I really enjoyed Blasphemous. It has some flaws but in the end I just loved the art and level designs.
Been wanting to get Another Crab’s Treasure for a while. Currently playing an older game from the same studio, Going Under, and enjoying it. It’s got some social satire of corporate culture, plus decent gameplay.
From what I’ve paid attention to:
Hollow Knight: Silksong was released, loved it
Hades II was released, first in early access then recently on all major platforms Switch too
A few interesting multi-material solutions for FFF 3d printing was announced, although looks like they’re going to be available starting next year.
I have no idea what you care about, politics did not seem great over the last year or two, so I’m sure you have heard / will hear all about it sooner or later
As long as you’re comfortable setting up the emulations, Steam Deck seems like a better choice then.
Has she tried playing on your steam deck?
I got the OLED Deck this year to replace my Switch, and the first thing I noticed was that my hands are not quite big enough. I can’t reach the Y button with my thumb quickly, and I cannot comfortably put my index and middle fingers on the bumper and trigger buttons. I ended up mapping the bumpers to the back buttons and got used to pressing trigger with my index finger, but it took a while to get over my muscle memory.
Yes it did! Quite happy with how everything went, will probably try to do the same again next year
I did a super important presentation earlier today, I feel like I understand what they felt lol
Not a boss, the bonfire crowd in Bloodborne. It was one of my first video games, I had no idea what I was doing and it took me a whole week.
Just beat Silksong for true ending yesterday. Might go back and finally get all the upgrades for 100%
Try to go left for a minute until I realise I’ll be looking at the back of the head most of the game anyway.
I’ve had pretty good experiences with https://42keebs.eu/ and https://keeb.supply/ for my two split keyboards. They both offer kits and assembly services. I especially like that acrylic covers from 42 keebs, and they hand write a greeting on the receipt, which always makes me feel quite nice, haha.
For a first build I feel like QMK firmware with Vial support really made it easy for me to configure the keys how I like. My second keyboard used ZMK, directly modifying config file is not exactly hard, just a little more daunting.
I did ask a colleague to teach me how to solder for my first keyboard, he spent 10 minutes explaining, I practiced a little, and then I soldered everything without too much issue. I enjoyed it a lot, but it’s probably not for everyone.
I also quite like https://splitkb.com/ with their super easy customizable designs, but never really went for that kind of budget. They should be within your budget though, you should check them out.
I don’t know if it’s actually related, but I’ve read that asking people to draw a clock face is a simple way to identify some brain problems
Quick screening for dementia, according to this
Edit: I guess this means most of the AI has ‘Conceptual Deficits’, pretty accurate lol
I think I’m doing the final fight of Silksong, although there are a few things I plan to go back to finish afterwards.
Just bought Hades 2 yesterday, but not sure when I’ll play it. After Silksong I’m probably going to play something less action heavy for a while.
I honestly thought she was yawning before I read the story
Thank you, that would be great!
I’ve been wanting to invite a couple people for a small board game evening, but so much has been happening at work that I just couldn’t summon up the mental energy to do it. I’ll for sure hit you up when I get around to it!
I live in Berlin, I’m on a Canadian instance by accident, we’re almost definitely sad about the same shop!
We rushed there as soon as we saw the announcement and managed to talk to the staff one last time. It was so heartbreaking to see the shop gutted, the atmosphere felt different, it was awful. I asked them what happened and they said it was a combination of a few unfortunate things.
Please share if you do! I started learning Japanese on Duolingo but I gave up when they added more and more payment tiers.
I’m mostly a lurker everywhere, in real life too… I like people but they make me nervous
That is amazing! Looks like those legs might be longer than the wings if we’re not looking at the feathers. They really have such tiny torsos compared to the rest of them. A huge part of that must be devoted to the respiratory system.
I like fish owls. I wanted the Buffy to win last year so much :) There was this photo of one with a huge fish in the beak that I loved. Looking at the skeleton now it feels like that fish was not much smaller than the owl.
Now that you mention it, I have seen something slightly similar in fish eyes, although those feel less like bone and more like cartilage.
Good point, I’d be happy with Steelrising too, Nioh I already have and couldn’t get into.
