I’m making my way through Control Resonant, and so far The Sinkhole is definitely my favorite quest. Hoooo boy.

It has to be a recession indicator that all the ads I get on TikTok lately are for selling gold for cash o_o

100% agreed! It’s why retro games can still look crisp and amazing :D

Nice! I really enjoyed that one. Though I did just set it to easy mode from the jump 😅 I might also replay that one at some point to see some of the other endings.

On the other hand, Resident Evil 4 Remake. It sounds like it’s a bit more action focused, which could also just have a higher baseline fun factor.

I’m considering setting it to easy mode so I have a chance of experiencing the story. That might be worth it.

I already started Silent Hill 2 Renake earlier this year, but I’m simply not enjoying all the stress and tension only coming from the fact that there is never enough healing items to get me to full health.

Once I finish Control Resonant, I need to make a choice for my horror game for this month: Silent Hill 2 Remake or Resident Evil 4 Remake

There's always inspiration to find in non-AI sources if you actually want to try. Thousands of kids have picked up an instrument and just TRIED, and gotten somewhere with it. But it requires you to actually want to TRY and to LEARN. autochords.com

I just took down the West Incursion Zone Resonant in Control Resonant, and holy crap they cooked on that boss. Helluva design 🤘

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never heard of "Bright Lights - Dead City" or Furillo, it may say more about the listener than the song. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world.

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah. Someone posted about how the algorithms keep us from hearing that, and that sounds about right. If I ever try something new on Spotify, it’s something the service thinks I’ll like based on what I listen to. Country’s so far down on that list, it might as well not be there at all 😂
000
Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This is the first I'm hearing of the song 😂 I feel bad about any country music artists that are earnestly anti-conservative and struggling to find their audience. But let's be real: unless it's vocally left, it's hard right. No reason to engage with it.

Just went and had a chat with my tattoo artist about my next tattoo, and it was awesome! She likes all the same nerdy stuff I do, which feels amazing. She gets as excited as I do about the designs, snd finds ways to elevate them 💜

If nothing else, it's good to feel like my creative juices are coming back. I might also upload the pitches that didn't make it into an official video to my own TikTok at some point. Just to share them :D
000
Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Even if the ideas I pitch don't necessarily all make it in, you never know when an idea that isn't fully baked leads to one of the awesome people on our video & socials team getting a better idea :D

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I don't mind when my ideas don't make it, it's all part of the collaborative & creative process. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool if I put together something that could make it into a video, but I'm also just enjoying the creative process and getting that urge to play back.

I'm slowly starting to noodle around on my guitar again. Just pitched a little somewhat ambient chord progression for a video for Mortal Shell II! I've tried one other pitch that had a bit of guitar noodling in it that didn't get in.

Woof, I hope you get to have full night’s sleeps soon! My kid went to bed late last night (slept around 20:45) and woke up the first time at 4:45, and I feel terrible 😂 I can’t imagine how bad you feel!

I’ve been on the black Steelseries with gamer lights on for the past many years. Maybe it’s time for me to look into something more visually appealing too :D

I don’t know how many chances a person deserves though. So many excuses. “Oh I don’t know my work schedule, but I’ll tell you next week” (which never happens). She’d have been kinder to just not answer the phone, leave the messages on read. Better than to string us along.

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I could forget hurting me. I’ve had plenty of bad friends, what’s one more? But my son? He still hopes she’ll knock on our door and hang out one day. But truth be told, we’ve seen her once or twice in the past few years. And I guess we’ve seen the last of her.
100
Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
The worst part is, she’s known my son since he was born. She’s been one of his friends. And he (being an innocent, loving kid) misses her. I do too, but I’ve kept up these appearances in the vain hope that she would reach out, to be someone to and with us again.

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
It’s been dead a while, if im honest with myself. Some part of this is probably down to the fact that she started dating a CHUD who likes Andrew Tate. Some of it is a pattern she has of moving through friendship circles and leaving people behind.

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I’m about to let a five year snap streak die, because this supposed friend of mine just keeps stringing me and my son along for when she can hang out. I’ve resisted breaking this streak for some time, because it felt like giving it up would be to acknowledge the death of the friendship.

Today it's 10 years since I went on a trip for IGN Denmark / Nordics to Seattle, to meet with Bungie and try out the Rise of Iron for the OG Destiny! It was an awesome trip, even if going to Seattle and back again in 72 hours messed me up bad, jetlag-wise :D

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Real talk: Don't know who needs to hear this but there's absolutely nothing wrong about being enthusiastic about your interests/hobbies. Life's too short to not talk about things you enjoy in earnest. The world's too cruel for u to hold back the joy you could be putting into it.

I'm still very much enjoying noodling around with my Rewindpix camera, but I need to go some new places to take pictures :D

Yeah, it's a bunch of good eggs! A nice mix of people who've been around since the OG came out, and people who are a bit newer. "Git gud" is a much smaller part of the community than you might expect from a soulslike game!

Also, my reddit notifications are more or less useless atm though, lol. Though at least I don't wake up to that 100 notifications that the app maxes out at unless there's patch notes out these days :D

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
It is actually overwhelmingly civil! The same has gone for the Discord community as well, which just hit 50k members the other day. I couldn't do it without our excellent volunteer mods + my colleagues though!

Oh man getting those patch notes before they were live was so exciting! I only got them very, very shortly before the patch went live, but I was astounded at how much stuff the team crammed into that patch!

Macabre Mikkel @barl0we.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Thank you so much for the love! The team's really been cooking. The fun part is, I'm seeing a bunch of new stuff as well in my current playthrough :D last time I finished the game was several months back in an old build. Getting pretty close to endgame, I just gotta visit my pal Sir Isaac first!

Not a direct quote, but I've caught myself thanking people for trusting the company I work for with their entertainment, and it made me think of Vox each time :D

I know :D The thought crossed my mind once when I was very unemployed, but I very quickly came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I went down that path.

I recently started playing it (never played it originally), and I'm kind of...Lukewarm on it. Immaculate vibes, but I'm just constantly stressed out because there aren't enough healing items. Every time I get a heal, some bastard pops out of another dimension to hit me for the exact amount healed.
