I made another video! This time I'm talking about unfortunately bad #gamedesign in Soldak's Drox Operative 2.

This is growing out of control.
That's part 5 of the video I'm working on; looks like I've got a crash course on transitions on my hands.

Now that I'm done streaming Doom (for now, at least), I'm looking for something new...
Good thing @PatchQuest is out in early access — time to give it a go and see what's different the Discord version!

Also, for a change, I'm going to stream on Youtube: https://t.co/fXGQV8nwtm

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

Well, that took me a while.

Wooh! I actually got to play some #DND over the weekend! As a player! It was an almost improvised, level 1 affair without much story or NPCs, but we got character ties going quickly.
Then we found hooks for a more global plot in the end.
Then I died.
Good job new DM!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

This is a good game. I highly recommend it.

[Patch Quest | ✨OUT NOW!✨ @PatchQuest]

My monster-riding roguevania game Patch Quest has finally launched on Steam! 😱

This is my first ever videogame launch, 6 years in the making. So it's both exciting and a bit terrifying!

@PatchQuest Hey, I use borderless because it's convenient. The fact that my rig is potato-tier has nothing to do with it!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

To figure out what was wrong with my microphone and/or recording setup, I read a bit of Eye of Argon.
If you have a few minutes and don't mind helping, please come along and let me know which take sounds best.

From the Depths has been sitting in my Steam account for something like 5 years, and now it's finally time to give it a go.
It's definitely not a game you just walk into, and it's going to take me days/weeks to get to a point where even know what I'm doing or should be doing.

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

Oh, by the way: I've just replayed the original #Doom. I definitely don't remember it being so compact, especially compared to either Final Doom wad. Plus, it turns out I haven't beaten Thy Flesh Consumed. Fun stuff!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

I'm going back to #Streaming #Doom Plutonia today. About a third of the way in is where I expect it to start getting really difficult.
See you in a couple of hours, around 1700 UTC, at https://t.co/FUUWWmaou2!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

Today I finally finished #Doom 2 on Ultraviolence, fast.
Pretty intense, though not Final Doom intense. Still, hitscanners make Swiss cheese out of me pretty reliably.

I guess I'll replay Heretic after I'm done with Plutonia.

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

So, I've finally finished my first Youtube video. In it, I try my hand at fixing one of the worst maps in #DOOM, and explain some of the design that went into it.

#RETROGAMING

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

Well, this is finally happening. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly, and I'll publish my first real Youtube tonight!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

I was making a final edit, and this awesome freeze frame came up. Smile for the camera!

#DOOM

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

#streaming #Doom in a few hours! Specifically, Plutonia, at last!

See you around 1700 UTC at https://t.co/PxOgqNLiwN!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

Neverwinter got really boring really fast. Compared to its contemporaries (GW2, ESO), I barely get to experiment, explore, or make any choices. Everything seems too small and fast, no impact or weight to its combat, no gear choices...
I don't get it.

#MMORPG

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

It's about time I went back to Plutonia, now that I better understand how this all works. The question is: Gzdoom or Crispy Doom?
Gz looks nicer and runs natively in widescreen, but Crispy is a fair bit closer to the original.

#TIL you can hold space to drag in GIMP. And a lot of other software, apparently. How could this convention have passed by me, I may never know, but it's so handy!

[Leon Grichmann @LeonGrichmann]

I guess you could call this principal photography and rough cut. All done now! The remainder shouldn't take long!
