At some point in your levelling-up journey you can ditch the garlic entirely. I can’t remember the last time I picked it, but certainly did a lot in the beginning.

These new weapons are colourful.

Been playing some Line War, which came out a few days ago. Interesting concept and the focus on less APM/more strategy is appealing to my ageing, admittedly rubbish at RTS self. They’ve taken some flak due to a lack of any sort of single player outside of the sandbox mode, but they have given a fairly extensive explanation about this. I’m quite happy to support a small dev team (2 people) trying something different for the price of a couple of fancy coffees.

Always nice to randomly run into a great-sounding, massively obscure band from the past. They released one album in 2007 and then simply disappeared off the face of the earth. They are: Soulbreach:

Also it's been what... a few days since a new Malevolence post so, here:
 

Literally used like 4 revives in the last 40 seconds. Gets absolutely nails after about that 29:20-ish mark. Just managed to dodge/run enough.

Bone Zone is really hard, and I'm still only using Curse Lv1. Managed to get to 29-ish mins a couple of times. Last run was nail-biting as I was using the new doggo and stacked a bunch of healing + AOE, then was basically running in circles until my La Borra would start massively overlapping, then continuing to run in slightly bigger circles to try and get enough hearts/gems for floor chickens to try and get through the next dry period where everything piled on top of me. Health bar was just going like a yo-yo.

It looked something like this:

Very nearly made it too.

I had the Arcana that makes your projectiles either 50% slower or 200% faster, plus one later related to health gain. Just a mad run with that fully levelled Skull O'Maniac...

Also, the new cat weapon is something else.

Went back to the Library to get the new coffin... definitely my highest bodycount so far:

Also, their most In Flames-sounding song yet:

New album in August:

So close…

Wordle 293 2/6

Radax (1)

Yeah, been playing it myself - great stuff so far. I'm curious to see if it becomes as mind-melting as Baba Is You did eventually...

All I wanted from this run was the damn Tiragisú...

This is looking good:

Mega Man Battle Network N1 Battle - Navi Clash! (Battle Theme)

Hetfield's son's band released their debut album (he's the drummer). Sounds pretty good actually:
 

Another one which sort of went the other way - Die Hard Arcade became Dynamite Deka in Japan because Sega didn't hold the video game rights to Die Hard in Japan.

The new level is definitely a tough old nut. Wasn't going to get it until I bought the Amount powerup:
