Going live at twitch.tv/zullie with more Mortal Shell II. Last time I found a boss several people told me I was likely significantly underleveled for, but in the end we squished it. It's a bit earlier than I usually go live, but that's what sleep troubles get you.

Going live at twitch.tv/zullie with more Mortal Shell II. I've really been looking forward to getting back to this, I went in with some slight skepticism from the first Mortal Shell but it has really impressed me so far.

Second Mortal Shell II VOD is live. After sprinting to a later area in the first session, I went back to what is probably meant to be the starting area, leading to interesting difficulty curves. I also got a ghost bear with swords for hands, which is fun. youtu.be/Ot-K4J6kO-4

The first VOD for Mortal Shell II is live. I've been really pleasantly surprised by it, they've made some very QOL conscious choices with the gameplay and have managed to balance a rather grim, gritty world with levity and points of brightness. youtu.be/3-tKgqwRjKA

Going live at twitch.tv/zullie with more Mortal Shell II. I'm enjoying it so far, there are some really interesting approaches to common Soulslike mechanics being explored here. I may have tackled an area I was a bit underleveled for, but got through it despite that.

Going live at twitch.tv/zullie with Mortal Shell II. I never played the first one, but I know vaguely enough to be interested. The premise is fairly unusual even among Soulslikes, so I'm curious to see how it plays out.

I've had some dreams lately that aren't like actively threatening nightmares, but are just kind of unnerving. Like I dreamt that years ago one of my siblings had somehow been duplicated, then eventually one of them died in front of me, but nobody seemed to care because the other was still alive.

Going live at twitch.tv/zullie to watch the Nintendo Direct. With The Duskbloods network test concluded, hopefully we'll see some news about it here, and ideally a release date. This will be a bit of a short stream, since I'll have to leave for speech therapy right after.

Going live at twitch.tv/zullie to watch the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, and then probably play more Dragon's Dogma II. Interested to see what they have in the Direct, but kind of quietly hoping for more Topdown Zelda in particular.

Horror comedy thing where the protagonist finds themself in a Silent Hill-esque psychological horror world based on their trauma and person flaws, but it just really misunderstands them. Like it keeps doing a bunch of metaphors for parental abuse but the protagonist's parents were actually fine.

I'm planning to stream tomorrow, but haven't quite decided on what to stream. I'll still aim for noon CST, as usual, but I'm considering being more flexible with the scheduling, since I think I could stream a lot more often if I weren't so anxious about the timing.

Zullie @zulliethewitch.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I've said it before, but like with Leontiel now, it almost feels like FromSoftware is actively counting on dataminers to look into the files and show this stuff. There's a weird elegance to it, honestly, where it lets them slip in details without needing to contrive a scenario to show them ingame.

I did my best to get a good shot of all of the Kin, but their behavior made that a bit tricky for some of them. The smaller Kin try to stay very close and face away from you. Baritone also sadly has a large circular VFX that's active at all times, so ignore the white fluff in front of his face.

For the final Duskbloods session, I played a round as every Bloodsworn and managed to at least make it to the grail with all of them besides Zork. I've never been into heavy weapons, so I sadly didn't mesh with Zork's kit. I could see some appeal in most of the others, but I heavily favor Layla.

I kind of hit a stride and won like every game I played last Duskbloods session. I'll be eager to see what other goals exist in the final game, because the PvP showdowns don't quite give me the same satisfaction as like a new Nightlord fight in Nightreign.

Zullie @zulliethewitch.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I was honestly feeling a bit gloomy about The Duskbloods after the first session, largely because it didn't feel like I had a strong sense of what I should be doing, but today's session was really a big turnaround. I actually won most of my games and had a lot of fun trying things out.

114113

Zullie @zulliethewitch.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

My most important takeaway from The Duskbloods so far: It sadly seems like all the characters are the same height. I was really curious what sort of overlap there might be from Nightreign on a like, design framework level, and if nothing else, it seems like they didn't get the height values.

Sadly no, face data is only used for NPCs that use the same model as the player. However, there is something unusual in that the helmet model the player uses for the Artorias set has a hidden, partially sculpted face inside it, even though the actual Artorias model doesn't.

I think I've been feeling increasingly frustrated with my fragility lately largely because of how much less I've been able to hide it. Having put myself more forward, a lot of problems that had always been happening in the background were kind of pushed to the forefront as well.

I think one of the cats stepped on my roomba in the middle of the night and woke it up. I just started hearing noises and saw a light at ground level slowly creep into the hallway in front of my room. It was so confusing and kind of genuinely terrifying for about 5-10 seconds.

Zullie @zulliethewitch.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

My recurring pain issues and my sleep schedule have been getting a bit better, so I might try to stream something tomorrow at the usual noon CST time if I'm feeling alright. Not yet sure what I'd try to play, since I don't want to start DaS2 if I'm feeling out of it.

The are many strange transformations across the Souls series, with various entities changing form for better or worse. In some cases, patterns seem to emerge, and enigmatic concepts in previous entries might potentially be expanded on by later titles. youtu.be/LRuNbDBUoO4

I want to stream but my sleep schedule lately has been rough. For the past like 10 days I've been having a lot of chronic pain acting up, and it disrupted my sleep time such that I'm falling asleep around when I'd usually stream. If I moved stream time, I'm not sure if earlier or later is better.

Zullie @zulliethewitch.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

So I've still been playing Nightreign since it released over a year ago, and sometimes I find myself wondering like, what happens with Nightreign as a concept from here? It seems to have succeeded beyond their expectations, but what does that mean for it as an IP, or even just a gameplay formula?
