#CoSoMusic deepklod - Sky's Despair

Well, it took me 2 hours of attempting to upgrade graphics drivers. Failing, checking what's going wrong via terminal, realizing my dependencies were old. Installing new ones. Running the upgrade again and succeeding. Rebooting, then finally succeeding reinstalling Bnet launcher. Updating #WoW. Logging in, then another hour killing add-ons throwing errors. But I finally made a purple dragon lady and quested thru the starting area and ended in Stormwind. The things I'll do for my #CoSoGaming fix.

#CoSo bracing for impact

As a history buff this point and click adventure game absolutely speaks directly to me. I'm almost done with the first act and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The medieval manuscript art style, the text fonts, the scratch of a quill on vellum with each text box, the music (even a Gregorian chanter), well written, tons of references, it's all great. The first act is a "Name of the Rose" style murder mystery. Looking forward to the rest.

The Xbone really struggled to keep up, frames dipping into the single digits, the sound getting crunchy. I persevered tho, and rolled credits... But it's got several endings, so I'll likely go back to it soon. It's got a good simple art style, and the sound design is great. Metacritic has it at 73, and that feels right. It's good, worth the 4ish hours, but def a little rough around the edges.

Wow. This debut game from Jumpship feels like the sequel to Inside. No surprise; Jumpship is co-founded by ex Playdead CEO Dino Patti. Play as a dad having The Worst day ever, trying to escape an invasion and find his family, acquiring strange powers along the way. Like Limbo and Inside, this is a no dialogue puzzle game. Unlike those, this outing feels unpolished. One hard crash that even crashed my Xbone. Several moments... 1/2

Late #caturday post. Here's 2 of our 4. On the left is Beans. He's being used as a pillow by Mack, his cousin/sister? (it's a long story lol).

#CoSoGaming More #LotRO this evening. Hunter main hit lvl 64 woo. Still in Moria, lol. Have finished off all the "regular" quests except the leave this dank place already one. 3 more of the Epic Book quest chain (that prob lead to more so I got a little more to do). GF due home soon and needs to go to bed right away, they scheduled her close/open, boo. So I'ma hop off the PC, free it up for her #Futurama or #BobsBurgers white noise. Think I'll get on the #PS5 and some #DCUO before my bedtime.

#gaming I finished "I Am Dead". 100% Platinum Trophy even. The ending was a bit.. odd. Game seemed to be leading somewhere to me but I assumed incorrectly. Wasn't bad, just not expected. Overall it was a fairly cute, cozy experience.

Time to figure out what's next up from the Backlog of Boundlessness.

"Verified"

Spent most of the day doing my best to ignore the US tire fire. Played #LotRO for a few hours. Still grinding through Moria. Jumped over to I Am Dead in the evening. I'd have finished it, but my curiosity got the best of me and I started checking results. It's not as bad as predicted (don't trust those anyway) but it sure ain't great. Oh well, I'll finish I Am Dead tomorrow.
#MST3K (the OG) for bedtime as usual. Got all the seasons on my storage drive lol. They're my bedtime white noise.👍
