mechanic got me to put it down, but there were definitely highlights. The bosses were great, and I found that they were fairer and less annoying than a lot of basic enemies. Definitely don't be put off by my feelings on it, if you like the burrow mechanic I'm sure you'll have a far better time.

such as movement being faster while burrowed and enemies random walking being their strongest attack half the time. I'd much prefer shorter windups on enemy attacks and a much faster burrow time, or more realistically to not have it be a thing at all. The fact that the worst part for me was the core

Mina The Hollower I didn't make it very far before putting it down. I was really excited for something in the alttp vein, and parts of that really shone through. My biggest gripe was the burrow mechanic that felt clunky and over centralizing, reinforced my design decisions to further force burrows

Tombstone One of my favorite westerns. Val Kilmer and Kurt Russel both gave good performances, especially the former. Now can you stop suggesting me clips of it please YouTube shorts

If I were 5-8y younger I'd probably have enjoyed it a lot more I think.

part, though some endings for specific characters I had gripes with. I think my biggest issue was the gameplay, I had hoped that the deck building side of things would matter a bit more but I ended up barely trying for the last 70% of the game because the reward for perfect solutions was kinda buns.

I Was A Teenage Exocolonist Pretty good! Not played a ton of story focused games like this so it was something fresh. Played through twice, which is basically the minimum. Don't love how long it is when really the game wants you doing a *lot* of repeat runs. The characters were good for the most

Resident Evil (the new movie) Pretty good! Not a horror watcher much but I enjoyed it. I liked the body horror / humour and found it didn't overly rely on jump scares.

Nearly closed out a 55:xx, instead the final boss double tapped me turn 1 and lost >2m. Still a nearly 2m pb and a big step up in a lot of execution areas!

Sub hour attained, then nearly skipped straight to 56 on the runback. Will keep at it and try to get a 56/57 over the next week or two! After PAX I might try dropping thief shrine and go for a 55/54 but that depends on how fun gambling remains.

Missed the sub hour to two unwinnable plains drakes, but we are getting there! 58, maybe 57 with a really good run.

So turns out the rng last pb wasn't that amazing, good movement just leads to less encounters. My splitter showed up so this pb was hard carried by the lack of a quarter second delay. Sub hour soon!

Casual 21 min pb.... Deathless and with next to no random encounters from Tressa on, really happy with this one as a submission and a starting point to push for sub hour in the coming weeks.

Finished a run of octopath for pax submissions, will try and get it down a bit more tomorrow before the deadline. This like like 8+ mins to the final boss so just don't do that low-key. This was also on a quarter second delay because I'm using an el cheapo and the splitter hasn't arrived so ez pb

Trying to learn a run in a week when suffering from post ASM deathitis and having my lovely wife here is kinda hard it turns out. Making good progress as long as it doesn't turn into super deathitis

ASM done (but another 10 days of wife time), and it was a blast yet again! Always so nice seeing so many friends, and as always it went by way too quickly. It has definitely got me wanting to try to run something again (looking at octopath) to submit to pax

I've been watching the LCK with friends and it makes me wish we had 10 of us to actually do proper 5v5s with fearless draft casually. Alas the ppl who play I know are mostly overseas and 300 ping isn't the vibe.

Don't really have anything big to say for pride month but keep being yourself and surrounding yourself with people who love you for who you are. It's definitely not the easiest time to fall under the queer umbrella, trans especially, but having comfort in yourself and one another makes it worth it.

that still manages to surprise me at times with profound or heartfelt moments. I am very keen for the next book in the series and I recommend it! I'm told the audiobooks are very well done too if that's more your speed.

Dungeon Crawler Carl (Books 1-7) Holy hell. This series manages to convey such an interesting blend of the varied responses to intense loss or suffering and the fact it's packaged as a story between a guy in his underwear and his talking cat. Without spoiling too much it's been an extremely fun read

F1 the movie: I knew it would be bad but this was SO ass. Neither of the apex gp drivers were remotely likeable, the plot kinda went nowhere, and anything remotely F1 related was completely uncoupled from reality or realism. Basically the only saving grace was that Carlos Sainz was onscreen at times

Project Hail Mary (spoilers (duh)) Read the book then watched the movie, and I heavily encourage anyone else planning to watch the movie to do the same, especially if you are interested in the physics / biology / SciFi stuff. I also felt that stratt was much better developed in the book, but overall

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! I liked it! Not something that was on my radar but watched it with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. I found the plot and characters pretty good, esp compared to a lot of other musical kinda movies

showing not just the navi and people interacting but also the navi and the larger world, it did a lot to make it feel alive and wild. Here every animal is domesticated bar the deep sea squid things and even then blue Jesus controls by the end. That really made the world feel small and domesticated

themes to kind of just continue the story in an eh kinda way. The forest and air settings are also much more visually appealing than the endless blue of the sea backdropping blue people. Some cool stuff but little to nothing it did better than the original. Something I liked in the original was

Avatar: Fire and Ash This shit was so ass. The first half is basically irredeemable, and only brief glimpses of what made avatar good in the second. 80% of the characters introduced in the second movie I didn't care about at all, so the time spent on them was kinda a waste. Strayed from the core
