Was getting an I/O Device Error on my shiny new external SSD, but I think the issue was just the crummy cable included in box.
Always test your cables people! And Samsung: spend the extra $$ and get good cables. You'll save money long term on tech support and returns.

Silksong suffers from what I call "Prepare to Die Syndrome."
Players are primed to expect a certain level of challenge, so when they reach a particularly difficult section, they assume that's just how the game is, and elect to bash their head against a wall for an hour and end up frustrated.

Pretty impressed with this 30 Minute Fantasy kit. Pictured is just the base model without the fantasy armor. Solid and straightforward build, extremely posable. Hopefully the Knight armor won't limit his articulation too much!

I'm not much of a drinker, so my recommendations don't mean much, but I've really been enjoying this vermouth.

PRISON OF HUSKS is in the STEAM SCREAM FEST!
Explore a beautiful world of forgotten dolls in the demo. Find the horrors that wander the lonely places in my retro-soulslike!

Time for the annual tradition! How many poppies can I lose before November 11th?
Current count: one, worked loose on a morning walk

For the life of me, I will never understand the appeal of corpo IP crossovers. The Simpsons in Fortnite! I cannot imagine a product more divorced from any of the aspects of the show I enjoyed.

Replaying Hollow Knight 'cause I was still hungry after Silksong and... hot take, but I do not think Nightmare King Grimm is a very good fight.
He is fast, punishing, and restrictive. He does X, you MUST respond with Y, or you'll take damage, sometimes twice; it's wholly responsive action.

At some point every Survival/Crafting game inevitably turns into a Warehouse Management Simulator as your base becomes overwhelmed with storage chests.

Also sometimes I read something so bad I get mad.

As much as I love Hollow Knight and Silksong, I do hope that Team Cherry's next game is something completely different.

Made a conscious effort this summer to read more outdoors (public gardens; waterfront) and the change of scenery really does make a huge difference to the reading experience.

Protip: if you have to write a thousand word rambling diatribe of a tumblr post in order to 'prove' a minor celebrity is a secret bigot - you've got nothing.
compare and contrast to Jeepers Kreepers Rowling, whose bigotry is easily demonstrated by simply linking to any number of her tweets.

Google is such a piece of shit. I search "luggage + my city" then click on maps to find, you know, luggage stores near me.
BUT when I clicked the map tab, it googles again, this time with the search term "Bentley" so only their local store shows up on my map. Fuck off.
and fuck you too Bentley.
