Howdy!

I mostly post goofy videogame clips. I also like chatting about games, whenever an interesting topic comes up.

I'm doing stuff with Godot, but I rarely post about it. I also like drawing, but I often feel discouraged to do it more.

I am kinda sick of seeing this attitude of being hostile towards "computer nerds", particularly in the #Linux space in recent years. Anytime something isn't trivially easy to resolve or requires a little bit of reading a manual or doesn't work as expected (i.e. as it does on windows) there is whining about how we hate "normal people" (garbage term btw) and are just a bunch of antisocial losers. Instead of behaving shitty, you could make an effort to actually learn the new environment that YOU chose to get into. Hells you can even ask us for help, and I'm certain some will. But if you instead decide to be an ass, please just stay on windows.

It's been 4 years since the last time, but I've been replaying A Hat in Time! It helped me through a rough patch back then, and I was getting a LOT of mileage out of the photo mode haha. This playthrough isn't any different really, there is just so much cool stuff to take pictures of!

This one was fun to perform. I feel like I am picking up an entirely new skill set in this game, that I didn't even realize was there all this time haha.

@Madic@chaos.social Because I don't want to have to deal with steam when I am not playing a steam game. Also because the way that steam has a separate proton prefix for each game is kinda annoying and makes it very easy to accidentally delete your save files. Also because that's no fun.

So I've been playing a lot of games in Proton outside of steam and wrote my own script to make launching them easier. It does the bare minimum of launching both the Steam Linux Runtime and ProtonGE, but it does so in one easily invokable command. Makes it very uncomplicated to make desktop shortcuts for. All games use the same proton prefix (which resides in ~/.launch_proton)

One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to pass commandline arguments to the windows app, but maybe in the future haha.

So a funny thing I learned about this cutscene today: When Havelock shoots his pistol, the bottles he aims at do actually explode, even when they are not on camera! However, you can move them before the cutscene starts and they will still break haha. I tried using that to blow up a whale oil barrel, but unfortunately that didn't work out, the springrazor traps don't trigger in cutscenes it would seem. Damn those developers and their failsafes :cat_sip:.

@kirrus@chocolate-teapot.uk Stealth becomes a lot easier once you realize how VERTICAL all the levels are. Most of the time you can just chill above enemies without them ever being able to see you. The most straight forward path is usually the hardest.

Replying to @kirrus@chocolate-teapot.uk
@kirrus@chocolate-teapot.uk I pretty much disagree almost entirely. You can actually get away with quite a lot of killing and still get the Low Chaos ending. You don't need to play a perfect Ghost playthrough at all, it's a huge misconception that has endured for almost 15 years. High Chaos only triggers if you kill without restraint and empty out entire levels of enemies, at which point I think it is completely fair for the story to reflect that. I also disagree that stealth is a slog, it is of course naturally slower, requires patience and a good sense of navigation, but like ... any good stealth game will be like this, that is what the entire genre is about. And Dishonored has quite a lot of tools to make stealth a lot easier, particularly blink.

So Raphael Colantonio and some other Arkane devs have been playing through Dishonored and just chatting about the game and its development, and it was enough to give me an itch for the game again haha. I think my goal for this playthrough is to be silly and creative with killing guards. We'll see how it goes. I doubt I'll get anywhere near as crazy as StealthGamerBR but I'll try to have some fun haha.

I am so annoyed, not a single day goes by on fedi anymore, that I don't end up having to block some AI shill. It's getting fucking tiring.

So I got into Vanquish recently. It is I think one of the strangest blends of genres I've seen. On one hand it's an early 2010s shooter with cover mechanics, regenerating health and military blah blah dialogue, on the other ... you can just zoom around and shoot in slow motion and generally feels like a kind of spiritual predecessor to Metal Gear Rising. It's a game that I would love to see revisited in the modern day, mostly to strip the weird cover mechanic out and make it even more crazy mobile haha.

So yesterday she beat the game. It was mostly just finishing up some leftover bosses, the hardest of which was Sif. Not because she died a lot though.

She knew from the start, that she would have to kill Sif at some point and was not looking forward to it at all, because she loves dogs a LOT. She avoided that fight for as long as possible.

After going through the Artorias DLC and rescuing a young wolf from the Abyss, seeing Sif recognize her, yet still fight her made what was about to come weigh so much heavier. By the time Sif was limping and weakly falling over, she was full on breaking out crying and feeling so sorry for what she had to do to Artorias's loyal companion. She needed to put down the game for a while after that.

She told me after, that the worst thing was, that it wasn't even much of a fight at all, she didn't need to use Estus even once. It was not a boss fight, it was a tragedy.

I am also really glad the boar helmet dropped when she killed the first one you encounter at Undead Burg (it only has a 20% chance to drop). In our TTRPG campaign we have a character called "Her Majesty", who is a baby boar with the magical ability to summon phantoms to protect her. One of the phantoms she summoned was Sir Gael, a knight from the past whose sworn duty was to protect Her Majesty, who he was led to believe was a pig. The party befriended the boar and learned how to communicate with her through her knight and has become a dear pet to my girlfriend's character. When she came to visit I gifted her a small boar plushy, which she has fallen in love with immediately and cuddles with every day since. :cat_heart:

Another week, another girlfriend Dark Souls update:

After having a bit of a rough time with the crystal cave, we decided to do the DLC before taking on Sif, to maximize emotional damage for that particular fight.

What I did not expect was for her to first try both Artorias AND fucking Kalameet, usually one of the toughest bosses in the game. It took ten minutes of careful tortoising behind the most ridiculous shield in the game, a lot of patience, and a REALLY close call, but the dragon finally fell. It was a blast to watch it happen.

We are probably gonna finish the game today, there is pretty much only a couple bosses left. It has been quite a journey watching her grow from stumbling around with a basic long sword to a badass boar knight. I'm a little sad it's gonna be over soon. To me the first Dark Souls is special, and you can only ever have one first time with it, but I am glad I was around for hers haha.

@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza When I got my New 3DS, I totally expected to just ignore the 3D as a pointless gimmick, but when I actually saw it in action I just kinda fell in love with it haha. I had to start using it at half strength at first, but now I am used to it more and can push it all the way. Bravely Default has some shots that just look GORGEOUS in 3D.
