Darkest Dungeon II is celebrating its second year anniversary with tons of merchandise (thinking of getting a Mountain shirt myself) and they dropped this infographic to celebrate it.
I purposely blew it up as much as I could because small text and all but it is really cool to see how far the game has come. On a personal note, I started playing Darkest Dungeon II just before it's first anniversary and it is now my second most played Steam game of all time beating, ironically, the original Darkest Dungeon. I am currently in my break from it but when I get invested I get invested in it and it is nice to see they still have more future plans for it so I have a reason to come back.
First is the third Kingdom module which will be Crimson Court themed and well that might be fun but also remembering how much the Crimson Court kicked everyone's butt in the original it might also be a real challenge. Also the upcoming Hero reworks are still planned and I hope we get some improvements for people like Runaway (a different flame build perhaps so she doesn't get completely negate in the fire zones), Duelist (just make her not as squishy is all I ask) and Leper (a way to move to the front faster or even let him move 2 spaces forward instead of the measly one) and for aesthetics, we are also finally getting the Hero origin skins which will be awesome. Nun Vestal and healthy Leper come to mind for sure.
Their celebration post also asked what is the biggest highlight for us, the players in this second year and I have to say it really is the return of the Abomination. 'A-bomb' as I affectionately call him is a great addition, real fun to use and I enjoy how they created a real back-story for him and with his transformation, you technically get 2 characters in one.
All of this, is stuff to remain excited about and since this blog has always focused on Darkest Dungeon (1 and 2) I feel we should get in on the celebration too.

So with the Celebration out of the way, lets chat about the Changes coming to this blog. It is nothing big, I still aim to blog at least twice a month going forward even if its not a RANT or a RAVE. You regular readers might be getting more PIT STOPs (like this one) and just general blogs about whatever crosses my mind. Regular readers might also notice I have been slowly updating the side bar of this blog a lot as well. Of course we are keeping the UPDATES, which I basically call my twitter without having to actually use twitter (still not calling it X) however we have added to recent additions I want to draw attention too.
First is R/R Quickies. This one is simple, R/R is of course an abbreviation of Rants & Raves and this lets me review things quick, sometimes even with a score. This will be update periodically so keep your eye on it. Quickies will also review things I enjoy but I do not have the time or energy to write a full blog about it so TV shows, movies and smaller games will get their shine there. I aim to refresh it at the end of each month. Quickies will also probably be accompanied by a UPDATE as well so I can give my 2 cents instead of just scoring it.
The second thing is also a minor update to the side-bar where we will now be including the books I am reading as well and books will be signified with a * before it. For example right now I am finally reading Imajica by Clive Barker. This book has a story behind it but we will discuss that when the time comes but yes, books are now included on my 'Currently Reading/ Playing' side-bar.
On that note, I am still playing both Grime and Steamworld Quest and enjoying both of them (early prediction; I think one is definitely going to be a RAVE and the other might be a Rave tho things can change and it can be updated to a all CAPS Rave).
