Been playing this turn based strategy game for a few hours and my GOD it's difficult. The RNG is brutal! Like...I'm a 5 man squad of fucking Space Marines and I feel like such a squishy wimp. Lol. The atmosphere and everything else is pretty great though!

Fyi, even if half my followers liked this post I could still keep replying 😅

Finished a short (3h) intense as hell horror game called Doctor Viscera. You have 5 days (1 death = 1 day) to find items through an asylum to access areas, solve environmental puzzles and build things to help you escape. There are multiple endings but I don't think my nerves can handle another run 😅

Been playing Necromunda: Hired Gun. I don't think this was received that positively, but I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far. It's a fast, doom-like FPS with a lot of movement and verticality and it's all in a really distinct looking cyberpunk world. It definitely sits in that AA space though.

Soz m8, I don't walk.

I don't really like my butt all that much and it's harder to take even remotely decent pics of it even if I did. I'll probably post more of it at some point but it'll be intermittent at best.

I think this Saturday calls for a low light, grainy, terrible quality dick jiggle.

Finished a short first person platformer called Downward and I thought it was excellent. It's a fantastical Mirrors Edge with a tiny bit of Metroidvania sprinkled in (new abilities allow you to traverse more of an area) Traversal is super fun. And it looks nice and runs GREAT on the Steam Deck.

Finished a cosmic horror game called Moons of Madness...and it was just ok. It clearly had a lot of love poured into its art and environments, even the voice acting was pretty good...but the writing lets it down. The story just isn't good enough or intriguing enough. And it also isn't scary.

Mondo's second TMNT release is gonna be Leo...and he looks every bit as awesome as Don! Sadly I just can't justify the cost for a 10" figure.

Gotta get in on the current meme trends...

The Crimson Desert reviews are crazy. Some are saying it's unlike anything you'll ever play and will be difficult for any open world RPG to beat. But they go all the way down to people saying it does nothing new, and the story, characters, voice acting, missions are all really crap. Like...what?

I rented Space Marine when it came out and bounced off it pretty hard for some reason. I think Gears of War kinda burned me out of this style of game back then. But I gave it a second chance on the Deck and I really enjoyed it. It's brutal gory fun. I just wish the lore was a bit more accessible.

And the nut from yesterday that I forgot to post yesterday... 😁

Finally grabbed what seems to be a rare Nintendo bomber. Either the switch 2 version ate the bulk of the sales or this just sold badly in general. Either way it's a cheap Nintendo game. Win for me!

This is fucking gross. We're just gonna be playing AI generated images now I guess.

The video from yesterday...that I forgot to post yesterday.

Finished a game called Fall of Porcupine. It's a VERY slow burn story focusing on the over stretched healthcare system and the day to day life between working on the wards. It has a really nice art style and is a cosy character driven story that I enjoyed. But it takes a long time to get going.

My dick do be dickin'

Grabbed another one of these tiny Sheik Mainland model kits, this time in clear plastic. My little trio of cyborg ninjas! Im hoping they release one that's a bit bigger at some point so I can paint one like Grey Fox and put decals on it.

Why do I play obscure Ukrainian games like Collapse? Because of peak cinema like this!

Finished Under the Waves. A game that tackles grief with some nice atmospheric ocean exploration. Nothing particularly challenging. More of a W̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ Swimming Simulator game than anything. It was good though and had a nice style to it. About 8 hours long.

Finished UFO Robot Grendizer. While it's a simple game with not a lot of variety both in objectives and enemies. There was something weirdly enjoyable about it. Reminds me a lot of the PS2 Transformers game. Just a bit of zany mindless fun. Not very well optimised though. So only 30fps on the Deck.

If you see this - post an eye 👁️

Developer of delivery truck/management game Honcho adds an option to play as a sentient block of male tofu after complaints about a woman protagonist. GOTY confirmed.

Soul Reaver 2 finished. Story is better than the first. Puzzles are better than the first. Graphics are obviously better, but everything else is substantially worse. No real exploration. You run back and forth down the same path about 6 times. That's it. No secret areas, No side objectives.

Does EA know Blue Brixx are selling an SSV Normandy SR-1 kit? Sorry... I mean "Stealth Reconnaissance One" kit 😅

I never feel like I'm consistent with this type of list outside of maybe the top 4...the rest are mostly just great games I happen to remember first.

Low effort FCF

Started Soul Reaver 2 remaster. And aside from character models this one seems to have seen very little in the way of upgrades. A bit disappointing. I hear this one uses a lot of AI upscaling compared to the hand made recreated textures of the first game's remaster though. So that might explain it.

Finished the first Soul Reaver remaster. I loved this game when it came out on the PS1, but I gotta say it hasn't aged all that well. It's still a great world to explore but the platforming and combat are both kinda...bleh. The visual updates are well done though. And it runs perfectly on the Deck.

Seeing a lot of people on Instagram thinking Jim Carrey has been cloned 😂

I just started the Soul Reaver remaster...and I keep finding myself switching back to the OG visuals because I don't like how derpy the enemies look in the new version. A lot was left to the imagination before and now those blanks have been filled in with textures and details that just seem worse.

Finished a pretty crappy Cosmic Horror Indie game called "The Land of Pain" Every point of interest in this game is about 7 miles apart so you just end up sprinting...EVERYWHERE. which ultimately destroys any sense of tension or fear the game might have had. Looks ok though thanks to Cryengine.

I'm not saying the Iran bombing has been done specifically to distract you from the Epstein Files...but...you know...maybe try not to get too distracted by it.

Name a movie starting with the letter "B" #moviesky #filmsky

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Finished 1000XRESIST. I'd be hard pressed to call it a game tb, you effectively just move between conversations...but man...those conversations are *chefs kiss* If you even remotely enjoy well written, well voice acted sci-fi stories you owe it to yourself to play this. It's excellent!

If we need a new live action Cruella de Vil I nominate Ozempic Kelly Osbourne.

2nd Philharmonic Night Out in a month! 🎵🎻 🇫🇷 📖 Programme “Vive La Musique”; • Berlioz: Le Carnival Romain; Overture • Delibes: Sylvia; Ballet Suite • Ravel: Bolero • Saint-Saens: Symphony No.3 ‘Organ’ 🎻 HPO (Hull Philharmonic Orchestra) [Ensemble] 🪄 Simon Chalk [Conductor] 🎹 Robert Poyser [Organ]

I wish you could make your likes (and a separate liked media tab) public. It would make finding new people to follow a lot easier.

Well...I wasn't expecting the villain to actually be FROM Software all along. 😅

Some fan art for a game i'm looking forward to called Bradley the Badger. Looks super fun!

Another throwback for Thursday.

Awww hell naw!

Unless AI dies some time soon I'm not seeing this RAM issue going away. Manufacturers are saying it'll be an issue way last 2028. But I don't see this being a "oh...I guess i'll just have to pay extra" situation. I can imagine this being more of a "well fuck that, I ain't buying *device name*"

Can't comment on how long these will last. But for 12 quid the sound is surprisingly decent. It has ANC and a Transparency Mode...all in a diecast metal case. And while the brand is technically Zombies Cat, I like to think it's actually Zombie Scat 💩😂
