erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ok, probably need to finally go to bed now that it's noon. I leave everyone with this absolute nightmare fuel. Yeah... it has a scooped out face... or something. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026One thing i will say for morrowind dungeons - despite the dated graphics (even with an improved engine and some graphic mods) some of the dungeon still remain a little creepy, or otherwise atmospheric appropriate to their setting due to really top notch sound design. 030
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I like the fact that enemies don't scale in morrowind... but it was weird to get sent to a cave near the starting area by a fairly late fighter's guild quest, where everyone was tens of levels less than me. 🙃 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm a slight hoarder... these are all my magical items that might be useful. Eventually. Maybe. Probably not mostly. I also am collecting these blue lanterns just because it makes the lighting in here cool. 🤷♂️ 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Just some random things from my adventure today... Some evil statues i'm collecting for my house. Weird cult messages on the ground. Weird cult symbol made in gold - not sure exaclty how much, but something like 300g after i picked it all up. 🤣 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Spent some money to train all my tertiary skills to 40. Doesn't really do much, other than help the occasional spell, or meet some requirements for advancement in the mages/fighters guild - which i'm not even super seriously pursuing yet. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Dude... wtf... like what is going on with this guy. 🤣 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Not gonna lie, can't take these guys seriously. Every time I see one, in my head the south park "crab people" song starts playing. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I really, really , really wish people would stop trying to use discord for everything. No... i'm not going to join the discord for your weird niche community project/game/whatever to stay informed about it. That's essentially you putting the burden on me - and I'm not interested in that. 140
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Balmora - the seattle of morrowind apparently. Rains like every other time i step outside here. 🤷♂️ 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Pretty sure this weird pygmy demon predator looking thing is actually just a total coincidence of where the texture mirrors/wraps around the rock.... but pretty freaky anyway. 030
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Definitely making more progress in morrowind than i ever have on previous attempts. Getting a pretty good feel for the world layout and most of the cities. Vivec though... is still a maze of complete nonsense and inconvenient to navigate. I actually think it is part of the reason i quit last time. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Seems to be an unpopular opinion these days... but the trend of putting your PC *ON* your desk is just absolutely baffling to me. I don't understand the desire to lose desk space, nor the desire for it to be louder/hotter right in your ear/face. Granted my PC tower is almost as tall as my desk. 🤷♂️ 130
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It's supposed to be a strip club... but the dance they are doing with the weird shoulder pops reminds me of some cross between the robot and thriller. Just comes off as goofy AF. 🤣 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This game becomes a totally different game once you get the boots of blinding speed - and completely negate the blinding effect, which is not difficult or expensive. The travel time and i'd personally argue, some tedium, is cut down a lot. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Scroll of what now? The *actual* weird part of this is that morrowind calls their "mana", magicka - the second part I think they are using in the sense of pillage. But still... it's a real oddity all around. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Saw an island in the distance, decided to try to swim out to it - turned into some jason and the argonauts shit. That can't be good. 😅 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Attempting to make another go of morrowind. I really *want* to like this game, though in the past i've concluded it just isn't as good as people make it out to be. We'll see how it goes this time. 120
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Wrapped on Sword of Vermilion about a week later, after not getting to play it at all between sunday and friday afternoon. About 18 hours, skipping an area that is totally useless, but dying a few times and having to walk back to bosses. Maybe my favorite genesis game, but not for everyone. 130
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 09/09/2026New metroid game - oh cool. It uses (and just based on the amount shown in the trailer, *overuses* ) that fucking obnoxious melee block/parry - oh... how disappointing and stupid. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Sitting alone in the dark with a cupcake, a glass of scotch, and some sword of vermilion on the crt. Good way to spend an evening if you ask me. 🤷♂️ 030
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I'm going to come out and say I have that very unpopular opinion of kind of agreeing with 'ackshully' guy here. I really love old games and old tech... but I actually really dislike nostalgia. I like for those old things to stand on their merits of someone picking them up today for the first time. 140
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Ok, that's a wrap on 'Dawn'. Very cool episode. Just slightly overstayed its welcome for me. I still like the occasional fps... but one with no real story can only hold my attention for so long these days compared to when i was a kid and fps games were pushing the boundaries of interactivity. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Remember that one hallway from "Event Horizon"? This kind of reminds me of that. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 07/08/2026NGL that was an intense arena. This dawn of the machine episode is pretty cool. Kind of metroidish in that you start with limited everything and you get upgrades for more health, more ammo capacity. And I think you go back and revisit levels when you have more key type objects. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 18/07/2026If there is anyone following me who wants a free steam key for any of: Borderlands 3 Bioshock Infinite Duke Nukem 3d: 20th aniv. XCOM Enemy Unknown Let me know. Got them in a bundle and already have them. 120
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Perform standard game action. Fall through world. Keep up the good work game devs! At least after falling for about 10 seconds it bounced me back up to on the roof... so on the whole, not the worst outcome. 030
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 16/07/2026This is a joke right? A SC-7 you couldn't even bother to wipe down for over 300 usd + shipping?!? I literally bought one of these for under $50 shipped like 3 years ago. There is nothing special or rare about these, they are just a budget sc55. i.e. a sc55 but... objectively worse. 🤦♂️ 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I swear this is me every time a new GoG sale comes up, and I see all sorts of cool games I remember, at ridiculously low prices and then realize every one i go to look at is already marked "in library". 🫠 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 08/07/2026All I'm going to say about this, is that I'm so tired of the performative outrage crowd expecting everyone to know everything you know and feel just as vitriolic about it in the same way and for the same reasons you do... otherwise they are the enemy. It's so tiring and frankly juvenile. Grow up. 130
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 06/07/2026That's a wrap on Gothic 1 Remake. Was about 80 hours for me, having never played the original. It's not a perfect game, but it genuinely leaves an impact and is a masterclass on building a lot into a world that isn't all that large. Early-mid story is genuinely really engaging. ...1/2 130
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I mean i do actually need to rest, so this seems fine... but in real life how insane would you have to be to rest in this random cave with bodies and some kind of bizarre ritual going on? 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Today's project is a voluntary edge enhancer. Thought it was going to take longer because of how many parts have to be removed... but it was pretty quick. Next up, cleaning up my disaster of a work area. 120
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Minor project for today. The plastic tabs inside both usb ports on my win 98 board were super brittle and broke off. So... time to replace those ports. Not complicated, I know, but at least something accomplished. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Seeing this a lot in response to Sony's post about killing disc production. Pretty much my thoughts as well. I only buy PS games because i like having a physical copy - but i still prefer certain genres on PC and still MOSTLY play on PC. I can just go PC only at any time. Terrible move Sony. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 28/06/202643 hours in, and way above the level i should be while still in chapter 1, after clearing almost the whole map of living things without glitching into areas that sequence break... i'm finally ready to pick a faction and move on to chapter 2. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 27/06/2026It's by no means the best looking game ever, but gothic 1 remake has its moments. 040
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Apparently, 0 HP is not *actually* 0. 😏 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I legitimately don't know wtf i'm looking at here. Why does the tree have a skull? Make it make sense. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Reactions to the steam machine prices are wild. Saying you don't think it's a good value proposition or you aren't interested... totally fine. But, people acting like 1k is 6-12mo of savings... I'm genuinely concerned for you. If you are living that close to the edge, stop spending money on toys. 110
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Being a murderhobo because that is pretty much the only way to get xp in this game... since everything except the most basic of creatures kill you in like one hit. Even 15 hours in... 😑 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Ok, i just came across the absolute dumbest graphic for a product i've ever seen. Like wtf... who is this for? Who doesn't know 10 is 10x more than 1? I'm done with this species. 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I've unironically lived my life by homer's very similar philosophy applied generally... and it's worked out incredibly well. 🤷♂️ 020
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I'm not as anti-AI extremist as some, but wanted to address the original headline. So what if you had? Well then *you* didn't really write it, no more, no less. What do *you* think about that? What do your *readers* think about that reality? That's really all it comes down to. 010
erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Having lived close enough to Utica for many many years, and having a friend that actually lives pretty close to Albany now... I can assure you, that indeed, something was amiss here, as I have never heard anyone refer to *anything* as steamed hams. 🤨 010

erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 05/04/2026So even though I actually have a dedicated soldering/computer building space now since I moved early last summer, I haven't really made a ton of time to use it. So I finally decided to work on a problematic SNES i've been meaning to get to, for over a year. 280

erebusmaligan.bsky.social @erebusmaligan.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Watching a video on youtube where they were talking about the extended cut of "The Measure of a Man". I guess it's on the blu-ray releases, which I don't have. Anyway if you know the episode and haven't ever seen it, it's worth watching.
