Neon White

Of Heaven and Hell

by

It was another nice summer day that passed through. I woke up and enjoyed a Mediterranean quinoa bowl and picked up Hades for the first time in ages. I installed it onto the Steam Deck today, and as expected it runs to perfection. So far I’ve bit the dust 10 times, petted three headed doggo enough for an achievement, and cleared Tartarus… only to die and begin again once more. 😛

I did get to cycle some of the weapons. Played with the shield, a spear, played with the bow for a bit. For not having touched this one in awhile I think I did ok; I advanced the plot, made myself a bit stronger, enjoyed stabbing things, among other things.

Then later on in the day, when it started to cool I went to Heaven to get some Neon White Achievements and grab as many gifts as I could find. Did really well getting the Ace Medals, someday if I’m brave enough I’ll start going for the Dev Medals. They can only be obtained if you beat a level under a game dev’s completion time. I think I already have one that I got by accident.

Skipping Through The Spikes

For my weekend of decompression I had a nice Mediterranean omelette, blueberry tea and snacks throughout the day, and decided to return to Neon White. It’s been a few months, but I’ve moved to the third chapter, and went back and collected gifts and ace medals. Gained a couple of achievements along the way, learned a new card trick, etc.

I’ve played multiple genres over the years, but have never quite played anything like Neon White. I’m really savoring each session.

All Work and Maaaayyyybbbeeeee a Little Play…

Alas; not all the gifts I’m waiting for arrived today, but receiving some is better than none. I wrapped what I have on hand, so when the stragglers do show up I can just wrap a few things up and send it all off! Also finished up more dusting and tidying today, and even had a chance to do a little animating! I even played a little bit of Neon White!

I already have next weekend planned out: Lots of baking. I’m going to make my cranberry nut muffins for some co-worker friends of mine! I seem to need to make more each year, so I’ll be baking a lot this coming weekend! Perhaps in more ways than one. 😛

Neon White: First Impressions

by

Neon White is an epic casserole of FPS, RPG, and platforming wrapped in an anime shell. You play a man that died and went to heaven… sort of. You’re a Neon; a soul that should be sent to hell, but heaven is under attack by demons and you have to compete with other Neons in order to secure a spot in heaven for the one ass destined to sit next to Jeebus or whatever.

I’ve only completed the first mission and a couple of side quests, but I’ve been having fun with it. I’ve been going through and replaying each level over and over again in missions to try and get as many gifts and extras as possible. So far my experience has lived up to all the hype I’ve been reading about. It’s Deck Verified too!
