IM GOING TO BE INSUFFERABLE ABOUT THIS UNTIL RELEASE IS JESSE OK??? IS JESSE OK REMEDY? IS JESSE FUCKING OK!?!?!

That said as much as I theoretically do dig playing as Dylan since I assume this will be significantly less Oldest House contained, and that in itself is a masterful usage of same universe different place by using the untapped powers of a protagonist who was passed over for the role they were groomed for and divorcing from the very much alive setting that went "I like this sibling better" and was ultimately possessed by the invading force and now has to relearn to live on his own terms... I want to play as Jesse,,,, where is girl,,,,

That reticence aside this is so fucking hype to me you don't even know. It's so fucking weird. Look at the patterns!!!!

Me last time, I've been sleeping consistently eight hours through. Me the last three nights, five hours, four hours, two hours (💀). I was microwaving Control enough to have had dreams about it, some ThoughtsTM after spinning it a whole bunch

orange peel )

I really gotta find a way to play Firebreak... rattles Remedy why did you have to make this co-op mandatory with a set number of people.

Let's start with the positive... I beat base Hollow Knight. 🎉🥳

Final boss introspective, or, ''I wish I could SEE'' )

In less positive news, Overwatch changed its aim assist for controllers with the launch of season 20. I swear whenever they remember console exists they simply screw us over )

Either way, I really could have done without having to deliberately set my brain off to find out what it can tolerate... this is a game I've played every day I've had ME, almost, I'm very used to it, I have long practice at what vfx I have to be careful with and things I just don't see anymore. Now everything is like a micro aggression on my brain, like it's learning it new, and if it were new it would have long led to dealbreaker. I do not want the thing that makes my brain settle and burn less on a bad day with visual familiarity to do the opposite of that.

Ashe skins are cute though. I love her. I miss her. I've been sleeping consistent eight hours but also overall not enough and had to pass on furniture getting this week, so I will attempt to do some work on finalising the rewrites for chapter 8 of undercoverfic through the weekend at the very least...

I am almost out of things to do in Hollow Knight.

reaching the end of the game )

Almost done with Mogtomes: just those that can do everything that just need next week's weekly challenge to top them off and I'll be finished. I have a few alts that got some stuff this week that, despite having enough for Gwiber, I may still do anyway; extra dogs never went amiss. And although Prae takes an age, I have to hang up laundry tomorrow, and it's always a good time to do it in...

Drives are also done! I got lucky and had a win streak today so I only had to play three games to hit the last tier for points, which was good, because I was envisioning being just short if I had lost one and having to play many more to bridge what would have been a twenty score gap. I didn't quite make it back into Legend on tank, but I'm one game off it, and kept encountering a bug where I was not receiving compensation on losses so was just pingponging the same -80, +80 points over and over... small indie game and all that, Stadium has so many bugs even now... but I am not too worried about it, honestly. I played a lot in weeks 2-6 and kind of burnt myself out, so I've been glad to take it easy the end of last week and now the rest of this one before it starts over again. And people are really grumpy during Drives, lmao. My D.Va winrate went from 2-10 in BO5 to something like 50-30 in BO7, so that's my tanking comeback story.

I have 19515 comp points now, so I'm well on my way to getting the 27,000 I wanted for golds for all women. If we get bonus Drive points next season for the end of the competitive year, I'll probably get galactic on Moira and Mei, since they contributed to stadium gains to get me there.

Season 20 next week. Ashe is getting three (three!!) new skins next season, she has been very loved lately. One is heist themed with an animal mask, either a snake or a large cat, and she has soooooo many beautiful tattoos, another she's a cyber bunny because why not, and the third is a festive skin from official art from many years ago that never got made but Mercy's did and now it's finally real. And also has more art to go with it. Look at my girl who's happy and full of whimsy.



But wait. Who is she shopping for gifts for in this official art? Cassidy, because they're always connected and perhaps if they made amends she would, and...



Widowmaker.

Thank you for the crumbs T4 I will cherish them always.

The lengths to avoid spider hell

Whilst playing Hollow Knight I've been loosely following a guide about which area to go to next, because a good chunk of the start of this game is manoeuvring yourself around to get abilities so you can actually do stuff, and to get other abilities you need x ability first, etc. I'll also open up a map to figure out where map guy is to buy the map from because I hate not being able to see a minimap, it's a dealbreaker, but the internet solves that one decently.

None of the bugs in the Silksong lp I watched bothered me. There were a few in Hollow Knight that did, the most egregious being Deepnest's spiders. The problem is they run across the foreground by the camera in front of Ghost, in the player's plane of view, so it's an exercise of being spider jumpscared, and if you have a crippling spider phobia...

Yesterday I finished the area that gave me the Crystal Heart, which allows you to fly horizontally and cross large gaps until you hit an obstacle. Neat. Where next? Deepnest, the walkthrough said.

Hell no, said I.

Here's what I did today instead of going to Deepnest.

I have discovered I can play this game for several hours if I use compression gloves which is how I played it for seven hours today. Woops )
