THE CASTING OF FRANK STONE: Wish I liked this one more. Felt like there were too many loose threads after beating a playthrough, in a way that I've never gotten from other Supermassive games, and it's not that scary! That said, still had some fun playing it pass the controller styles on Halloween.

Breaking my "never see them in the same city twice" rule because there's only 2 Canadian dates and I've seen them in both of those cities already, but Montreal has Megadeth AND Anthrax on the bill, and I've been keen to visit that city again. I'm pumped!

BALL x PIT: No exaggeration to say this game absorbed my life while I was playing it. Trying to mess around with synergies and unleash chaos on encroaching enemies was unbelievably satisfying. Not much else to add. Game rocks big time styles.

Been playing Baby Steps on the steam deck, and the only thing I've hated about it is that it crashed and deleted my save when I was nearing the end

ELDEN RING: SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE - I made the mistake of playing this on my new game plus file, and I set it aside for a year after getting stuck on Messmer (I was mad). Not a fan of its leveling system, and Radahn can eat my ass, but it's (a fuckton) more Elden Ring, and that's still good.

So I was going to stream, but my GPU has been shitting the bed more frequently lately. Right where this cable connects, that light starts blinking when I lose video output. It's an NVIDIA 4090, and I'm no computer doctor, so any help/advice would be sick!

Forgot to mention it here, but no stream tonight! My extended vacation is ending on Wednesday, so I'm taking some time to enjoy the end of summer while I can. Summer here was pretty rotten overall, but now it's finally nice out, so ya boy is gonna be chilling on the deck!

NINJA GAIDEN: RAGEBOUND - holy fuck this game is hard. Flip side: it RIPS. Fantastic art direction, bangin' tunes, and tight as hell gameplay. Another slam dunk from the devs that brought you the Blasphemous series!

HEARTWORM - If you want to dip your toes into survival horror, this is a good point of entry! LOVE the use of pre-rendered graphics to evoke the late 90s Resident Evil/Silent Hill look, with some cool psyched out imagery. An examination on grief, regret, and the fear of failure holding us back.

NEON WHITE - Played most of this on Switch at launch. Came back to it and holy fuck, this game rips. It's also a really weird mash-up of FPS/platformer/visual novel. I am hooked on beating my Steam friends leaderboard times and the speedrun tech is insane. Love it. OST bangs too!

A GAME ABOUT DIGGING A HOLE - the ancestral itch to dig is scratched. I clear cut the whole yard. Didn't need to, turns out, but I enjoyed doing so anyways. Just a good, shut your brain off and go kinda game.

CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 3 - the last match-3 game I played was Columns for the Sega Genesis. This is much better. Wacky as hell but also a heartbreaking look at the state of the games industry. I want Strange Scaffold to succeed. Every game is a gift. Very rad!

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - Started it immediately after finishing the first. I was worried I would burn out on it for that reason - I didn't. Less friction in this one, but it also made me more willing to engage with it for that reason. Fucking BANANAS ending. Current GOTY. Better than DS1.

DEATH STRANDING: DIRECTOR'S CUT - I had actually played most of this at launch, but set it down despite being basically at the end. There's no middle ground: you love it or you hate it. I love it. Oddly cathartic experience. Weird as hell, but I appreciate that so much.

This Is Not Your House - another bit-sized (and cheap!) horror experience, this time in the form of a text adventure. Really effective use of its lo-fi art style. Would love to see them take it even further (ie: longer) in a future game. Also, further proof that firefighters are better than cops.
