Decided to start a 3rd playthrough of Elden Ring even though I haven't finished my first two. Going for a fist/claw only run this time as Max Punchman, the World's Punchingest Man. Already 19 hours in and only just beat Margit.

Yeah I just learnt about the PS5 equivalent and how it does it automatically, but it turns out that it dumps the saved video once you put the console on rest mode.

Oh well, live and learn.

pacman world 2 hasn't aged the best, i honestly think the original is better at what it does. the camera in 2 is a nightmare, getting caught on things, being inflexible, and a general pain in the rear end. It sometimes goes fixed, but the fixed camera can still have a mind of its own and if you turn a certain way the camera might rotate to face backwards and you can't just manually reset it

it kind of feels like a game that started on the ps1 and moved to ps2 mid-development because the level design is kind of cramped and really simplistic in the way that i expect out of a ps1 3d platformer

i'll be interested in trying PMW3 because it's apparently v divisive for putting in more action elements and larger levels and being less of a 'true' PMW game but honestly those elements to me seem like they might be a necessary infusion

obv PC is where I have the most retro titles and part of that comes from the fact that GOG exists. but also I was lucky to at one point buy NOLF on CD-ROM, and I still have a box for Myst 4 that i got at a pawn shop?? i think I even have an Anachronox CD too even though I own it on Steam. but ps2 i spent a long time collecting stuff for in the late 2010s, and i'm glad I did at the time because now ps2 games cost quite a bit more than they used to except for more common games. JRPGs though? forget about it

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Today I beat En Garde! Charming little game with a pleasing art style and some fast swashbuckling swordplay. It's quite short, only taking me about 3 hours to play through the entire campaign on Medium, but there is also an Arena Mode and some additional challenges. Fun way to kill an afternoon.

So far in 2023 I have completed:

Citizen Sleeper
Vampire Survivors
Batora: Lost Haven
Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider
Hi-Fi Rush
Wanted: Dead
Chop Goblins
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores (DLC)
Valkyrie Elysium
Age of Wonders 4
Diablo IV
Final Fantasy XVI
Octopath Traveler II
Baldur's Gate 3
En Garde!

Up Next:Probably just another Baldur's Gate 3 run!

Can anyone think of any (good) games where addiction or alcoholism is a primary or prevalent theme in the narrative? I was talking to my friend about that, and the only one that immediately came to mind was LISA.

Condemned 2 has a bizarre theme/subplot about you being an alcoholic that ends with you literally punching the demon personification of your alcoholism to death which like... cures it I guess?

beat links awakening switch

what a legendary game. glad i finally got to play it and this version ruled. looking up the QoL changes for the switch i am really glad i played this version.

been reading interpretations of the ending. so wonderfully melancholy. i am going with the idea that all of Koholint vanished when the wind fish up. the seagull at the end wasnt Marin reincarnated but Link fondly remembering her when he saw the gull.


good games

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I'm playing through the Star Trek Resurgence game with my wife and it's really fun to play it that way. Although right now it's very funny-- you have two characters you control, and one is tasked with galactic ethical intruige while the other one is like, should I gently caress this girl??

Disco Elysium's protagonist struggles with this and you can handle that in different ways, although the games main themes are more political and philosophical but your means of interacting come through an avatar with a bad relationship with alcohol.
