Afterimage and Minecraft
May. 8th, 2023 10:26 pmNo brain, only sometimes game.
Even though I got a Steam gift card for my birthday a while ago I haven't actually bought any games in months, both because I've been playing Minecraft almost exclusively and because I already have a huge backlog of unplayed games. But Afterimage, a game I backed on Kickstarter many months ago, finally released two weeks ago and so I checked out.
( Spoilers for the first 20 hours, so about a quarter/third of the game by my rough estimate )
To sum up, I'm enjoying it a lot so far; it's so large that the size is a bit intimidating and the pacing suffers a bit but it's pretty and movement and combat feel good, I look forward to getting back to it.
Before I started playing Afterimage and also sometimes in-between I have also been playing Minecraft.

I also played the April Fool's Voting update, that was such a cool concept. I got unlucky with the first votes: I turned many biomes different colors that I couldn't see, and other not very spectacular effects. Unfortunately I didn't have much time on that day and so I didn't try it out further, and I never even made it to the moon (made out of cheese! With cows! And moon bases!), I only admired it in other people's videos.
DD also persuaded me that I should get my own Minecraft skin instead of using the Alex default, but choices are hard and I have very little idea of what I even want. One day.
DD has been much more adventurous than me in general: she tried out One Block Skyblock for a bit and then started another new world. And recently she subbed in for someone else in the first session of a Last Life SMP: it was stressful and then she was also assigned boogeyman on top of that, but she started out with 5 lives and ended up with 4 lives, some alliances, several iron tools and armor pieces, and a secret base with sugarcane and two cows, so she did great.
