From The Fires Of My Desktop

Had a fun recording session tonight for a future Skyrim vid! I’ll have plenty of audio to go over next time I have time to slice and dice it. Tomorrow I was going to go over some video footage for Borderlands 3 to see if any of it’s worth sharing, and it’ll give me an excuse to check out more of KdenLive’s video editing suite. I played with it a bit yesterday when going over video footage that I inevitably ended up deleting. Shotcut will probably continue to remain on my system, but I figure it also doesn’t hurt to see what KdenLive has to offer – especially given that I’m looking at HDR video editing, and Shotcut currently doesn’t support it while KdenLive does. That’ll be my project for tomorrow. 🙂

Greetings from the Evil Petting Zoo.

Then for my last hour of entertainment for the evening I ended up playing a bit more DOOM 2, and managed to make it through The Circle of Death. I’m thinking after beating DOOM 2 of checking out Sigil and Sigil 2, the unofficial third and fourth episodes of DOOM by John Romero himself. Two days of DOOMING it is enough though, need to think of another distraction for tomorrow night. I know once the 14th of Feb comes around there might be some new shiny vintage Tomb Raider to play, and it’s even verified for Steam Deck!

I Wonder What They’re Talking About

Took some aggression out in DOOM 2 tonight. I went through some footage earlier and found out that it didn’t record correctly, and I had to delete another few hundred gigs…I feel a little better now that I’ve managed to kill some demons. Stopped on Lvl 10 for tonight, and even got an achievement for finding a BFG! Either way, I think I got enough anger out of my system to go to bed.

Frolicking Around The Cemetery

It’s been a week since I last played with my Steam Deck. I decided to give it a little love tonight by playing a bit of BloodRayne. Defeated the Queen of the Underworld and unlocked Blood Rage Lvl 3. It’s definitely been the right weather to play tonight. Dark, foggy and plenty of wind. The perfect way to end a quiet evening of video sorting. Even deleted a few hundred gigs!

Playing Down By The River Again

We continued our fabulous adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3! Covered more ground, completed some quests and freed a prisoner or two, and made friends with a really hot babe.

It was an excellent escape for a rainy weekend. I’ve mostly been taking it easy and sipping tea today. I’ll probably do something a little more productive tomorrow, now that I feel my stamina returning to me. I also have some story writing I’d like to finish up, and another Open Source video editing program I want to revisit and learn – a topic for a future post. 🙂

Under The Influence of Life

Continuing where I left off last week in High on Life. I earned the ability to use warp discs to get around, completed a paperwork game that went on a little longer than it should have, and decided to call it a night at the Boss Battle.

I came close to defeating him, but the light on his candle was only .1% harder to snuff out than the likes of mine. Called it a night before motion sickness sat in. This game, and a few other Unreal Engine games are making me consider upgrading my SSD/NVMe storage. The prices have been amazing for a few months now, and with more games using more resources and drive speed it would make sense to upgrade soon.

That and 4K rendering is far better on an SSD than a mechanical drive.

Soaring Along

Went on a semi-peaceful flight this evening, semi-peaceful because of the chance of crashing into shit. When I wasn’t running into objects and fixtures at high speeds I did better on each flight, and even earned a couple achievements for it!

I’ve been feeling kinda out of it this evening. Something tells me this weekend will need to be a chill one for me, feeling a bit under the weather and only one day of work left. I foresee a long winter nap in my weekend future.

I Got Mooned Tonight

Well, she only made it to Half Moon… Show some decency ffs. This level took me almost an hour to finish, but I forced myself to finish it.

You start out fighting this cartoon girl, who shape-shifts into a plane, a blimp, and draws on the power of the stars to change into the physical form of various star formations.

As annoying it was dying time and time again, it was oddly addicting. Being able to fly made it even more interesting. Each time I died I tried different patterns to thwart her, and after almost an hour I finally finished the damned thing. I was tempted to play one more level, but I know it would probably take another hour… minimum. 😛

Kiss My Asgard

Channeled a bit of my inner Gun-Toting Valkyrie in BPM: Bullets Per Minute tonight! I haven’t played it in almost half a year, and surprisingly I had my longest run yet!

In case you never heard of it before; BPM: Bullets Per Minute is an FPS Roguelike where you battle your way through randomly generated paths on each run to the rhythm of music, obtaining coin, health and power-ups along the way with the occasional boss battle and challenge at the end of each level. Tonight was the furthest I made it tonight! Not bad for not playing for almost half a year. I passed Asgard,  Vanaheim, and Svartalfheim and eventually getting beaten to death in Helheim. That said, it did get me some new achievements!

Normally I can only seem to get out of Asgard II before inevitably dying, but tonight I managed to get a good selection of stats. I’ll have to see if I can beat the game sometime between now and six months into the future!

My Weekly Dose Of Rainbows

Finished the first three levels of the Autumn Hub World! We’ve been having warm-ish weather here the last few days, but it’s been hella gray… THIS is where my weekly dose of Spyro comes in handy, with its colorful world ready to sweeten my eyes with its visual candy.

Went on a flight, did some pest control, collected some bones and saved some cavemen. Good way to spend the evening, a good game and some tea as per usual. I’m almost tempted to play a little more tomorrow!

Almost…

Each game in my library is screaming at me to play it, and with only so much time in an evening you can only advance your catalog so much. 😛

A Thirst For Blood… And Maaaaaaybe Milkshakes

Finished the last bit of the evening playing a bit of DOOM 2! Currently on E1M9. It was fun watching the demons ripping each other apart, made it easy to kill the survivors…

Other than that I did a little bit of story writing earlier, and even went out for malts with a friend! We were going to check a look at the local tea house, but they were closed today. Oh well, it’s been awhile since I’ve had any milkshakes and the same went for my friend. Between the long walk around town and the bleu cheese burger I’ve been nibbling on I’ll be getting a good night’s rest.
