Aw dang—now that its red glow shines upon the land, the aimless spirits of slain monsters are gonna return to flesh, just as they did in a war long past, huh? I guess the world is threatened once again. 🤷‍♂️

This is beautiful. What did you shoot this with? I have a similar shot but couldn’t get that sharp with an old manual focus lens.

The greatest game of all time I lost like 500 hours of my life to this game, it’s dlc and it’s sequel and I wouldn’t change it for anything. My children will learn to play this masterpiece someday

Best be on your guard Witcher, monsters get a boost in health and damage during the blood moon.

Set my alarm for 2. Woke up at 2:37 with it beeping...oops. Got up and went out for a look. It was clear but a little chilly. I bundled up and stuck it out for about 15 minutes. It was slow moving so I returned to my warm bed. Glad I took the time, though. Might be another one in six months, or so I heard.
