Made it past the first aerial faith plate test, which was surprisingly easy. The next one makes up for the simplicity of the other one, enough that I’ll have to rest my head on it. I have it most of the way figured out. Now I just need to figure out how to use momentum across time while the time portal is restricted to only one tiny room… that’s my theory anyway. 😛
Let’s see… I got to play Jenga with shipping containers, kill a bunch of aliens, meet with a contact that got blown up by aliens, continued to blow up more aliens, found a MECH WITH A CHAINSAW!!!! then I killed even more aliens. Rinse, repeat.
Overall, a productive evening.
Also, as an added bonus:
Got through the last laser puzzle in Portal Reloaded, it took me awhile but I figured it out… It looks like the next test will be with Faith Plates! That should be interesting, next time I play.
We had another nice summer day. Fondled my Steam Deck a bit more, enjoyed a good breakfast this morning and joined in on one of my new fave podcasts, and did some video related stuffs! Now I’m planning to do a bit of online shopping before bed. Some friends of mine are moving away next month, and I wanted to assemble a goodbye package for them. They are really nice people, and one of them was hired the same day I was. I’ve gotten to know them better over the last couple of years, enough that they will be missed. I’ll be sure to wish them my best, but until then I’ll need to prepare something awesome for them!
Once upon a time, I started a game called Legend of Kay Anniversary – and like many other games before and after it, I never got around to finishing it. Today was the day that changed, and it was all thanks to some hot weather and a Steam Deck. It isn’t Verified for the Steam Deck, in fact at the time of writing this it is currently listed as unsupported. But I can confirm that it runs like native via Proton, and it was playable on battery for about 4 hours. It’s perfect on the SD Card!
Legend of Kay Anniversary is a remaster of an old Playstation 2 game about a young cat boy named Kay, who lives in a village that is slowly being taken over by Rats and Gorillas. If you ever go to play this, – you have to keep in mind that this is a game from 2005. It’s the combat is going to be clunky, and the voice acting has no qualms about going from corny to terrible. Once you get past that, it actually has a nice charm to it.
I’m three chapters in so far, and gained several achievements by the time evening fell. So far I’m satisfied with my progress. I’m sure I’ll be back to helping some Wabbits next time I pop in to play!
Finished the first chapter of Hi-Fi Rush! It was fun to get my groove on for an hour. Made it to the hideout, petted a robokitty and upgraded. Good note to end the evening on.
Made it out of Tartarus during lunch, and got knocked back into the House of Hades when I got home. On the brightside I did make it farther this time! I used the sword. Each time I die I always try some other weapon; so far my faves are the sword and the bow. I hear the shield can do a lot of damage, but my first playthrough with it didn’t go as well as it did with the other weapons. I also recently unlocked a spear, maybe I’ll try that for my next playthrough?
Dipped my toes into Shadow Warrior 3. My last taste of the game was a bit soured, having come from two previous games that gave you more weapon options and sword movement; but damn… don’t those cutscenes look nice??
As simplistic as the gameplay has become compared to previous installments; I did have fun playing with different explosives found within the variety of demons I laid to slaughter. I also obtained a drill gun from one of the demons, that was pretty cool. They also brought back one of my fave characters from the 2012 reboot! His lines and enthusiasm actually make me want to come back to this again, or maybe even return to the 2012 game to do a little achievement hunting!
I’m still a little mixed overall, but at least on this run I did find some positives. Maybe I’ll find more on my next session. 🙂
Played around in Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem tonight! Probably one of the tougher ones I’ve played in the series. My only complaint so far is the optimization; sometimes I get frame dips during combat. Other than that and dying a lot I’ve been getting through it. I may die a lot, but each time I last a second or two longer! That’s a second or two more to take more baddies out.
