Me and my Friend started on Halo Reach today. I know the Screenshot isn't of that, i forgot to get screenshots of that after i got distracted trying to keep track of which Data Pads i needed to get.

After Reach though, I introduced my younger siblings to Halo (as i felt i should pass it on since growing up i didn't have someone to pass it on to me, so i'd like to give them that experience). My previous attempt with Halo 1 with just the two of them doing split screen didn't go to well, because one of them was kind of being a dick to the other and killing him repeatedly. That was ages ago though, so i was hoping things had changed. Just in case though we did Halo 3 3-player Co-Op so i could be there to supervise.

I didn't realize that Player 3 (and presumably 4) got to be Elites. I really like that detail instead of just making them generic Master Chiefs like the older games. We ended up making it all the way to Floodgate before calling it quits. They played on easy mode, but that's okay because they were having fun and i needed the Easy Mode playlist out of the way anyways.

After they scuttled off to do whatever it is they do, i decided to use my time Achievement Hunting. I went through Halo 3 and tracked down Every Achievement i could find easily enough.

The first achievements on the block for me were the Primate ones. The were a bit difficult to find, i think partly because of my Monitors settings, but i had a lot of fun looking for it.

The next one i did was the developer one. I ended up using the Skull that lets you fly for it (and it was the only one i thought to use it for, for some reason).

And then, thankfully, the next few were multiplayer map ones. This one was from the Hippo one. I hopped into forge and scoured the floor for it. I ended up looking a while for it though because i thought it would be more obvious. While i was on this Multiplayer map trend i also got the Man on The Moon one and the Sounds Familiar one.

After this, i went and did the Cool Story Bro achievement. I struggled a bit on this one because i just can't get used to the Warthog Physics in Halo. They're just odd to work with for me. Luckily after about 20 minutes of attempts i made it.

And the finally, i did the Mind the Gap achievement. this is the one i wish i had used the Flying Skull for, because it took forever. Walking on foot to get all the warthogs. It was worth it personally for me though because i get to brag that i did it all without skulls (albeit due to my own negligence).

I didn't get a screenshot of this, but i also managed to do the entire first level of Combat Evolved on LASO. It wasn't as hard as i was expecting, but it was still a challenge. I started on the level Halo but had to stop because i was kind of trapped with just a Assault Rifle. I'm thinking of either going back at it with Co-Op, or starting the level over.

Me and my usual gaming buddy have finished Halo 4. We plan to move onto Halo Reach, but we also have wanted to play a little bit of Assassin's Creed Unity. So i decided to give it a bit of a dry test before playing multiplayer with my friend since Linux can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. The odd crop job is to remove personal info.

This game is probably one of my favorites of all time. It has that kind of nostalgia that can just bring you back to the moment when you first played it. It also has my favorite implementation of Parkour and Stealth. It took everything the Kenway Saga setup, and made it perfect. Not to mention the story and characters were some of my favorites.

As you can see, the game still has a few bugs, but they've almost entirely ironed them out from the horrific launch. There's nothing game breaking, and honestly this clipping issue with an NPC is the only one i encountered in my entire time playing.

I had spent a lot of the time i was playing practicing my Parkour and Stealth, and had a few clips i wanted to share in place of screenshots today that i really liked. But Bazzite has this weird issue with Steam's clip function where some games are just still frames. Halo MCC has this issue too. Oddly enough AC Rogue doesn't have this issue, so i'm not sure what it is. So instead here's a frame i ripped mid Parkour to share:

I continued playing through Pokemon Ultra Moon today. I made it all the way to the second island. I spent a lot of time systematically going through each route on the first island and clearing the dex of all the base forms i could find to help go towards my goal of a complete national dex in Pokemon Home, but overall today was very slow, so i didn't do many screenshots.

I also managed to snag a Everstone for my Litten after spending an hour searching for a Roggenrola in a cave. According to the wiki they have a 50% chance to hold one. I didn't have any open slots in my party to check though, so i just kept grabbing multiple after multiple. After all that work though i can safely say i kept my Litten from evolving.

I also revamped my party a bit. This probably won't be my final layout, but i have Kiva (my Litten), Bill, a Hawlucha a traded a Spearow for (which feels like a little unfair towards the person i traded too), A Butterfree i evolved after catching it on Route 1 (Which i need to come up with a nickname for), Uncle Tony, and Ash's Greninja from the Demo (which i'll probably also swap out for someone else, they're just kind of keeping the seat warm)

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated.

Today me and my friend Continued through Halo 4 Legendary since i'm bedridden today. We played through 3 more levels, and only have 3 left. I'm enjoying the story so far. The designs are a bit meh for me though, but that's just personal taste. They feel a bit generic Sci-fi to me.

There's this one section covered in trees in a swampy area i really enjoyed. having a scoped weapon here was a lot of fun. It made the combat in this area fun and unique.

There was also this section with a tank. Halo 4 has fixed a lot of my issues with the vehicle physics i feel like (though i miss the old janky ones a little bit too now after struggling with them for 4 games). I don't really care for the Charge meter on this one. It can be a bit hard to tell when i can fire again as opposed to the 4 dots below the reticle.

There was also this section with the Mech suit. It was fun to drive. Though, this section makes me feel like this game wasn't planned with Co-Op in mind because there was only one Mech. The whole game kind of gives that whole vibe though with the way the teleport points tug the other player around.

at the end of the very last level we did, i got a tank over a series of rocks i wasn't supposed too, thinking that there would be more combat. I spent nearly 5 minutes trying until i finally gained traction on some rocks. Only for it to turn out to be the end of the level. Me and my friend had a good laugh over it, and I still had fun trying to get it over the rocks though.

I caught the flu today. After much DayQuill and sleeping, I eventually found myself laying in bed playing Pokemon Ultra Moon on my 3DS. I originally was just working on transferring my Sonny dex over to Home, but then decided "fuck it, let's start on the Alola dex too". So I booted up the game and started it.

Funnily enough, the first time I played this game back in 2020, I played the OG version and not Ultra, because I thought Ultra was a direct sequel situation like Black & White 2. I only found out they were an expanded version after beating the originals.

For my Pokemon I ended up picking Litten. Its evolutions scare me though so I’m going to slap a Everstone on it to keep it from learning to be Bipedal.

While on my way to finish the tutorial, I noticed this truck which I want to know how the fuck it got in there. I feel like it’d be a pain to get in and out due to the angle. Also this town feels very redundant to have a truck for. The thing is so damn walkable that I could probably sprint from one side to the other.

Finally, I wanted to share my party. The Starter was following a trend I have of naming them after different Devices in my collection, and the rest were all made up on the fly based on what I could come up with. Bill’s Full name is “Bill Staleback” for some reason. It just came to me in the middle of my fever. Todd Howard came from my HG run when I was younger where I named everything I caught a variation of Todd Howard.

Ars called it their favorite of 2025 so far, and I'm enjoying it. Adds a nice if minor level of resource (health) management on top of regular Minesweeper. Free to play online.

If somehow id1 was wiped off of all computers in the world, do we collectively remember the maps well enough to recreate them?
