I wanna go back here at night but I think it’s haunted. Too risky

The lighthouse in question:

Cape Liptrap Lighthouse. It’s a white, concrete tower about 10 meters tall, surrounded by shrubs and a dirt track. Ocean and blue sky in the background.

You wouldn’t interfere with a lighthouse

A sign on the Liptrap Lighthouse. It reads, “THIS MARINE AID TO NAVIGATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE NAVIGATION AT SEA
ANY INTERFERENCE WITH IT COULD ENDANGER LIVES
TRESPASSING ON, OR DESTROYING, DAMAGING, OBSTRUCTING OR INTERFERING WITH THIS MARINE AID TO NAVIGATION IS AN OFFENCE UNDER THE NAVIGATION ACT 2012
OFFENDERS MAY FACE SEVERE PENALTIES”

Shoutout to all those Silksong NPCs I talked to once and then never saw again because I refuse to use the map markers for some reason.

Watched the new PTA movie. Reminded me of the music video for Stylo.

I also found these in the same cupboard 👍

Vinyls for Straight to Hell by The Clash (should I stay or should I go is on the other side), Bizzare Love Triangle by New Order (state of the nation on the other side) and Red Sails in the Sunset by Midnight Oil.

Waow…

Talking Heads - The Name of this Band is Talking Heads (vinyl copy I found in a random cupboard at my grandparents place. They didn’t want it)

It’s a minor roadblock. I remember I spent a whole week trying to beat Sif in Dark Souls 1. I literally didn’t leave Darkroot Garden until I’d killed that dog. Then I felt bad afterwards.

Silksong is officially kicking my ass. I thought I was built different. Nope!

Some of the bosses remind me of this video. I won’t elaborate.

Game is great so far. I love all the weird noises the bugs make.

In Pharloom you need to pay for benches. Hostile architecture is everywhere.

A magpie sits on a grey wooden fence, left of frame. Overcast skies in the background, with patches of blue.

Bit of an ohfuckohfuck moment here. Very humbling.

High angle shot of Rodeo Clown's town, except everything is pink, which is bad. There are no assets in my assets folder, which is also bad. I was not having a good day.
