Still rampaging through some optional content in Pharloom. For my taste / skill, the First Sinner is around 15% too fast to be fun. And I hate it when I have to chase the boss around. Ok, done, next. #Silksong

Year after year, I wrestled with the question of whether I really needed the Creative Cloud. Sometimes I take a little longer than other people. But now I’m finally free! Bye #Adobe!
Hello #Affinity Suite! (Well, at least till October 30th, when we’ll see if #Serif will ruin their product as well.)

Hmm. It took me around 43 hours to reach Act II in #Silksong. HowLongToBeat puts the complete main game at 27 hours. Don’t those people explore the map? I spend, e.g., over 10 hours hunting for certain abilities (I can’t actually get in Act I). Tzz.

Wow. Another shop with even more expensive items. If I want them I can now farm, again, another 1.150 rosaries, another 30min or so gone, again. This. Is. So. Much. Fun! #Silksong

13h in and I am calling it: #Silksong is one of the most unfun, most annoying games I have ever played! It is beautiful & has lots of good parts. But the annoying stuff overshadows everything else. I will play a bit longer, just to see if I stumble upon the area where they have hidden the fun. #meh

Meine unvollständige Asterix-Sammlung. Vor 35+ Jahren zugelegt. Vier Umzüge überlebt. Und jetzt gehen die Alben an die nächste Generation. Damit ich mehr Platz für skurrile Graphic Novels habe …

For those who like #puzzles: Here is a pretty good, strangely straightforward, not too complicated, beginner friendly #Sudoku variant:

Finally »beat« the final boss of #LiesOfP Overture. Kinda. After 268! attempts I still couldn’t solo the boss on »Legendary Stalker«. Intended difficulty my ass! As Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is ready to go I switched to »AwakenedPuppet« to end this. Without a doubt the shittiest boss I’ve ever faced.

A website that you build on the side offers the opportunity to incorporate all the stuff you usually don’t use – or need. So here are unnecessary CSS masks, some sticky business, scroll-driven animations, fancy typo, an AI joke & an old-school shoutbox. Needs some fine-tuning though.

Finally here. It took me 20 hours to get to the DLC of »Lies of P«. I replayed the first nine chapters on normal difficulty. And that Green Monster Of The Swamp is still no fun. I heard the DLC is annoying as well … #LiesOfP #LiesofPOverture

Half a year ago I bought a new, fresh, chic laptop, for travelling, and now, whenever I travel, I still bring my old, slow laptop, just because, you know, it could get stolen. #NewLaptopVsOldParanoia

Current status: Screaming at the screen, because this Sentinel in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown DLC is the worst mini-boss I have faced in a long time. Attacks come way too fast. Right now I am glad the developer team got disbanded! #skillissue

Traditional comic pick-up on Free #Comic Book Day. Even though all free comics are aimed at children these days. So I only collect this stuff for other people’s kids. But if you want to read Maus, Watchmen, Blankets or Daytripper later on, you have to start somewhere. #earlyeducation

Thanks to an unhealthy amount of nostalgia and FOMO my vast collection of stuff now includes these Omnibus Sized Darkwing Duck Hardcover graphic novels.
Nice to have? Sure. Worth the price tag? Not after the KS campaign increased shipping costs from 30 to 72 $.

The Nameless King … I gave up on my first playthrough in 2020. But nearly five years later, and after surely 100+ attempts altogether, I finally beat the shittiest enemy in all the SoulsWorlds. I hate, hate, hate this fight. #DarkSouls3 #noskill
