Hi everyone,
I just wanted to once again thank everyone for the support the past week, I am writing this on Friday, the day after surgery.
Firstly, I am very, very sorry and quite bruised due to becoming a pin cushion. Secondly, this is not what I wanted to write but the news isn't good, what we hoped, what the doctors hoped could be done was far more extensive than we all thought, and I just feel stupid for giving myself any hope.
Myself and my family, we are all exhausted and just taken aback, my mum hasn't really spoken much, my sister keeps sending me gifs from across the room, no one knows what to say, I don't but I find it easier here with you all.
Anyway, we wipe the tears and play some games, so whilst I've been in the past two days Sniper Contracts has been my Steam deck tipple! It's pretty expansive in how you go about your sniping, the AI feels fairly balanced, personally felt much harder than the Sniper Elite games, quite enjoy them! Had been sitting on my steam for quite awhile, but they're also very cheap so try them out!
And just two for this post! Animal Well, I don't play to many Metroidvania style games but a wonderful person on here gifted it to me, so I took it as good luck to play, and I still believe it was good luck because I had some beautiful nurses!
Anyway, to the game! I am still somewhat complexed and confused by the overall themes/story but the world is beautiful, the gameplay has far more depth that I would have thought from the start, and it's challenging in all the right ways, reminds me of SuperMeat Boy in terms of trying to jump round and make jumps with speed. Apologises for the two small reviews, I haven't played much but I couldn't just update with no reviews! 1. The mods have been very kind to keep my updates going and 2. That would be far too depressing.
I am hoping to get back home as soon as possible, I'm hoping for a lot right now, but whilst you've all already offered so much support, I would like nothing more than to get home and to become very distracted, and so if any of you can help with that distraction I would be grateful. All your messages always warm my soul and help to keep a smile on my face.
Sorry the news isn't better.
M
