Fucked up a flamingo, a rubber duck and a manequin.

Damn, I really gave up yesterday during the final 15 minutes of the main story. I reached Dylan, he's in a coma and I'm the director now. It was all pretty... Abrupt? But hey, I complained about the game not respecting my time but it did wrap things up quickly at the end so who am I to complain? Anyway, I began the Foundation mission but I didn't really follow it. I immediately unlocked the mind control ability, then went to therapy with Dr. Kojima, and then finished up the Altered Items. Those were cool and I'm glad I have to do 3 more.

I'm not sure what's going on. I think Trench turned on the Slide Projector and got corrupted. Do I have an evil twin or something? I had to do office drone work. There's something about a Hedron and Polaris is related? Maybe Dylan made this whole thing to make me "see"? Prof. Darling made a music video called Dynamite. I fought some mold. Ahti gave me a cassette player so I could experience the absolute highlight of this game, the Old Gods of Asgard part. I think I'm on the final mission. I'll still want to do some side quest. For example, the one with Kojima since I went through the trouble of Hex editing it into the game. I also want to see some of the weird Altered Items. It was a 4/5 until the musical part and well, everything towards the end after mission 7. It's a solid 4.5 now.

I've Dylan my long-lost baby brother who I've been searching for over 17 years. But first, I put an end to a traffic light and some pieces of paper wreaking havoc. Dylan is a fucking weirdo but told me where to research further. Specifically, he wants me to find out more about the Prime Candidate program that, it turns out, included me. I'm looking for the slide projector that started it all. I kind of gave up currently. I love Remedy but they continuously refuse to respect my time as the player. Why do I have to go on tangential side shit to progress?

I've got some Black Prism for the Marshall who then told me about Dylan. They kidnapped him after the Ordinary incident and tried to make him the next director. A failed mission it turns out. Dylan is changed, apparently dangerous, but I'll still check on him.

Dylan escaped. I've cleansed an old TV and defeated a homicidal fridge. RIP Philip. I'll have to deal with other Altered Items the same way and also reunite with Dylan.

I played a bit. I've finished Mission 4. Marshall told me to find Darling in Maintenance. I think I have picked up the PS4 quest. We'll see. I still like the gane but fuck it doesn't change how much I hate Metroidvania style level design. This one's no exception. I've lightly modded the game further. Removed the intro videos and tomorrow I'll fix the blurry textures hopefully. I've turned of Global Reflections because it made the reflections "shimmer-y". It feels weird turning down settings to make it look better.

I have told Emma or Emily about Polaris and the projector. She seemed cool about it. I'm at research. Shit's not as fun currently. I have failed two timed missions of no fault of my own then I've abandoned the main quest and just quit. It's one of those days.

Alright, some shit happened. I have the Hotline now. I've got it from a sleazy roadside motel. I can understand what Trench, my predecessor is telling me. Also, I haven't looked up it on IMDb yet, but I'm pretty sure his voice is James McCaffrey. I have gained the evade ability and unlocked the Shatter gun. I talked to Ahti, the Janitor, who introduced me to the bulletin board. I've only done one thing as no new things have been put on. But I have fed the Furnace some radioactive waste. It's probably sentient, by the way. I have fixed the Power Plant too. I've also decided to be open with Emily and tell her about... You? Me? I don't know. The thing. I guess.

Okay, I still haven't made progress, BUT LISTEN! I have unlocked the PS4 exclusive content on my PC version. I mean, I can only verify the Outfits. They are there. I don't know if I unlocked the PS4 quest. I hope so. However, I did unlock an Expedition outfit I wasn't supposed to. I hope that won't cause any issues.
I did play a bit. I have played and watched the first hour of this game so I've just skipped them. I've just unlocked the telekinesis. I've met Tomassi and currently on my way to... somewhere.

I wanted to see how well it runs on my new GPU. I had a bit of a scare but apparently, DX11 is the way to go.
