me today: im actually having so much fun with silksong. i am rewarded by my patience and defensive playstyle. i am one with the bug.

the forum gauntlet in high halls:

anyway i am loving this game. it's frustrating as hell at times but feeling like a beginner again and mastering something new has been very rewarding. in hk i feel i barely scratched the surface of different builds for different circumstances and here i get so much more expression in my play. fun!!!

i also think that the shard economy isn't exactly sustainable for boss runs (not a critique tbc). burning a hundred shards on a failed run is brutal. by unequiping tools and just forcing myself to play defensive im able to internalize attack patterns much more consistently

i find that tools are usually more helpful to me in gauntlets or in general exploration

i think that when i go into a boss and i'm too focused on when to deploy my tools, it distracts me from reading attack indicators and i get punished for it (especially with the frequency of 2 damage attacks)

every single time i have struggled with a boss in silksong (im talking at least 20+ runs failed) i decide to do a toolless run and every single time i beat them

this has worked for some of the hardest bosses i've faced: phantom, last judge, the disgraced chef

“Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared.”

Finally got some of the extra goodies framed from @lostincult.co.uk’s Immortality Design Works. An extremely special game and an experience playing I’ll never forget.

New Side Story. The actual post on the website (linked) has very important visual information for a very tortured metaphor I was trying to make about Endless Legend 2's muddiness compared to the crispness of the first.

Friends at the Table @friends-table.bsky.social · 7d

New Side Story! Austin, Dre, and Keith played Endless Legend 2, the follow up to one of the all time great fantasy 4X games. And then, after talking about that for almost a full episode length, they just keep talking.

i find it really disappointing that THE SMASHING MACHINE performed so poorly this past weekend. i think it's a remarkable film and without a doubt, the rock as mark kerr is a performance to be witnessed

DiscussingFilm @discussingfilm.net · 8d

Dwayne Johnson speaks out on ‘THE SMASHING MACHINE’ being the lowest grossing opening weekend of his career:

“In our storytelling world, you can’t control box office results — but what I realized you can control is your performance, your commitment to disappear & go elsewhere”
