While my RGB furnace was cranking out sweet animated nightmare fuel, I was chilling with a bit of Freedom Planet 2 on my Steam Deck! Carol was lagging behind my other character saves, so I gave her a little boost tonight. I didn’t notice the Photo Mode option the last time I played, kinda different for a 2D sidescroller but eh… I’ll allow it! 😛 I think I’m having more fun playing as Carol than in the previous game, her disc throwing ability allows her to gain distance similar to Lilac’s dragon boost technique. I still prefer playing Lilac, but the other characters also offer a fun challenge.
Rockin’ My Friday
Survived Black Friday like a champ – didn’t buy anything either. I did my work, and then got the fuck home, made an after work breakfast and put work into one of my SFM projects. I’m pretty much done animating the audio I extracted; now I just need to come up with an ending to tie it all together, and I think I know what to do. I just need to write it out when I’m not as sleep deprived. For the time being these ideas can spin around in my head like a blender of untamed game theory. I’m thinking this will be ready for early January! Start off the new year with some gameplay and animated shenanigans!
Been pretty much coasting on black tea until now. I’m hoping the chamomile and sleep medicine catch up with me soon. It doesn’t take much caffeine to keep me going for what feels like days. All the more reason why I prefer tea 99% of the time.
Thanksgiving Open Thread
Happy Thanksgiving! (If you celebrate) We celebrated our Turkey day a few days early since it’s impossible for us to have it today. I worked, munched leftovers, and am awaiting a turkey coma so that I can rest for my graveyard shift. At least I’ll be able to avoid half of the Black Friday chaos, and I’ll have a lot of free time at the end of my shift (and probably a nap somewhere in there).
Yesterday’s Adventure, Tonight’s Post
Made it to 80% yesterday! Rescued a friend, found another chest and collected some more keys. I would have played a little more tonight, but it’s been one of those days where I find myself busy from before dawn to after moonrise. I’ll make up for it tomorrow by making time to play something completely different.
That Time We Played Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
How is Fortnite even still around when this gem exists?
Controlled My Weekend Til The End
Did a little more exploring in Control. Mostly collecting documents and winning battles. It was a nice getaway after spending the evening working on some animating. I’ve been bouncing in between two projects, and so far they seem to be tied for the lead. Tonight I worked on a lovely campfire scene, and tomorrow I’ll probably work on a comfy couch one. It’s been a nice couple days of R&R, and I know this week is gonna eat it up like a Thanksgiving Turkey.
In Control Of My Own Sunday
It’s been awhile since I last touched Control – long enough that I decided to start over again from the beginning. It gives me an excuse to make a proper config for my gaming keyboard, and to appreciate the 4K experience!
I even decided to follow instructions on the PCGamingWiki to get the Playstation DLC via a hex editor. The instructions were pretty straight forward. I might check out some of the retexture mods at the Modders Nexus next time I decide to play. It could help add a little flair to my Photo Mode barrage. 😛
I re-obtained the Floppy of Telekinesis before calling it a night. I think I’m fully refreshed on how to play again, and I even left notes for my future self to make sure I don’t get lost a second time. It’s one of the unfortunate side effects of traveling in between game universes, sometimes you forget a few things.
Saturday Night Open Thread
I reached my weekend!… and I feel dead as fuck. Went to work not feeling well today, then an orange cat came and convinced me to take a nap. I just woke up not that long ago, but I’ll probably head back to sleep after I brew some chamomile. Maybe I’ll feel less pain after some more rest. Chuckie is already convincing me to go back to bed with his purring.
Open Thread!
Seeing Stars
Twas feeling a bit on the retro side tonight. I played some old school DOOM… in DOOM 3. Made it to E1M1 to E1M9 in a little under an hour. :v . The original plan was for me to finish up in DOOM Eternal tonight, but my eyes were faaaaar too tired when gaming time rolled around. Nice to take a little trip down Nostalgia Ave.
