Inspired by the TV show I played #TheLastofUs for the second time and the first time for the DLC and remastered version.
Just like Uncharted, the characters feel real even in an unreal environment and this is what makes Naughty Dog's games great. I'm looking forward to Part 2 and Intergalactic.

The Halloween pick this year was The Evil Within. Ripe with PS3 energy, it reminded me of Alone in the Dark (2008), Silent Hill: Homecoming and, of course, Resident Evil 4. Nicely surreal in parts but feels like it goes on for just a little bit too long.

Let the Christmas baking begin!
It's been a busy weekend making egg nog and Christmas fruitcake so they can age in time for the big day. Two bottles of brandy were sacrificed for this noble endeavour.

Fallout 2 is bigger and better than the first game in a lot of ways but the fetch quests can start to drag by the 20 hour mark. Nothing that can't be fixed by unleashing a modified FEV on some Enclave.

In honour of Fallout Day I played the Interplay original Fallout. It was great seeing the origins of the themes that run through the whole series but most of all I love these 90s plasticine looking talking heads.

Successful adventure to Shadow Baking in Adelaide today yielded a pandan and coconut brioche, an iced vovo croissant and mushroom and cheese croissant.
Not a bad replacement for The Sugar Man now that it's shifted gears.

5 years, a new DLC and a new PC later I replayed #Cyberpunk2077. The 2.0 patch makes it feel like a finished game and addressed some of my original disappointments. The story doesn't hit as hard the second time but I enjoyed it. Four photos aren't enough to convey how picturesque it is.

I played The Order: 1886 earlier this year and fell in love with its intense attention to detail in world building and environment both and also its fantastic characters.
Deeply saddened by the prospect of no sequels, I have consoled myself with the hard to find art book.

This week was the old faithful banana bread recipe with dark chocolate, walnuts and, for a bit extra, with biscoff. It actually worked really well and too sweet.
Whoever called this bread wasn't fooling anyone.

The famous Grandma Ople apple pie recipe doesn't disappoint. I made some adjustments by adding the usual pie spices, browned butter, brandy and using Claire Saffitz's flaky pie dough recipe.
I love eating pie but when baking I'm usually discouraged by they labour intensive nature.

Phantasy Star Nova wraps up my #PhantasyStar series playthrough with style. It became my favourite after the original quadrilogy with it's action combat borrowed from Phantasy Star Online 2. It's a real shame this was a Japan only release. The fan translation covers a lot but is incomplete.

Prey (2017) is such a comfy game. Like all the older sandbox games from Arkane and Bethesda, it speaks to my inner desire to loot every nook and cranny then upgrade myself to god-like levels. The locations are gorgeously sleek, retro futuristic and make any screenshot a painting.

#PhantasyStar Portable 2 brings a much needed revamp to mechanics and the Japan only release of PSP2 Infinity adds a new episode, new Deuman race, full voice acting and more. It's greatly improves on the last few entries but it doesn't make up for the dull reused missions.

Too many lemons means lemon curd and lemon (poppyseed) loaf cake.
It might as well be called tres limones. There's lemon in it, on it and soaking it. And I put the curd in it. Cuatro limones? This is peak lemon.

MGS: Peace Walker may be one of my favourites of the series. It's cheesy, silly and nostalgic. The short fun missions, collecting soldiers like pokemon, building up Mother Base and listening to Miller's shenanigans in the briefing tapes make this all a fantastic time.

100 Hour Brownies are probably the most chocolatey and fudgey brownies I've made so far. In total they're packed over 600g of dark chocolate.
If you're patient they are worth the wait.

I've eaten more oranges this year than any other due to a good harvest in my little tree.
Some of this bounty of oranges went into this whole orange cake. It's deliciously moist and best served drowned in fresh cream.

Another #PhantasyStar finished with Phantasy Star Portable (2009) on PSP.
This follows on from the PS2 PSU games with an even cheesier story and while it's good for some sort bouts, it's doesn't do anything new worth mentioning so it's a little disappointing.

This weekend was Remnant: From the Ashes (PC). It felt more like a third person Diablolike than the Gunsouls I expected. I really loved the art design (and was sad there wasn't an art book) but I found the procedurally generated maps made each area feel more generic rather than unique.

I put the slap down on the final Night Lord in #Nightreign, but I'm not quite done with it. I like that #FromSoftware are trying something new though I find Nightreign teeters between addictive and repetitive. Despite that I'm still looking forward to the much needed added content later this year.

In the waiting room for #Nightreign I played Resident Evil 3 (2020) this week. The original was my favourite and this has been a totally acceptable action packed adventure with "Nemesis For Babies" but with so many things missing it only makes me want to reply the original instead.
