Met this dude at a metal fest, was a bit awkward, but really chill otherwise. Although he kept saying "I must kill all the Hiss", idk what that was about

Dylan Faden from Control Resonant, wearing black jeans, black tee with white graffiti print on it, maroon red long coat and old school flight goggles. He also rocks and impeccable green mullet and a horrible mustache. He can't pose for photos so he kinda just awkwardly stands there.

Another thing on new Control - there are couple of sequences which seemed to me like Remedy WISHED they could just have 2nd go at Quantum Break (in a good way), and I'll keep it at that, you'll know it when you'll see it

Playing a lot of Control Resonant, and holy shit the game's insane. Remedy legit knocked it out of the park with this one, play it!

Been binge playing through whole of AW2 + Expansions + Final Draft (and watching a bunch of Control), can't wait!

The "importance of good nutrition" bit hit close to me, as several years back I just kinda "existed" through life it feels like, and that includes the kinds of art I consumed - usually whatever was kinda popular, but not "ugh, it's popular so I hate it", not to mention all the social media.

Idk if it exactly applies, but Far Cry 5. It's not the most "out there" game by any stretch of the imagination, I am just kinda surprised people I talked with generaly liked it better than FC6, and I never quite got "why" (although obviously whole series took quite a dip after 3-4).

My main desktop PC's RAM kinda died, and I cant afford to replace it right now, so I've been using Steam Deck basically as a desktop for past months And well, it's a PC! Been doing some gamedev stuff, some blender work and so on. It's relatively straightforward to get even Unreal Editor to run on it

Really nice very early morning Warsaw Old City photos from my morning walk

Photo of Mostowa street in Warsaw, with buildings forming a "corridor" trailing into the distance and to the right, hiding the streets end.
Warm morning sunlight is shining on the buildings on the left, on the right they are fully covered in shadow.
Further down the street, couple of cars are parked, and dim orange street lights are still lit up.

Photo of a Świętojańska street in Warsaw, in the foreground buildings on the sides are almost entirely covered in shadow, between them is a gap where the street continues, until it opens up in front of the Royal Castle.
It is also mostly covered in shadow, except for the clocktower that's lit up by the warm morning sunlight.

Was trying to search for some specific game reviews/previews/interviews from around 2001, and stumbled upon this masterpiece LMAO

Scan of a "Next Gen" magazine spread, issue 84 from December 2001, with an ad for Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex. In it, character of Crash portrayed inside a hospital ward with walkers, in a patient's gown, with his entire ass out. A nurse looks over her back with a concerned/confused look towards crash, while he's walking down the corridor.
The caption on the ad reads "It's Crash's toughest adventure yet."

Tbh it's kinda fascinating thing, since to some extent, PC game specs (for AAA) are driven also by consoles, and this late into console gen I would've expected for it to stabilize somewhat, with a lot of major issues worked out for at least the configs that are close to console ones.

Feeling extreme creative emptiness today, which, admittedly, has been a thing going on for years, just kinda been hitting more and more recently, with no observable way out, to a point where I just get headaches whenever I try to force myself to do *anything*. While the time is running out...

I was a bit hesitant with this one, I'm gonna be real, as I wasn't really a fan of neither pokemon nor digimon (just something I didn't really have that much of an exposure to as a child), but hearing it being compared to Narnia couple of times does sparks up a bit of curiosity.

Excerpt from the article, which reads:
"A lot of the fiction I grew up with as a kid — like, say, Narnia — was fuckin kickass because you’d have some real dark shit without just being Misery Porn For Adults. Like, one book I loved growing up was The Silver Chair, which is a story about how two British schoolchildren end up in another dimension and go on a quest where they’re nearly eaten by giants and almost killed half a dozen other times on their way to descend into the literal underworld to rescue an ensorcelled prince who’s been taken away by a mysterious witch who turns into a snake creature."

I think one of the most important skills a person can learn nowadays is recognizing when they are making up a person in their head to get mad at and how they can step back from that and ground themselves. No shade. It's an extremely easy behavior to fall into and it will erode you.

Finished Tactical Breach Wizards, incredible game, loved it a lot - I forgot when was the last time I had to actually get my headgears spinning this much lmao Plus the writing and characters are really fun Play it if you haven't yet!

Screenshot of a dialogue scene from the game.
There are 3 characters sitting at a table with a map and a model train on it, making plans.
From left to right - character in a pink hoodie with the hood up, and a ribcage print on the chest, and bones print on the arms.
Character in a noir-ish private investigator coat, witch hat, with a cat.
Old white haired man in tactical magician robe.
Context of the dialogue is that the group will need to wait for some time to proceed with their plan.
The dialogue reads:
Old man: "I've got a good audiobook on the role of Mulassan anti-tank monks in World War 4 if you wanna borrow."
Witch with the hat: "Is it about their human stories and cultural context, or more-"
Old man: "It's entirely about the craft dynamics of armour penetration."
Witch with the hat: "I'll just stare at a train station, thanks."
