#midnightsuns is really good. It basically deleted my weekend.

If you find your way around the utterly annoying sound bugs, but other than that, it’s stellar. In fact, it’s the kind of game I was craving since the days of Freedom Force, another superhero classic that was relatively similar (and I loved it too).

So, if you missed me — blame the cool Marvel game.

Hallo! I’m trying to get a bit more social interaction in my life, so here I am writing an #introduction post on #Mastodon. :moogle_peek:

I’m Jaden (though I go by different names in different circles :bulbasaur_confused:​). I have a silly potato (@nuz) and a silly sausage (#sillyDoggy). I’m fairly socially awkward, a bit #autistic and very #ADHD. :ms_neurodiversity:​​ Sometimes I say very little and sometimes I say a whole heck of a lot, depending on the topic. I’ll probably be posting random facts or videos that I find particularly cool/amusing~ :cat_wow:

I love science (and have a PhD in #physics, but was it really worth it? :frog_think:​) and maker videos that try to bring comic books and fiction to life (shoutout to #Hacksmith and #JLazerVideos, amazing folks)! I also really love technology (in particular, I really like #LTT / #LinusTechTips, although I know he can be a bit problematic :shiba_hide:​).

I'm also an avid video gamer! :gaming_love:​​ I play a lot of #RPG, #Survival, and #Automation games. Some of the ones that I've really enjoyed and/or played recently are:

:robot_headpats:​​ #Satisfactory (love Coffee Stain​ Studios!) / #DysonSphereProgram / #Factorio
:ms_eastern_dragon:#Nioh2 / #EldenRing / #WoLongFallenDynasty
:ms_scene_milky_way:#JediFallenOrder / #JediSurvivor (if only it wasn't so laggy :dva_rage:​)
:ms_scene_sunrise:#HorizonZeroDawn / #HorizonForbiddenWest / #BotW / #TotK
:ms_globe:​​ #MassEffect / #ScarletNexus / #TalesOfArise / #GodOfWar
:ms_crossed_flags:#Overwatch / #Overwatch2 / #StarWarsTheOldRepublic / #SWTOR
:ms_dice_12:​​​ #DivinityOriginalSin2 / #MidnightSuns / #BaldursGate

Feel free to say hello, boost, follow, or any combo of the above! I'd love to make new friends on here, but I feel awkward a lot, so I might just end up favoriting your posts if I can't figure out what to say :panda_derp: (but I appreciate you nonetheless! :blob_heart:​)

Before I go and smash my head on the pillow...

Anyone ever experienced an issue with their mouse fingers intermittently & uncontrollably spasming (resulting in unintentional mouse-clicks?)

First noticed it a couple of weeks ago when I deleted an access point from a MikroTik CAPsMAN while I was hovering the mouse pointer over (what turned out to be) the delete button looking for a mouseOver event.

Over the past few days it's become *much* more noticeable as I've been playing a LOT of #MidnightSuns, which uses ESC to skip cut-scenes, and it's bound by default to the right mouse button.

My middle finger spasms just long enough to activate the skip, which is why I picked up on it. I *think* other fingers are spasming too on both hands; just doesn't seem to happen when I'm paying attention, which makes the misclicks that much more noticeable.

Jan 4, 2023 - Day 4 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 6

Game: Marvel's Midnight Suns

Platform: Steam PC
Release Date: Dec 2, 2022
Library Date: Jan 3, 2022
Unplayed: 0 days (see below)

I use gg.deals to keep track of all the games I want, for when they go on special at historical lows. Yesterday I woke up to an alert for Midnight Suns. It's currently 41% off on Green Man Gaming, and 33% off on Steam.

Yesterday afternoon, I decided to jump on it, and loaded it into my cart, and at the last minute, I balked. Literally sitting there with my finger over the mouse and the mouse pointer on the purchase button.

FOMO vs NOMO. Somehow FOMO won. I didn't click the button. I'm certain. Almost certain. In any case, I found myself staring at the "Purchases" screen.

[shrug] Now I own Midnight Suns. Started downloading it immediately, and got stuck in.

The reason this says "Unplayed: 0 days." is that I started playing just before 10pm, and finally realised I had to log out and get some sleep after midnight, or I'd be playing until ridiculous o'clock.

I'm not sure quite how to describe it. A tactics-RPG-roguelike? With an undercurrent of snarky MCU-style humour.

Anyway, I love it. I'll love it more when they patch some optimisations in for the occasional stuttering, but Marvel's Midnight Suns still gets my first "Excellent" for 2023.

5: Excellent
