In my restless dreams, I see that town.

Silent Hill.

Cities Skylines 2 as a personal benchmark tool. A way of recognizing your growth as a human being while playing city simulators.

What do you value? What are goals?

It is easy to say that the technology is driven forward only by greedy fools, but we all know that somehow, somewhere it all started with a dream that had literally nothing to do with money.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and guided by a bunch of screaming kids that take all of your attention ;-)

Cities pictures... @i'm gettin there

I beat magical drop for the first time.
It was my first time trying out PRIESTESS and I managed to pull an ending. No high score though.

The Talos Principle 2.
Inherits some pixelation as seen in Cyberpunk 2077, but once you get a setting that works, it looks good.

i do enjoy my dress....

Hera - Grim Dawn *Defiler

It feels as i'm destined to finish Grim Dawn with hordes of Skeletons at my side!

* "Deviler" is an archaic noun that refers to someone who "devils" or operates a devil—in other words, a person who acts in a devilish or malevolent manner. In historical texts, it has been used to symbolize an individual whose actions or behavior mimic the mischief or wickedness traditionally associated with the devil .
While the term isn't common in modern language, its presence in older literature or religious discussions can evoke a sense of the ominous or the supernatural. Its rarity today makes it a fascinating example of how language evolves, sometimes leaving behind words that once carried rich, evocative imagery. If you're delving into historical vocabulary or exploring literary language from past eras, encountering a term like "deviler" opens up a window into the ways people once described complex, often dark qualities in human behavior.
There’s an interesting parallel in modern storytelling and gaming culture too. For instance, a game titled "Level Devil" might echo that same spirit of confronting devilish challenges, even if it doesn’t directly employ the term "deviler." This underscores how the concept of devilish behavior continues to influence creative expressions today. Would you like to dive into how archaic language informs modern narratives or perhaps explore more unusual words with historical significance?

It needs to be in more languages, but it's cool.
I prefer older games. The pixel art is very much out of this world.
I find myself staring at portions of the screen for longer than expected.
Seeing a factory's steam loop over and over...

Grim Dawn - Update Hera, Hera 2

Ys Origin. My second Nihon Falcom game (loved Xanadu Next) and I'm having a lot of fun with this one too, my first stroll into the Ys series. Yunica is adorable, the story is bonkers but charming, gameplay is enjoyable, environments pleasant to look at. Runs well on my potato, which is always nice.

Grim Dawn and Shadow Empire are my weekly entertainment for the moment.

Hera2 died, Hera 3 is on her path of becoming a shield throwing pestilence spreading women of a madness

Shadow Empire is fun as always, atm I'm feeling a bit like how i read about Rome.
In the midst of barbaric hordes, one city stands proud, etc etc.
After a particular trying period, with multiple state officials going rogue during a war for survival, a small light shines upon the people, promising a united front and a treasure trove of knowledge in the not so distant future

-excuse the colours, don't know what happened!?

Shadow Empire

-Rise and Fall of a City State.

Game of Thrones continues in full strength. While the internal fighting transformed in a comfortable truce between the many faces of the Vomirum Conglomerate laying siege to another city state's main capital for almost 2,5 years brought the cities reserves, of metal, food and men down to almost zero.

In the final battle, while won, we lost a beautiful blonde young commanders whose name will live on through the many videos shot of her while performing 'duty'. A sad day for the Federation! And its many inhabitants.

Meanwhile, rebel operations have grown out of control. Multiple armies containing thousands of rebels have stood up and are wreaking havoc in the province, endangering the freshly established supply route between the 2 cities, which is critical in maintaining control of the just acquired new territory.

With the situation slowly spinning out of control, the Vomirum Conglomerate decided to increase the amount of recruits for the army while activating a small group of technology advanced units that managed to survive the galactic war, further straining the economy towards a breaking point.

Shadow Empire

- Moar Guns DAKKA DAKKA

It seems my games of thrones story has reached the point where we can start to think,worry even, about Daenerys her mental condition. in short, in her conquest for a fair world she lost her perspective, this ended with a stab in the heart by a good friend

The deployment of 10 nuclear-powered medium tanks from a ancient time into service really changed the outcome of almost every engagement The Vomirum Conglomerate found itself committed to.
Ever since the rebels started running for their lives when those 10 tanks opened up from their 100mm mass driver guns we captured another 3 city states, founded 2 new colonies and found ourselves firmly on place 2 of the global standings network with a population thrice the size of our next contenders.
More people means a lot of other things more to. Things such as income, resource gathering, research. Maybe with the new dlc coming it might be more challenging to keep an empire together but based on the fact where i'm standing now i fear it is pointless to continue this, massacre.

Shadow Empire, turn 195 - Vomirum Conglomerate wins the world
