Squirrel With a Gun

"Hey, this game looks fun!" I said to myself naively. "Sure, there's one area full of lava, but that's probably a challenge area or something. It'll be confined to that area, surely!"

So, for those that don't know, I have a legitimately debiliating phobia of lava and magma. If I imagine it, it's literally enough to keep me from sleeping. That's how bad it is. So when I opened the game up, and the first area is full of lava (in a secret bunker, no less), I thought "okay, but this will probably be one of the few areas that have it, right?" Then I get to the overworld, open the door to a random house, and see the floor is lava.

Can't play it. It's a really fun demo, though.

[Switch] Pokémon Violet: Shiny hunting for a Tropius.
[Steam/PC] Everafter Falls: Got as far as the first mini boss which was a cactus monster. I beat it and am still looking for the big boss of the 3rd dungeon. I've yet to find it, but I will one day soon.

Oh there's a demo? I didn't know that.
I'm a little surprised that someone could have a phobia of lava or magma considering you're unlikely to ever encounter it in reality unless you were to go actively looking for it.


Minecraft - Drehmal: Apotheosis (PC)
So this is the custom map I mentioned in my last post, but at this point the thing is worthy of just saying I'm playing it as its own game. Like, besides having been built in Minecraft this entire map is on par content wise to any AAA release, both in terms of scale and quality. We must have poured dozens of hours into this already and we're not even 50% into the main questline, and the new area we just discovered is such a huge build it'll probably take us 10+ hours to explore it all fully. I've seen some impressive builds in Minecraft before but the quality of some of the builds in this map are among if not the best I've ever seen anyone do in this game. For the developers of this map/mod to put it all out for free is insane because what they've made is easily worth $40+ based on what I've experienced so far.

Astro Bot (PS5)
Beat the first two areas, and have yet to start the third one. This game is easily my GotY without question.

No, there isn't. I was cracking a joke about how far I got in the game (20 minutes) before realizing I couldn't play it. And yes, it's basically impossible to run into unless you go to a geologically active area, but considering falling into lava is legitimately one of the worst deaths you can imagine (mainly because its not instant), I think I can be justified in my terror, if only a little bit.

The Talos Principle 2

I made a start on the 10th zone (out of 12)... I didn't solve many puzzles, but I did get both of the gold stars !

Not to bury Moony further, but to further your point, Maniak: phobias are irrational fears; they don't need a rhyme or reason for them to exist. They simply just do. Traumas can be brought on by the simplest, most unassuming things, and the brain is far more sinister at crafting behind the scenes than you'd like to imagine lol

Critter Cove [Steam/PC]: I just started a file yesterday and went to give old Shark face my stuff so he was able to build me a boat out of a bathtub. Now I can actually get to the next island over. I went to go and see what I needed to help Copperbottom with before I saved and quit. I still need to take apart some more motors before I can build a broken one. Yea, that's a thing in this game. lol

Genshin Impact

Did Spiral Abyss on the night before it's reset for the new month cycle, big mistake for my two F2Ps as I didn't have enough time to re-adjust teams for Floor 12, EU had to stop at 29 stars and not even complete 12, NA at least completed it but only 33 star, not 36 star like my main account. Finished ascending Mualani on my EU F2P but her artifacts are nowhere near ideal to even consider her properly for the Abyss, perhaps can conjure something up before Theater's reset to use her in it. Completed Imaginarium Theater on my main early, easier than I thought apart from two Acts (7 & 8) when I had non ideal teams for them to get the stars but not too bothered by it.

Wuthering Waves

Not doing much, oh like Abyss I left completing stages in the Tower of Adversity so only got 6 stars, did get 9 stars but it reset before I could claim the rewards for the last 3 stars. Bah. I can't fully complete it yet anyway, don't have a third team ready yet, my second team is only good enough for the first stages in it, not 2-4.

Unicorn Overlord

Got back into the game after not playing for some weeks or even a month or so. Finished the Elven region (not correct name), moving into the Beast region next.

[PC/Steam] Critter Cove: I was able to buy the broken motor I needed from Renard. I then built the thing I needed and then went around the island taking a lot of the streetlights apart. I took apart at least 9/12 I could find then started to research some potted plants so I can start planting seeds in my game soon. I saved after all that & quit for the day.

[Switch] Pokemon Sword: I started up a new file since it's been a while. I picked scorebunny as my starter and then quit after going into the foggy woods trying to save a sheep.
