Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
It was a good day all around. I woke up and made a nice sushi breakfast bowl, and in the afternoon Yutram and I met up to continue our digital adventures in The Wonderlands! I’m thinking we’re getting close to the end. We took a break from the main quest line to gather shrine pieces and tie up other side quests that we haven’t finished.
I’m thinking next playsession we might finally finish the game! Unless there is a plot twist lying around somewhere…
Some purdee screenshots from tonight’s demonic stroll in Shadow Warrior 2! Haven’t played since the beginning of June, so I figured why not pay this beautiful hellscape a little visit before I call it a night? I finished my bounty, and knocked off a couple trials before calling it quits. If you want to see a couple other shots I have them up on Mastodon.
Cleansed all the shrines, chilled with my ever growing Rot Fam, and snapped some pix. Time to kick-off the weekend.
Decided to do something SLIGHTLY more modern tonight… and there was no skimping on alllll the stabbin’! I finished a couple of missions, earned a new weapon and some in game reading material for later. There was also an achievement for helping 100 demons do some acid… damage. Also, since I’m an awesome ninja I also snapped some pics in Photo Mode.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for Photo Mode. 😛
I’m thinking I might be able to wrap up animation on this in a few more weeks! Once I’m done with the SFM portion I’ll be moving onto Phase 2: Compiling the video. This might also be an opportune time for me to start looking into Blender for its compositor features. It’s become more of an all in one production tool over the last couple of years, no longer exclusive to just 3D modeling.
I got my miles out of After Effects CS6, but now that I’m more involved in 4K production it’s time to move onto newer software. I’m not going with the newer Adobe shit; Over the last few years I’ve been successful in getting rid of Adobe products from my everyday life. Photoshop has been replaced with Krita, Premiere has been replaced with Shotcut, Audition has been replaced with Audacity, and now it’s time to find a worthy After Effects replacement.
Another adventurous evening was spent in the Pixar-Perfect looking world of Kena: Bridge of Spirits! I discovered Photo Mode and it all went down hill from there.
I’ve made more rot friends, destroyed the Wood Knight, and slowly mastering archery!
I’ve mostly been playing it on Desktop. It runs ok on Steam Deck, if you don’t mind playing at 30FPS. 99% of my gameplay has been with a controller, but for some of the trials I had no problems playing keyboard and mouse.
It’s nice to have the option to choose between the two.
Had another fun session in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands! We made it to Level 11!
We reunited with Mr Torque! He plays as a Half Human Half Bard, which for him makes perfect sense. We banded together to destroy crystals with intense barding (plus a little help from magic and guns).
We had so much fun that we didn’t even realize how late it was! Time to postpone the chaos until another weekend.
BloodRayne 2 might not have a photo mode, but with Krita and a little bit of imagination I can still have fun.
