My posts

Silent Hill 2 update: I have now recorded the first two hours of gameplay with commentary, which gets us through the jukebox puzzle reveal, and I’m going to be able to record that quest through our arrival at Woodside Apartments tomorrow, knock on wood. I’m working on a timestamped list of topics and some additional things I forgot to mention, because the commentary is a bit... information dense. It’s like, some new Fact every minute or two. This is mostly just because South Vale has a lot of easter eggs and lore per square inch. By the time we get to the apartments, it won’t be like, “Apartment 215 was named after the author Fifteen McCarthy” or anything, so it should calm down by that point.

But man, I was so jittery. I calmed down once I had some monsters to whack. That said, the frame rate was WILDING OUT, which ended up being pretty funny toward the end so I’ll allow it, but I can’t figure out why the game is this fussy this early on. I’ve checked my graphic settings, which are still the Optimized for PC settings that I found. 

("Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly" did give me some comfort.)

Meanwhile, Ian did his first livestream commentary this past Wednesday, focusing at first on the music of Silent Hill 2.

Tumblr turns 18 years old. I’ve been here since 2010, so I’m maybe less shocked than most people. But still.

Do you think scytheguy gets dizzy when he spins the scythe?

YEAH

what are your thoughts on capricorns

personally i love capricorns! i don't know very many, so my perception is a little screwed, but here's some observations i can pick up. capricorns have an astounding ability to not let life's downfalls affect them too much. they usually have enough faith in their abilities to be able to wait for new opportunities to come to them rather than rushing into something new headlong without the experience to deal with them. they tend to also have a "i have to be the smartest person in the room" complex and will shift conversations when they don't know enough about the topic or if they won't gain anything from it. i've also noticed that in both capricorns i know, they both gave up higher education in exchange for doing something they loved that would get them less money, which feels very un-capricorn-y, but i feel as though capricorns are quick to identify where their talents lie and will follow that thread instead of continuing towards a goal they aren't committed to. they are very good at knowing what they want and working towards it.

gave a go at animating scythe guy! I'm reasonably pleased with how this turned out.
