Gaming with Data

I talk about gaming. I like games.

The best Stardew Valley valentine I got ever

[thedatawizard]

I did it I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 - I made a half-elf wizard named Data Camoran. Surname is from Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Given name is Data because I'm weird. I spent half an hour figuring out the hair. Onward!

A nice view from Porrima V-C in Starfield.

Starfield photography! Attempting to catch all the landmarks before finally going into NGPlus after about 500 hours in the game. Names are in the alt text.

ConcernedApe casually dropped this in his New Years tweet. Happy New Year to us all in Stardew Valley

[thedatawizard]

If you’re looking for a New Year’s Eve game and want an off-center choice, Bioshock’s Rapture is pretty much frozen in time during a NYE celebration that marked the beginning of the civil war between Andrew Ryan and Atlas.

The power of food to make you go fast in Stardew Valley

[thedatawizard]

Zelda games often ask you to find courage even when the world is destroyed. MM did this repeatedly in a loop on a very dark and existential journey. But it also leveraged that to tell a greater story about hope that still hits hard and well.

Ocarina of Time. One of the greatest of all time simply because it figured out going fast on a horse in 3D spaces is fun. It even went a step further and gave the horse a plot, and her name is Epona.

Happy 30th anniversary Breath of Fire. Thank you for introducing me to RPGs and the joy they bring

[thedatawizard]

Happy MAR10 Day to Super Mario RPG! Paper Mario was great but never reached the same pinnacle of absurdity and joy.

Amy Sedaris needs to be in more Star Wars content

[thedatawizard]

The RE4 soundtrack is on Spotify and it hits the spot so well.

Theatrhythm lore in a nutshell

[thedatawizard]

This Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm ET I’ll be streaming more Octopath Traveler II on Twitch as thedatawizard courtesy of Square Enix. I’ll also talk about FFXVI, my first RE Remake play-through, autism, road trip plans, and whatever else is on our minds.

Resident Evil 4 Remake looks so damn good

[thedatawizard]

By year’s end I hope to beat all the non-MMO final fantasy games.
