One Week Later Into Next Month With One Extra Hour

by

Sorry for falling off of the earth again… Work kept me jumping most of last week between home and work work. I never even got a chance to send the damned packages off…. I wish I lived near a post office that didn’t close at 4:30pm. Will have to try it again tomorrow or the next day. Halloween was probably the busiest day, but I rocked my teeth again with style.

I was pretty tired by the end of the day, and I had to sacrifice my plans to do a Halloween livestream due to taking an earlier shift the next day. But I made up for that last night by finally streaming a fixed Bayonetta:

This easily has to be one of the craziest games I’ve ever played, and it’s so fun and bizarre. Seems to be a reoccurring style Platinum Games is known for when comparing to other titles, they’re not afraid to go over the top. I kinda want to go through all of the ones in my collection and just do comparisons between each in terms if similarities. They all have their differences, but in game mechanics and other nuanced details make their games feel almost interconnected in a way. It would be weird to get each platinum character together for a super fight, but you can somewhat do that already if you mod Smash Bros.

I also did a little sewing today. I had to fix up a couple sweaters that were losing their stitching in certain areas, then I did a little repair job on one of the many shirts I customized years ago. In the center of this V Neck used to be a clear crystal gem that broke recently from old age. I decided to replace it with one of the spare seashells from my craft collection. I really need to go through my wardrobe again and see if there’s anything that I can redecorate, been awhile since I’ve done that. It used to be one of the many things I had fun doing before entering adulthood, heh. Now that they’ve lax’d our dress code again I might have to let my creativity flow a little more.

I thought I’d also check out Far Cry 5. I plan to save that for another post, but suffice to say I’m quite happy with it despite having to make a uplay account… Runs quite nicely, got a good framerate the entire time on Ultra. Now I can relive parts of my vacation in Montana!

I managed to compile an ending for one of the upcoming videos next month. I have one more short animation and then I’ll be able to complete another video to add to my list of releases. I still plan on releasing a Bomberman video at the end of the month; The second part will be released on the first week of December and then this episode will follow shortly after. I originally wanted to complete all four videos before releasing the first one, but figured the way that I’m ending it works. I might even have another video to go by then to follow it, so who knows?

Anyways… Open Thread!

I was AMID EVIL this evening

This wasn’t one of my best streams. AMID EVIL runs nicely, but I can’t seem to both record and stream it at the same time. So in the future I’ll have to remember to use the laptop as a streaming medium while recording locally. But regardless I did have a smooth stream (although playback looks a bit grainier than I’d like it to be, probably a CPU setting under OBS). I’ve been playing a bit of this over the weekend and I really like it! People were always trying to copy DOOM and Quake but never really paid as much attention to games like Heretic which were essentially the same thing but one uses magical weapons and the other guns. Playing it gave me old school vibes that you would get from playing Quake, Unreal or Heretic/Hexen.

It seems like the further I go in the trippier it gets; I enjoy every moment of it.

Returning to NieR Automata

by

After yesterdays unhealthy gaming pattern I broke out and did something completely different; I returned to NieR Automata and hack, slashed and hacked my way through enemies and completed quests. I’m still playing from 9S’s perspective, learning the backgrounds behind these machines and why they’re the way they are. This game is still mindblowing to me, with the graphics, the music, story and gameplay… appealing to all the senses. Plus I have to admit I enjoy Yoko Taro’s sense of humor, hands down one of my favorite parts will forever be this games’ version of Romeo and Juliet:

At some point I’d also like to get my hands on the original NieR and maybe even Drakenguard… From what I’ve read you don’t need to play the older games in order to understand Automata, but if they are anything like this I’d like to give them a go. :happy:
