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.
