Tak! @Tak@cybre.space

Hi, I'm Levi.

Professionally, I'm a developer for a popular game engine. (See @Tak )

Unprofessionally, I erratically contribute to pieces of free software (including #Mastodon and #Tusky), read novels, play video games, and try to productively stimulate/encourage my one-year-old son.

Hospitalization and intensive care case rates have leveled off and even begun dropping, so the government has announced that they're planning to begin reopening preschools and primary schools starting April 15.

Obviously, we'll begin to get some more cases after that, but the important thing is that the healthcare system will be able to handle it.

The thing that I find phenomenally refreshing is that there is absolutely. no. inventory.

I don't have to scour every environment for pickups, loot every enemy, manage my carry weight, organize my inventory, grind for better equipment, ad nauseam - I can just play the game.

The combat is fast and realtime, but not too challenging so far, and seems mainly to be a motivation for building out the various characters' skill trees.

I'm finding Masquerada: Songs and Shadows to be massively underrated so far.

It's billed as a tactical rpg, but it plays almost like a visual novel with occasional combat. The plot is very linear so far - I'm several chapters into the first act - but also very engaging.

The setting is original pseudoitalian fantasy, where there are mystical masks that grant elemental abilities.

I can't tell if it's wonderful or terrible that I spend most of my time in Half-Life: Alyx physically rooting through garbage, looking for anything of value

I knew things were going to go downhill for me after this. And then they did.

They've really done a phenomenal job of framing striking scenes without being able to control the player's movement or perspective

Today I entered "The Quarantine Zone", and right now it feels a little on the nose…
