Though I've been playing for a while, this is the first time I've sat down to write about it. I know there are some nay-sayers, but I've found quite a bit to enjoy in this game!

After the weekend off, I’m back on my Octopath Traveler 2 bullshit. This time, a new focused approach. Going to do just the 4 characters, finish their stories, then do the other 4. Less to manage, less disjointed, more focused.

I've been contacted by a law student in Seattle. She's writing a law review note on the and following in my footsteps by discussing the rarely-discussed concept of misuse. She's citing my work and, I hope, adding more to the argument. I hope this is a trend. More information is better, but I'm tired of arguing about it.

I just think it would be interesting and distinctive for one (1) character in the party to actually use an actual weapon literally ever.

MANY years ago, I backed a for a set of dwarven . They've always been a lower priority than everything else. But tonight, I came really close to finishing one of the best from the set -- the Undead Dwarf.

This is without washes, but with a rust effect on his armor. Next stop: Soft Tone for the bones and Dark Tone for everything else. Then Matte Varnish.

Been thinking about rivers on maps in fantasy games. (hat tip to @kensanata ) Most fantasy maps show just a couple of rivers. But water is everywhere in the real world. This colorful map of England's rivers gives a hint. So making rivers on a fantasy map becomes a question of how much fidelity you want to portray.

So & fans... I'm struggling with Octopath Traveler 2. I can handle random battles, but that combined with super disjointed stories & very restrictive party management is making the game less fun and more burdensome and/or disruptive.

I'm thinking of switching (pun intended) to Terra Memoria for a fun, cozy experience.

Anyone else struggle with OT2?

Things you realise once you reach .

  • You can finish and become rich in . But as a Forever28, you can't duplicate your success.
  • You can win every single game of and , but not as a Forever28.
  • You play (the original) without cheating (especially the duplicate cheat). As a Forever28, you can't even imagine how you played Diablo without cheating.

Most important of all: you still don't like games. Games like / (text-based online ), , dungeon crawlers, and isometric games, are still your go to .

Sinon, je suis actuellement en train de refaire la carte physique d'Eldoran, monde imaginaire abritant la cité volante d'Argona.
Sur l'image, je débute les reliefs du continent de Norumbega.

And I'm currently working on a new version of a map of Eldoran, fantasy world hosting the flying city of Argona.
I'm starting the shaded reliefs of the continent of Norumbega.

Et voilà Tianàng. Ne reste plus que le continent polaire sud d'Œhlasna (et des vues polaires sur le cadre).

A gauche, l'île d'Aolai (première carte épinglée sur mon profil).

And here is Tianang. Still the southern polar continent of Œhlasna to do (and some polar views on the frame).

On the left, Aolai, (first map pinned on my profile).
