I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

We had a bit of a heatwave today. Got off work in the afternoon and started building my closet storage. Just need to rearrange some stuff and it’ll be right where I want it to be. If I’m not too tired tomorrow night I’ll try to finish it up, and if not I’ll have a whole weekend to get things tidied up… among other things.

Money Well Saved

Another Steam Summer Sale came and went. This time around I didn’t bother purchasing anything. I have too many games to get through as it is, and not enough time in a day even with the Steam Deck. Last night I did at least get a little bit of Horizon Forbidden West in, and the night before I checked out Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne. It gives me an excuse to read the comic for it in my spare time.

Late Night Open Thread

I recently ordered some supplies for what feels like my never ending closet project. I’ve opted for some storage cubes for clothes and other things… sadly they aren’t companion cube shaped. I’ll probably start assembling things on Friday, or over the weekend. Then I can continue purging more things that I’ll need to toss. *Sigh* too much to fucking do…

Open Thread!

Another Game Finished… Kinda

Late last night I spent the rest of the witching hour playing Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, and finally beat the first playthrough! As a result I unlocked Nightmare mode, which I’ll have to check out on another night where I have time for that kind of fun and frustration. I will say though, there was something nice playing this on a large TV with a controller. 😀 It was just as satisfying as playing it on Steam Deck or anything in between.

Something Something Paling Around

Ending my weekend pretty much the way it started… by capturing pals and discovering new areas. I’m still re-capturing all the pals from our previous session, but other than that we are more powerful than ever before! I also found some time to sift through more Palworld footage. Might have something up for one of the coming weekends.

May The Chi Be With Me

Today was a perfect day. The sun was shining, breakfast was a smoothie, a private spa day was had. It was so perfect in fact that I decided to play a game from the PS2 era that was cursed with jank.

The last time I played Legend of Kay it was almost two years ago. I found an irritating puzzle and jumping mechanic that made me lose interest in it. After tackling it tonight I did make a small bit of progress.

 

I had a hell of a time trying to traverse rotating platforms, and if you’re unfortunate enough to fall you have to start from the beginning of the level. It can be pretty irritating, especially when the constant turning triggers motion sickness you keep forgetting ever existed. But I didn’t give up, and made it to the next chapter in the game.

I might continue this on the big TV before calling it a night to get the full console experience. If the game doesn’t relax me the accompanying tea and ramen will.

Palworld Mod Science

Tonight turned into a debug session in Palworld. I had a mod installed that replaced the expedition gate with a Japanese Torii gate instead, but something about the mod caused me to crash. After some serious brainstorming we finally narrowed down the offending mod, and I spent the rest of the evening going Mary Poppins on the local digital wildlife. At least now I’ll have a fun Palworld Weekend!
