I came sooooo close to conquering all 10 zones tonight! Oh well… on the bright side this is the furthest I’ve made it so far. Give it a few hundred more deaths and I’ll get it! Tonight’s run had all the fixin’s; chain lightning deaths, siphoning energy from destroyed enemy ships, such upgrades, much enemy destruction!
See you, Space Cats.
I took a gameplay session from what was almost two hours and chopped it down into a hot minute.
Wow, it’s Wednesday and I somehow managed to make a short video AND play three different games… and they’re all indie! Started out with Outland during my morning lunch break, then played a round of Hades and then finished off in Whisker Squadron Survivor. What can I say? I’m versatile. 😛
After murdering a green cube with my laz0rz I think I found The Matrix for mechanical insects. So far this has been one of the harder alternative routes to take. I still haven’t beat a run – I clearly need more practice!
This time when I re-entered the House of Hades, my faithful Doggo Cerberus was nowhere to be found. There were also a few other characters missing, and Meg was getting “Promoted” by Big Hades himself. I get the feeling I’ll find out why on my next playthrough! 😛
I’ve been getting through a lot of footage! There are a couple short gameplay videos in the pipeline, and I’ve been recording all of my private gameplay sessions on the off chance I find any strange glitches, or if anything else note happens to take place. I’m thinking of going through some more modern-ish footage tomorrow; either some recent Klonoa footage, or some O.G Borderlands in 4K depending on the mood. I’m not sure if there’s anything salvageable from my Klonoa gameplay, but I’m sure the Borderlands might have something in store!
Whisker Squadron Survivor finally released today! They made the rides longer, and they definitely made the game even harder since the demo. It did take my stats from my demo playthrough and added them onto my character as an added bonus. I haven’t made it to the end of the newer runs yet, but I am looking forward to practicing in my spare time. 🙂 Maybe even live if I’m up to it!
I picked it up in small rail shooter pack that included it and another game called Ex-Zodiac, I’ve only finished the first level so far, but I like it! It brought back memories of playing Star Fox while visiting at some relatives as a kid. I never had a SNES so I couldn’t get into the series – at least we have some indies that can help scratch that itch! If Nintendo doesn’t want my money I’ll give it to the indies, plain and simple. This and Whisker Squadron Survivor were great to play when I needed to take a break from dying constantly in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!
I didn’t get very far, but I did level up my character, obtained a few permanent health items and even got a couple achievements to add to the collection. Apart from that though I need to git gud at slaying Zangetsu again, and this guy…
The Carpenter clearly is some kind of demon based on his beautiful purple blood. So far my many attempts have yet to stagger him in battle, which tells me it’s time to take a break. Between last night and today I got a little over 1% more completed, and I’m sure I’ll return this again soon – at least within a years time! 😛
Hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since I’ve last set foot in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, but I made progress! I even found the Oriental Secret Lab just before calling it quits. What little I’ve seen has been beautiful so far, much like the rest of the game. I might even play a bit more on Steam Deck before bed, if only to see a bit more of the lab!
Taking the night off from posting. Need rest, can’t brain and all that jazz.

Had fun with infinite dying in BPM: Bullets Per Minute! It becomes more and more interesting each time you come back to life. I lol’d when I found Space Asgard. It was a great way to blast out a day’s worth of stress and hypertension… I’m glad tomorrow’s my Friday.
Rendered a video for next week, helped a friend’s friend select parts for a new PC build and did a few Yakuza things while sipping on some sencha and vaping a watermelon after a long day of dealing with asshats. There wasn’t much questing but I did knock out a few fuckwits to get a little bit of stress out before calling it a night.
