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.
Bloodstained Sunday Open Thread
Made it to 96% completion in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! Finished some quests, a couple of Boss Battles. I might actually finish it some time this month! As usual, more pics can be found on the Mastodon!
A Waltz Through ZombieLand
Finished ZombieLand in Bloo Kid 2! Had to defeat an Altered Beast. I’ll have to go back and kick its ass again so that I can get an achievement for defeating it without taking any damage. I can see what I have to do, it’s just a matter of timing – something this game relies on. The next world is a winter wonderland, which means I’ll be taking a break from it until the winter vibes come around.
Hades’ Elysium
Made it out of Asphodel, and as far as Elysium! Who knew there were heavenly parts of Hades? Of course I was sent back after meeting a couple new buddies.
At least I finally defeated that damned bone hydra and freed Orpheus.
I also redecorated the halls and completed a few prophecies, enough that I can take a break from it for now. 🙂 It’s time to call it a night anyway, and reality demands that I rest for it.
PUBG Ain’t Got Nothin on This
Yutram and I have been trying to find new things to play together. We’ve wrapped up Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.What else is there to do? Well, we decided to check out Totally Accurate Battle Grounds; a game that totally lives up to its title, like totally. We played as a Squad! It was good for a few laughs.
I AM THE NIGHT
After spending a good part of the evening working on my next disasterpiece – I escaped into the world of Aragami for awhile and advanced the plot juuuuuuuuuuust a little. Got a couple scrolls and a talisman! Enjoying a little bit of tea and mochi before bed. It’s getting time to order some more soon, it’s a nice accompaniment to green tea! Kinda like black tea and cookies.
This was the final frame I left off in for tonight in SFM. I’m almost done animating the first scene! I’ll probably take a break from it tomorrow. No sense in rushing on this one – I already know it’s gonna take awhile. I’m thinking after work tomorrow of advancing the plot in DOOM Eternal, reeeeeaaalllly kick off the weekend. I just need to find one more Celestial Ring and then I can inch closer to finishing the base game and move onto the DLC!
Until then… it’s shut eye but for real, yo.
My Kingdom For a Good Night’s Sleep
My day got shot to hell because I didn’t get any sleep last night. I tried everything to get comfortable, but between eating something that didn’t agree with me and general discomfort I had to go to work on 0 hours of sleep. I did manage to catch a small nap when I got home at least, but I can still feel the jet lag. Hopefully tonight I have better luck, literally everything I tried last night didn’t do me any favors.
I did take a moment to check out a new level that was released for Whisker Squadron Survivor! It was an excellent flight, even won on the first try! Not the game I was planning to play, but it did provide with me the right amount of time to relax and unwind before having to try and do the bed thing again. :v
Here’s hoping for a more successful evening, and food that won’t threaten to commit crimes against my stomach while I sleep in bed. Maybe then I’ll have some energy tomorrow to NOT take a nap and actually do shit.
When Quests Do Themselves
I’ve been adventuring so much in Dust an Elysian Tail that I had all the materials to complete each Fale quest tonight in one visit! It was funny just sitting there, solving each quest with a “Here are those materials you asked for, Fale.” without having to venture off to purchase or loot my way to victory. At this point I have three sidequests and the main story to look forward to, when I get to it. 🙂
Evening of Zen: Aragami Edition
It was a bit too warm for me to work on much today, aside from work, work anyway. So I relaxed with some of my fave aesthetics; The eyecandy of Aragami while eating some Pocky and drinking some cherry blossom tea. I’ve been playing it in between Steam Deck and Desktop, and so far I’m the furthest I’ve ever been! I have a couple other pix on Masto.
