Time to see if I can complete them all before Village arrives (probably won't)

Our president, the man who claimed that "honesty, integrity and not being corrupt" were the best ways to protect yourself from COVID caught COVID... And of course, now that he's out of it, he claims that usage of facemasks is pointless, because he's not "contagious". The punchline being that in his first conference since he got sick, he went on one of his usual tirades: "I'm making a dictionary of neoliberal words, yeah, I talked to the leaders of G20 and there were several words that caught my attention, like resilience, anyone knows what that means?" *Several journalists raise their hands* "Yeah no... I mean, the people out there, what does it mean? Resilience? It's a new word I hadn't heard about, there's also this other word they like to use... Uh.... Empathy! Yeah that's right, because there's sympathy, and there's antipathy, so there must be something called empathy right?" So yeah, for our president, empathy is a neoliberal buzzword, explains a lot actually.

Started playing RE HD, man, I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING about this game, so far I've spent an hour wandering around after getting the sword key, the fact that some things have changed or moved around compared to the original on PS1 doesn't help, that it's been several years since I've played it ain't making things easier either. It's fun to be back in this type of RE game though, that's cool.

Finished. There's a bunch of things that could look better, but after some attempts, they seem to fall in that "out of my current skill-level" category, some day... Maybe. A quick variation I did, some last minute stuff. Not counting the hours spent staring at the abyss and doubting myself, this took about 20-25 hours, counting those it's almost double that. Edit: Well, that was a dumb from me. Didn't notice and didn't think about it, but my glasses have that blue screen filter coating on them, so... Took a quick look without them and it's way too light, everything looked darker with glasses on, so I thought it looked good, glasses off... Not so much. Fuck me, something I'll have to take into account next time I get new glasses. Which should be soon(ish) I've had these for about 2 years now.

Resident Evil 7 This was a roller coaster, starts out super scary and creepy, gets a bit more actiony later on, then there's another creepy sequence, then back to action. It's a cool game, not sure how it feels as a Resident Evil game, but as an action horror it's pretty good. Resident Evil 7: Not A Hero A super short DLC that happens after the events of 7, a much more straightforward FPS game, little in terms of horror IMO. Biggest issue is that CAPCOM can't seem to decide on a look for Chris. Counting the DLC it took me about 8 hours to complete the full thing, kinda want to start a new playthrough, using some of the unlockable stuff you get.

Skull was kinda meh, this one sounds pretty cool though. \m/ \m/

When it picks up, it picks up.

Peña Nieto and his team: *Steals $400 million during their 6 years in power* MORENA: "Hold my Cuarta transformacion..." *steals $2.5 billion in 2 years* AMLO: "I'm the first president that isn't corrupt, no, those weren't bribes, those were voluntary donations from our supporters, no you can't know where that money went to and where it came from, it's uh.... a matter of national security, but yeah, I'm not corrupt, I'm honest, those who say otherwise are enemies of the nation, servants of neoliberal conspirators, I'm clean and perfect and free from fault, thank you."

Those look pretty cute, nun looks cool. \m/ \m/ I've been learning a lot about certain tools in Krita, particularly, all the colouring I did was using the colorize mask, which simplifies things A TON, though the shading still has to be done by hand (AFAIK, might be a tool for that too), still, that's a huge chunk of time saved, and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself... And I do say so myself. Originally, the plan was to finish before February, yeah, that was optimistic of me.

\m/ \m/

Almost there (kinda)...

I remember reading that The Order had some really annoying stealth sequences with insta-fail and poor checkpoints, and that convinced me to never touch it, what did you think of those? Where any segments particularly bad or nothing that bad?

For those that have finished 7:

Resident Evil 7 Man this is a game, been playing in 15 minute chunks then taking a break to do other stuff.

I've been playing for a bit, but man, between how Outlast-ish the start is (I'm told it picks up later on) and how long Ethan takes to do certain things, I'm going to die before I make any progress.

Played the PS5 demo, which is called visual demo, which makes sense, because it's mostly just about how the game will look, rather than an actual demo for Village, the first person perspective is something I'm not used to for these games, and the way your character sometimes interacts with stuff as soon as you get close to it scared the hell out of me. Still, after watching the gameplay trailer, it looks pretty cool, looking forward to it, specially if it ends up being the RE4 of this new generation of RE games.

I may or may not be about to repeat last year's list, this time with the Resident Evil series.

Update (though still decidedly WIP)

HELL YEAH!! Chalice dungeons can rot in hell, specially the cursed defiled bullshit, everything else about this game is fucking awesome! \m/ \m/

I'm on the last one now, and boy, there's challenging, there's hard, there's frustrating, cheap, bullshit, and THEN there's whatever this one is pulling, this is going to be a thing, specially because all my weapons are close range melee.

Is it worse than the defiled dungeon? That 50% decrease in hp is brutal.

Bloodborne I was sure I'd get the Platinum with the last ending missing, turns out, I had completely forgotten about So now I'm back to running chalice dungeons, much as I hate those. On the bright side, beast mode + pizza cutter = RIP AND TEAR. Bosses just melt even on NG+. Genshin Impact Got Ganyu! Been levelling up my team, traveller can now reach 60, though that's going to take a while, been completing some other quests too, current event might be a bit too much for my current party though.
