Dyno

15 years ago my chemistry teacher scolded me for doodling all over the blank pages in my mock exam - little did she know I was seeking the forbidden hyperobject, presidentially

it's been a while since i played nu-Hitman 1 & 2 but i remember a throwaway line by a guard in the first mission at the beach house where he comments that "left-wing ecoterrorism must pay well" that gave me a stunlock

i'm fucking crying at this
i used to always see those little steel 10ml whippets on the ground in the car park where i used to work, guess we've come a long way since then

kenshi really isn't like that (i mean, it definitely is, i've had several playthroughs fail because my sole character died immediately to a goat or a beak thing lol)
but it's more forgiving than you'd think - if your character gets beaten in a fight, 9 times out of 10 you're just unconscious and will wake up eventually and live to fight another day - that's kinda the whole point. the toughness skill is levelled up specifically by being beaten up, heh.
in any case, when you start a playthrough you can adjust some difficulty sliders, like reducing the chance to die
survival pro tip: recruit at least another member to your party asap - this immediately gives you the option to apply first aid to a downed character and reduce the chance they bleed out or something

yea i first started it in '22 and gave up after 2 hours, recently saw some vids on YT about it and felt the urge to try again, now I'm 100+ hours deep haha

Been on Kenshi quite a bit lately. I've put together a posse of freed slaves who go and free other slaves and kill nobles

the samples behind this track are inspired

the worst of all possible worlds - there's an undercurrent of criticism about american evangelicalism (particularly the adventures in odyssey episodes) if you're into that, but they also cover a range of media including films, tv, video games etc.

finally got around to playing Avowed
it's been fun, i'm at the final act now, though the stuttering has gradually gotten worse as the game goes on
i get the impression that most of the choices throughout are fairly binary so i'm anticipating a second playthrough where i just do the opposite, heh

time is the only cure i'm afraid.
different strokes for different folks and all but for me it helped to try to forget about them entirely - i removed or avoided any reminders in my life and focused on new friends and interests - eventually you reach a point where you realise you haven't thought about them for days, then it becomes weeks then months and so on

Tsugumori (KOS) when it's time to fight alien zombie parasites

RAY (MGS) when I fancy a swim

I'm a latecomer to helldivers 2 so i've been plugging away at that - my fav enemies are probably the bots, which are described as "mindless, bloodthirsty robots, coded for nothing but murder and socialist violence"
