Last night I had an almost normal-ish dream. I was reading a study about 11 hours of sleep being better than the typical 8 hours, as it promotes better mental health… and then I woke up after 8 hours of sleep, naturally yet feeling jet lagged. It made me wish there was more time in a day, just to make sure you get the best sleep, more work done, more play time, etc…
Evening Open Thread
Another evening where I don’t have much to say… so here’s some cursed AI slop I found wandering YouTube.
Open Thread.
Meanwhile, In Palworld…
This released a couple weeks ago, but I somehow managed to forget to post it. So… here it is!
Noot Noot!
I was telling a friend of mine about checking out “The Greatest Penguin Heist Of All Time” sometime. Next thing I knew they went and bought it! The two big selling points were Linux Accessibility, and playing as penguins that make “Noot Noot” noises. So far we’ve stolen a boat, infiltrated an island getaway, played some billards and recovered a hostage,.. even though I accidentally knocked them out.
It was fun! I’m sure we’ll get our money’s worth out of this one.
Worlds of Resonite 9
Another round of world exploration in Resonite! Featuring the modern Half Life Universe, a quiet cafe, and more!
Ohai Death
It’s practically a tradition in any Castlevania game to encounter Death, whether it be from getting my ass handed to me, or the actual boss battle… or both. Like most bosses this one took some timing. No matter what game Death is always designed to be annoying and irritating, much like the real thing.
Pretty In Pink
Gonna have to slow down on Gori: Cuddly Carnage; I’m already at the final level, or at least what looks like the final level. There is still plenty of replay value in the sense of finding missing items and un-tainted unicorns, and playing on the hardest difficulty. I think I’ll give this one a break tonight and return to the life of a Yakuza suffering from amnesia in Hawaii.
How To Piss Off Your “Real Fans”
Borderlands 4 is set to come out on the 23rd of September. Like many other AAA titles I wasn’t going to buy it on day one, and thanks to Randy Bitchford opening his mouth my decision has been cemented:
Publisher 2K Games and parent company Take-Two have so-far remained vague on whether they will go to $80, and Randy Pitchford has insisted the decision is out of his control. But, responding to one concerned fan on social media, Pitchford set the cat among the pigeons by saying that if you’re a “real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen.”
As a “real fan” I’m gonna enjoy other games that I’m also a “real fan” of until it drops low enough in a sale to make it worth buying all the DLC. As it stands $69.99 USD for just a base game has been laughable. BASE GAME! NOT EVEN DLC AT THAT PRICE!!! Also, when you treat your staff like shit like many other AAA companies it’s beyond laughable. Raising it to $89.99 is just diabolical.
While I await the inevitable sale for Borderlands 4 I’ll focus on conquering more of my ever expanding library. There are Yakuza games to finish, Castlevania games to storm through, and endless amounts of incredible indie games to experience. Randy Bitchford can take and roll any of his cringe-worthy shirt collection into a fat one and suck it.
The Video Editing Continueth
Went through some Resonite footage tonight and managed to come up with a few different videos, or at least video ideas. I already have one pretty much ready to export, just need to play with the audio levels before I commit to an export. The other two will need more refinement before I do anything with them. I also made a list of ideas for animated videos I want to do, whether or not those actually exit the concept stage is a whole other story. 😛
