Dark/Demon Souls. Elden Ring

Rolling to evade incoming enemy attack.

Always thought it being a strange way to do this. Bloodborne and Sekiro dodges seem more realistic.

Hope Vaati explains.

Still not finished Signalis… struggling a bit with free time for gaming. Just wanted to say, I do play games for story and/or atmosphere. Like watching a movie, and I do like my movies to have a story or atmosphere.

I hated the gameplay (for being very easy) and the story was meh on Death Stranding, but the mood and the feel of that game won me over, so I finished it and even went back to try 100%ing it.

My job makes me having social interactions for most of my day, so a game that gave me the feeling of isolation and loneliness like Death Stranding 2 or 3 hours before sleeping was kind of pensive at the time. Few weeks after finishing the game, Covid happened, and since then I had few instances of isolation IRL, and it wasn’t nearly as introspective as Death Stranding. So I look fondly on that game even tho all the gaming aspects of it were boring IMO. Just the atmosphere was great.

So yeah, I can consume any media if the atmosphere and/or story is enjoyable or challenging (in a positive way)

I will check the video, I like video essays.

It’s not game breaking. the clunkiness shows in combat situations, but you can just do ‘dark souls run past the enemies’ in most cases. I like this game for the atmosphere and story mostly.

I wasn’t a big fan of the old RE games (could never get used to fixed cameras), but Signalis works for me. Still haven’t finished it, free time seems precious commodity these days, but come the next weekend I’ll hopefully definitely will have the time to continue the game.

Signalis (on Switch)

The music, the sounds, the visuals create a perfect mood. I’m not far into the story, but for now it’s very intriguing. One of the few games where I don’t mind the backtracking. Despite the retro look, the game is very immersive.

There is some clunkiness tho. Might be better on a PC.

If you like sci-fi with a bit horror, ambiguous storytelling, gloomy atmosphere, try it.

Just finished ‘The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet’ by Becky Chambers - quite fun space opera (if you like Firefly etc.), I’ll definitely pick up the rest of the series at one point.

Started reading ‘They Never Learn’ by Layne Fargo - Starts interesting, I feel I’ll finish this one.

After that I will definitely start reading ‘All Systems Red’ by Martha Wells - I’ve been hearing about ‘Murderbot Diaries’ and how good they are for years now…

I like reading scifi most, but always try to squeeze some other genre in between.

I hope you fucking die, Harley Jarvis!

Ahoy matey. Quite a conundrum ya have there. Th’ winds be fair in times like this… may yer briny deep be bountiful!

I didn’t. It’s my IRL nickname. It means ‘short circuit’ (as in ‘easily frustrated’). I’m the opposite of it, I’m the calmest person on this planet. My friends thought it would be funny. (the full word spells ‘Kurzschluss’)

Managing to squeeze at least one excursion on Hoxxes IV every morning before my gf wakes up.

It’s just social credit. Why care?

I don’t mind it. I just think we all should value scientific research into astronomy, no matter the volume of interest, more than marketing strategies for a product, be it art or not. I might be wrong tho…

It’s rather tragic that a tribute band called Dark Star gets priority over a scientific Dark Star. I don’t know if it’s because more people search for the band or because this search engine is trying to sell you albums by this band…

Youtube is so aesthetically and functionally unappealing nowadays, I lose interest in browsing even my own subs. I don’t care what users “like me” are watching nor what I “might like”. The only way to see my subs vids is with Piped.
