This expansion is incredible, with a lot of great and difficult content. I didn't die at all during the main game or the Echoes of the Fallen DLC, but I did game over around five times during this one. The story is really unique, the boss battles are awesome, and it is overall just more of the same amazing game. I was astonished to see that, after completing the main quest, there were still side quests after it that even somewhat connected to the Echoes of the Fallen DLC. I would heavily recommend this, as it contains about 6-7 hours of content that is all really great.

I don't care much for the Leviathan Eikonic abilities, but part of that is because I got a really good flow going down with what was already in the base game and I didn't really care to learn more stuff. It seems interesting enough but I've never been a huge fan of water magic in general. That's completely subjective though so I'm not really going to factor that into my overall impression.

Beat FFXVI The Rising Tide. There are some side quests I have to do that popped up after beating it so I need to do those, but then a review will be on its way shortly.

Everyone is shaming me for wanting a switch 2 man just let me play my fucking baby games in peace

if you know you know

FINALLY Star Fox 64 3D has been fixed in emulation with the Azahar emulator! You can now play the game without some of the levels flipping upside down.

i was relatively impressed with the recent witcher 4 unreal engine showcase. there was some good tech on display there, i like the voxel-based LOD approach a lot. there was no discernible stuttering and it appears they are pushing for the game to run at 60fps on console which is admirable. i couldn't see any frame skips but i don't have a great eye for that so it's possible there were still some.

what i DID notice is that there is still some noticeable ghosting at times with quick character movement, like this shot here. you can see it on the sword. this is different from the motion blur present in the rest of the image. ghosting is one of those things that is extremely noticeable to me and breaks immersion. hopefully there is some way to get rid of this, like disabling TAA or something for instance.
