. Been spending the hot days studying week 1 and week 2 of the Cybersecurity Class I’ve been checking out, maybe a little video editing, and then finishing off with Horizon Forbidden West when the night finally cools our corner of the world.
Now the night ends, at least for me. The day comes for me a bit earlier than usual this week.
