  • Finishing up Pentiment probably later today, and it will be nice to have it over and done with. I will appreciate having played it, but I can’t say actually playing it was all that fun. It’s beautiful, it’s well-researched and it has some interesting plots and characters in it but… god damn is it ever slow. Between the laboriously slow and often banal and uninteresting conversations and the lack of fast travel leading to half your playing time being watching your character slowly waddling across Tassing the game feels like an absolute slog to play.

    I’ve been breaking up the tedium with Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. I’ve had my eye on it as it’s written by Bloodlines-writer Brian Mitsoda, and at 25% off on the summer sale I thought why not.

    It’s a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far. The combat has been solid, the build diversity seems great and the bosses have been good. The game is beautiful with a lovely art style and the level design is really good too.

    From what I’ve seen so far I recommend checking it out if you like these types of games!











  • I have a lifelong friend with Addison’s and it always seemed horrible to have to constantly manage and worry about. And he was fortunate enough to not also have Diabetes!

    I adore your posts and will miss them dearly, but please take care of yourself and focus on your health. Don’t push yourself, if I understand right extra stress is particularly bad.

    Much love ♥️


  • I’ve had drinks on methylphenidate many times and it hasn’t been a problem. Well, the biggest problem was getting a worse buzz from the drink, really. Probably wouldn’t recommend heavy drinking, especially if you’re on higher doses, but a glass of whiskey in the evening every now and then should be fine. Depending on when you take your meds in the morning and when you have your evening glass of whiskey most of the methylphenidate will probably be out of your system anyway.
