Tried a different approach to shading, saw a tutorial on a different technique that I liked and tried to put it to use here, also faffed about with opacity and other stuff to try and create a transparency effect. Wish I could say I learned new techniques, but when it comes time for me to apply them it turns into: "No technique here, only insanity" To paraphrase an AH vid.

Since I ended up saving some money after skipping Callisto Protocol, I decided to get this one, been meaning to get it for a while and it was on sale for $5, so why the hell not lol.

Violent Night First half is a bit slow, but man, once It gets going! Violent, funny, with some pretty good action, and with some genuinely heartfelt moments here and there, an instant classic for me, and one I'll gladly watch over and over every Christmas season lol. If the first half was a bit shorter it'd be one of the best movies ever. David Harbour is awesome as Santa, def would like to see him back for another one lol.

HELL YEAH!!!! \m/ \m/

Progress!! Was meant to be for Halloween, might be done in time for Halloween of 2030.

It's on Game Pass if you want to suffer through it.

Scorn Made it to the first puzzle, and that was enough for me. I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the ted sled shred shed (), but the way the controls feel, the sluggish movement of your character, the unskippable animations and the fact that you can't reset a puzzle if you've fucked something up, just makes things way more annoying and frustrating than they need to be, and this is before you factor in combat and monsters, not to mention that after looking up the solution to the puzzle I was warned that there were even more annoying puzzles in later portions of the game. Visually impressive with a very cool art style, but most definitively not for me.

Amnesiac characters, gacha games in particular LOVE their amnesiac characters. Specially bad when your character doesn't remember who they are, turns out they're the legendary hero/special forces dude/whatever badass title the game gives you, but everyone still treats you as a glorified errand boy because you don't actually remember anything, even after being told who you are. "Ok, so you were leader of the Holy Order of Whatever, cool, anyway I need you to go on some menial quest for me, you can't refuse because... Reasons..."

"It's like Battlefield but scary" Pretty accurate description. Basically, you mark your target and the systems it has make all the necessary calculations, distance, windage, bullet drop, etc, and then tells you where to aim in order to ensure a hit. It can also save multiple targets and according to Vortex's site, it's meant to be able to link with drones and other systems in the future.

Yeah kinda, the story beats and revelations might not make sense if you skip the base campaign, also I don't know what kind of inventory the game gives you if you skip it, specially given how you can craft weapons and items. Also I don't know if the game will even allow you to start the DLC without having a base campaign save, I know you don't need a completed save, but you might need to start the base game before playing the DLC? If you can start it right away and you don't want to play through the base campaign, here's a quick recap lol: Maybe not as quick as I thought lol, but that should be all you need to know in order to start Awakened.

Dead Space First time playing on PC, made the turret sections so much easier lol, aside from some technical issues, like the game not running properly if the Origin overlay was on, and some crashes, I'd say this has aged like fine wine. The atmosphere, the sounds, everything, even after playing through the whole game a bunch of times, it's still scary. Dead Space 2 Looks way better than I remember, but maybe that was because I originally played it on PS3 at whatever settings it ran and this time it was on PC at 1440p lol. Holds up pretty well, the drill section is still annoying IMO, but the rest of it is fun. Dead Space 3: Awakened This is what DS3 should have been, scary tense, creepy, loved what they did with the That was awesome, the ending was also really cool, normally not what I would like, but for a series like this one, it was fitting. Originally meant to finish a second run of base DS3, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it lol, made it to where you're supposed to put the thing back together before giving up. Dead Space: S Dead Space 2: A- Dead Space 3: F Dead Space 3 Awakened: A+

This looks awesome, price will probably be quite high, but still, pretty neat what they have here.

Forgot to post this lol. I guess to promote Unbound, it's 95% Off on Steam.
