For our Anniversary @hallowfall.bsky.social bought me "Still wakes the Deep" as a horror game to play, as she loves watching me get spooked. The Characters and conversations felt so natural and the environments were so well created you could almost smell the 70s cigarette stained wallpaper.

PARTY SHOWCASE A Dm's perspective Dentz "The Guard" (@synister663.bsky.social) Half Orc Battlemaster. Dentz is the longest consistent party member, being one of the original shipwreck crew that washed ashore. Art provided by player #DnDoc #ocsky #characterdesign #DnD #TalesFromVale

PARTY SHOWCASE A Dm's perspective Lilah Hunt (@kayleeschuyler.bsky.social) Human Draconic Bloodline. Lilah is the parties only caster and tends to focus a lot on acid based attacks. She is a Noble, local to the setting and so is a good way to pass along lore. #DnDoc #ocsky #characterdesign #DnD

Welp. It's Mole removal Biopsy day.

So @k1l2l3y.bsky.social and I have a mini halloween tradition now of playing the Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival (omg please get it) and then spending the whole night being silly little guys. This year we got 11 pins!! adamgryu.itch.io/pumpkin-carver

Another year, Another Ghost town Pumpkin Festival with @hallowfall.bsky.social Did the Puzzles. Had the Spooks. Got the Pins.

I saw the man who raised me burried today. The man who taught me how to drive, mow a lawn, play pool, poker, how to fish and order at a pub,. Someone who was there for School pickups on the edge of town. Even after Mum died, he was still there. Called every Holiday and Birthday. Continued...

DnD has started again so it's time for DM recaps! We started off in the city of Dragonfall, our party had just received two quests to deal with issues in neighbouring small towns that could be accessed by River. They tried to take their wagon to the lakeside town of lake town but... #TTRPG #DnD5e

At Pax Aus with @hallowfall.bsky.social Bought some stuff. Got to meet some people and watch DnD stuff. #PaxAus

Comming up Next! Metal gear Solid Peace Walker! I never finished it back in the day, I was finishing up my studies at the time. And then never got around to the HD version on PS3. So looking forward to a New (to me) Metal gear experience!

Second Run of Mgs Delta complete All Kerotans found, All Ga-kos found, All Film reels, all Body Camos I THOUGHT i had all animals But the Rank did not unlock. Guess another play through is in the pipeline.

And finished! MGS Delta First playthrough that is! now time for the collect-a-thon and then non lethal no detection! Play throughs! @hallowfall.bsky.social thank you for putting up with me for all the metal gear shenanigans. After a couple more play throughs, see if I can't get Peacwalker going.

After the end of world war two, the world was split into two, this marked the beginning of the era called the cold war. I've lost count how many times I heard this in my teens And hearing it again as I start MGS Delta pulls me right back to a simpler and kinder time.

And MGS2 is done! The themes of information control, misinformation and AI are all on point, even 24 years later. With a couple days to spare before Metal Gear Delta Genetic or memetic, it's your legacy, you decide how it is passed on. Just leave something behind. #HallowfallMetalGear

On to MGS 2:Sons of Liberty. A suspiciously familiar engagement on Big Shell. @hallowfall.bsky.social has seen peaks of Raiden in the future and is already a fan. MGS 2 was my first ever Metal gear Game and it earned a few playthroughs in my youth. Do you know what tomorrow is?

Metal Gear Solid completed! Foxdie, Les Enfants Terribles, Decoy Octopus, Frank and Naomi Jaeger! Plot twist after twist. And it only gets weirder from here! Thank you @hallowfall.bsky.social for listening to me explain the crazy plot. Remember to find your reason to live. ❤️

Full day of Metal Gear Solid in the lead up to Delta! It has been tough adjusting to an older game, So much muscle memory to ignore. We got up to the Hind D fight. Been taking notes in Discord and highlighting things for @hallowfall.bsky.social to remember for #HallowfallMetalGear.

Metal gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX finished. Took a solid 8 and a half hours, No speedrun record thats for sure! On to Metal Gear Solid! I Wonder if Holly and Snake ever hooked up?

Working through Metal gear 2: Solid snake. Starting to see the familiar cutscenes develop as Characters begin to converse and have moments with each other. And the first proper stealth/hiding elements begin to emerge. Slowly explaining the plot to @hallowfall.bsky.social

In the Lead up to MGS Delta, I've decided to play through All the Metal gear games. It was a debate on whether to do release OR Chronological, but Ive put together 3 Arcs to play through. First up Metal Gear for the MSX A lot harder than i remember it being, but holds up well! #RetroSunday

I know I always say Dont Pre-Order, Don't fall for hype. The More you see a game before launch, the worse it is. But God DAMN i am hyped for Metal Gear Solid Delta. And after that? A full chronological order play through of the canon Metal Gear games for @hallowfall.bsky.social

#Retro Sunday! I finished off Condemned I had condemned 2 Growing up and never got a chance to play the first one. I enjoyed the more grounded story that it has compared to the second one and found the combat much simpler. Overall was a good trip down Anxiety memory lane. #Gaming

For the next Nostalgic Retro Game, Grandia II. One i never got to finish, I borrowed the CD from my Friend Sam in Highschool and managed to get it working on my laptop. I remember basically staying up all night at a sleep over at his house playing it. #RetroSundays #Gaming

Red Faction finished for #Retro Sundays. I remember it being a sweeping adventure games that take you from a nobody in the mines to space and back, but i honestly didnt remember the second half of the game at all. Fuck Defusing that Bomb though, Needed @hallowfall.bsky.social to help me. #Gaming

Today for Retro Sundays i fired up Red Faction! I managed to grab a second hand copy in my youth from EB games. I was fascinated with the destruction engine and used to just dig around the levels, knocking down ceilings and living my best mole life. #Retro #Gaming

This was a game i didnt own, but my cousins did! I remember spending school holidays at my Aunt and Uncles place playing this game for the entire time, trying to find everything For me Banjo Kazooie symbolized those simple joys that those holidays bought. Glad i got to play it again #Retro #Gaming

It's been overdue. But for Retro Sundays I played F.E.A.R, Which i remember been absolutely amazed by the AI of the Replica soldiers, and the Solid Alma Jumpscares. I found it always did a good job of placing the scares in places you WOULD see them.

I get excited about possibly getting to do more of these, I love how each one came out ✨️ #art #ych #vgencomm

Beyond good and evil was one of the first games i remember being hyped for. I played the demo for it from the Playstation magazine and remember placing a pre order at EB games. Today i finished it again, the 20th anniversary edition on Steam. Up next for Retro Sundays playthroughs is F.E.A.R

Growing up I remember first renting Grandia from Blockbuster, and then asking for it to be re rented again and again trying to get through it. At some point it was returned and then I was never able to rent it again. Tonight I finished it after 65 hours of playing the Grandia Remaster.
