Hello everyone. This past week I've been grinding more balatro and also played Elden Ring: Nightreign. I was only able to play one session but I am enjoying it so far. I have to make some edits to the control scheme because I forgot how much I hate it when the X button isn't jump. Hope everyone has a good week ahead

Finished another level in Celeste: Strawberry Jam Collab - Forest Rush. This one is neat because you get a skateboard. I've also made it most of the way through Toggle Theory.

I also started playing Doom again. Set up dsda-doom, dicked around with Fluidsynth to use a classic Gravis Ultrasound soundfont, and grabbed a couple new wads. Boomer: Beyond Vanilla and Down the Drain.

Boomer in particular is fucking sick. Original MIDI soundtrack, some of the most detailed vanilla-compatible (limit removing) maps I've ever seen, and the ambushes are devious, clever, and relentless. Constantly getting flanked by demons appearing where I least expected. Every time a trap springs and the room fills up with demons, you backtrack towards the way you came in only to find a wall of imps or pinkies blocking your escape. There's a lot of back-tracking in this wad, and you can never trust that you're safe just because you cleared a room earlier. I go to a "safe" room, let go of my mouse to take a drink of water, and then there are like six new zombiemen hitscanning me.

Down the Drain is a pretty wacky oldschool sort of map pack. Very organic layouts, very not over-detailed, sets the SSG aside and gives you tons of rockets right from the beginning. I've only played the first level, but it seems fun. The type of wad that will throw a cyberdemon at you on MAP01, but not in a slaughter map kind of way. It's also pretty sneaky, because it's tucked away in such a way that you say "I'll come back around and deal with him later," Then you forget about it and it pops up rather far from where you last saw it and kills you. Takes just long enough for that hoof stomp sound effect to fade out of consciousness.
