You’re doing Death March?? WHY???I just beat the main storyline last night for the second time, but I’ve only ever played on Sword and Story, aka “normal” mode. It’s hard enough, I can’t imagine playing it on Death March.I played on PS4 the first time then switched to the PC version so my wife could have the PS4 during quarantine. I have to say that the PC is better simply because my laptop can process things faster, so if you die it doesn’t take so long for you to reload and also fast travel is actually fast.You’ve got Velen ahead of you, which can be a slog. There’s also some shitty decisions you have to make in gameplay that really have no “good” answer so don’t feel bad if you get an outcome that’ll give you nightmares! That’s just the game.If you want pointers at any time let me know.

Oh ha ha, *I* am not playing, I’m riding out the quarantine at a friend’s (she’s MM in these narratives) house helping her homeschool her two little kids, and her husband (Dr. F, in these narratives) is playing it for our amusement, and i think to kinda make it worth his while he’s doing it on Death March. He’s kind of an avid gamer but I think he more often plays FPS shoot-em-up games, and is less interested in the story part of all this, but his wife and I want the story, and this is slightly more sociable than putting on a movie and all zoning out every night. Since we can’t go out to bars or see people or have parties, this is our compromise: he’s playing a game we wanted to watch. So, compromises. 

I think I’m going to look up some Velen walkthroughs just because it made sense to just fuck around through White Orchard and let everything happen as it may to learn the game and get used to all of it, but since this is a spectator sport I might preload myself with some suggestions of how it actually goes smoothest. I’m trying to keep it enjoyable for the person actually doing the gaming, y’know? I don’t want to be like “okay monkey dance for me” all the time, but he has in the past appreciated concrete suggestions of like where to find stuff and what order to try things in and general worldbuilding insights and such. Since I’ve never played a single game, he has a much clearer understanding of the mechanics of it all and the big picture than I do-- I can’t even read the map thing, I’m No Good at the mechanics of gaming. So I’m sticking to general Lore Insights and being light on the actual “do this next” advice. 

(For amusement purposes I’ve been writing the recaps as if “we” are playing but really I’m just there for color commentary and to make lewd suggestions from the peanut gallery. And to say the phrase “Superior Beast Oil” and snigger a lot.)

Everyone jokes about how every fic has drowners in it, but I have been killed by drowners more often than ANY OTHER MONSTER.

well, we just discovered our first nekkers, which are the other thing I think I see in fic a lot, and let me tell you those guys fucking suck-- one just ran up out of nowhere without even the fight music as a warning and just basically murdered Geralt while we were on our way to do something specific, like right before the griffin fight. Like, it got in a huge hit, we swung around like “what was that” and there was a second one and it was like BLAMMO and “You Are Dead 💀” that was it. So, like, fuck drowners? but also fuck nekkers.

Why Garbage Plates Will Change Your Life

On my recent trip to Rochester, NY I finally got to try real garbage plates from Henrietta Hots for the first time. Though Nick Tahou’s is the original maker of the garbage plate, I was told Henrietta Hots is the best. (I have yet to try Nick Tahou’s). If you aren’t from upstate New York you may be wondering what the hell a garbage plate is. When let me explain…

It is heaven in a box. Feast…
