rynlingI got back into Elden Ring this week. It would be nice to write an "Adventures of Peaches" series of posts, but I'm not really sure what Peaches is doing. Mainly he's been picking fruit and flowers to craft into raisins to feed to his horse(?) as he explores The Lands Between instead of making progress on Stormveil Castle.
I also got myself back on Patreon in order to listen to the Elden Ring episodes of Bonfireside Chat, a podcast about From Software games. It's intensely detailed and specific, and each episode is more than ninety minutes long, so it probably isn't accessible to anyone who isn't familiar with the games. That being said, the production quality is extremely high, and the two hosts have good chemistry. They remind me of Bert and Ernie from the American version of Sesame Street in how kind and polite and supportive they are to one another. I mean, if Bert and Ernie were hetero and also highly invested in unpacking video game lore.
One of the many reasons I've been depressed for the past two weeks is that I'm frustrated that The Demon King doesn't have as rich of a world or a story as Elden Ring. I guess it's good to remind myself that I am not a studio, and I do not have a staff. Like Peaches, I am just one person doing my best.
