sleep mode

Well this has been a week or so ongoing of me being perpetually bereft of the energy required to blog like the proverbial mofo that I am. Nothing but memes and apologies for memes because who doesn't look reading those? Well me for a start.

The bad news is I'm still in low energy mode. That said I don't expect it to last very the much longer. All the usual reasons apply i.e work, job, life etc. Just not the time or inclination left in me to type away about my days exploits. My adventures in mundane everyday life not being the stuff of legend if I'm honest, they'd barely make a good mid-afternoon made-for-TV movie drama. That's the bottom of the particular barrel I'm scraping here.

The good news is my aforementioned list of favourite games is still in the making. Having moved on from being a vague scribble in a notebook its now a slightly more legible scribble that, when looked upon in the right light, almost reads like words and shit. That'll be stage two then. Suffice to say there's a rough list of games in some kind of order and a few allotted words next to them summing up why they're there. Expect a rather more refined, filtered and articulate arrangement of these words shortly.

As for me, its time to go back into sleep mode. Recharge the parts of my brain that usually provide the nonsense I pass off as credible blog writing. Adios!

Once upon a time in the dark ages, in the long ago, in the age before the iPhone and reliable high speed broadband there was the humble video game. You would play it, it would last for a finite length of time and then it would end. You'd move on and play another game, maybe read a book, watch a film, join a ukulele band. You'd cast that game into the realm of memories past, enriched by the experience in some way but no longer actively partaking of it. Now that time never ended as such, those games are still very much around but in the here and now they have been eclipsed somewhat by something else altogether.

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

the refreshing taste of cosmic justice

As alluded to in my last post I have some thoughts about the game I have spent most of the last week playing, that game being Paradise Killer , those thoughts being well... these ones.  First up it seems like a minor miracle that I am playing a game like this in 2023 on my PS5 and not on my PS2 in the hallowed year of our lord 2001. it's a game that's quite simple and straightforward in some ways and in others it has a lot going on just beneath the surface. It feels about as removed from the generic high budget videogame as it gets these days without going into the realm of indie low-budget. There's some weird throwback energy going on here is what I am saying and over the next few hundred words I will attempt to put said thoughts in some kind of coherent order. To the commentary...
