    Haha, I used to destroy that game but when I tried playing it again a few months ago, I think I might have gotten to the same point before Slash cut me to ribbons and I had to continue. Getting old sucks. My skills are not what they once were.

    Sadly, I'm going to have to miss the RE livestream tomorrow. :(  I'll try to watch it over the weekend though.

    I am currently playing cyberpunk 2077 which is an RPG released by CD Projekt. I started playing the game for about a couple of weeks back and I have really started to enjoy playing this game a lot in last few days. I had some trouble with some features in the game but this guide has really helped me to understand almost all the features in this game which made my experience of playing this game truly remarkable.

    Pokémon soulsilver.

    I didn't know if I should play this one or the original Pokémon Silver. But I like the upgrade so I went for the upgrade.

    I asked my dad to select the starter for me and he picked totodile because he likes the design of Feraligatr. I named the player character after him.

    Started Yakuza 5 because I'm addicted to it like a drug. Spent about 3 hours in it and only beat the first chapter to Kiryu's story. The new city is interesting, but the fact that I have no idea why he is there is getting to me.

    My apologies for the super late reply! I’m currently playing my PS4 games on TV...I’m not sure if there’s a “game mode” though...but I’ll try finding it!

    The good news is that I finally managed to complete Arkham Asylum...its the zip-lining and going through the vents that’s making me giddy. Once I reached the battle with Poison Ivy, the motion sickness was gone.

    Hmm. It has to be the refresh rate, then. Motion blur, vsync stutters, screen tearing, all can add to that sickness effect. What model TV do you have?

    One more thing to consider is the kind of game that you are playing. I have found that games where the background is dark, when I'm fighting in closed quarters (and where the camera angle is following too closely) makes it challenging to track "your" movements.

    Nier Automata actually had in game advice about how to avoid motion sickness. I liked that. It was as if the developers knew (or at least, recognized) that motion sickness was going to be an issue in this game/games like Nier, and gave you general advice on how to mitigate it.

    This was the one, we cut about 45 minutes of recording down to 15 minutes because of how much Hannah struggled with this puzzle.

    You ever watched a samurai tiger use gas to blast itself into big wyverns and create an explosive divebomb? It's crazy man.

    I played through all 40 taxi missions today in Yakuza 5. It took some time, it got repetitive a tad, but I did it and am damn happy about it.

    Replaying the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series of games that I adored as a child and teen.

    Pretty fun platformers with charming characters and design with really chill music.

    Playing three games currently:

    • Shadow of the Colossus remake. Love this, particularly that I can do it in small sessions. Totally gorgeous too.
    • Little Nightmares. Got it free with Gold. Like it a lot. Again, doing it in short increments.
    • Until Dawn. Doing another play through for the Platinum. Easily one of my favorite games of all time.
    Also I just bought 13 Sentinels and Disco Elysian in the PS sale so will start one while waiting for RE Village.

    Magnamalo is a fun fight, but LR Village was a bit disappointing I think, I was expecting a bit more challenge.

    So, I'm getting back into Terraria (I took a short break to play some other games and also because I felt like the game was getting a little too grindy for my taste), and all I really need to do right now is find a truffle worm. Should be easy, right? After all, it is just a dumb worm...

    NO! THIS IS SO MUCH HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!! AAAAAAHH I HATE SEARCHING FOR THIS STUPID THING!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALMOST NEVER THERE AND WHEN IT IS IT JUST TELEPORTS AWAY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Other than that, things are going pretty smoothly.

    My advice: create a large—possibly artificial—mushroom biome, and get hunter potions, and battle potions. Make sure you don't have any minions active, as they may kill them.
