Something has gone fundamentally wrong regarding upbringing, school and mental health if a 12-year-old gets access to a gun and starts shooting innocent people as a means of “revenge”.
Whatcha all been playing? Been kind of sick this week so I took it easy but still found some time to get some Isaac runs in. Also started up rogue legacy 2 again which is a good time
Been playing Vanquish. The game feels like a Japanese take on then-popular cover-shooters like Gears of War, but with faster pace and mechanics like sliding that incentivize not relying on covers too much. Like with Platinum’s titles, there’s deep mechanics and really getting into the game starts when replaying the game’s missions.

Just read that woman’s manifesto and it was exactly the kind of shit that one writes after reading too much Linkola and Kaczynski, in addition to finishing the first course of philosophy in upper secondary school. The humanity is doomed because of excessive individualism and consumerism, and countries should strive economically for degrowth instead of growth. Governments should do more things for the environment and grassroots action is necessary. TikTok makes people dumb and ignorant of societal issues. “Drastic measures are required, for we have gone too far”… and the solution is to have a gun and kill a bunch of people??? These people don’t really have creative solutions for such big problems.

Tomb Raider Anniversary was dirt-cheap on Steam so I bought it. As a remake it feels a whole lot smoother to play compared to the 1996 original, no tank controls. I also installed ReShade and a couple of texture upscale mods to make it more pleasant-looking, with add-on enhanced ReShade I could also use ray-traced global illumination.
I played BattleBit Remastered for the first time since August and I really need to hone my skills.
I also several demos on Steam, News Tower really got me hooked with its gameplay. The full game should release on Early Access in a couple days, might as well buy it.
