I think about these panels a lot

[Wicked + Divine spoiler warning]

Going through my photos and

Gosh I haven't thought about my RPG combat system in a while

That was/is rad

The sunset yesterday was pretty spectacular

When I spend the whole day drained and lethargic and unable to function

Then get a pretty consistent high-energy period each night

..Which I then medicate myself to suppress and sleep poorly through

It makes me wonder if sleeping semi-normative hours is really worth the effort of purposely sabotaging so much of my functionality/energy/creativity

De Sade: Main is inherently and violently horny

Mirbeau: Main has lost touch with true horny, it is violent only in boring ways instead

Foucault: Attempts to define NSFW are horny on main about main by main

@Moot@snouts.online @Galuade@snouts.online I think the thing about Dark Messiah was the other mechanics and the environments were verymuch built with the boot in mind; Ice spells and throwable vials of oil, destructable terrain that triggers on an enemy being shoved into it (railings, support beams), racks of spikes and bonfires scattered throughout the levels at key fight zones, etc.

I guess what I'm getting at is it wasn't just a good mechanic, it was then woven into the game in ways that made it shine.

holy heck, Hellboy 2 had a lot more physical VFX and costuming work in the creatures than I realised (I assumed CG was pulling more of the weight)

Big fan of The Knife generally, but Silent Shout is so good

owwwww

I use f.lux just as 'software with screen dimming functionality' because that's surprisingly rare, so no colour-tweaking, no automatic time-of-day stuff required at all.

And it still goes "Hey!!! It's retina burning brightness time!!!" every single dawn.. Even with all that stuff switched off, even with timed-colour all set to the same level.. It messes up consistently. x_x

is there any Windows-compatible "just dim my screen, on my terms" software out there?

welp

what horrible people are setting off fireworks
