Aaaand here we are! :buncomfyhappy:

As of today.

Wanted to preemptively set up OBS for VR shenanigans in the near future, but since the headset I've been eying isn't out yet, I have to borrow my friend's... Oculus Rift.

They're not kidding when they say it will soon require a Facebook account. This is just for installing and using the required software.

I hate it already.

Finally cleared Hell in Spelunky after binging it for the last several days. I don't think another game has ever kicked my ass this much.

Well then, onward to the sequel!

Cold!

It's cold.

It's really effing cold! 😬

I streamed @toffy 's games today.

So for the first time ever I bought one of those cylindrical beef chubs instead of the usual packaging, because it was cheapest option, and it is SO much easier and cleaner to shape burger patties this way. How come no one ever taught me this?!

Not the biggest or most colorful I've ever seen, but still a rarity in these parts. Was trying to take a close-up shot but the best I could manage was zoomed before it flew away.

At least I have dragonfly pic on my phone now.

Lately I've gotten pretty used to holding spiders (and even centipedes!). The most common ones around here are actually pretty harmless and cowardly.

I'm honestly more startled by touching their webs.

I had a surreal, if creepy experience last night. I've adapted it into a short story (<1000 words). Give it a read if you feel like it.

cw: surrealism, assault, creepypasta

Housemate confirmed it as an American dagger moth caterpillar. Glad I decided to wear gloves!

Contrast that with Kid Icarus' sister game, Metroid, which will give you a better reward if you forego exploring in favor of achieving a better clear time. It's the exact opposite, even though the games were developed at the same time.

Actually, I kind of scared myself just now. One of these games rewards you for completing your objective as swiftly and efficiently as possible. The other rewards for... taking time to amass vast sums of power and wealth???

Watching the GDQ speedrun of Kid Icarus reminds me that there's a lot of games out there that implement "reverse difficulty", where a game only gets easier the more you upgrade your character.

This is fine if a game is well-balanced to keep up with character growth. However if you somehow manage to clear this game at its most challenging, your reward for your efforts will be the worst ending! Strange! But also amusing.
