I’ve been playing Have a Nice Death (Magic Design Studios) daily on easy mode, and I still can’t beat the game. There are like half the enemies with less health and they do less moves. Same with the bosses. And I still can’t beat the goddamn game. I can get through the first three worlds… Continue Reading
The boys are back in town! RKG boys, that is. Retry Elden Ring, Season/Series 2 premiered today–and they gave us producers an additional episode. They premiered it at 1 p.m. my time, which meant I had to skip the first half hour because I had Taiji. Once I hopped into the Discord, it was so… Continue Reading
Someone in the RKG Discord mentioned Enotria: The Last Song (Jyamma Games), a soulslike (dare I say a Souls clone?) that has a demo now on Steam. Apparently, a beefy demo (like eight hours long!). It’s set in an Italianesque world (with Italian folklore), which is an interesting change from the usual dreary medeival settings… Continue Reading
I’m writing another post about streaming becasue why not? In the last post, I allowed myself to be distracted by the new FromSoft trailer because how the hell could I not be?! Funnily, I’m stlil not going as hard into it as I did with the last trailer, albeit a month late. I’m a weirdo… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about gate-keeping in gaming communities. Oh, not directly, but it was there. I was talking about the second series of Retry Elden Ring for RKG and how there is a small, but very vocal sub-section of the community who just want to bitch about how RORY IZ PLAYIN’ GAEM… Continue Reading
I’m taking a break from talking about my mental healt because something else came to mind. The RKG boys have been spoiling us with trailers for Season/Series 2, which starts on Saturday. The first thing they gave us was an almost-twelve-hour video of all the bosses Rory has killed in the first season. It’s a… Continue Reading
Hi. This is part two on my quick look at Have a Nice Death (Magic Design Studios). Will there be more? Maybe. Here is post one in which I talk about the basics and then wander off as I tend to do. I just played a few rounds, and–well, let me put it this way.… Continue Reading
I am looking for a new game, and Ian suggested Have a Nice Death (Magic Design Studios) on Game Pass. It’s a 2D roguelike-lite (my term for any game that is like Binding of Isaac) in which–wait. First of all, I thought I had played the demo for the game, but it was another game… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was musing about what makes a good soulslike along with why i’m fine with Elden Ring being open world Dark Souls IV. I think that FromSoft is now in an interesting time because for a decade, they were flying under the radar and considered a genre-defining developer. They were never… Continue Reading
I want to talk about soulslikes in general beacuse I just tried two that fell short of what I’m looking for in one. Those are Another Crab’s Treasure (Aggro Crab), also known as SeKrilo (at least in my head) and Tails of Iron (Odd Bug Studio). Both were heavily influenced by From games, specifically Sekiro.… Continue Reading
