Getting deeper into Tunic. I had heard people say how crazy the puzzles get but I just had no idea. I haven't had a feeling like this in a very long time. It's really an outstanding production.

 
 

The sun has risen on this dog day. (Sideways, as usual)


 
 

Didn't sleep last night due to allergies. Was so tired during my morning dump that part way through I actually thought "oh, I'm not wearing my seat belt"

 
 

We all know Ultra Hand is a reference to an old Nintendo toy, right? I keep expecting coverage to leap at the chance to point this out and I haven't seen anyone do it.

 
 

Dipped into two games some others here have played: Cloudpunk and Crab Champions. They're both neat and flawed.

 
 
 

Butt status: officially kicked by allergies. It's been a crazy pollen year.

 
 

Doggy sunday


 
 
 

I should do my laundry.

This one was a real pain in the ass. Made it in just under the wire. But 💪 all the same


 
 

Ok, my hard fought S+ RE4R run, yet again, has been botched. This time because I didn't know the game clock keeps adding up when you "continue" a save instead of reload it form the main menu. Fucking dumb.

 
 

Been working on getting all the unlocks in RE4 remake. A lot of them require beating the game on Professional mode, which I've done once with what I have only recently discovered is a broken parry button. No wonder some parts felt BS.

 
 

Ok, RE4 first playthrough (which I did on hardcore, because the game made it sound like I should) thoughts in the comments. Spoilies obv.

 
 

Alright, not to dredge this up even more, but the idea that the RE4 review was embargoed the way it was is absurd. Review our game, but don't go into detail! As you might have noticed, it makes anything other than total praise hard to do...

 
 

Huh, this popped into my youtube front page. Pretty damn impressive.

 
 

I love XCOM style games, but they wear me out. Ok, I just got done with a tense battle. Now I have to sift through all my resources and monitor various timers and a ticking clocks. I'd probably really love these games if I was unemployed.

 
 

Got some time in with the diablo beta. It's diablo! Network is janky as shit at the moment, but native pc controller support is super welcome.

 
 

As we near the release of RE4 Remake, close to 20 years after the release of the original, I thought I'd share a fun story. The original was the first game I bought with my own money. It was actually my lunch money my dad gave me each morning.

 
 

Are any of the suicide squad properties any good? I feel like I've never heard anything good about the films or games and I'm quietly hoping that's true so it goes away and I don't need to keep hearing and reading the word "suicide" when they release.

 
 

Ok now *I* have finished the RE4 demo which means *I* get to say the loud words!

 
 

Noticed a random elon musk video on my YT sub menu from a channel with no other videos. Thought it was an ad. Was super pissed because I pay for youtube premium to avoid ads. Turns out it's a hijacked channel and this is fairly common.

 
 

I take it all back, AI is good!

 
 

Phantom Brigade tempting, just bumped into it on Steam. Xcom/Battletech but with a twist on the combat being semi-turn based, the action all resolves at once after you input your commands and you can see your enemy's actions. A bit like Frozen Synapse.

 
 

Ok, notepad, easy up. I just wanted to look at some of your settings, not get your theological perspective on nature, gosh.


 
 

Returnal iz gud

 
 

Returnal on PC next week, should hold me over until RE4 remake next month, I guess. Plus I gotta play Tunic at some point.

 
 

{Wordtoid} The word Mineral, specifically ore, is named for its location within a Mine. The second meaning of Mine as an explosive device (seen today in Land Mine, Proximity Mine, etc) comes from the use of explosives as mining tools.
