The World of Avlis

Our way of life, galaxy wide, paved with the skulls of those who've died. Helldivers 2 - Super Earth National Anthem I have 700+ hours in this game. It's loads of fun. I think the national anthem does a good job of getting a good glimpse that is the satirical dystopian nightmare glorious perfect re...

"Look at you, hacker! A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?" " I low-key like the System Shock 1 remake over System Shock 2. Maybe not a fair comparison. SHODAN is much more of a menace in the f...

For those who don't know, my cat Nyx died almost a week ago. It's been hard, and I miss her a lot. As part of working through my grief, I made a poem in her honor. The Brightest of the Lights ~ A Eulogy for Nyx In a World where the sun never rises and darkness looms A Lighthouse stands tall holding ...

Each instrument belongs to one of your companions. Normally you only hear one at a time, but when together... Outer Wilds - Travelers (All Instruments Join) Outer Wilds is the best game I have ever played, and yet sadly it's an experience you can only go through once. Information is progression, so ...

Darkest Dungeon 2 Main Theme

"Take this - it is Hope. The very last of it. It is yours now. You were bold once. Be bold once more."

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Panic and Paranoia
Otherwise known as the chase theme. I never made it far into this game.

It's Vincent Van Gogh's birthday today. Do some art. World Bipolar Day is today! Specifically picked on Vincent Van Gogh's birthday as it is widely believed he had it.

Empires of the Undergrowth - Cold Blood (Action)

Ants are cool when they aren't trying to break into my home.

Stronghold OST - Six and Stones Stronghold is a series I grew up with (though mainly 1 and 2. I somehow missed Crusader, which is arguably the most popular.) Six and Stones plays during large sieges as attacker or defender in both the original and Crusader. It's a whopping 10 minutes long, but I do...

Loop Hero - Loop Blues

One of the coolest apocalypses I've seen. Where the world has forgotten itself, and has thus ceased to exist, aside from the remnants you slowly struggle to remember as you walk on an endless loop.


"But remember: the world will forget all your deeds.

It always forgets."

The City Must Survive - Frostpunk

It was -20F last night, -30F wind chill. Not nearly as cold as the final storm in this game, where it reaches -238F, but I'm not going outside. Carbon dioxide freezes at -109.3F by the way.

"One’s on the bottom, strong is he
Two’s in the middle, carrying Three
Three’s pretending not to be three kobolds in a trench coat!"

"The nightmare gate is revealed! Beyond, only infernal nihility and nonexistence!"
