Today’s game is some more Ghost of Tsushima. I finally got my controller issues resolved! Turns out all I had to do was set the Steam Input to “Default” in the game config. For some reason it seemed to default to disabled there. Now it works perfectly with my trusty PS3 controller.
I wanted to talk about little details in this game. Like how when I was riding through a field Jin leaned down to touch the grass. Really small but cool detail I liked. It also helped to make him feel a little more human because if I was in that situation I’d totally do the same thing and try to grab it.
I also wanted to briefly talk about the photo mode. I’ve been getting into photography recently with a DLSR I bought used, and I have to say this has my second favorite photo mode I think, right after Alan Wake 2.
It does make me wish though for a photo mode with a fake DLSR. I know it’s really niche to want but I’d love to toy with it a little.
To end off the night I wandered off in search of a hat. I didn’t find one, but I found this lovely hot waterfall area with a Haiku. With all Jin had been through in his time frame I thought he deserved a nice break so I sat him there and let him do a Haiku before chilling there until tomorrow. Where I think I might pick it up again now that my controller isn’t giving me issues.
It makes me happy to see me inspiring others to pick things up. It’s something i always hope to do when I post these.
I know things are rough right now for a lot of people, both socially or even just mentally, but even just giving people suggestions of things to try that may be within their options (like older games they may not have known exist) is something I’d like to do (though I bet it’s probably a bit weird to hear me say because I play a bunch of newer-ish games).
I’m not really sure what the point is I’m trying to make, but im happy too motivate people to try new things.
You are right about my friends too. I probably don’t give them nearly enough credit but they’re a large reason I’ve managed to keep from getting into a slump myself. Even just waking up in the morning and seeing someone say “Hey, you guys free for Halo?” or saying “anyone want to hop onto Zomboid tonight?” really brightens my day and helps me feel a little less alone or burnt out. I doubt any of them will see this (and I’m going to go tell them I appreciate them after this) but they’re definitely an unspoken motivator for me
