Today’s game is some more Alan Wake II. I was playing with lighting and portraits to practice some stuff we had gone over in my Photography class. I got this one of him illuminated by the projector light I really liked.
There was also this one I grabbed on the stage of Door’s talk show, I got it to contrast with the warmer lighting of the other one. Kind of get a matching pair of that makes sense.
Speaking of Door’s talk show, or more so the area around it, when I exited I saw this sign that said OD Diner. At first I thought it was a reference to Alan’s addiction problems, but if I remember correctly he just had a drinking problem.
Then I realized, “duh. It’s Oh Dear Diner dumb ass.” It makes sense because it’s a dream world, which is random neurons firing off. So obviously it’s his brain (or more so the dark place) reusing his memory of the Oh Dear Diner.
I also got the privilege of discovering my PS5 controller I bought purely for PC gaming is now deciding it wants to drift. In this elevator I got stuck moving to the left. I adjusted dead zones to help a little but honestly it’s just a patch, and not even one that worked well.
Honestly, it’s kind of on me, it’s taken quite a few falls. I’ll have to see about sending it in. If not, then there’s a fancy new steam controller on the horizon that hopefully is within my budget.
Because of said Stick Drift I stopped in the theater. I’m gonna try and adjust the dead zone a little more to make it more tolerable, so we’ll see if I can do that or if I should start looking into my warranty.
Yeah, I’m using FSR to upscale to use Ray Tracing because I like messing with the options, but the default “Medium” without RT option looks really good too (honestly I’d argue there’s not much of a difference between them unless you put them side by side). I highly advise playing it whether you like narratives, pretty graphics, or both.
