Never Rest Studio

Life shouldn't give you something this precious, someone you love this much, and then take them away again. But I'd take all the heartbreak again for the time we did have. I hope SO MUCH he's doing OK and finds his way home but I'll keep him with me the only way I can until then.

Aforementioned cats.

Got my 1st tattoo yesterday (will be a while before it looks its best, but already really happy with it). It's for my cats, who I ironically now have to be careful to keep it away from, haha. The lily is for Tiger Lily and the needle is for Boc (after the seamster in Elden Ring).

Having an absolute blast with @AvowedtheGame. A gorgeous world that's fun and rewarding to explore and super satisfying and versatile combat are stand out points for me, but it holds up very well across the board. Running (at almost max) mostly a smooth 60fps on a 2 gen old GPU.

100% programmer, not artist, but had an urge to dig out pens/pencils for the first time in forever as a work break. Used to work really "sketchy", always erasing/redoing, so forced myself to commit to whatever lines went down. Lots to work on, haha, but my first drawing back...

Nyx is a haphazard "act now think later" type, with long term consequence easily forgotten in favour of emotional reaction in the moment. Charging head-first into every combat situation, relying on parrying and her dual blades bleeding her enemies quicker than they can her.

I never post pictures of myself but I've worked so hard the last few months through chronic injury and fatigue problems to go from overweight and scrawny to this, so I'm proud of it. A long way to go, but I'm proud of it.

I've got to say, even having finally beaten him after probably ~12 hours of actual play time, that has to be the boss fight I have least enjoyed EVER. And followed up by such an anticlimactic ending that I had to Google if that was really the ending...

The difference between phase 1 and phase 2 of that DLC Radahn fight... 😩 Too much of phase 2 is AOEs and un-rollable chained attacks that I just can't quite see the tactic for yet. Just the 7 hours or so... so far. 😅

Had so little time lately but followed @MicrobirdGames #DungeonsOfHinterberg for ages and had to get a couple hours in. Vibes are exceptional (art style, adventure for its own sake, soundtrack), and taking on enemies you're encouraged to leave for later is great fun, haha. 😄

How did I get this armour? Well... 😭 Thankfully, the sadness didn't last TOO long, soon replaced by rage. What the actual **** is that phase 2 of the final(?) boss fight?!?!

She may be getting older but she hasn't forgotten how to be really helpful.

Well, that phase 2 was a bit mad, but cheers for the armour, Messmer!
