I've been playing this. Not talked about it openly because, well you know.

I just wanted to say that in my 20 or so hours with the game if found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It's got a few annoyances (namely that it's got that...open worldiness to it), but for the most part it's pretty fun, and more polished than I thought it would be. Combat especially feels really fluid and precise.

So yeah. I'm enjoying this.

So I started playing Potion Permit on the Steam Deck. It's better - I absolutely hated the KBM controls - but hoo boy, it's slow. Most days, I'm heading home to bed by 4pm, since stamina is so limiting and this early, food is pretty cost-prohibitive (and not overly effective).

It's fine, so I can give it a few more play sessions to see if it starts to feel better pacing-wise.

#WhatImMaking - a double knitting scarf that I’m not happy with the colours for, but it’s stash busting

Hmm. I finished 18 games in 2022. Which was a down year for me.

Off to a flyer so far in 2023 however. Two weeks in and I'm already through three.

Slowly working through my backlog. Last night I started #Elechead on my Steamdeck. It's a puzzle-platformer with super tight mechanics and a surprising amount of depth to its design.

I don't believe it's too long (my time is limited, 4-5hr long games are the dream), and it naturally runs great on the #Steamdeck.

New Year update

#WhatImPlaying - Ghost of Tsushima
#WhatImWatching - His Dark Materials
#WhatImMaking - hand warmers to use up the last of some stash yarn

 still. The downside to the #Loona app more or less curing my insomnia is that I’m hardly reading.

#WhatImMaking the same self-written pattern. My knitting progress is slower these days because Cooper often objects to my attention being on not-Cooper and expresses this by lying on top of my knitting. See below

Aiming to make this a somewhat regular update, but with my brain let’s not count the chickens.

#WhatImMaking my first ever self-written pattern to use up some leftover yarn that won’t fit anything else (we won’t mention the 6 long-dormant WIP).

What about you?

Okay so I finished #Somerville last night and whilst I don't think it gets near the heights that #Inside or #Limbo hit, it's still a decent game; especially from an artistic perspective. In short, it's stunning to look at, and has an incredibly atmosphere.

I just wish it felt more interesting to play. The moment to moment gameplay just didn't hit for me; especially in the first half. The game shifts somewhat in the final third and it's much the better for it.
