A fun moment from my recent Growing Up streams. North American football (i.e. not soccer) knowers might catch this, but check the background. The goalposts on the left are in front of the end zone like in Canadian football, but on the right they're behind it like in American football. 🏈

Oh, and for the well-meaning people saying to check Humble Bundle instead:

My #Silksong experience so far, 90 minutes after release.

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you.

Open the steam client, click your name in the top right -> account details -> view purchase history and scroll down

First five games plus DLC here. Just like Civ VI, I took a big early swing at VII. Hope it pays off.

There was about 3 dozen cedar firewood, 10 or so fir, about 200 sticks, 80 pieces of coal, my bedroll, and about 2,300kg of raw fish, bear, and wolf meat. Obviously carrying all that was out of the question and most had to get left for later. On the plus side, the Quonset has a cool new welcome mat.

Tough call as there are several games I enjoyed (or am currently enjoying) but haven't played enough to judge or have yet to release in 1.0.

More importantly, dinner. Char siu sausage roll and Coke Zero, a cool HK$90 (US$11.50). Not quite scran, but filling.

Share the last 4 games you've played and expose your gaming habits.

Blue Prince has so consumed me that it was a wrestle to think back four games ago (thanks @haelian1.bsky.social). I guess my gaming habits are indie titles that will rule my life for hundreds (or thousands, in TLD's case) of hours.

The scene at 0330, almost 2 hours after scheduled takeoff.

Cancelled TV show you will never stop thinking about.

A nod to someone who wasn't an EIC but should've been:

Started replaying the Wintermute story mode of #TheLongDark last night in anticipation of Episode 5 (no, I don't know when it's dropping, either). Found this while gathering lore. Is @raphlife.bsky.social cursed with the gift of prophecy, or was the current nonsense that foreseeable in 2017?

One of the joys (and dangers) of #Cuisineer is the artwork and descriptions of the dishes you can make. Maybe unsurprisingly given the dev team is from Singapore, but they go HARD on the food art and I inevitably get hungry while playing the game.

Starting the year off with a new snack: bibimbap-flavored chips. They taste almost entirely of gochujang, and to be clear I am 100 percent in favor of that. 6.5/10, might try again.

Only a few hours left of 2024, so I made a tier list of games I played on stream or YouTube this year. I don't play games I don't enjoy, so the games are ranked by a mix of how much I enjoyed them and likelihood of replaying them (hence Elden Ring and Celeste being so low).

Maybe the most satisfying part of achieving Perfection in Stardew Valley: "No Joja services used". No big box memberships, no waivers, no walnut-seeking parrots, just a hoarder mentality and a fanatical devotion to making wine.

Joja -- not even once.
November 25, 2024 at 1:38 PM
It's done! After 1,400 hours in Stardew Valley, I have achieved Perfection for the first time. I am exhausted but glad I took the ride. Being a hoarder paid off at the end as I sold off any stack worth 5k or more to hit the 10 million for the gold clock before the end of Year 3. I need a nap.

Hooray for psychologically satisfying round numbers! My expectations for YouTube were low as I'm not technologically inclined and mostly use the channel for clips and VOD storage, but it's gratifying to see people dig what I do. Thanks to everyone who's joined us at www.youtube.com/@trooperbari.
