The CGI announcement trailer for The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park just dropped (together with a bunch of other stuff). I can't wait for people to actually experience what we're working on. So excited! Enjoy and see you in Central Park in November! #thedivision2

Because of its arrival today, this turned into a nice birthday present for myself - the 2000 hardback edition of Eshelman's The Mystical & Magical System of the A∴A∴. I've never seen it for sale in Sweden before. It was also a lot bigger than I thought it would be... #thelema #occultism
The 2000 hardback edition of Eshelman's The Mystical & Magical System of the A∴A∴, with a blue cover featuring the star of Babalon. Banana next to it for scale.

Well, Aleister Crowley took cocain and wrote Aleister Crowley books so I guess he actually *was* a magician (and Aleister Crowley).

Election day in Sweden. And while the opinion polls all look promising, I don't think I've ever been more nervous about an election in my life. The people I've talked to all feel the same. What country will we wake up to tomorrow?

Kinda sad that the pixel art app I picked up a while ago has added generative AI functions to it. How could anyone be able to trust anything I might do with that app now? That anyone makes with it? Bye bye.

I love exploring in #MortalShell2, it's a really cool open world, but what's killing the game for me is the constant dungeon delving in very samey dungeons. I sigh a bit every time, it's now a necessary evil before I get to explore more. And there's a *lot* of them.

Thanks! Gonna check it out. I've played it and had a great time, but Act 4 never had a chance to become a slog, luckily. I think Glass Cannon did an amazing job all the way through.

So, I decided to activate that Seal - I haven't cared about Achievements for a long time, but still there was some resistance in me - and well, while some fights are certainly easier, #MortalShell2 is still kicking my ass quite often. Why do I like Soulslikes when I suck at them so much?

Completely agree. Outlaws is full of genius design, is an unbelievably immersive and evocative interpretation of Star Wars, and has some top-tier writing. It’s the pinnacle of the Ubisoft format. They even fixed a bunch of the things that didn’t work for some folk in free patches. Amazing game.

Against my better judgment I picked up #MortalShell2. It is, of course, kicking my ass. So the question I have to ask myself is if I actually care about Achievements, or if I put on the "easy mode" equipment item. I guess it's also the question of what a Soulslike actually is to me.

And there it is, Echoes of Central Park, the DLC we're working on! To quote our own socials - "get ready to explore Central Park for the first time and uncover the mysteries it holds". #thedivision2

I adore Tim Curry in general, but to me personally, the one role of his that's been the most impactful is his voice acting for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. I can still hear some of his voice lines in my head. May he be granted the accomplishment of his true Will.

Essentially. Managed to find used copies though, so could push down the price a bit.

I'm so tempted by #MortalShell2, it looks super neat, but judging from the discussions I found about difficulty it seems like it will kick my ass. And with no co-op, I'd probably be screwed. That's honestly how I got through most From games (and why I failed at Sekiro). I'm bad at gitting gud.

Was accepted to religious studies at Uppsala University this fall, 50% distance course. Woo! Not sure if I have the time, but let's give it a try. But I forgot how crazy expensive student litterature can be. Books for two courses out of four? $260 dollars 下さい. Oof.

Another gem found - an illustrated version of Robert Anton Wilson's quite special #Discordian screenplay Reality is What You Can Get Away With. Love the cover of this edition. Can anyone give me a few million dollars so I can try to make this movie a reality? #raw #discordia
A copy of Robert Anton Wilson's Reality is What You Can Get Away With: An Illustrated Screenplay. The cover is mainly red and black and features a twisted theater mask, one half happy and one side angry. The eye of the smiling side is staring right at the viewer.

This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

Remedy continues to demonstrate that narrative is worthy of investment. People want stories. Good stories take time, expertise and patience/trust from devs who are less au fait with its mechanics (because it IS every bit as mechanical and design heavy as every other aspect of your game).

Somehow someone had managed to book Einstürzende Neubauten for the local Malmö festival. They put on a great show, and Blixa was in a very good mood. A very nice surprise indeed.

And thus ends six weeks of vacation. It's been good, but with a soon-four-year-old at home I would hardly call it relaxing. But it's been good, and I've managed to disconnect completely from work. Now it's time to try to get back to regular life. It's not gonna be easy, but I'm sure it'll be fun.

I've only seen it in action once, and it made me throw up a little in my mouth. The banner ads selling premium currencies everywhere. Top of the screen. Bottom of the screen. At the same time. Jesus, that "game"

Final Fantasy XIV on Switch 2 is a little wonder. Visited Limsa, the main hub of the game. The place was *packed* with players, and the game ran without any issues. Tanked a trial, no problems at all. And it's perfect as handheld, cozied up in the couch. #finalfantasyxiv #ffxiv

That's amazing. I was heavily into MMOs for a long time, most of my writing was about the genre, and Rift was one of my favorites. Went back and found two articles I wrote about Storm Legion and how much I loved it. I visited Trion ahead of its release, fun times. Great work, in other words!
