Sky: CotL – Without a Cape aka “Hard Mode”

I have been setting up a couple of secondary accounts on Sly, to send Hearts to myself, because you need a zillion hearts and there isn't any reliable way to accumulate them with any speed. Even having alts, it's slow as heck. With the Steam version of the game, this is a lot easier to do, especially since I have several machines capable of running the game. Ideally, I might automate this task, but for now, I am fine with doing it manually. I probably won't do it consistently either since sending hearts takes 3 candles, which are easy to…

Fortnite Desperately Needs More Preset Slots

There are currently 100 slots available. Given the sheer number of items available there really needs to be a larger limit. Each battle pass has 7-8 new skins added, each with different styles and colors, which can drastically change the skin enough that it's basically two skins. One could easily want several pre sets for the same skin. This doesn't even get into buying skins from the shop. I like to change skins a lot and I have a lot of pretty alright set-ups. I really wish I could have more though. It's easy enough to change skins, but then…

Review – Hogwarts Legacy (PC)

(Note, this is long.... like, rally long.... 5000 words long....) Hogwarts Legacy is a game with a lot of controversy surrounding it. I'll probably mention it a bit, but I really don't plan to delve too deep into the topic, if I did it would be part of a separate, larger post. Well, the main controversy involving Rowling's stupidity online, among other things. The other, less critical controversies around the game itself I'll get a bit more into. I also want to put out two things, up front. One, I received this game from an online raffle, I didn't buy…

Review – Soul Blazer (SNES)

On a bit of a whim, I decided to pick up and play through Soul Blazer for the SNES. I know I have heard of this game previously ages ago, probably in Nintendo Power, I'm surprised I never tried it in the past honestly. Anyway, it turns out it's a bit of a hidden gem of a game. It kind of feels like if Gauntlet and Zelda had a baby, though it's better than Gauntlet, not as good as Zelda. You play as this sort of spiritual angel entity, come to the world to save it from destruction, except the…

Review – Blaster Master Zero (PC)

Growing up in the 80s, my friends and I played a lot of NES games. One of our absolute favorites was Blaster master. It had a lot of unique elements to it for the time, specifically, the back and forth exploration of areas, and the cool car, which you could eject from. Though at the time there wasn't a term for it, it was very much in the vein of Metroidvania games. Mostly open world exploration, returning to zones with new abilities and upgrades, all very much hallmarks of that type of game. The series seemed to, not really go…
