I just spent a whole 7 hours stream of trying to spawn and progress the Narciuss story in Hades 2... I am losing my mind!

At this point its pretty safe to say that Hades 2 is gonna be my game of the year unless something else comes out in the next couple months. This thing SLAPS!

MORE! Stream live!

Hot DAMN is Hades 2 good! I just want to play more so without further delay here we go!

I held of on playing Hades 2 till now cause I wanted to play it when it was fully complete so here we go! Time to bust out another 100% completion play-through! Pretty excited for this one I loved the first game!

Thats it for me for this Path of Exile 2 season. Sadly I'm at the point where I have more meh things to say about PoE2 than exciting and its showing on stream. So we are gonna move on and let them cook.

Video for Ignite Inferanlist tomorrow but...

Time to checkout some indies!

I wish I could equip 2 of the same skill gem in Path of Exile 2 now since there isn't another skill for clear and bossing on a Ignite Crossbow character... right now I gotta do a gem swap the old school way and it just feels janky...

The one time I wish I had a bigger audience is to answer the questio: Has anyone actually tried to make a methodical combat action RPG?
15+ second encounter time
No standalone trash/normal mobs
Packs are magic+ have enemies that dash/heal/cc/buff/wall.
Players have the same kit.

Ignite scaling in Path of Exile 2 still baffles me...
PoB 1: Surround Helmet (just to see)
PoB 2: Actual Ignite Scaling
PoB 3: Just gonna send it on Crit...
Yeah so crit it is again!

Sure would make the campaign a bit more interesting if we could use more tools earlier on. Could learn and shape builds on the fly rather then waiting to get to the start line.

Day off taken and Silksong beat so now it's time to go back to some Path of Exile 2 and check out this cursed bow... I don't know why but I want to poke things with it. Time to level to 46 before we can even begin...

Taking the night off to do a little bit of nothing. See you all tomorrow going back to Path of Exile!

There it is Silksong complete! Overall an amazing game. Its hard to come after the OG Hollow Knight and while I think the OG was slightly better Silksong still lives up to being a damn good game. Little things here and there I found boring or annoying but most was lots of fun!

Just finished the jumping puzzle in the mushroom quest of Silksong... boy howdy was that something. I ate a whole bag of dried apricots while doing it to keep my sanity. That was a bad idea.

Its Silksong TIME! Oh baby I'm so hyped!
More PoE2 once we beat this thing!
Stream live early!

There was a mountain lion screaming in my yard... uh yeah I'm gonna stay indoors for today...

Bug report worked! Frost Bomb Spell Cascade is fixed and now I can finally buy an amulet instead of the +1 Limit amulet I've been using!
Also Silksong tomorrow! SO hype!

The more of Path of Exile 2 I play the more I feel that Path of Exile 1 was playing with Legos where as 2 is building Ikea furniture. Now don't get me wrong if I get some shelves to build I'm gonna have a blast but if I get 10 shelves to build... yeah pass me the Legos.

Slapped on one of the new Undying Hate jewels with Kurgal for Sacrifice of the Mind and now we got a lot of mana! After finally slogging through the Path of Exile 2 campaign the builds ramping up nicely in maps to almost recommendable! More Archmage Infusion Firestorm stream go!

YouTube video by DireGray How to generate Infusions for Tri-Elemental Firestorm!

A quick and dirty video on how I am generating Infusions for Tri-Elemental Firestorm in the current Path of Exile 2 league! It's janky and has to work around a lot of bugs but it works!

PSA FireStorm enjoyers in Path of Exile 2 this season it still has the old Payoff downside of 'Cannot Ignite' even though it no longer interacts with Ignite in the same way. I was hoping to use it with Siphon Elements but yeah...

Onwards to bashing head on wall!

It's rough atm to know what will and won't end up working in some way late game. I'm probably gonna keep trying to get Firestorm working somehow since maybe it's just really awful in acts. Hopefully Icestorm works out!

Got to Act 4 of the new Path of Exile 2 league with the Infusion Stormweaver & I really just can't understand the design idea or balance of the Infusion skills. They just seem to suck? All the work to spawn a 3 infusion Firestorm & it can barely hit a normal crab on the beach...

Small rant... but man leveling a Elemental Infusion Stormweaver thru the first couple acts of Path of Exiels 2s campaign is by far the worst slog I've done in the history of the game... Using Spark w/ OoS, Elem Curse, Frost + Living Bomb for Infusions, Flamewall & its SO SLOW!

Is time once again to LOGIN and build a build of building blind! Gonna league start Stormweaver of Firestorm Infusions for Path of Exile 2 Third Edict lets see how poorly this will go!

Stream is live!

Checkin out Steam Demos stallin for PoE 2s update & Ive learned I really dont enjoy games that have multiple cooldowns at the same time to manage! The moment my eyes check the bottom bar for CD icons I lose interest. Let me do cool things always at 50% power without CD please!

I love the emotes my chat finds to add! We spent like 3 hours last night talking about the rules and logistics of ranked competitive shitting cause of this thing!

Last Epochs season 3 is up and since I skipped season 2 I'm sure there is a lot of new stuff to see so let's dive in!

Taking the night off to do a whole lot of nothing! See y'all tomorrow!

Been a while since I put out a indie game dev update so here is where I've gotten to so far in Unreal Engine! The hex grid now spawns buffered so performance is good. The walls are temp but show kinda how the system will create a forest labyrinth that the player can see through!

I am so hyped to play through Stellar Blade and when I booted it up I was super surprised to see the extent of the accessibility options! This is what all triple A games need to have now adays! Onwards we go!
