At My Sunday Best

Today’s Sunday was slightly more sociable than the others. A friend of mine had a birthday today, and what better way to celebrate than by going out for a bite and knocking back a drink? We strutted town until deciding on a place, we had some tacos to absorb the booze. Unfortunately he didn’t like his drink, but everything else was excellent. I came up with a fun idea of buying a backpack, hiding presents in it, and then wrapping the backpack as a giant present. Kept him busy for awhile. 😛

Then as evening came, and we said our goodbyes, it was time to shift gears to another friend of mine and continue our epic journey into Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3. We’re currently evading the evil shadows and their curse. We made it to a camp after saving a group of people who tried to ambush the True Souls we were blending in with. I’m glad we finally made it to Act 2. It took us a few months to get here, and I’m sure it’ll take a few more before we reach the end game. Of course, it goes without saying that I’m savoring every moment of it. 🙂

Meditation & Hats

Decided to do some zenning on the couch tonight with some tea and good scenery. Covered a lot of ground, leveled my character and found more things than I could detail.

I journeyed between The Village and Fields mostly. Found some Spirit Mail to deliver, which helped purify and open more areas. To be honest it was hard for me to put the game down tonight because I couldn’t stop finding things. Kept finding hats, rots, even a couple of meditation spots and several chests. Even with the battles it was still very therapeutic gameplay. Enough that I can give it a rest, as well as myself.

Lovely Night

Tonight was a Race The Sun kind of night. I wanted to touch the clouds, but alas I was off by a few jumps. Also checked out Labyrinth Mode a bit, but mostly practiced Apocalypse Mode, then I finished it off by playing endless sunrise.. Fun Fact: If you park yourself in a sweet spot during flight you’ll go several levels without hitting a fucking thing. I literally put the controller down and the terrain refused to murder me. I’ll celebrate tomorrow night by playing something with a bit more story to it.

Kept You Waiting, Huh

Squared off against The Jaberwock tonight, and lucky for me he sucks at playing a game of Jacks. Then I navigated through one of the easiest mazes ever, it’s hard to get lost when you keep following all the enemies you haven’t killed yet.

Parking in Airborne Terror for now.  Looks like it’ll be fun. I thought I’d be getting pretty close to finishing, but I’ve looked up the list of levels and I have at least a few more sessions before reaching the end. Oh well… more to savor!

All-Mother Be Praised

Another evening of victory! Took care of the last camp, then killed A LOT of cultists and a few machines. I’m currently on my way to clean up a couple areas that are being plagued by corrupted machines. Kinda wish I could continue playing, found so many things to discover before calling it a night. Oh well, some other time… Nevertheless it was a nice escape.

The Adventurous Sorts

The last bit of my evening was spent losing myself in a very vivid, colorful world with much to discover. I returned to the farmland that was previously on fire, and began to slowly purify the land. I found a few rot, won a few battles and even have a special delivery for next time.

I’m thinking tomorrow night of continuing my adventures in HZD. I played a bit last night, and much like in Kena I was once again lost in a very vivid world. Last night I left off helping the Nora Braves take down some Cultists, destroyed two of three bases and found a few Ancient Vessels for my ever expanding collection. It was fun taking down the alarms and creating an ambush. I don’t know why so many people at work told me this game is boring, it offers a multitude of destroying your enemies.

Project Update: It’s Coming To Life!

Operation Game Of Life is going according to plan! It’s looking like it will be at least a two-parter for YouTube. I probably won’t be debuting it this month, sad to say. I’d rather take my time to finish this and Part 2 to show back to back. I’m thinking June at the latest. I have two more SFM things to make for it, and a few things that I can put together in Krita, then it should be completed and ready to can up! Kinda bummed that I probably won’t be putting things out for awhile longer, but maybe these videos can help pad things on YouTube when they finally release.

Saturday Late Night Open Thread

Survived another week. Celebrated by going out to lunch with a friend. Both of our birthdays are coming up, we were talking about ideas for his, among other subjects. Afterwards I finished up some more animation, in fact I’m doing an export of it now. It’ll be awhile before SFM finishes the render, so it looks like I’ll be using my desktop as an RGB space heater tonight. I did spend some time on my Steam Deck tonight, haven’t really had a chance to play with it much recently and wanted to change that. I was too tired to take any pics, my caffeine is finally wearing off.

This is going to be a gooooooood weekend.

Fly Like An Eagle

For being a game about trying to go as long as you can without crashing into something it sure holds some surprises. I discovered this card world through one of the world portals.

Other than that I got a couple of achievements, and even made it to the highest level, which apparently is a rare achievement in itself… I’m guessing people got bored of the game after awhile. Eh, there’s just something about it that I like.

Since I made it to Level 25 the game rewarded me with a new level that can actually be finished! Whether or not I make it though is a story for another time. Of course, the game itself is far from over. I only have under half of the achievements, there will be more future visits.
