Saw a youtube thumbnail claiming that White Knuckle is 'the worst' and burst out laughing. Any harder bait and I'd take you for a washed up fisherman

Good grief, Grammarly is now sending me daily offers on discounted subscriptions. Couldn't have sent me any savings while I was originally subbed?

Going through transition has given me far more context and understanding how and why getting misgendered (accidentally or purposefully) can be anger, disappointment or sadness-inducing

Ohh, the leakers lied and instead meant the NEXT patch will have the PvE mode, with the 'trusted source' coming from a- doctored 4chan post lmao

NMRIH2 is revealing me to be a hypocrite in a potentially positive way. Could hardly bat an eye at teammates if they don't communicate or point out pickups to others, but as soon as I hear someone get grabbed, I'm doing jumpkicks to help them faster than I can think

Took a look; they seem promising but the lack of a higher up back and headrest is a non-starter for me. I sit back a lot, so I'd need that additional vertical support

So the Deadlock '''leakers''' who said there'd be a new co-op mode in today's patch... Where are they again?

It's amusing how this and Marathon go from 'NO. PVE BAD, SHUT UP' to 'oh hey we're gonna test some PvE' when it's player counts slipping instead of being receptive to player feedback

Trying to shop for a new chair online is like diving into a dark web of conspiracy theorists; either it's recommended or anyone who recommends it is a shill of the highest order

People being allergic to picking up supply items in NMRIH2 is a hoot. They’ll complain about needing credits to get the cosmetics they want, yet will purposefully ignore the mint green items laying around that’ll help them buy said cosmetics sooner

Had a fuckhead in NMRIH2 last night try to hit on me, then they tried to barricade me in an office when I wouldn't bite. One, this oddly helps reaffirm my transitioning, but two, who in the good goddamn is trying to get ass in a zombie game

Bruh. The enquiry I sent to Lime about the measurements for their e-bikes got a canned AI reply that didn't even bother to try answering the question. You're telling me some intern can't go into their workshop with a tape measure?

Noticing that playing with randos on normal or above in No More Room In Hell 2 has one of two results: Normal, functional human beings there to play a co-op video game, or a batch of yahoos who love to roleplay as military freaks

Well, I -hoped- the balance update would've addressed those issues, but I guess the patch notes were a jape since enemies are still unreasonably powerful despite juiced up gear

It continues to baffle me how Youtube's algorithm worsens by the minute. I selected 'don't show me this channel again' under the recommended list, and an hour later it suggested the same channel again

While it won't cure my sleep apnea, the Manta Sound sleep mask I got recently has contributed pretty nicely to the last few nights/naps. Still takes me a long time to fall asleep, but I've found these last mornings that I don't feel -as- terrible compared to before

Reckon I'll put Welcome to Elderfield down until an update or two that fixes some of the bugs and balancing. I'm taking psychic damage due to enemies seemingly scaling to my level in the Old Woods' and its mineshaft

It's super obvious that corpos will say and do the dumbest shit imaginable because they know game outlets will chomp at the bit to give them free publicity for it. 'bUt It'S tHe NeWs!!' There's probably a dozen or so news items -I- could report on that doesn't involve a CEO's foot in mouth

The mechanics behind whether you get any post-battle loot might be the worst-designed thing I've seen in ages. First, it's a coin flip if the enemy is too mangled to loot or not, then it's a dice roll on the quality of the loot, and even THEN, a majority of the time it's middling

000

seventeen cats in two trenchcoats @dinoracha.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It's like there's no incentive to use buff/debuffs, just go for raw attacking and healing. I just got washed by a miniboss because I wasted turns trying to up my stats when lol, enemies seem to deal true damage whenever they want

Welcome to Elderfield is starting to show its failings as an RPG the deeper I go; I'm at level 21 with what's the currently best gear I have along with a slew of blessings, but it's like the stats are just ignored by enemies in the Old Woods

Was tickled to see it have a bundle with Look Outside. In Elderfield, I keep expecting to hear Look Outsides’ apartment room song whenever I go home

To my surprise, Welcome to Elderfield came out yesterday. Picked it up and have gotten super spooked twice, with a slew of unsettling moments to boot

It seems like they're emulating Gamepass/Microsofts' nonsense by upping prices and doing/giving less in return. They know whales will keep buying no matter the price, so alienating those with lower income/less available spending money doesn't bother them in the slightest

I continue to question what test tubes the current corpos were grown in. It's blatantly clear the the first Switch was a glorified prototype testing for the Switch 2, so a -small- price increase for the new hardware would make sense, not nickel and diming more and more aspects

Don't get me wrong, Mistria is a delight, but I can't help but feel like there could've been far, FAR more to do. More events, more secrets to delve into, ways to unlock whatever's in the automation crafting menu - Not have it all locked behind doing multiple years

seventeen cats in two trenchcoats @dinoracha.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It also seems like some of the (very, -very- limited) optional quests are tied to relationship levels, as THAT'S a dreadful grind in of itself. It's like discovery and finding secrets was the lowest priority

After you complete the mines, it's like the story and other advancements just drop off a cliff, with the only main one being town rank. I'm at emerald, and the task to upgrade the carpentry shop just led to more house upgrades and a greenhouse

Not sure if I'm going to keep at Fields of Mistria. The magic, skills and advancement feel so minor; I maxed out cooking and I can now buy an espresso machine and have a chance to make food that can revive me. The game's combat is hilariously easy, though
