Today’s game is some more of The Last of Us Part 2. I took a bit away from gaming today, because i’ve finally reached the point i’m writing my own Bash scripts for this. The Last of Us Part 2 outputs in too large of a size. I originally was just uploading them to Pixelfed one by one. I also had to rewrite the script a bit too because originally it was going to output too JPEG XL. Turns out though, nothing supports it. So i went with regular JPEG instead.
This diner in particular scared the fuck out of me because i went to sneak up to the window to get in and as i went to break it a Clicker lunged into view and saw me. I legit had to scramble Ellie back both in shock and in order to keep her alive. I feel like this game is a lot more prevalent with the jumpscares, because i didn’t ever really feel scared by it. Unsettled? Yeah. But there wasn’t any notable moments that made me jump out of my seat. Meanwhile this game has quite a few more jumpscares.
I went into this apartment building too while looting it and saw these plants still growing. I kind of wonder if they could realistically grow like that? Nearby these plants was a workbench too, which when i interacted with it, i got jumped by a group of 5 people. It was surprising and scared me yet again. I honestly had trouble taking them out though and had to scramble for my Shotgun.
After dispatching them i came to this dumpster which is the best damn dumpster i’ve seen in gaming yet. Like, damn, Naughty Dog knows how to make a damn good dumpster. Anyways, i stopped here due to some plans for the evening with friends. I half picked The Last of Us though to test my script. I’m really proud of it, even if version 1 was defeated by nothing supporting JPEG XL.

The tomatoes growing in that apartment is great level design. I had the same reaction of "how could these plants survive without people?" and then you get jumped and it's like "oh, should have known." The apartment also has a door you can't open that's opened after you get jumped which explains where the people came from. I remember appreciating the details (after struggling to not die).
