waltzoidI didn't have the time or energy to prepare a "Whatcha Doin'?" post last week because I was burned out after helping my dad build a newer, sturdier gazebo that we shouldn't have to take down and place in the garage every year. It got its first real test today when a rainstorm swept through my town this afternoon. It must have worked, because I didn't see any water leaking onto the table after it was all over.
Anyway, I've been playing Rift of the Necrodancer, a purely rhythm-based spinoff/sequel to the hybrid music/dungeon crawler Crypt of the Necrodancer (which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary). As someone who got into music and rhythm games through FreQuency and Amplitude on PlayStation 2 (and developing a weird love for many forms of electronic music), Rift is my kind of jam.
However, I think I'm going to lay off any of the Impossible-level charts, as my hands already get cramped up from playing and restarting the Hard Mode songs. Even when I was in "peak physical gamer form" in my 20s, high-level songs in Guitar Hero and Rock Band were a bit too demanding for me to finish. Guess I'll never find out what reward I would have received for finishing "Free Bird" on Expert in GH2...
This led me back to the original Crypt, when I'd put off for years because I still can't get past the third floor (but I do like the gimmick of the stage music shifting between techno and hard rock versions depending on whether you're on hot or cold terrain). One of these days, I'll get lucky and find the right weapon to finish it and reach the ending, but tonight is not that night.
I should also put some serious work into playing Cadence of Hyrule, the Nintendo-approved crossover with Crypt and The Legend of Zelda.
