DM of the Rings Remastered CXXXIV: Hold Your Horses
I Think This Time of Year Every Year…
…things get a little bit busy. And by “busy” I mean sometimes **** just falls off the rails and you struggle to keep your head above water. That’s mixing metaphors quite badly, I think. Images of a train crash and going in the water in an uncontrolled way, which I guess *could* actually be related. The Well There’s Your Problem podcast did a great episode on the “Overseas Railroad” for the Florida Keys, where a train crash could literally throw you into the Atlantic Ocean. Or technically the Gulf of Mexico, I guess.

This week has been quite mundane.
I played a bit of Risk of Rain Returns. Nothing new there.
I also played a few Itch.io horror games. The only one worth mentioning is Microbial Sector. You are analyzing a bunch of objects and marking what microbes are present. that’s mostly it, it’s pretty short but got a good spook.
How are things for everyone else?

Wednesday Action Log 09-17-25
This week I’ve started to get back into Risk of Rain Returns.
It had a small update recently, and I’ve been trying to find the two new items without just using the command artifact.
Other than that. I’ve played some more itch.io horror games. The highlights this week are: ThePale. You play as a replacement lighthouse keeper, and while you’re getting settled in you accidently brake some unknown machine, and shortly after that a large storm starts to roll in. It has the first resident evil’s style of controls, and camera, which is a little clunky at first, but I think it worked in it’s favor. It’s just a demo right now, but the moment it has a full release, I’m going to play it.
Next is Descending. You’re playing as a drill operator that has to keep the drills running for “war efforts“. It’s not exactly clear what war, but It’s one of those games were you’re operating a console with a bunch of buttons and dials as most of the game play, which might not be for everyone, but I love hitting a bunch of buttons as the primary gameplay.
Last is. A Place, Forbidden. A game where you wake up from a nap to find yourself in an unknown library, and while trying to leave you keep stumbling further into the library. This one I don’t think I can do much to explain it more than that because a lot of the story comes from reading the books throughout the library.
I know my pitches for the games are a little lackluster. I’m slowly working on trying to write better, but it’s slow going.
Anyway, What’s everyone else doing?
From The Archives:
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Marvel's Civil War
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
The Game That Ruined Me
Be careful what you learn with your muscle-memory, because it will be very hard to un-learn it.
My Music
Do you like electronic music? Do you like free stuff? Are you okay with amateur music from someone who's learning? Yes? Because that's what this is.
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
The Mistakes DOOM Didn't Make
How did this game avoid all the usual stupidity that ruins remakes of classic titles?
