23. Kirby's Dream Land KIRBY Breezy NES-style romp across five stages with accompanying bosses, culminating in fighting DeDeDe in a boxing ring, for some reason. I have a modded GBC and it's fun messing with screen filters. Give me pink Kirb over spinach Kirb. 7
22. Maximo: Ghosts to Glory New entrant on my "all-time favorite PS2 titles" list Fun action-platformer with tough enemies, great structure and level design, fun power ups, and options to smite the undead Lots of rewarding secrets to find Only criticism is the camera and unwieldy platforming 9
Reading a paperback version of Mystery by Peter Straub. This is one of the endpapers. 35 years later and the statistic is about the same! Dunno if that's good or bad.
Been awhile since I participated in #ScanlineSunday. Here's Maximo: Ghosts to Glory for PlayStation 2. #retrogaming #ps2 #crt #scanlines
Half marathon #2 complete! Hit my B goal of 1:45:00. Actual time was 1:43:06 / 7:52 -- course was half mile longer than it should have been 💀 Race felt great despite the heat and humidity. Never felt like I bonked, but that extra half mile stunk. #halfmarathon #running #runsky #roadrunning #strava
don't be so lazy as to reply to recruiters on LinkedIn with AI-written crap. Just say "yeah, I'm interested."
21. Cairn What if Baby Steps but climb mountain with ALL four limbs? Cairn is beautiful. Emotional, challenging, unsubtle in its themes Climbing mechanics/survival systems are spectacular. Limited cast feels alive. Never feels unfair Quite unoptimized. Dips below 30 FPS constantly. 8.5
Some birthday presents to myself. Second lobe piercing, also found Parasite Eve CIB at the local game shop!
20. Devil May Cry V After putting it off for 6+ years... it's uneven A+ (SS?) combat, looks amazing, characters/performances carry, music rocks, great variety in tackling challenges 3 PC's unideal (uneven mission distribution), meh story, uninspired environments/levels past midpoint, etc 7.5
VP of Engineering at Epic Games has stepped down, as posted on LinkedIn. He's been instrumental in shaping Unreal Engine since UE3.
In other news, my wife got me these cool earrings modeled after Clive's in Final Fantasy 16
19. Vampire Crawlers Maybe the best roguelite I've played? Didn't care for V. Survivors, but this is way more up my alley Super sticky and it doesn't take forever to beat (18 hours) It's super fun to get a broken build and melt enemy waves Crawler abilities are varied and fun to mix/match 9.5
