Played a little bit of BG3 tonight, didn’t make it too far but we did learn some new strategies. It was a small break from the video… I’m almost done working on it – keep running into the occasional hitch, but I’m getting through it. Gonna finish the credits, then I’ll finally be able to export it! Then sleepy time.
Keeper Of The Shovel
I haven’t posted much about it, but I’ve been animating away every night! Bit by bit I’ve been bouncing between two different projects, and tonight one of them finally won! I completed all of the animation, just need to do the final exports! Then I can begin on stitching it all together. If all goes according to plan I’ll release it next week! w00t!
Taste That Rainbow!
The copious amounts of film noir rainy weather have been putting me in a mood for more colorful games, and it doesn’t get much juicier than the Spyro games. I played more Year Of The Dragon, and funny enough we’re actually in the year of the Dragon! I might have to play more games involving Dragons as a kind of a personal side-quest for myself.
I cleared a couple levels, found all the gems, spheres and completed some basic puzzles. They’re pretty simplistic, but then again this is a revamped kids game from the 90’s. I’m only playing through it because the original games were never available where I lived growing up. My only childhood memories of Spyro involved the first levels of the original Spyro game on a Pizza Hut demo disc. It’s kinda funny telling younger gamers today about those old times about ordering pizza and getting demos, fun times.
With my weekend on the rise I’ll probably kick it off with something a little more adult, something to sleep on anyway. I only have a few hundred ideas to choose from. :v
GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT
There was a severe lack of sun in my life today, and what little of it was witnessed lacked any warmth. So it only made sense for me to chase a fictitious sun, with no other reward other than a couple achievements and some computer generated warmth. I also played a bit on Steam Deck while doing a couple more SFM renders. One of these nights I’ll have to check out the Steam Workshop, they have quite a few custom maps to choose from! But like many other games in my collection, it will have to wait another day. Gotta keep a healthy rotation!
Giving My Steam Deck Some Love
Got to spend some quality time with my Steam Deck today! During lunch I progressed a little further into Grim Fandango Remastered, and managed to snag a few achievements by accident. It was a refreshing 20 minutes before returning to reality.
Then later on this evening I had an SFM render going on my main desktop, which left me with more alone time to fondle my deck. 🙂 This time I decided to revisit Cuphead, after abandoning it a couple years ago for other worlds in my library. It took a lot of slamming my head against the wall, but I did clear 3 levels, and even splurged on a couple of character upgrades! I’m pretty proud, in fact I’m proud enough to take a break and move onto something else. 😛 I might return to Race The Sun tomorrow. That one also runs real nicely on Steam Deck!
I Walk Amid The Evils Of The Black Labyrinth
It’s been over a month since I’ve continued my trials in The Black Labyrinth, but the time away didn’t slow me down any! I made it through The Hole, and at the start of the next level! It was fun climbing giant swords, and as usual I made sure all enemies were slain… now I just need to to a future playthrough to find all the secrets. 😛 More pics can be found over at Masto.
This Post Contains No Baldur’s Gate 3 I Promise
Actually managed to be productive today! Thanks to preemptive pain management, a good breakfast and about a gallon of tea I powered my way through some cleaning today. Not as much as I wanted to do, but enough to feel less claustrophobic.
Other than that I got a good chunk of animation done and played a tiny bit of Crash Bandicoot: Warped! Collected a few gems; two silver, one gold. Also did some time trials, managed to get gold status on a couple of them. I’m at 62% completion, one hour earlier I was at 58% Now that I’m a little over half way there I’ll probably visit a different game world tomorrow night. 🙂
Silent Sunday: More Adventuring!
Now that I’ve figured out how to disable the UI I’ve been able to take some really decent photos! This game has so many beautiful sights to take in, and we’ve barely scratched the surface.
I helped a bard and was treated to a private concert. We also helped a child escape a few annoying harpies at the beach, and even attended Burning Man.
Of course it wasn’t ALL fun and games… in Baldur’s Gate 3, anyway. I did refine some animation today, and even played a little bit of Neon White for the first time in months. 😛 Mainly trying to Platinum a couple of levels I had Gold Rank on. I might actually finish that game at some point this year! 😛
Saturday Night Gaming
I decided to give my Steam Deck some attention today, just to kill off the rest of the battery before doing a recharge. Returned to BloodRayne after a long reprieve, and actually made it a couple levels further. The fighting seems a lot easier compared to the second game, but then again I am only a few levels in. I think in BloodRayne 2 I left off a few levels away from the end. I vow to return to it when I’m done being pissed off at it.
Towards the evening I met up with Yutram again to continue our long journey to rid ourselves of the dreaded cthulu parasites. We lost a couple battles, won some unexpected ones, saved a couple NPC’s from flames, and met my watermelon colored guardian and got a little digital shut-eye.
Now to go and follow suit. 🙂
Accept Loviatard’s Love HURR DURR!!!
We had another fun evening venturing the world of Baldur’s Gate! This time at a more leisurely pace, though the glitched gods did smite Yutram with a game crash we did manage to persevere.
Of course, they did bless him with a charming performance.While my character was partaking in BDSM to earn a special blessing, the Dom was facing the wrong direction on Yutram’s screen, resulting in an extremely derpy dominatrix facing away from my severely albino half high elf. I actually kinda envied his POV. Other than that, we survived a few battles and freed a bard. Also emptied our collections of random junk to a trader for some extra coin. I’m already looking forward to the next session!
