  • Finally started in on Diablo 4: Season 6, and it was a little bit of a pain leveling up with the new system, but once I got into the paragon boards, man, things really took off. I am in love with my Dance of Knives Rogue. She is mowing down mobs like they’re nothing. It’s only been a week and I’m already on the Slayer chapter for season objectives. At this rate I’ll be done faster than my Necromancer last season.

    Played Amnesia: The Bunker (again, lol) one night for a couple more achievements: never dropping/storing an item and playing through the whole game without saving. I was also trying to go for three with one about taking out a bunch of rats, but for some reason I could never get more than a group of 4. Oh well.






  • I’ve been trying to cross off some of my “in progress” games, ones I’ve been working on off and on over the past few months, so I can make room for new ones.

    After sitting on it for months, I finally got around to finishing my second playthough of Lies of P. I went for the “Real boy” ending, and man, I really had to fight the urge to start a third round. I really like the combat and 99% of the characters.

    Cleaned up the rest of the map for Mad Max, with the exception of collecting all the vehicles, since that’s kind of a pain to do. Much like Lies of P, I was a bit tempted to start another playthough lol.

    Maxed out all the glyphs for my Scorcerer in Diablo 4: Season 5, so it’s set aside until I come back from a planned vacation this week. I’m not sure how I’ll handle a new season and a new dlc, AND a new leveling system all at the same time, but I’ll figure it out.



  • I’ve into the goth scene for about two thirds of my life now, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if I’m sad or depressed. Back in college I showed up to class with some elbow length fingerless gloves, and the dude I usually sat next to practically tore them off because he thought I was covering up cutting myself. His defense was “I have a friend who dresses kind of like you, and they were those gloves to cover up scars.” Well, my dude, I am not your friend and you now no longer have a study partner. I sat elsewhere the rest of the semester.




  • Working on a last hurrah for Diablo 4: Season 5, just finishing up max leveling glyphs for my Scorcerer before I completely set it aside for next season.

    Right when I was getting bored playing Sims 3 in my current save, my eldest… disappears. I mean, I saw her die, the Grim Reaper showed up and got her, but that means nothing to this buggy mess of a game. She left no tombstone or anything. So, my current save now is now at four generations, due to an adoption. But, I’m at a point where I want to play other stuff, so this game’s going back on the shelf for a while until I need another reset.

    Finished Amnesia: The Bunker and managed to get a couple achievements out of it. I might do some serious achievement hunting, but I also kind of want to play a new game, so we’ll see how this week goes.




  • Domino’s for me. At my local chains, they’ve been consistently better than Pizza Hut and even the local pizza place. Pizza Hut is cheaper, but their stuff here is kinda bland. And I got food poisoning from them once lol. The local pizza place likes to overcook and burn their stuff; I have no idea how they’re still in business.



  • If it’s any consolation, Amnesia: The Bunker has a different AI than the previous iterations. I mentioned it’s like Alien: Isolation, and the monster works very similarly, like reacting to how much noise you make and stalking which parts of the bunker you’re in. Most items with every run are also randomized, so you can’t memorize where to pick up supplies. (You can also customize the difficulty, which I thought was really cool.) But if you’ve already tried it, then my point is moot lol.


  • The first Layers of Fear was pretty spooky, very PT inspired. The second one was decent too, but not as scary.

    Outlast is the standard I hold walking sim horror games to. I can speedrun through it now since I’ve played it so much, but the first few times were terrifying.

    Some people have mentioned Amnesia, so I’ll throw in the recent iteration with Amnesia: The Bunker. It’s like Alien: Isolation in a WW1 setting.

    Speaking of which, Alien: Isolation is probably no. 1 for me. Between the alien, the androids, and even other people, that game is very stress inducing.



  • I have 100% completed all the season objectives for Diablo 4: Season 5, so I’m setting aside my Necromancer and rebuilding my Sorcerer, just for fun. I thought about rebuilding my Barbarian as well, but after I heard about all the crazy changes coming to season 6 with character progression, I think I’ll hold off for now.

    I finally completed Alien: Isolation on PC with 100% achievements! I’m just gonna… ignore the other achievements that I have left on other platforms, lol. For now.

    A re-re-released version of Doom is on GamePass since Legacy of Rust was released last month, so I’ve been hopping on every now and then to blast my way through demons.
