Oryx and crake had been optioned and was getting an adaptation developed, but I think it’s currently in development hell. It might get revived since the handmaid’s tale show was kind of popular. But the boat might have sailed on that.

I’ve had another long work week, and hopefully my weeks will be back down to 4 work days a week for a while now.

Been playing Laika aged in blood mostly. It’s like what if trials had guns, was about furries, and also was a Metroidvania. It has an interesting mix of trials repeating a path until you can handle it, where part of the challenge is also firing bullets into bird skills at just the right time. The world is really well realized and the art is amazing with phenomenal music to accompany you.

I mean there’s some old school twitch communities that kind of ironically love bubsy, but even they know that bubsy is a trash game and the the sequels are worse by far.

The safes in a room can always be solved with everything within the room. There is one that you need outside knowledge to open, but there is rules all those safes follow that allow you figure things out slightly better. You’ll slowly learn the hints to help you figure out those safes.

For the boudoir specifically I’ll say do not think hard about it. What’s in the room, how does that become a 4 digit code?

The schoolhouse rooms are really great at providing you a huge amount of clues to many of the puzzles of the game. Some of them present alot of information that can be difficult to parse, don’t try to memorize it all at this moment but be aware it. Some of the final classrooms are very dense so if you want to spend time learning it all you may need an hour to try and absorb it.

The passageway is a tricky room, it’s useful, but very expensive at 2 gems, and never provides anything other than power routing. I’d say use it sparingly unless you’re very flush with gems. The resources become more manageable as you learn more of the manor and solve some puzzles.

The number 8? Might be important. This game is kind of about trying to remember lots of things and trying to smash them all to complete the proverbial picture. Alternatively keep a notebook and try to read through it and see if that helps you piece things together.

Haha yeah very fair, it’s like I’ve gathered thousands of dollars in my exploring so it definitely has removed any trouble I could potentially run into and I could find us buying a new life super easily.

It is immaculately built, and I wish I cared more about the story. But I did spend over a hundred hours exploring the world in chapter 2

So it clearly did something really really good to keep me there for so long.

That logic sounds good to me, you should definitely follow through on it. I’ll say linking rooms with power is probably more rng than many people want to deal with, so if you find an upgrade disk to give a room power, you may want to take it.

There is some puzzles later that are crazy involved but they aren’t the room puzzles. Most of the room puzzles are fairly simple. Ill say this about the sheet music and other books. You might want to take a picture of every page, and check them all with a magnifying glass.

Many things have multiple answers pointing to them though, and eventually you can often find an outright explanation for something’s if you explore enough.

It’s very light on content now, 4 classes, 2 magic and 2 physical. I haven’t played through it all yet (the work has kept me busy as mentioned) but I think I’m almost done with it after ten hours on my first character. But it has a good feel to it, not fast, fairly slow. I really adore the bright colors of the game which it feels like no hack n slash games ever do so it’s lovely to have bright color while I smack some big crab people.

It is going to double in price once they near release, so buying it early might be worth it if you know you’ll get it later.

It’s been a rough weeks 6 days in a row of work after my vacation ended so just played a little of titan quest 2.

I started Laika aged in blood, and it is a very cool furry motorcycle Metroid/dark souls type games where front and back flips are core skills for reloading your guns and abilities. I’m eager to play some more but have been wiped out from work.

How much hints do you want?

I’ll say the usual visit every room you can, ideally with the magnifying glass to examine documents and pictures more closely.

Some of the room puzzles are also less involved than you might expect, but getting power to them might be harder than anything.

The bit that she offered it up for no reason is pretty funny though. Wasn’t even asked a question. Does she even understand what a deposition is?

It’s good, a little different, a tiny amount of customization on skills. Fairly slow paced which I prefer in my hack and slash games.

It does have pre built maps that do not change. So that is the same.

Got my new PC setup, and I’ve been playing witchfire and titan quest 2. Holy hell I forgot how fucked my wrists are are intense mouse clicking games I had to take two days to rest afterwards. And am trying to get my setup as ergonomic as possible to mitigate it.

Also finished the main campaign of horizon forbidden west. It is a competent open world game with I’d say a fun enough story, that I’m not sure they’ll be able to land in the next game. But it’s been good so far so I’ll probably check it out when it shows up on the ps6.

It’s the part that he doesn’t seem to get, he wants to live forever, but he’s basically subsistence living on medical treatments and never actually does anything. Doesn’t eat anything fancy, or even fun, doesn’t seem to hang out with anyone except his doctors and his son who he totally isn’t growing for spare parts.

It’s like he missed the part about living a life worth living. Have some damn fun my guy. And pissing blue. That ain’t it.

Mostly been playing horizon forbidden west, I’m nearing the end? Maybe? I have to get to ruined san Francisco, which I assume will suddenly give me like 15 more hours. Just been grinding out legendary upgrades which aren’t too hard once to settle in to get them. But you can’t just organically farm them like with the gear before it, because it’s just the big robots and their rare parts and lots of them too.

Just bought a new PC at long last, so I’ll see if there’s anything beefy worth running on the computer.

Just need a picture of the Ryan Gosling movie where he dates a doll, Lars and the Real Girl, iirc.

But that’s my cat’s drinking water there!

Lol I wish; the game basically just regards it as a murder hobo play through at a certain point, given almost everything is corporate at a certain point.

I remember killing every corporate stooge I encountered to the point the fancy planet become purely hostile to me and I had to kill everyone I ran across.
