Crim continues to make the rest of us look bad.
Keep it up, sir!
Glad you have enjoyed Guacamelee izzy. I don't recall getting too stuck on a boss - it has been a minute tho. The only thing I really recall was a very difficult platforming section, and I want to say it was for one of the optional doo-dads you could choose to collect. After trying for a while, I chose not to.
Speaking of annoying platforming, I played some more Lies of P last night. I was in a section where you had to cross narrow beams in the rafters while creatures hurled stuff at you. There's not much in the way of long-range combat in the game, so the best option was to run straight across the beams in-between throws and try to jump onto the platform where the enemy was. Keep in mind, jumping is NOT a major aspect of this game - up until this point, I honestly didn't know you COULD jump. My wife told me you could, they apparently tell you about it in the very beginning of the game and I hadn't paid it any attention. The button to jump is clicking in the left stick. Yeah. So needless to say, that's a horrible control scheme. Combine that with a not-ideal camera and trying to keep my balance while running across a very narrow beam and you have the makings for a scenario that ALMOST made me call it & move on. Instead I temporarily swapped the jump & activate buttons to move jump to the A button (X for you Playstation fellas) and then after a few more tries finally made it past that section.
The game is still good, but playing it just after I was playing Elden Ring again did NOT do it any favors. From Software it is not.
I'm hearing really good things about Dragon's Dogma 2, so that may take it's place tomorrow.
Oh, and I'm still playing Unicorn Overlord and I'm hopelessly addicted to it. It's hard to believe this is the first strategy game VanillaWare has made, because it is near flawless. So complex yet so accessible, a feat that's very hard to manage. I have close to 30 hours in it now and I'm thinking about it when I'm not playing.

if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
I couldn’t even handle one. My brother and his wife have one which is almost two now, and he completely consumes their life.!
