I'm not doing very well at Devil May Cry 5. I got up to Vergil but from second phase on he totally clowns me. Sometimes quick, sometimes slow, but he's so dang tough.

I found that going to true demon mode and doing that drill attack puts the hurt on him when he changes form, you can use it to interrupt his flying dash attacks

I looked it up and apparently the orange face thing is an old fairytale about a meat and potato dumpling that comes to life and escapes being eaten by some humans and some animals and keeps singing about its successful escapes until a fox compliments its singing and the dumpling, distracted by praise, gets eaten by the fox.

playing thru gamepass on xbox one x

the outer wilds: this game owned, although the "you've got to do multiple things in one run to win the game" is always awkward, especially in a game that is supposed to be like "relax, don't worry about the time limit, you're always learning". also having to sit and wait for a couple of things, bleh. should've made the meditation more malleable so you could relax for just a few minutes as well

what remains of edith finch: excellent walky game

wargroove: accidentally launched it, so i did like one mission. it seems okay, although it feels a lot more like GBA fire emblem than advance wars. like yeah the number-based combat is the same as AW, but the gameplay loop isn't

gears of war ultimate: its hard to believe this influenced so many games, a bunch of linear corridors with occasional "flank" hallways, and devoid of any color or personality. played through the first act

full metal furies: whoa this game slaps, it's way better than the dev's previous game (rogue legacy) which was garbage. also the riddles are interesting, they must've enjoyed fez a lot

we happy few: if the game wasn't so low budget and janky, the world and environmental storytelling would be better than, say, fallout 4. but the moments of exploring abandoned houses where you get a story about the people who lived there, get upended by watching an NPC run back and forth from his default position to a random corner of geometry where they get stuck then start spinning around... then they run back to their default position.... then they run towards a different corner of geometry to get stuck on. the game has customizable difficulty now, so you can turn the "survival" elements off and not have to deal with bullshit hunger/thirst mechanics

demon's tilt: alien clash style pinball with enemies and bosses on the playfield. lots of projectiles, lots of ramps, lots of targets. doesn't SEEM like this has a wizard/endgame goal, because i defeated a lion boss on the top table, and it was immediately replaced with a slightly differently colored lion. i think this is purely a score chaser

also installed for later: ashen, creature in the well, panzer dragoon orta, my friend pedro, afterparty, recore, rare replay

You don't really have to do that much in a successful loop though, lacking time is just the impression you get since the game will deliberately stress you with the endgame music and having to go through fish country. The only time-sensitive bit is that bit where you have to be at the right spot at the right time and obviously it comes early in the sequence. Even when the loop was 18 minutes you had some to spare and they threw in four more just to be sure.

You can, actually! Campfires allow you to do just that.

Oh my god my backlog is terrible too but for some reason I have started to replay my old GBA copy of Tales of Phantasia; I can't remember why I stopped playing it so long ago, my old save file said ~5 hours; maybe it's bad but I found the cartridge while going through some things and now I think I should play it ASAP and beat it before I push my luck too far and the internal battery dies and can't save my game anymore.
BUT first I need to do some more turns in my high elf campaign in Total War Warhammer 2 :negative:

I like egg nog in latte. I also used to make an egg nog whiskey drink in grad school that was pretty tasty.

Personally I don't think the campfires were that great of a solution because they still take juuuust long enough even sped up to where it still felt like your momentum was killed at the start of every loop.

That said I had no problems with the ending sequence, though I probably got a little lucky with the fish. My grievances with the game were the myriad of technical problems I encountered and the solutions to the last few major missing pieces for me being IMO not intuitive.

Real egg nog is way too rich for me and takes too much edge off the alcohol, which is presumably why you're drinking it in the first place. If I want to get wasted on the holidays I'm not afraid to hide it!

A few years ago there was a trailer for a movie from the perspective of a Roman officer assigned to investigate sightings of a local religious weirdo after he had already been executed. The Christ story as an X-Files episode might have been an interesting idea, but apparently it turned out to be run-of-the-mill christian movie trash.

I'm pretty sure I watched something similar when I was in middle school for religious studies but it was a roman officer assigned to retrieve the sacred shroud(I think?). He gets stabbed, I don't remember the details.

2) gadget has a very particular ways to do things. Not to say she's not also down for a wide spectrum, just expect it to involve her pneumatic swing set made from knex and rubber bands
