We've just made our largest custom jigsaw puzzle yet with ~4000 wood pieces! This is going to be insanely difficult to assemble

On the other hand Outer Worlds 2 has plenty of serious (and disturbing) messages. SPOILER ALERT I spent time trying to resolve one quest without making damage to harmless Protectorate outcasts. “Check on us later” they said. Yeah… 😏first against the wall once shit hit the fan. Sad.

Pretty much close to finishing Outer Worlds 2. Absolutely enjoying random gags here. Check out this hilarious helmet unlocked by tedious collection quest: A New Point of View Mk 2 (all it does is everything starts looking pixelated like 1997 game)

This game seriously became… serious 😅 yup! No more joking around, it is all about trying to make a best (humane) choice out of impossible corporate/cult greedy choices 🤷‍♂️

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Shooting innocent civilians - check. The whole plot center being brainwashed - check 😂🤦‍♂️

But… [spoiler alert max] the stuff you end up revisiting in the OW2 keeps getting even more disturbing as it might be…

It is literally hilarious to see they incorporated the characters from the Outer Worlds episode of Love Death + Robots! Kudos to the team! 😄

OK, it’s close to Christmas and I’m still ton close (or I feel like I am not) to finishing The Outer Worlds 2 🤷‍♂️ Some funny observations through…

And we’re finally to Outer Worlds 2! Hooray! All glory to Auntie Cleo!!! 🤣

OK, couple of quick game reviews. Herdling is first. Too short in my opinion. Also not as relaxing as I would except from the title. But otherwise this is a real deal. Just like FAR: you can enjoy it for next few years s occasionall

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

But more importantly, it’s the repetiveness of all the dungeons, towers, and even basic castles. Seemed like absolutely awesome feature back in 2006 but… oh boy… so strange now 🤦‍♂️ as if I’m replaying early Might & Magic games.

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

One thing for certain. It is extremely hard not to compare the gameplay to modern RPG. Like Awoved or Cyberpunk 😂 And… those design choices circa 2006 leave a lot to be desired… like like who the heck designed those lockpick and persuade minigames? WTF really? 😂

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Playing Oblivion Remastered and… It’s been almost 19 years but some things are exactly as I left them: beautiful yet buggy as hell 😂 Well, we’ll see if I can finish it now.

Aw shoot, when did Apple TV+ picked up the MURDERBOT series?! It’s one of the most… wait, they are the most hilarious sci-fi novels recently published! Good news, it’s coming May 16th

Holy shit I fucking got it. I've been awake since 4:03am, I drove 95 miles, got here at 7:10am, and at 4:29pm one of the peregrine falcons attacked TWO pelicans and made contact on THREE attempts. 17 useful frames. Here's a fast edit on my phone. Let's fucking go and log off! 🪶

Playing #Awoved and there is one thing to ask. Is your sound designer from Midwest? Blackbirds were disturbing OK, but tree frog? What’s it doing here 😂

So the reason Norfolk Island copped a dramatically higher tariff than the rest of Australia is two shipments of Timbaland boots from the Bahamas and some aquarium supplies from the UK that had their point of origin mislabeled or misrecorded. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is the clearest photo ever taken of Venus. 🔭 🧪

This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument. The image shows a crescent Venus against the black backdrop of space, with the edge of the planetary limb clearly defined. The crescent is illuminated by sunlight, transitioning from a bright, almost white glow at the top right edge to a subtle, golden yellow that dominates the majority of the illuminated area, before fading into the darkness of the planet's night side at the bottom left. The distinct variations in brightness and texture across the crescent suggest cloud formations or atmospheric layers. A bright, flaring light source is visible at the top right corner, likely the Sun, which contributes to the illumination of the crescent. The overall composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the luminous crescent and the surrounding darkness, highlighting the curvature and celestial context of Venus.

Remembering that low Democratic Party turnout was attributed in part to Kamala-Walz being not enough pro-Palestine. So, how do you feel now folks? Happy with the outcome? Just asking 💁‍♂️ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump proposes U.S. control of Gaza, permanent displacement of residents

The idea, a first indicator of Trump’s approach to the conflict, was sure to inflame the region given the history of Palestinians’ displacement from their territory.

LA to NY, that’s not bad 😏 How about transatlantic flight on aged Boeing 767 with CRT TV that does exactly that for 10 hours? Long time ago but I bet that rusty bucket still doing its rounds somewhere.

So if someone creates an illustrated book using OpenAI and Midjourney it’s absolutely OK to steal it and print as yours, ha ha. Well, that is fair 💁‍♂️ www.theverge.com/news/602096/...

This is the best take on minesweeper I’ve seen since 1995. And maybe one of the best rogue like games I’ve seen as well. Check it out, cause most importantly it’s free to play in your browser! danielben.itch.io/dragonsweeper

Reading the heated debate about if it is ethical to use AI generated images as book covers. 🧐 IMHO it is fairly easy to stop their use in printed media - just require publishers to list all contributors of a picture, just like they do for photos.

OK, after hours playing Stalker 2 I finally found a guy with decent Ukrainian voice acting. Feels like the whole first area was done last minute so every NPC is voiced by some tired expressionless guy.

010

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

The bad thing in Stalker 2 is anything inside buildings. And I don’t mean monsters. There are literally zero lights and all is lit by flashlight on your head making you feel you are playing 1997 game. I mean it.

110

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

The good about Stalker 2 is its atmosphere. The suspense of the zone, the unseen horror, yet the sheer beauty of the land. And all those amazing weather effect, so I just want to explore.

Constantine Zuev @zkeeper.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Finally got to play Stalker 2 and… it’s mixed feelings game. It’s both gorgeous and bad at the same time. Which is both surprising and unsurprising given its Ukrainian nickname can be translated as “wait-forever-ker”. Alas Duke Nukem Forever keeps the title of longest wait worst released title.
