Time For A Lil’ Makeover

Made some changes to the blog tonight! Replaced the RSS plugin that I was using for fetching my Mastodon posts with a more proper plugin, plus I played with the look of the site. I decided to lighten the colors up a bit since we have a Dark Mode to use as an alternative. 🙂 There are a couple more things I’d like to implement and change, but this will do for now.

I did get through another chapter of BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites, been playing it here and there in my spare time. Stopped on Chapter 9 tonight. This has to be one of the hardest Metroidvanias I’ve ever played hands down. I died so many times trying to get past pools of acid without missing platforms. It makes the Shantae series look like child’s play by comparison.

Dawning of a Dying Light

Got some cobwebs dusted off my eternal gaming backlog tonight, and kept it Spooktober themed in the process! Tonight I tested my mettle at Zombie Parkour in Dying Light. I made it past the first level, did a little city sight seeing and even grabbed a few achievements. The controls took a little getting used to, but it’s basically Dead Island: Parkour Edition (it’s even developed by the same company). It also has co-op and mod support! It’s also a Deck Verified game; I might have to consider adding it to my Steam Deck to get through it faster. I’ve already finished 9 games this year, and only a couple more months before the new one begins. Usually I finish 4, or 5 if I’m lucky.

I have a few other pix on Masto.

Evening Open Thread

I’ve mostly been taking it easy tonight. Too tired to really focus on one thing, and I haven’t been feeling so great today… feeling more sore than usual, and a little dizzy. Hopefully I can get through work tomorrow, then I won’t have to worry about it for a couple of days. I have a feeling this will be one of those died in bed weekends.

Open Thread!

Something Something Skeleton

For my lunch break I decided to play Breath of Death VII; a comedy RPG. I haven’t touched this in years, nor did I get very far on previous attempts. Something about playing it on a Steam Deck felt right though, aaaaaaaand my eyes are shot after a night of poor sleep. I’m hoping to change that tonight!

Despite being labeled Deck Verified I managed to get the game to lock up twice. Next time I play I’ll have to experiment with different Proton versions to see if I can fix it.

A Waltz Through ZombieLand

This level will fist you if you’re not careful…

Finished ZombieLand in Bloo Kid 2! Had to defeat an Altered Beast. I’ll have to go back and kick its ass again so that I can get an achievement for defeating it without taking any damage. I can see what I have to do, it’s just a matter of timing – something this game relies on. The next world is a winter wonderland, which means I’ll be taking a break from it until the winter vibes come around.
