Take It On The Run, Baby

Everything about my Three Day Weekend has been according to plan, which is impressive because I didn’t make any plans! I slept in, made some shrimp fried rice and a cucumber tomato salad for a Chinese Brunch, gave myself a bit of a spa treatment, finished up another Skyrim compilation video and finally got my inner cyber ninja on in Ghostrunner. I forgot how fun this game was, in fact…

Do you ever step away from a game for so long that you end up forgetting how to play? I had to go back to square one just to remember the controls. While I didn’t progress past where I left off – I did at least get an achievement for surviving a run without dying! So I had that much going for me at least. The last time I played this it was on my Steam Deck, which performs ok but realllly turns it into a hand warmer. I enjoyed it on a 4K screen tonight, with my only complaint being that mods don’t seem to work at all when I install them… I’ve tried a few seperate sword mods at the Nexus and I can’t get any of them to load, despite following the mod instructions to a T.

T’is a mystery that will have to go unsolved for now.

Late Night Open Thread

I hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween! It was a chill evening, kinda quiet, very rainy… I did a small marathon of Ghostrunner, and finished off the evening with some more Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night, it was a Stabby Sunday Evening to say the least with quite a few trophies! Although there was some playtime with my new smartwatch! It arrived in the mail yesterday, and after some trial and error I did finally get my smartwatch configured! I bit the bullet and bought a pinetime — I figured for $25 was safe to blow on what is essentially a wearable science experiment. I have it running the latest firmware from Infinitime (1.6.0) and it seems to be behaving. I’ll do a write up on it after getting to know it a wee bit more. I’d also looking into properly customizing it, and what hellish rituals I’ll have to go through to get it to my liking.

Evening Open Thread

Don’t have much to write… with a full day of work and plenty of to do’s I had to fulfill today there wasn’t much time for sitting down. Although, I did take a few minutes out of the evening to play a little Ghostrunner!

I plan to go into fuller detail on the game, but I want to play more before blowing my digital load of words about the epic awesomeness that is indeed Ghostrunner. I wanted to end the night with the scent of watermelon and go cybernetic parkour ninja, with a side of chamomile tea to help me get to sleep for yet another coma inducing day tomorrow.

Until then… Open Thread!
