What started off as a small bit of gameplay ended up turning into an achievement hunt! I scored six achievements! I just have one thing left to grab in Cape Crustacean, and then I can go after some Risky Booty the next time I decide to play.
I have a different adventure planned for tomorrow night, and it isn’t Commander Keen! 🙂
Managed to save more Stuffed Animals; this time from a pack of Baby Space Kangaroos that bounce around like they all just OD’d on Space Vegemite. It wouldn’t be so bad except each encounter with them knocks you down for a few seconds. Sadly, I had to take one of them down. Otherwise my attempts at escape would have been highly unlikely. I also managed to save Sydney (The Earth one, not Space Sydney), and Rome!
Now I just need to figure out how to traverse the Mountain Dew room without falling in, there’s always next time.
As if the Pepsi operation on Mars wasn’t bad enough – The Space Kangaroos are holding Stuffed Animals hostage on their bloody ship! The Fiends!
Also, I saved New York! But only after I blew up the earth… whoops.
Adding Kena: Bridge of Spirits to my list of new games to try, and so far I really like it! It’s like a mix of souls like, Tomb Raider and Okami to it. You play as a young Spirit Guide named Kena, and you’re on a journey seeking a mountain shrine.
You discover these creatures called Rot, dark creatures that are as powerful as they are adorable. Once you collect enough Rot you can harness their power to free trapped souls in the forest, and restore tainted areas.
I didn’t have time to get that far into it, but I’m already liking the visual style, the music, and the gameplay. So far I’m liking what I see! Going to have to look into this one again soon!
We had a 45 minute hailstorm this evening, and it gave me a good excuse to warm up the house with more Mech fighting! I have a good crew so far, and 7 Mechs to choose from. Also tested the game on Steam Deck this morning, and it runs really well! I’m really enjoying the different planets and missions.
I wanted to jump back into animating today, but I haven’t been feeling too well today. My head is in a bit of a haze, which is an improvement over being in copious amounts of pain. Kinda makes me wish I had one more day off to recover, but I should be ok enough in the morning to go. My body craves more sleep.
Put a full shift’s worth into MechWarrior 5 this weekend, and now I have my own Watermelon Squad! I’m really enjoying it so far.
Cracked open MechWarrior 5 for the first time! Pimped my ride, found some mods (Steam and Nexus). It’s already consumed three hours, that’s a good sign methinks.
Now that I’ve destroyed the livefeed to Big Ben, the Space Kangaroos won’t know what time it is… giving me vast amounts of time to plot my next move, or something.
In other news: IT’S STILL FUCKING COLD HERE. It’s really made me appreciate warm tea all the more though. I crushed demons a little in Doom Eternal before bed to warm up the place a bit, and vent a little. I got a tiny bit of animation done, but nothing worthy of screenshotting. But now I’ve taken my hibernation pills and it’s time to rest for another day of fuckery.
