Only had time to do some hunting during my one hour session. This game has serious Skyrim levels of wanting to suck time out of me! It’s beautiful.
Late Evening Open Thread
Just chillin’ tonight… literally. So far, it has been (once again) the coldest winter I’ve ever had here on the coast. I woke up to ice this morning, and tomorrow is looking to be about the same. The sun has been coming out, but as nice and bright as it is I wouldn’t mind a small enough amount of heat to go with it. It feels like I mostly live in sweaters these days…
Didn’t have time to play anything today, but I did get a little animation done, and even caught up with a friend I haven’t talked to in awhile. All in all a fulfilling day. Now it’s time to charge myself along with my other devices.
Open Thread!
My Mic Stand For a Demon
Happy Valentines Day! I don’t have anyone to really celebrate it with, but a friend and I did a surprise gift exchange. I upgraded my mic stand over the weekend, and offered him my old one.
It isn’t even that old either! I just needed something tall that can sit on the ground, giving me more room on my desk for other things. It just needed a small bit of cleanup and it was ret-2-go. I brought it to work today and he surprised me with my own pet pinky demon!
Haven’t decided what to name it yet… Pinky seems too obvious.
It was definitely a kind gesture… I’ll have to get him back when his birthday rolls around, just a couple months away. That’ll give me time to fabricate my plans for a proper giftvengeance. 😛
Fair Trade Coffee For The Apocalypse
Damn, that must be some good coffee.
Defeated the Hypno Baron and the “Horror” he summoned. This game is a pretty good laugh, and it gets good battery mileage on my Steam Deck. I might actually finish this some time soon-ish! I’m trying to get all the level items first.
Sunday Sidescroll Blurb
Made some progress in Shantae: Half Genie Hero on Steam Deck! Next Stop: The Hypno Baron’s Castle!
Expanding My Game Horizons
Just started Horizon: Zero Dawn! It makes me think of the newer Tomb Raider reboots, but with a unique story of its own. Really digging it so far. Looks excellent in 4K!
It’s Official: I’m Probably Gonna Buy It
Unlocked everything in the Whisker Squadron Survivor Demo! I think that means I have to buy it when it launches.
Whatever Floats Your Boat
The final frame for the evening from my ongoing animation project! Currently in month two of putting it all together, and still a ways to go before I can stick a fork in it and declare the beast done. Makes for some strange photography in the meantime.
Starfox But With Cats and More Lasers
Found Whisker Squadron Survivor during my hunt for Next Fest demos, and I think I found a winner! It’s basically Star Fox but with cats and a roguelike leveling system.
I played it in between my desktop and my deck perfectly fine. It supports higher refresh rates, the music slaps, and even for being a demo it looks really well polished. I’m looking forward to the full version!
This Demo Is Batty!
Been playing more of the Grim Guardians: Demon Purge Demo, it’s a fun challenge! So far I’ve managed to unlock a new technique that combines both characters, also I defeated the BAT BOSS. This really does a good job nailing the Castlevania aesthetic.
If you like Metroidvanias I recommend giving it a try!
