Benefitted from the silliest game glitch in #HorizonZeroDawn tonight. I was fighting a stormbird (super-big, super-mean robot bird monster) and it dove at me so hard that it got stuck below the terrain. All of the combat music and monstrous screeching kept going, so it took me a moment to really understand what had happened. Sadly I didn’t get the XP or loot from its defeat, but it at least didn’t block me from finishing the quest that said it depended on killing the stormbird, so I’ll take it.
fired up Horizon Zero Dawn for testing DualSense things; it's recognized as a DualShock 4 by the game, and I had to use Steam Input to enable gyro (but it does work just fine)
but anyway other than that, last time I played it, my setup couldn't really maintain 60 fps all that well. fast-forward 7 months and now it smooth as butter. AMD drivers really do be aging like fine wine
I started #HorizonForbiddenWest#PS5 nearly a year ago, and I think I was playing #HorizonZeroDawn around this time last year. I remember the jank from the first game (Guerrilla got a lot better with character animations), but I also remember the palpable sense of place. Beautiful games.
Sometimes I wonder if we're heading right into a Horizon Zero Dawn timeline given the chaos around the world right now. It sure feels like it. #horizonzerodawn
The Thunderjaw tiara idea came to me after I defeated one for the first time and then solidified after completing a quest where I had to find the heart of one.
This is a reminder that I want to replay #HorizonZeroDawn so that I can spend more time with its soundtrack. The in-game audio implementation in Forbidden West on PS5 is leagues ahead of its predecessor (thanks to new PS5 features), and it has gyro aiming, so it’s tough to go back.
Had a nice warm summer day, giving me the perfect excuse to play Horizon Zero Dawn on my Steam Deck! A game about being outside... am I doing this right?
A great #blogpost on #HorizonZeroDawn by @Monsterlady
As someone who loved the game, I also loved this #review. Be sure to check it out!
Be aware: there's some spoilers in the story!
Meridian is safe! HADES is no longer a threat.... or is he.... 🤔
I finally finished this masterpiece of a game! It got more exciting as I played and learned the lore. All these badass machines, cool characters, fun gameplay, the fun never stopped! 🤩 what a fight, what a game! Stay tuned for my review! ❤️
Eh, maybe that'll be locked to 60fps in the final release build? I'll give them the benefit of that since the last time I wrote a computer game was in 1981.
I suspect things have moved on since then. There's this CRAZY new thing called #sprites for a start! I got a telex about them!
But I can't forgive the terrible, terrible human graphics and dead faces glommed over the top of No Man's Sky.
Hallo! I’m trying to get a bit more social interaction in my life, so here I am writing an #introduction post on #Mastodon. :moogle_peek:
I’m Jaden (though I go by different names in different circles :bulbasaur_confused:). I have a silly potato (@nuz) and a silly sausage (#sillyDoggy). I’m fairly socially awkward, a bit #autistic and very #ADHD. :ms_neurodiversity: Sometimes I say very little and sometimes I say a whole heck of a lot, depending on the topic. I’ll probably be posting random facts or videos that I find particularly cool/amusing~ :cat_wow:
I love science (and have a PhD in #physics, but was it really worth it? :frog_think:) and maker videos that try to bring comic books and fiction to life (shoutout to #Hacksmith and #JLazerVideos, amazing folks)! I also really love technology (in particular, I really like #LTT / #LinusTechTips, although I know he can be a bit problematic :shiba_hide:).
I'm also an avid video gamer! :gaming_love: I play a lot of #RPG, #Survival, and #Automation games. Some of the ones that I've really enjoyed and/or played recently are:
Feel free to say hello, boost, follow, or any combo of the above! I'd love to make new friends on here, but I feel awkward a lot, so I might just end up favoriting your posts if I can't figure out what to say :panda_derp: (but I appreciate you nonetheless! :blob_heart:)
