Day 5: game deserving a remake

Been saying for years that I would love a Bushido Blade remake.

Don't arcade-ify it or anything... keep the deep, contemplative vibe. No health bars or combo tickers flying around.
Should be nothing but the two combatants and the lethal rock-paper-scissors gameplay

Well, as of just a little bit ago, I can proudly say that this is *not* Diablo 4 anymore.
The series holds some sentimental value for me, but it's pretty bad, if I'm being honest. But! I just got the platinum, so I'm done with that.

ACTUALLY currently playing Silksong. Stuck on a boss, of course.

Seems kind of silly doing "Hardest Boss Fight" while stuck on a boss in Silksong...
...but, The One That Got Away for me is Dracula from the original Castlevania. Sure, probably other bosses have been harder, but I have never beat that final boss and it haunts me to this day.

My brother and I, after completing the game many many many times, used to take days to make Duke Nukem maps for each other to play.

Now, definitely by far, my most played game is Slay the Spire. I still play this game after platinum-ing it... and also play the board game a ton.

Oh no! The columns strike back!

That's one of those things that's so weird to get excited about. Like I try to explain to people what it does and they nod politely... but I'm like "no, you don't understand. None of this works without this thing at the core of everything"

I've been playing this configuration for a while. It's a great feeling to be *done* building it. I don't ever feel like I need anything else anymore.

Not Bastl, but some classic "violent rhetoric" on a kit I built a while ago.

Serious question:
Is opposition to genocide "leftist" or "progressive"?

This is what it looked like to the naked eye:

It's much darker with my human-meat eyeballs, but the phone camera's techno-sorcery makes it really pop out

I don't know why I like sitting directly on stage when playing my sets, but I do.
I usually take my shoes off and have a cushion, but something about it connects me.

Alright... ready for the noise jam tonight.
I'm playing "Oops! All Square Waves" and, if you're wondering what that is, it sounds like some static and an old NES explosion sound had a tender loving threesome with a fax machine.

Beautiful weekend for Sacred and Profane. We went a little early in the day, but still got to see the island.

This is the Graffix skull jester logo. If you see this skull, it means you're about to hit the bong.
Not a nazi as far as I know...
