I slept in the bedroom the first 2 ½ or 3 weeks, but the exhaustion caught up to the missus and I to where we were getting frustrated with the baby, who can't help being a baby; so I started sleeping on the couch this week so that I can get some mostly unbroken sleep for the first part of the night, then I can wake up and be with baby so my wife can get some solid chunks of sleep. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I have to return to work next week. Might do more or less the same, just get ready for work early and spend time with the baby. Lack of sleep's just part of the whole parenting thing so I'd better get used to it.

If I get a good pic of us, I might share it. My phone is chock-full of pics of this little cutie.

The best part of letting her sleep in my arms at night/early morning is getting to marathon cartoons and not feel bad about it, and it also keeps my busy mind at bay because I can't get up and do the myriad other things I have on my mind, so maybe I'll stand a chance of finishing DB Super in a decent time frame instead of spreading it out for years/decades like I did DB and DBZ. :p

The recent flood of collaborations means nothing as far as a new castlevania. I can't believe some people here actually think a new castlevania is coming. If a new one didn't happen when Smash and Netflix show were at their peak then its not happening.
Even if we did get one it would suck ass like Lords of Shadow 2 and Grimoire of Souls. We haven't had a good castlevania since 2008.

My advice is move on and support indie devs. The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest looks phenomenal. Look up Programancers recent tweets. It's looking great. And unlike other castlevania projects this one actually has a great chance of actually coming out. Already has a publisher and everything.

Also Curse of the Moon 2 is so far the best classicvania ever made so far. Single mode is so much fun. And single mode + legend hunter is the most fun ive had with any game EVER.

Seal of the Eclipse could also be cool. But that project is obviously is development hell even if the developers wont admit it.

Congrats, Freak!  That's awesome.  Is she on formula or breastfeeding?  Formula tends to help kiddos sleep through the night, because it fills them up longer than breastmilk.  And as hard as it is, getting up with your wife in the middle of the night is a great way to earn brownie points.  She'll appreciate not having to suffer through that alone. 

Do you feel comfortable sharing a photo of you and your little girl?

I feel like more exposure for the series can't be a bad thing, especially since it's been ages since we had a proper new installment.  I picked up Dead Cells just because of the CV content.  It was...alright.  I found it somewhat entertaining, but not enough for me to play it much.  It's not that Dead Cells was bad; it's that in 2024, there's just so much better stuff that I'd rather play.

The V Rising screenshots look kinda nice, but again, there's just too many games that are a higher priority for me.

In English the curse is a pre-requisite, and in Japanese it seems more like a test. Death is just making sure Hector's quality as a vessel is good to not waste Dracula on him.

“When I curse your mouth, I wanna taste it/ Turn you upside down, don’t wanna waste it…”
- Death to Hector, probably (Curse of Darkness; Japanese version)
