The live action hero shooter trend started with StarCraft custom maps? I along curses at Blizzard for letting gamers build their own games.

Just stay off modern Reddit. If you must go there use old.reddit and you avoid the algorithm trying to feed you what it thinks you want.

It was a week to forget. Between an 8 hour hospital visit and then struggling to work afterwards (doctors figured the work wouldn't hurt too much) I've been very tired.

I did play through cocoon, a puzzle game like inside, with an interesting jumping inside worlds to solve puzzles. Takes about 4 or 5 hours. Fun, not too hard.

I also took blue prince to about as far as I want to, (sat on the throne, and opened all the doors in the crate tunnel). I read what comes next and im good for now. Maybe in a year I'll get the itch to see it through but for now I'll let it be.

A little bit of khazan. It continues to exist. It's definitely mediocre souls like, worse than nioh and generally just fairly bland. Itemization is easier than nioh, so that's something. But enemies are neither dangerous enough nor is there enough if them to make for a challenge.

Debating returning everspace 2, which I was have more fun with.

Slay the spire 2 early access this week as well so I'll enjoy that.

Sinclair himself is said to have noted "I aimed for the heart of the American public, missed and hit them in the stomach instead."

Oh man the flourish with which she would've signed the war approval. It would've made death-to-the-poor look like first year clown.

Been playing everspace 2, it's like an arcade space sim with Diablo arpg loot system to upgrade your ship. The story is been nothing special, but it has lots of progression mechanics that make number go up feel nice as you shoot space laser at space ships.

Just been debating what game to dig into next, I have stellar blade (I have no idea if it's good or just a Gooner game), the first berserker khazan, and the trails in the sky remake (I have played the original so not really rushing into it).

I have been considering more blue prince, I'm at the stage where I need to bring three things into a throne room in a single run, so we'll see if I can build the endurance to make that happen.

Yeah we're at the point where if you aren't making 30 an hour you're probably barely getting by and almost certainly do not have any health coverage.

It's dimension 20, a live play DnD show hosted by Brennen Lee Mulligan, that season was like in a brain city or something and he got to just dump a bunch of bio science facts as part of his character. I haven't watched it because I find Hank insufferable most of the time because he's such a turbo lib.

But at what cost?

I have finished Clair obscur expedition 33, I didnt do all the act 3 things, mostly didn't do the endless tower, or finding Simon (whoever that is).

My verdict, it's a fun game, well made, but the story is classic jrpg trash. Specifically this one owes a debt to ffx. The twist specifically takes the wind out of the principle plot you're introduced to, and shifts it to something centred on family trauma (which I really do not care for). While it does make sense of a world that makes no sense, it's unsatisfying for me.

Basically, I can understand why people adore the game, but I feel about it as I do for people who exclaimed that ffx was the greatest ever, or those who exclaimed about ff7 being the greatest. They're all fairly mid and your first one will hit you hard.

Hey everyone, we all love crosscode right?

Well the developers have released about a hour from the beginning of their next game. Alabaster Dawn. It looks beautiful, plays very nice. No idea if the story will be good but I'm liking the early bit anyways. Just thought I'd share since no one has posted about it yet.
