That Kirby trailer had me smiling ear to ear. I am delighted.

For those curious, my Win-Loss ratio as the Defect after this run is 46-118. The number of wins is a bit inflated due to multiplayer runs, but it should be mostly accurate.

I've achieved my first ever Ascension 10 victory in Slay the Spire 2 today! Toasty Mittens are very powerful this patch. Also, shout out to Razor Tooth. Incredible relic.
The run history screen from Slay the Spire 2 showing the summary of a successful Ascension 10 run played as the Defect. The version number is v0.110.1A digital drawing I made of the Defect. They struck a victorious pose similar to All Might from My Hero Academia. Lines around them indicate that they are in Echo Form. A lightning orb behind them is displaying the number 7.

I greatly dislike the impact AI image generation tools have had on specifically the adult video games industry. So many new and upcoming games have zero artistic identity, because they all use this glossy AI look. Such a shame.

An in game summary of a successful ascension 9 defect run from Slay the Spire 2.A drawing of a stick figure putting their hand on the defect's shoulder. A speech bubble reads "I love you and I am proud of you." The defect says "<beep boop>." Tears are streaming down the stick figure's face.

Finally got around to finishing one of the many short stories I had begun writing and neglected to continue. I deserve a treat (dinner).

The game's difficulty progression is really well structured, but good lord ascension 9 is kicking my ass 😭

Haha, that's so quirky. Anyway, do you mind encrypting two messages for me and giving me the ciphertext of only one of them? I bet I'll neeever be able to tell which of the messages you encrypted with a non-negligible advantage if I only have access to an encryption oracle haha

After almost a decade and 1350 hours of playtime, I have now completed my third save file in The Binding of Isaac. What an excellent game. It feels very cathartic to be rewarded with an artwork where Isaac finally gets to smile. I'm happy for him. #thebindingofisaac

It also got me thinking if it would be possible to have the AT Protocol work with .onion sites and whether or not that would be a terrible idea. It's probably impossible currently, as I assume the protocol requires a clearnet domain name identifier. Could be wrong though. Haven't looked at the docs.

I recently attended a lecture on the Tor network; like how it works, it's benefits, and what onion services are. It's all really fascinating! I'm thinking of creating and self-hosting an onion service as a learning project. (Benefits include not having to pay for a domain name. Nice!)

I baked pastries today. Usually I take a commemorative picture, but this time it slipped my mind. They were too tasty and gone in an instant. I can't even be upset.

@acerola.gg made a fantastic video about these exploitative gameplay mechanics and how they came to be. It is very informative and entertaining. Do watch it if you are at all interested in the state of gaming. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5LNz...

Steam achievements have been added to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, almost 29 years after it released on the platform. I'm unsure I want to collect them, as replaying the game seems like a pain, but maybe some of you will be like "Torture again? My favorite!"

Granted, you get lots of ingame currency by playing the game, but not enough to guarantee a 3-star of your choice every banner rotation, which means it's best to skip every other banner rotation and save up currency, but that means waiting 6-18 months until those characters show up again. Diabolical

Bem @bem.neocities.org · 29/07/2025
About a month ago, I commited the ultimate sin and downloaded my first gacha game, Blue Archive. And man, the character aquisition system is the most exploitative game element I've ever seen. To guarantee a 3-star character, you need around 278€ worth of ingame currency. That's ludicrous.

Great read! It's frightening what kind of immense influence these mega corporations wield. If they have the power to erase an entire genre of content like this, they desperately need more market competition. But if a lobby was responsible for this, public backlash might fix it.

To me, having the score start at 100 and decrease feels more demoralizing than having it start at 0 and increase.

It counting up or down is like the difference between "How well did I do?" vs "How many mistakes did I make?" I'd prefer it counting up, but maybe this is just a variation of "Is the glass half full or half empty?"

Just had a joke pop into my head: "Top one times I've shat myself. Number one: Right now." Pretty funny, but still unrefined. Thoughts on how to improve it?

Finished building the Nanoblock pirate ship I was gifted for my birthday some days ago. Took longer than expected. The tiny brick sizes tested my patience quite a bit, as I am more used to the size of Legos. Still, I enjoyed the process and will be displaying it proudly.

I may buy one, but I'll decide once more first-party games have been released. There's no need to rush a purchase when Mario Kart is the only exclusive game on the system right now (It does look fun though)

This semester I had a course on web design and now I feel the need to rebuild my neocity from the ground up. We're talking complete structural overhaul. I'll add it to my summer to-do list.

Just replayed the Journey Mode of Tetris Effect after not having played Tetris for easily over a year. Pure bliss. The moment I reacquainted myself with the controls, I was back to playing like a savant as if I hadn't even left. If you've never given Tetris a chance, please do. It's truly timeless.

When I saw this game during the presentation, I lost it. The contrast between the game's ridiculous premise and the way you guys presented it with such professionalism and dignity was wonderful. I am enamoured and wish Tire Boy all the best.

Finished reading the Chimera Ants arc in HxH. While there is lots for me to criticize, all was forgiven when I read the three pages of Reina returning home to her mother. Tearjerker scenes like that are what I live for.

Perhaps I Stockholm syndromed my way into this opinion, but now, after repentance was patched many times over, all the tainted characters are fun to play. Though they do take time to get used to, as their playstyles vary greatly from their non-tainted counterparts. The exception is t. cain, he sucks

Too real. It's the one game I consistantly come back to again and again. I wonder if that will change once I have my third dead god (or once mewgenics comes out?)

I only heard about that new method of matrix multiplication very recently, but it seems to have been discovered around two years ago! Neat! Here's an article on it, for those who want to know more: www.deeplearning.ai/the-batch/al...

Rayman-bros, we are so back. Rejoice, for Ubisoft added Steam achievements to Rayman Legends. It's a great opportunity to replay the game. I am doing so now and having a blast. It's one of the best 2D platformers of all time imo
