Firstly, rapping has been insane. I made a rap/death/doom metal album, made a 38 track greatest hits.

Here's my new album: https://whatsacow.bandcamp.com/album/cumming-out-party

I've been putting out 5 tracks a day because there are upsides to mental health. My mind is always racing at like 300 miles a minute and now they're all rap lyrics. My new album is entirely off top with 2 exceptions. Here's the lyrics for Rap Juice:

 

Articulate Artesian Animated Actor

Alienates Amateurs Actually Automatic

Blistering Verses Battling Battle Rappers

Because of this Bovinic Bastard Boom Bapper
Castrating Criminals Cynical Inner Cynic is Cold

Concaving Skulls Creatively

Dick Dastardly Dyke Doing

Drugs Dying Defiantly

Elephant emptying entropy

into the epitome of empty

Fix fixes feists fits fat suffices

Fuck finches finally euphanising

Good God Glorious Gosh Great gift of the Gab

Growing giant glowing gushing gonads

Holding hands homosapien homoerectus

hoping humping homosexuals homoerotically

Individually Isolated Indifferent indecent

Icy ignorance instill ill impotence like an iguana

Jester jesting juxtaposed joking jaded

Jumping jacks jack jill jonesing for some juana

Killing kretins kombating kunts kold kanye

Licking life's little lethargic lhabia

Likened to Lj, Little Wayne, and a Lama.

Milo must meet me as an mc metal maniac

maudlin, metallica, megadeth with melody

Niggardly not nice ninja nitpicking knowedgably

Not knowing now no not numeral Nagasaki's

Omeboy Open Mike Opens Orifices

Openly twist origami like okami

Penis penetrating people painfully

Pope's pumping pricks panally

Quite Queer Quoting Quinten Quit

Quitting the Question, Quite queerly

Rap Raptor Raping Republicans

reaching rap rapture retired recycling

Supercalifragilisticexpealodocious

Serene Celibate supercillious sporadic

Teens turn tables to transition tastefully

taking tokes of trees twisted with tobaccy

Universal, unique, untouched

uber unadulterated ugly slut

Vain veins very visibly viciously venacular

vocabulary blistering vatican vectogrammar

Which Witch sandwitched with Wright, Wells, weeks

Xenophobic, Xylophone, Zealous Excommunicated

Extremely extraverterted ecstatically X-Filing

Zealous Zealout Zoning Zeal Xenophobically

Zombie Stepping Xanadu Xanadax Zoophobically

 

So, that's insane and took like 20 attempts on various beats. Was going to be over Blackalicious' Alphabetics but I'm better than him and had too many bars.

 

One of my favourite rappers liked my stuff.

 

But enough self promotion shit. I've been pretty good for the last two weeks on Seraquil. It's balanced my head out though I can't drive because I keep having micro naps which means I don't actually sleep for like 52 hours at a time.

 

Lately though the aggression has come back. I don't like that. I was feeling better and now I don't feel like I'll ever get better.

 

But... VIDJA GAMES!

 

Haven't played many because I've been really busy. But I have played Cuphead, Hob, and Vaporum.

 

Cuphead currently feels unfair to me. Gameplay takes a backseat to art in some instances. You can parry anything that's pink, but there's also purple shit and no colour blind options. There are also places that look like they'd be secrets in any other game of it's ilk that's just a pit that does damage. But it is really good apart from those complaints. It's like Mega Man mixed with Contra and others, but it feels unique.

I haven't played much of Hob but it seems pretty sweet. The Torchlight guys basically made a very pretty Zelda game.

 

And Vaporum might be one of my games of the year. If you like Etrian, Wizardry, or Grimrock, get on this. It's better than those games and it's STEAMPUNK! It adds a lot to the genre, and has a lot of surprises. Also it has options I've never seen that should be in every game. You can make it so the movement is more smooth and you move faster. There's an option to turn the map off and only save at the start of levels (seen that one before but still great for us pen and paper advocates), and there's an option to use hardware cursor so if the game dips frames the mouse movement will still move smoothly.

 

That's all. I'm out.

never heard of Vaporum. Gonna look it up in a minute. INteresting thoughts on Cuphead. I've been interested, but would rather watch a friend play to enjoy the art rather than play myself.  

Keep on rappin!  Haven't had time to listen yet, but I'm very glad you have been productive. It definitely helps.

It's all I can do currently. I think you'd love cuphead personally. And Vaporum. Get on that shit snee!

You get namedropped on greatest hits but as pattern rider. I'm learning!

Bro Wizardry 7 is considered one of the greatest CRPGs of all time. Vaporum would have to be special indeed to top that. Speaking of, have you played Grimoire? Heavily inspired by Wiz7. Was in development for 20 years. Yes, 20 YEARS.

I haven't but have always wanted to. Idk if it's close to Wizardry 7 as that's one of the few in the series I haven't played. However it's at least as good as Wizardry 8. What really makes it special is the creepy as fuck atmosphere and how it gradually builds until you almost feel you're in a horror game.

The story feels like it could be in an Amnesia game, and the writing is superb. The gameplay is a little generic for the genre but there are some unique touches that I won't spoil.

I bought the game but have a review copy that I could send you the file of if you want to try it.

Sure, that would be great. Almost horror makes any game better imo

That cuphead flower is how I imagine you while rapping. 

That kick off the edge at the end of the Vaporum trailer I watched (and won't be embeded darn it) is SO Dark Souls. I love it.

I was going to say something but some of the things you uncover are later are very from software.
