I feel like I’m ironing out the few issues I’ve had with Bazzite but one of the most annoying is just… an inability or inaccessibility to install Ubisoft Connect? I mean I’d use it in the way any other Steam user does as just something else that has to launch before playing Uno or Far Cry.

Toy Story 5: God DAMMIT, every time they announce another one they somehow come up with a good film. If I were Disney, I'd look at Pixar, how they make movies and how they still make bank and keep letting them do their thing. Easy money. ... WHAT DO YOU *MEAN* THEY'RE LAYING THEM OFF??

I’m really glad I’ve got what feels like appropriate hardware for AAA games again. But also goddamn, in trying to be big and mainstream they are so hit-or-miss on whether they resonate with you. You gamble so much more on the entry fee to even know if you’ll like a AAA game compared to an indie.

I’m finding Immortals of Aveum interesting so far but it seems like the HDR is kinda busted? Like I get the sense the brightest areas aren’t meant to look like this? (If anyone happens to see this and knows a fix, I’ll share PC specs).

I played 3 hours of Mad Max yesterday, got a bit bored and felt I should stop in a bit, then another 3 hours passed. This game would’ve bored me so much in 2014 but idk I guess I’m of the right age and mindset now, time fucking flies by as I play.

I *might* do some more art tonight but focusing on self care after a really hard week. That said, shoutout to @drhotelmario.bsky.social for showing me a method that’s so much faster *and* better than the anatomy methods I was trying to follow lol

Is good, give it a watch

Yakuza 0 lost me after becoming illegible for a refund lol. Mad Max right now has got its hooks into me as a real time-sink. Story I can skip, continuous upgrading, nice meaty combat, but crucially, all of it not running at a super intense speed. I can switch off and shoot the shit with friends.

I promised myself a long time ago to *never* hide my heart again. No matter how bad things get, no matter how much pain I’m in, I will *never* let myself go numb. It felt like my body or my subconscious was doing that on its own from today feeling like ‘nam. But NEVER again. I choose to heal.

Just waiting on a cooler agh

Had watched it a ton growing up and maybe the odd time in the years since but I never got the high praise for The Incredibles. It felt overrated to me. Yeah uh nah, it’s still really damn good overall.

The Odyssey: Honestly, first Nolan film since Interstellar that I wouldn’t mind rewatching. Either with subtitles or in IMAX, both with friends either way. But still a mixed bag. It’s at its best focusing on these vignettes with Matt Damon and his followers. It’s harder to engage everywhere else.

I’m a little on the fence about my next art piece. I’ve got that one sketch of my inner child crying I can adapt, and I’ve done another, much kinder sketch yesterday that’s ready for the art piece treatment. I don’t want to do what doesn’t come naturally, but also both are along the same journey.

I think I’ll go and see The Odyssey tomorrow just at my nearest cinema. No IMAX. If I enjoy it enough for a rewatch in IMAX then great. If not, well, at least this cinema has reclining seats so I can sleep.

I’m highly likely to be (re)watching more Pixar films cause inner child stuff, and I stuck on A Bug’s Life to get it out of the way. Going from Monsters Inc to this feels so jarring. Like after Toy Story they went wild with the scope and made it just a harder film to focus on? Doesn’t land for me.

Monsters Inc hits so, so damn different for me now.
