www.backloggd.com/u/LordDarias... Made a list discussing my favourite cheese strats

I think I want to go back in time and shoot whichever writer came up with the idea of the whole "multiverse/multiple dimensions" concept in scifi in the head. Sure wed lose out on some stories I love but I think overall itd be worth it to get rid of the most tiresome, story murdering trope ever

If I had any musical talent whatsoever Id make a song of appreciation for day old rice

I know nobody gives a shit, and Im sure this will some day be used against me in court, but I had a very bizarre dream tonight. (NSFW warning ig) It was at some kind of house party, but I entered a room where a disheveled looking naked man was having violent sex with another man whilst wearing what

took a while since i wanted to cull down my aggressiveness (which I'll check later in case it was still Too Much) and sort my feelings, but here it is: 10 games where I treat them like Peter treats The Godfather backloggd.com/u/BlazingWat...

I know this is up there with saying youre close to retirement in a cop movie in terms of tempting fate, but things are turning around for me. Now, thankfully I am privileged enough that when I was doing poorly my safety/needs etc werent in jeopardy, but it feels like Im finally able to actually

Huh, a dumb list I wrote as a joke got past the 100 likes mark, thats a new one. Glad people liked it

Thanks pharaoh akhenaten, I had not considered that

You ever think about how the word robot comes from a czech word meaning essentially serf or indentured servant (something along those lines)? If we ever get a true AI that fact might get a bit awkward, so Im going to get ahead of it by declaring the word to be cringe and offensive so Ill be spared

Played a bit of Shogun 2, an old favourite. Really nails that "1 more turn" dynamic of strategy games. Its also good that defensive sieges are so incredibly powerful cause playing as a trickier campaign like the ikko ikki/hattori really helps even the odds. Finally getting the enemy to rout is great

One annoyance I hadnt predicted from living in a big city now, was having to deal with stupid dumbass canvassers and other people whose job it is to try and sell me shit when Im trying to walk somewhere on the street. Im sure it sucks to work as that, but also, I fucking hate it!

I really liked Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire, but uhh Imma wait for a sale on this one, and knowing Obsidian, a few patches and/or performance and bugfixing mods a few months down the line.

I've gotten praise for the system / scenario / structure model I've used in my previous articles, but I've never written a dedicated piece on the concept itself. as my first new article on my personal site, I decided it was the perfect starting point. link below!

www.backloggd.com/u/LordDarias... Philosophere and great thinkers have pondered this question and agonized about its implications for centuries...No longer! I have the definitive answer to this mystery

This April it's the 5 year anniversary of In Other Waters (more on that later 😘) so I've been thinking about the game a lot. One of the things I am happiest with its the systemic little stalk scraper who plays about on the title screen, eating, exploring, and getting scared off by a signal stalk.

Started another playthrough of Prey (Preythrough?) this time a no neuromods run to get the achievement and for the challenge itself obviously. Unfortunately I soon realized I had left the Prey hardcore mode mod installed so its turning into an even greater cock and ball torture than usual

The secretary of the progatonist Morgan Yu in the game Prey has the password "OMGHotboss" to his computer. This implies he's into the protagonist, but this is always the case regardless of the gender of Morgan (can be male or female based off player choice) so he's a Schrödinger's Bisexual

Making generalisations is bad and all that, but 99% of the time when Ive seen someone run through a red light, cut across 3 lanes without even putting on the turn signals or otherwise dangerous shows of contempt for driving laws, its been some dickhead in a BMW, Audi or Mercedes

2.2% you say www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeLC...

as I continue to fall in love with the strider reboot, I wanted to look back on the original arcade title. it's a maligned experience in many ways, but one that plays with the player's movement tools in a way few of its contemporaries did. link below!

Fairly basic list but I felt like making it for fun idk www.backloggd.com/u/LordDarias...

Short article about some of the advantages of non-combat action games over combat ones. Mainly just food for thought hotpockethpe.neocities.org/essays/advof...
