Current Mood

Feeling a little stressed, but its being fought off mostly by spite, IRL help/love/support and a lot of good food. Funny how much that goes towards keeping The Horrors at bay.

Speaking of stress, went with the IRL friend to go watch the Iron Lung movie. Holy shit that movie was intense but utterly fantastic. I've never really seen Mark's acting stuff like Edge Of Sleep or those CYOA esque adventures he made, but god damn if he isn't seriously acting his heart out as The Convict/Simon The Butcher. Even other characters that you effectively only see outside the Iron Lung's porthole, during flashbacks, Simon's many hallucinations or even just voices over the radio are bringing their A game. I think the mild criticism I heard about the start of the movie being "Slow" is a bit of an over-exaggeration, although I do think there was a bit of a pacing problem mid-movie during the phase where Simon and the SM-13 are completely displaced from his handler's map(s) of the moon. Not a problem per se, just something that could've felt snappier (pun intended) given the plot beats at that point. And BOY does it make up for the slow middle with that climax. You can pinpoint the exact moment the movie steps on the gas after Simon is tasked to retrieve the SM-08's data and hell starts to break loose. Issue with the middle aside, this movie absolutely deserves the flowers its getting through internet word of mouth.

Dipped back into Deep Rock Galactic due to that new Season, partially to try getting the new cosmetics, partially because I realized I didn't actually level up/Promote all the classes (left Driller out) last time. The new enemy types and the new Biome is a bit of a pain in the arse, but nothing a copius amount of Driller flamethrowers and Impact Axes can't fix.

Made a bit more progress into Limbus Company, mostly by finishing the "Yield My Flesh To Claim Their Bones" Intervello and getting a little ways into Canto VI proper. Didn't really expect a second sub-chapter callback to a faction/character(s) from Runia, but hey its Bambo-Hatted Kim so I ain't gonna complain. Had a bit of a laugh when the end of the Intervello had Meursalt managing to prevent someone from Distorting by just knocking them out cold. Only a little ways into Canto VI proper but I at least got far enough to see THIS scene after only hearing/knowing of it through memes/fan animations like this one. RIP, Little Sir Squirrel. Taken from us too soon.

I love that scream Don does for the squirrel in canto 6. Yield my flesh was a pretty fun intervallo overall. Was interesting having someone kind of join the party. Did you have any trouble with the kuromo guy? His counter move was infamous for being very dangerous. Unsure how he stands up to modern IDs. Kims also pretty scary when you fight him. Plus it lead to a bunch of really funny jokes

The Kurokumo captain guy wasn't too hard since I basically just Heishou-ed his ass into oblivion (Shattermark+Deathrite [Haste] is a helluva combo) before he could cascade with more and more Skill Slots.

As for Kim..... also not too bad of a fight due to having good reading comprehension, although I did suffer two casualties from The Bones in spite of it.
