Oh man, this was me trying to defeat Detleff in the final boss fight of Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine DLC.

I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get to that fight in my Death March playthrough…

The gag in this screenshot is also a call-back to S1E05, where Peralta is interrogating a perp and trying to “annoy him into confessing” by playing a guitar poorly and screaming.

I love them all.

Except for the “blue steel” ones. It’s not even kind of a “blue steel” pose. Like not even a little bit. It’s inaccurate and uncreative and, even worse, just unfunny.

Well shit. This is a problem for me, since the Kleenex brand is the only one with a lotioned variety that stores in my neck of the woods seem to carry. My seasonal allergies get so bad that normal/un-lotioned tissues leave my nose rubbed raw, even if I’m medicated.

Hard to argue with that logic.

I’ve bought maybe 40 new games since I got my Steam Deck a year ago. I’ve played maybe a dozen of those, and only played two of them to completion.

I had to start with the Witcher 3, which is finished the main story for but never got around to the DLCs (because my parenting instincts are apparently so bad I got the worst ending possible on my first playthrough, which kind of soured playing any further).

Then I had to play the Mass Effect trilogy, because the Legendary Edition had just dropped and it had been so long.

Then I discovered Horizon Zero Dawn, and couldn’t put it down.

Ever since then I’ve been bouncing back and forth between games and franchises I simply never got around to in my teens and 20s — Assassin’s Creed, the Arkham series, Bioshock, Dishonored, Halo (God bless the Master Chief Collection) Kingdoms of Amalur, Portal (duh), Prince of Persia…

I’m slowly getting caught up on not just my Steam backlog, but 15 years worth of gaming I missed out on because I didn’t have the money.

Steam recommended a game called Inside Jennifer based on the fact that I played the Witcher 3. I understand they want to push the whole visual novel thing they’ve got going this week, but damn.

If that’s your experience, my friend, then your family members are trying to tell you something.

I’m definitely going to have to come back to this after work.

Accidentally the whole thing?

Dark mode just looks bad aesthetically, IMO. Maybe it’s something to do with my ADD, but I can’t focus for long on apps or pages using dark mode. They’re boring to look at.

When I first started modding Skyrim back in 2012, I spent a solid week solely on water mods looking for something I liked. One day near the end of the week I was walking to work, and I had to cross a bridge. I looked out over the water and had a momentary thought about checking what water mod “they” were using.

“On mobile, apologies for bad formatting.”

As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can’t be bothered, which means you’re not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

My 512GB Steam Deck, easily. I’ve used it almost every day for going on a year now, and the novelty of playing things like Witcher 3, or Mass Effect, or a fully modded Skyrim anywhere I want still hasn’t worn off.
