I heard great things about IWD2 but I don't know if I'm in the mood to learn DnD 3.5

I'm still in the mood for a Crpg. I need to decide if I wanna play Pathfinder Wotr or Icewind Dale 2.

It also has the problem of every other RPG in existence (I swear a played a ton of them and I still haven't found one when it isn't true) where from the midgame onward the challenge doesn't exists anymore and you just nuke/CC everything into oblivion

Finished POE 1, enjoyed it but the later third was really tiring. All around a good game but nothing incredible, I'm really not a fan of the rpg system, itemization is terrible and the talents/spells are pretty boring.

Still having a lot of fun with it and I'm really liking the setting and the companions. It's also the perfect game to play when tired after work.

Playing Pillars Of Eternity 1 for the first time since release and I have to say they improved it a lot. PotD is really fun. I unfortunately hit the mid game portion of every RPG where I'm strong as fuck and every fight gets resolved by CC + Nuke.

"outsiders can tell you what's wrong with your game that you might have missed!" imagine saying this shit about literally any other artform lol. "you need to run your harsh noise rock album by some taylor swift fans so they can tell you how to fix it." demented.

I heard about stuff like Neocities but Idk if I have the time to learn how to code. Thank you for the recommendation and for the example, I'll look into it.

Tai @taitsurugi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Oh Notion, I used it for note taking before but I stopped after they started all AI crap. I had no idea you can also use it for websites. The AI stuff bothers me but it seems you can't escape it if you want an easy platform without the need to code.

I can't stand this scorching heat anymore man. I hate Summer.

Tai @taitsurugi.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I was thinking of making a blog so I can have palce to post some longform thoughts and reviews. Do you guys have any recomendations for platforms? Is Wordpress still decent?

Tai @taitsurugi.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Congratz on your clear, it's the magic of STG Summer. Futari is such a fantastic game, the pacing is absolutely perfect.

Everytime I look for stationery's videos, YT starts to recommend me way too many productivity gurus. I wanna see cool videos about notebooks, paper and pens not learn The Method (tm) to organize every waking second of my life to appease the god of productivity tyvm.

It's even worse in Europe lol, The Ninja Warriors: Once Again

So the company I work for we'll be closed most of August this year, so I think I'll take the opportunity to finally learn Tower of Druaga.

I mentioned it in the Backloggd revie but TCAA using tank control is a fantastic choice. A bi problem with 3d action game is that, even in the more grounded ones, your movement option are too strong and it's easy to kite/run around safely. Tank controls are a really elegant solution to this.

Tai @taitsurugi.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Mainly 2 titles. Total Chaos Against Apathy: a fantastic action arcade game. End of Starchild: an incredibly solid Doom total conversion with some cool narrative twists. Both of them clear passion projects and a joy to play.

Not knowing is understandable but still I feel the whole thing was grossly unprofessional. Accepting a sponsorship without doing any research is absurd especially for a community driven organization that works with charity.

gamers will spend their entire lives learning and struggling with the act of twin-stick controls, a task so difficult that every console shooter since 2001 has a million invisible aim assist tricks to make them feel even halfway playable, and then go "resident evil is incomprehensible to me"

New PB, really close to the 1CC. I was really close to kill the final boss.

Really cool commentary with some really nice insight on difficulty and perceived unfairness. Also congrats on the clear!

Oh absolutely, it's one of the weakest fights. The idea of a cramped fight was good but the lock on system and the camera don't work well with it. Even as a RPG check it could have been handled more elegantly.

While far from the best fight, it's one of those that favours the rpg aspect more than the action one. If you foght it with high poise and a heavy weapon it completely trivializes it. You go in spam r1 on the dogs and then stagger lock the Capra

‪ They're telling me it's #STGSUMMER, so here's my commentary for my Mushi Futari BL Original 1CC. Messy commentary for a messy run that I never expected to be a clear. youtu.be/cWQ-7Fc8oaQ?=1

I GOT IT!!! My first ever clear of a Cave game - Progear no Arashi. I went off route so much that I didn’t think it’d be the run but, with no lives or bombs left in stock for the backend of the final phase, I micro dodged well enough to pull it off! youtu.be/Fwo2Hq7KKZ0?...

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

We need more games like this, pure passion projects that are unmistakably true to the developer own vision. This is what indie games should be.

Tai @taitsurugi.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Didn't have much time to put it into it but what I played is fantastic. Great focus on fundamebtals, spacing and crowd control with a really unique aestethic and some real NG2 level of chaos. The Scythe is a fantastic weapon. If you like action or arcades definetly check it out. It's a steal too.
