    While true, the article did literally say "why are you angry about the epic game store instead of being angry about climate change????" which is, like, a shitty thing to say.

    I'd maybe give that a half second of consideration if this hadn't happened multiple times previously, and resulted in such absurd outrage that it cost people jobs because unlike this situation, they worked for large cowardly corporations.

    I've been playing through My Time at Portia and it's very addictive. I need to build more furnaces though. Always more furnaces.

    To me, being mad about game stores is like being mad about the sky.

    I just don't care about launchers. I don't. I cannot bring myself forth to care about them in the slightest. They aren't the end point of anything. They don't do anything. They provide me no intrinsic value except being a step in the process of getting to what I do want to do, which is play videogames. And I don't even need them to do that; I have a built-in start menu in my OS. I already buy games from multiple locations. At best, stores and launchers are a convenience.

    So to me, yeah, being angry about exclusives is ridiculous. Being angry about stores is ridiculous. I don't care. And I don't really have a problem with people pointing out how ridiculous it is because I find the level of outrage generated completely disproportionate to the actual inconvenience.

    Finished that Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

    So no.

    (That's a little bit harsh. It's an okay game that's heavily compromised by being focused on coop and marred with a few technical problems that are small in scope but affected my enjoyment a lot.)

    I finished Sunset Overdrive. It was dumb fun. One of the DLCs ends with a fight against a sea monster named DL Sea Monster.

    Sunset Overdrive was actually one of the best games last year. I don't care that it came out in 2014, I didn't get to play it til it was on PC and it is amazing.

    So after all that striving and bullshit, I beat the last act of Slay the Spire again with the Ironclad within a couple of days. I put together a broken-ass infinite Drop Kick deck with artifacts that gave me extra energy and block every time I shuffled my deck, which was every time I played Drop Kick. If it wasn't for the damage cap, I'd have beat the final boss in one turn. As it was, I took zero damage.

    Guess now it's time to grind Ascension levels with the Defect until the new character comes out.

    The only bugaboo I still have about Epic (beyond their commitment to working their employees to death) is that I don’t much like how they were datamining my computer without my consent

    But it still wasn’t enough to get me to uninstall the damn thing, because I wanted to play and finish Ashen and Observation, and those were good games I couldn’t get elsewhere

    I liked a lot of Remember Me.

    And the ending bits happened.

    I meant to finish Remember Me.

    But then I forgot

    Honestly you didn't miss much. The finale is a lot weaker than the beginning and middle of the game, I felt. And kinda drops a hammer on its own toes theme-wise at a few points.

    I really enjoyed playing Remember Me and I was interested in their crazy Neo-France

    and then (late/mid game spoilers? I'm not sure how far I was till the end)
    you alter your mom's memory so she thinks that she is at fault for a car crash you caused by being a shitty little kid

    and I was like, okay maybe I'm done

    Woof.

    Glad I got too bored with the gameplay to get to that point.

    Too much sub par combat and climbing, not enough memory editing.

    Totally loved the setting though.

    Now that I've finished Wolfenstein, I've gone back to Amid Evil. I wasn't really feeling it; the weapons were too modern FPS equivilant (This staff is the pistol, this sword is the shotgun etc. etc.) and the enemies were too similar visually. However, I got through the first episode and started the second and it appears that episode has an entirely new set of enemies. (Real gross lovecraftian type gibbering balls of flesh kind of enemies)

    Also I got a new weapon that lets me stake people to the walls.

    So my enjoyment of the game has gone up a lot! :)

    My latest sim plan is to get my vampire couple to have six babies, then cure those babies of vampirism and use them as a food source, replacing them as they age out and breeding new ones from the most financially rewarding sims. I bet I could go a few generations like that.

    Subnautica, penultimate update
    - alright! I have the blue tablet, and surely the Mysterious Voice is just beyond this door
    - hmm, this water looks really weird. I'll very carefully jump in
    *voice starts talking as the largest sea creature I've encountered yet half-climbs on to the platform I've landed on

    Panicking, I engage the Prawn's jump jets and as soon as I break the surface I grapple for safety. After I calm down, I check the voice log to figure out what the voice was saying. Oh, turns out you're friendly? Well, maybe don't do that

    Collecting the enzyme bits went easily enough. Is that bit semi-random? There are a lot of plants from which you can collect samples, and for the vast majority to not be useful seems weird.

    I'm cured! I've disabled the weapon and begun building an escape rocket.

    'All' that's left is a somewhat tedious transfer process. I left the cyclops in the volcanic area, and since there were a number of close calls getting it down there, I'm just going to leave it there. The Prawn can get to and from it without much trouble; it just takes time.

    There's a weird kind of logic to the plant samples. You can find each one of them near a different portal in the main chamber of the primary containment facility. Except for the Sea Crown, which is infuriatingly rare but can be found in one of the tunnels at the bottom on the sea emperor's tank.

    I made a point of looking around the tank closely, and the plant seemed familiar:
    I found a time capsule that indicates which plants you need (which raises all sorts of questions) and it came with a picture of the Sea Crown front-and-center. It claimed to provide me a couple of things, including a seed ... but didn't actually do so.
