19. Forgotten Hill Disillusion [for fun]

Was hoping for a Rusty Lake like and it definitely had some of what I was looking for.

It got too difficult, I had to resort to a guide, but I really liked the core concept and ideas.

It’s hard to recommend and I’m glad it’s over, but I still enjoyed it?

18. Loop Hero [dropped]

It’s a cool game, I don’t think I’ve seen all it has to offer, but it’s not getting its hooks in me.

I feel happy enough to drop it because I’m not very engaged and have a million other games to play.

I beat the first boss, that will do me just fine.

Thank you too, we really enjoyed it! 🧗‍♀️

CtrlAltNoob Hey, I am Noob ✨ Over here we love to play story games, getting immersed in the atmosphere and deep diving into the game. I am catching up with the games that I have missed over the years, old and n...

⏸️ All of my content is currently on pause as I am working my way through some big life changes ⏸️

I look forward to being back but I can’t say when.

In the meantime, there are mega archives on both YT and my blog, and I will post about my other gaming adventures here.

Over 20 hours into playing Sons of the Forest (multiplayer) and man this is a good game.

We are still constantly finding new things, meeting new enemy types, and the building is so satisfying.

Horror moments that blend really well with the comedy of co-op play. Really good so far.

The heart of the game

The art of the game

The ugliness of people

The tragedy of people

The irony of people

The hope of people

All live in my brain. And it encourages me daily that people successfully and universally articulated so much, through a bloody video game. Just beautiful.

It’s been well over a year now and I still cannot stop thinking about 1000xResist.

Every single angle of the narrative is compelling. I will never cease to be in awe of the confidence of the storytelling, the unapologetic messaging, the relevance to most everyone.

It’s miracle of a video game.

Just wanted to share some wise words from the lighthouse keeper. May or may not start a quote thread. 💖

Game: Calico

Welcome to my Indie Showcase series, where we are going to begin looking at free-to-play short indie games with something to say! Then we will expand onto more indie content, including longer experiences, demos, betas and quick looks! I adore indie games and I love not only playing them myself but Cairn | Indie Showcase Live | CtrlAltNoob

While it may occasionally look goofy, Cairn manages to make your hands and brain work together in a tactile experience that I can't say I have had before.

Ahh I’m so glad! ❤️

I’m not sure long for, maybe next week I’ll decide I want to boot up the stream, but I know I have a difficult few months ahead so until I feel a little more stable I will take the time I need.

Can’t wait till then, I already miss the shenanigans 😔

Hi all, just an announcement that I am going on hiatus from streaming for a while.

I am going through a huge transitionary period irl and it is taking all of my time and energy right now. I am emotionally exhausted, have infinite tasks to do and unfortunately something had to give.

Who’d have thought that irl decorating would occupy a similar part of the brain that House Flipper or Powerwash Sim does when it comes to dealing with difficult brain.

Unfortunately it’s infinitely slower than those games so it doesn’t quite satisfy the ADHD side as much 😅

City of Voices is a Golden Idol like that I think finds a great balance between showing you what you need and making you think.

17. Calico [streamed then for fun]

I’ve finally finished Calico after a hilarious stream years ago naming all of the animals after chat.

This game is a whimsical fever dream of the highest degree.

Its so incredibly janky. Some bad bugs but mostly silly and unexpected things that add to the charm.

😆

This makes me so happy 😄 I request no one judge me for my actions in the playthrough of this game.. 😅

Watch as we manage to manage to both lose our minds and big brain the heck out of the Word Play Demo!

Lots of fun to play alone and together.

So now I’m back from my holiday I’m trying to make the effort to sort out my evening routine, which means making time for gaming

Getting back to my backlog list, last night I picked Calico back up

What an absolute fever dream of a game

We finally got to try the No, I'm not a Human demo after being unable during LudoNarraCon. It was a weird, creepy, uncanny treat that I could have continued playing long into the night.
