End of Month Report: October
Castlevania Dominus Collection 
Got the bad ending for Portrait of Ruin, then promptly distracted by more Silksong.
Hollow Knight: Silksong 
Oops, got a little obsessed with this one. Decided to do low% runs. Honestly, if you have a bit of patience, only one boss really makes you miss the dash, and not having nail upgrades doesn't hurt too much in boss fights. Enemy gauntlets on the other hand… surprisingly, the Hunter's March revisit is the worst fight in the game by far. On the welcome side: almost all of the "Hornet-sized" boss fights were even more of a treat than usual. Parries were important for blocking some attacks you'd normally dash away from, and unlike in the original Hollow Knight, they actually feel viable. Throwing out an attack any time you feel like you might get hit is a pretty strong option, actually. I like Hornet's default moveset a lot more now and can't wait to see what Team Cherry has planned for DLC.

A few updates ago, I mentioned decluttering, both of my physical space and Steam library, throwing one thing away and deleting one unplayed free game from the library every day. After 100 days, I’ve hit a point of satisfaction where I don’t feel a need to keep it up anymore. I could keep going, I guess? But I’d be throwing things away that could sell for money and deleting games that actually seem interesting. Curiously, both of these walls seemed to hit me at around the same time. As in life, so in digital, it seems.
The backlog work gets harder from here, but I plan to keep going.
Congratz for your 153h completion, that’s a lot of dedication !
Congratulations on your assassinations!! ᓚᘏᗢ
I am visibly not even looking at your Silksong review and I’ve been dodging any mention of it for my playthrough but I’m so thrilled you have 156 hours into it and working on your backlog, even if it’s just deleting games that don’t interest you anymore!
