No Man's Sky can be quite pretty...when i'm not trying to land a ship in the middle of a storm.

i always find it interesting when a video game has an explicit "try not to kill people" mechanic. Death Stranding had the whole voidout threat. turns out Chernoblyte has a sanity mechanic to encourage non-lethal problem solving.
I like it.

revisited #farcryprimal and finally got the last achievement i've been missing for years. also, on replay, i found a pair of south tribe in a...very compromised position when capturing the town. kind of felt bad for ruining things for them.

Replaying Assassin's Creed Revelations and i'm struck by the graphical difference btwn it and the original Assassin's Creed. both were xbox 360 games, but the difference in detail is striking.

sometimes i look at the video game gameplay sessions i've recorded and think "well that was a marathon". cutting down some #cyberpunk2077 recordings and i apparently recorded something like 18hrs over 2 days. i'm not even planning to upload this anywhere. its just a record of a playthrough for me.

#DeathStranding accomplishment: managed to link up a few isolated ziplines to create a path from mountain knot to the mountaineer and spiritualist tonight. not the most efficient routing and whiteout conditions on the mountain means you cant really see for part of it, but it works!
