Alright well unfortunately I’ve tried all of the regular things and obs just refuses to cooperate. Going to have to cancel stream for today and try and figure out why it’s refusing to not crash after nothing has changed.

Alright well since changing nothing since my last stream OBS has decided it cant even open without crashing so stream will be delayed a bit till i figure this out.

Going to be loading up the second Lunar RPG in a short bit. So come hang out and watch me play this roughly 30 hour long game in its entirety. Never played this one before either. More 90's anime RPG should be great. So many cut scenes in the first. www.twitch.tv/duskmantlevt

Due to technical difficulties yesterday I ended up playing Lunar: Silver Star Story instead of Expedition 33.
I'd never played this game before and it wasn't bad at all. It was super simple and reeked of the 90's. Fun, short, and invoked nostalgia.

Alright well it turns out the steam version of clair obscur runs like absolute garbage. Should have realized this. I don't have the ability to deal with that right now.
So instead we will go through lunar: silver star story. Let's try this again! www.twitch.tv/duskmantlevt

Finished up the BL visual novel Togainu No Chi. It was fairly fun mostly due do to how edgy it was. Motomi was easily my favourite character, with Keisuke being my most disliked.
Now it's on to the next BL read with the visual novel paradise. wish me luck.

Fantastic game, the remakes of 2 and 3 are really special stuff. highly recommend.

Something I've seen a lot lately.
People will post "This manga is amazing you need to check it out!" and then not actually put the name of it anywhere. Dozens of these types of posts and not a single title anywhere to be seen.
Please don't do this to me, I want to know!

Finished up the first route for the BL visual novel no, thank you!!!
That was a lot. Things happened. For some reason the steam version has uncensored sex scenes? And not just a few, the first route had 8 or 9 of them.
Will move on to aloof glasses man route tomorrow.

There’s a good quote about Willem Dafoe that applies to some of the drama happening today.
That document is certainly “Too large and confusing”
That is all, have a great day.

Silksong got an update nerfing a few earlier game bosses. How does this help? The end game is still going to be just as difficult and now people are going to be less prepared.
Nevermind the fact that one of the bosses they nerfed was one of the easier bosses in the game.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is in the books.
Just over 33 hours straight, in game time of 31.
Some of the most fun boss fights I've ever had the pleasure of beating. Got lost or frustrated at a few parts but otherwise stellar. 8.5/10

Well then, Hollow Knight didn't take nearly as long to beat as i thought it would.
I certainly didn't aim for any of the best ending but still, ending 1 in 13 hours on my first play through feels good. Now to wait a few days for silksong. Until then, bye for now.

While contemplating what my next manga read would be I came to a sudden realization. Turns out I had started Lone Wolf and Cub a few months ago and had totally forgotten about it. With that being said it's time to keep that train rolling!

Actually finished rereading the call of the night manga. What a fantastic series. I remember not caring for the ending my first time reading it, turns out I was wrong. Great series the whole way through 8/10.
With that being said, what series should be next on my reading list?

It’s only been about 4 months since I did a large scale manga order for new series I was interested in. Somehow in those 4 months I’ve made note of… 37 new manga series that I’d like to start. Mind you some of these are single volume one offs. I may have a problem.

Almost done my second read through of the manga call of the night.
It’s just as good as I remember it, maybe even better. It’s so rare that a manga succeeds in doing everything it aims to do, and call of the night absolutely nails it.
