Video Games

I picked Death Stranding 2 back up last night after probably 1.5-2 months away from it. When I last played I was just adding some time building roads and stocking up the facilities with metal/ceramics/resins while leaving the “bring supplies to the ship to fix it” mission hanging. I jumped right onto the mission and almost got my ass handed to me by the ghost mechs, if I had one less gun I was carrying I would have lost (right before Guitar Clown shows up and puts Sam in the eternal fire to die/repatriate repeatedly).

Glad I went that route with pausing the game where I did, now I’m fired up to get home and knock some more of it out. I could use a little break from sitting in my studio immediately after work and then again after the dog park and have just enough of the game left to provide that break.

Not tech savvy. I can get that on the Nintendo store?!

Corollary: I'm pretty Nintendo-ignorant, so my (mild) snark may have been off-base anyway. Sorry for any stress. :)

Limited time only though; act fast!

Beat a boss on the fourth try and thought "oh that wasn't too bad" and then the boss was NOT dead and went into phase 2 mode...WOOF.

Classic soulslike move.

I'm told there are 3-phase Silksong bosses later on...

I love it when I beat a terrible 2 phase boss but when you finally get past the 1st phase thinking you won and the game says “HA” it’s so defeating lol

If you think sideways platform games is hard today....

My teen gaming years was destroyed because... SNES Lion King... actually... the NES platformers were hard also... but Lion King.... damn
I broke two or three SNES controllers... I hated Disney after that. Couldnt watch anything Disney related for years. It messed me up. Didnt play platform action at all after that. Later i learned that Disney deliberately made the the game very.... cumbersome....
Nintendo certainly had a "longevity strategy" designing their games to be a challange... but LK kinda took that a notch to far.

This was back when games were actually 90 minutes long and they had to make them ultra hard to make them feel longer

That was one of my first video games and I never beat it. Lol I had it on SEGA, I was like 7 when I first started playing it

Finally beat the ant gang and now I'm stuck on another boss. Silksong certainly gets a lot harder very quickly
