Back with a new article, just in time before spooky month! This time, I decided to try and wrangle my complicated feelings about Skyrim. Including it's terrible puzzles, relaxed take on skills, and most importantly: the fact that your horse can climb a mountain. open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Finished watching Orb on the treadmill today, just what I needed, now feeling extremely hope-pilled

Finished Silksong, and I loved it! Witch crest ended up being my favorite, especially good once you get the Claw Mirrors. Didn't really have any bosses give me too much trouble, which was a pleasant surprise considering some of the posts I saw. Coral Tower was the closest I got to being tilted lmao

Hornet, you are so real for this

god, the clockwork core music is sooooo good

Nice to wake up to some good news for once :)

Wee bit muggy today 💦

I'm full of more whimsy than you can fathom. Joy that congeals on my bones like grave wax. My heartfelt laugh fills the air with the scent of wet concrete and memories of Summers past.

Got my big, beautiful wife in only 20 pulls, truly a blessed day 🙌

Costco hot and a coke cures all that ails the weary soul

My permanent stance on all forms of generative AI

A very successful day on Uma 😌

The creature is at rest

Couldn't decide on any one thing to focus on about Nightreign, so I decided to just write a review! It's a very strange game, and hard to figure out who exactly it's for. Still, it's worth pondering if you can make a good RPG spin-off that isn't an RPG. open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Never whaled in a gacha game and never will... which is why I'm saving 90% of my carats until Hishi Akebono is finally available.

Birthday present to myself finally arrived :)

Coolest thing I've ever done in Elden Ring pvp and it was a total fluke lmao

Ey, not too shabby, only took four ten pulls. #umamusume

Once more 'round the sun...

You don't need to ever spend money if you got the luck baby 😎

Finished doing all the remembrance quests and achievements for Elder Ring: Nightreign! Had a lot of fun with it, but still think it's something I'll only pick up again whenever a new event boss or DLC releases. Revenant is my favorite character! 💀

Revel in the joy and hope you feel now, and expel those who would attempt to putrefy your heart with nihilistic sentiments of "This is just..." and "It's only..." as you express your relief that a better world is indeed possible. They are not your allies, and seek only to deaden you to warmth.

A tremendous loneliness comes over you. Everybody in the world is doing something without you.

My precious creature has arrived ❤️‍🔥

Snuck into the VIP section of Costco, they've got shit you've never seen before

Uesama, a hyperrealistic head on legs, promotes Sof’ ice cream.

Got one of my favorite fellas in wonder trade 🎆 #PokemonTCGP

Finally splurged a little, and walked away very happy :) (Every if I ended up having to get Acerola with pack points lol) #PokemonTCGP

Thinking about Elder Scrolls armor again... open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Finally back with another article! This time I talk about coming back to Cyberpunk 2077 five years after being one of the players that (unfortunately) experienced the game at launch. It was a pleasant surprise, but not all is forgiven... open.substack.com/pub/horthall... #cyberpunk2077 #gaming

"Fun time with friends to ignore the horrors" type outfit

INLAND EMPIRE - Imagine it. An explosion. Of *stars*. Goodbye world of men, money and machines.

Literally the second pack I opened lmao #PokemonTCGPocket

Just "beat" Blue Prince. Man... what a game.

post ur comfort album

Down another 12 pounds 😌

Current mood: "Ah, the fleshy architеct! Bold in design but fucking out of its mind. With self-indulgencе and a self-worship. Birthing in stifling numbers as the planet worsens. We cannot care. We never cared. We wouldn't dare."

Finally! My boy! #pokemontcgp

Haven't posted about my own personal gaming pursuits lately, but I finished two games recently! Lords of the Fallen (the new one) and Cyberpunk 2077! Had a lot of fun with both, and was glad to finally check out the Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk. #Cyberpunk2077

It's not an April Fools joke, I have written another article! This time about side quests, and the other ways RPGs keep us occupied and engaged outside of the main storyline, sometimes to the point we never finish it! *cough* Skyrim *cough* open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Reminiscing about the time I spent over a week farming Brainsuckers for perfect radial Arcane blood gems in #Bloodborne Shoutout to the Chalice dungeon 8y2wes5u, couldn't have done it without you🙏

Two yellow fellas in my first ten pull 💛 #PokemonTCGPocket

Really enjoying my return to Cyberpunk 2077 youtu.be/mscm9QqqP44?...

[Level 10 Cursed Item] Recommend Action: Immediate destruction in safest manner.

Back with another article! This time about the different ways RPGs get us to play them again as soon as we're finished. New Game Plus? Making a new character? And, more importantly, what makes us drop them as soon as the credits roll. #gaming open.substack.com/pub/horthall...

Hachi machi... #pokemontcgp

Uh, let's go??? #pokemontcgp
