Not sure if I'll bounce off this or not, but starting today's stream with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag! Only played a few hours of this AGES ago.

All that being said, I still had enough fun that I am curious to try it's edgier sequels to see if I like them more.
Plus a few other entries in the series I thought looked interesting:
- Prince of Persia (2008 reboot)
- Forgotten Sands (Wii version)
- The Lost Crown
I do think it's a good game with some unique ideas, like time reversing to make fatal mistakes in combat and platforming less frustrating.
And I love the delicious healing water.
For me it's just not a "great" tier game today. A remake easily had room to improve the weakest elements.
Playing the PC port definitely gave some extra frustration.
- super quiet audio mixing in cutscenes
- some control issues till I found a workaround to get a controller to work halfway in
- I hear the fiddly camera issues weren't a problem on console.
My hot take of 2026 is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is an over hyped nostalgia game.
The platforming is fun!
The combat encounters felt like they had too many enemies for your simple moveset.
I liked elements of the story, but the pacing threw me off and I didn't like the characters.
Managed to get a controller working through Steam, so hopefully that makes parts of the game a lot less finnicky 😅

Still slightly sick so I'm trying some other games before Expedition 33.
Trying Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the first time since I guess you can't remake 2003 perfection or something ;)

Ooh apparently someone made such a mod for the original Age of Empires 2!
I have not played a single Age of Empires game, but random idea
Age of Vampires! 🦇
Am I the only one disappointed that despite this box art,
RE8 does not in fact take place in some crazy alternate timeline where Chris "Boulder-punching" Redfield is also a mold werewolf?
I just hope that the characters, however they are incorporated, are treated respectfully.
No backtracking on character growth for the sake of creating new arcs. They could even just do one shot episodes of what the characters are up to post BG3.
Of course, I'm assuming it will be live action based on the showrunner's other work.
An animated series could be really cool and a much better way to go since they could cast the voice actors and do all the crazy cool D&D magic and monster stuff easier.
It is planned to be "a continuation of the story."
Which means they will be picking endings for everything in this adaptation and those might be considered canon for WotC stuff moving forward.
Presumably just all the happy endings, but you never know 🫠
Never thought I'd be so anxious of something I actually like being adapted to the screen but here we are

Pinterest suggests my style is "Edgy" based on the saved pins in my Fashion Collage board.
Dang Pinterest calling me out like that 😭
I beat the Balatro! Think this was my third ever run?
Used the dagger joker to build up a multiplier around 40, had two x1.5 multiplier jokers and a deck mostly focused on face cards.
Was going for a clubs flush focus but I always get jokers for pairs and boost pairs early to survive 😅
Been sick with presumably the flu. Feeling well enough today to get out of bed and get some streaming in while I recover.

Pictured is a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. The outside is green with shiny gold embossed icons from the series with some minor wear and tear.
Snagged this for $2 in pretty good condition! Always wanted a copy 😍
Its the witchy hour yet again!

I think it's too late for Xbox to turn their reputation around for publishing mismanaged and underwhelming games plus other poor business decisions, but I hope this one is a hit.
Looks like the devs put a lot of heart into it and that always deserves recognition regardless of who is financing it
The new Fable actually looks interesting.
Highlights of the showcase for me:
- Fencing swordplay (though I hope the impact camera shake can be toned down)
- Potential of the sandboxy/life sim NPC interactions. Hope many characters involved fun good stories to encourage me to mess with/help them
Live again in the witchy hour!
