I have not heard it since the last post I made. The trombone player is back! Makes any task outside delightful. Took the trash out in a tedious cave level this time. (https://on.soundcloud.com/xQwd1qx9jEOj1QQ79S) I want Binary Sunset when the sun is setting on a good lawn mow.

All mobile devices are back to iOS 18.5 with fresh setups. (Also mirrored settings for consistency 🤓)

I know it is beta, though just couldn’t do the questionable battery life day to day.

Finished Crypt Custodian late last week. Over all it was a really fun game. I was never was bored during game play. Though it was never challenging over all. Most bosses can be beat after a couple attempts without issue. Quiet a bit to explore though ending is a little disappointing.
It was fun. I played with it. Though beta life is to nerve wracking for me. I just need it to work reliably. (Been doing beta since iOS 2. Please save the “don’t use it on your daily” reply. ❤️)
One of the best shows I have seen recently. Great mix of dark comedy and drama. I enjoy Coops internal monologue aspects as well when he gives details. Season 2 is going to get very interesting.
F…
After Season 1’s heartfelt episodes and action Season 2 comes short. This season for myself was a big disappointment. After “the event” it stops progress the rest of the five hours of television. We will see how they close this out.

To beta or not to beta?

I have more cons than pros. Though old habits die hard…

Oh man. Just realized I have a back log of reviews to share. A few things wrapped up fast on me.
I should mention that we’re running a promotion at Pika right now. In celebration of our new background image feature, we’re offering 15% off the first year of Pika Pro with the code PIKACITIES (expires June 13). I mean, look at this good stuff!
Tiled Image Backgrounds and Why Blogging Rocks - Cartography

My first blog was about dirt biking, so there is a throughline here. Good Enough, creators of the blogging platform Pika, which you’re reading this on right now, have added an incredible “new” feature to their platform: tiled image backgrounds. If you’re old enough to remember the nascent aesthetics of the early web, Geocities and its kin, then you may look upon these tiled backgrounds in a bit of horror. But, if you’re anything like me, you may also look at them with some nostalgic relief, since they represent a time on the internet when no one really knew...

I really enjoyed this new to me take on Metroid. I would be interested in playing the other three plus Prime 4 coming soon to see what quality of life improvements are made. Sometimes the game really slowed down in areas like with the IR vision that dulled the fun where you felt over ran all the time. Areas seemed to be replayed and backed tracked again a little too much as well. Finished 94% because I missed a few boss scans and not worth it to track down simple missle upgrades.
@Brian The only Metroid Prime game I’ve played was 3 (“Corruption”) on the Wii. I enjoyed it. I should probably pick up this remaster at some point, and I’m sure I’ll end up grabbing 4 when it comes out.
