Getting back into DMC5 after watching the anime. Still fucking amazing.

I usually drift between a couple of games and end the day by playing a souls game on gaming day so its: robocop batman origins Yakuza the man who changed his name Elden ring shadow of the erd tree

the anniversary event in eso started yesterday so I’ll be camping by a boss + dolmen area to farm some drops, it’s the only time I can get transmute crystals because I generally don’t run dungeons or do pvp, also hope to trade the drops in for heavy companion armor for one of the new companions who I want to try as a tank, the vigorous trait (health increase) companion heavy armor pieces are always expensive

Helldivers 2

I have downloaded Balatro on my phone. I feel historians of my life will consider this move to have been a mistake.

absolutely nothing to play this week, so hitting some oldies

• Hollowknight
• MH World
• Rise of the Ronin (but its crashing all the time and buggy as hell on pc, so on hold mostly)
• Robocop rogue city (lost motivation to play it recently, probably near the end tho)
• Oxygen Not Included ( bought base game on sale after pirating it a while back. Using creamapi for the dlc tho)

Awful open source phone games (not that open source is necessarily bad; I’ve just had shit luck).

I am looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 and was so jazzed that the trailer showed no significant changes to gameplay.

Just finishing up FF6 pixel remaster. Great game, but I’m glad it’s almost over. FF 7 is calling me.

I think I’m burnt out on / done with Balatro. I came to it late (maybe two months ago when it got added to games pass) and it’s… a little compulsive, good, but I don’t really get the narrative of addictive genius.

I’ve been playing a bit of Football Manager 2024 and it’s a fantastic reminder of both what you can build out of an old game that was basically an excel spreadsheet and also how little I know about modern football after 10-20 years of watching mostly to exclusively non-league.

I’ve found myself going back to State of Decay 2 whenever I can’t sleep. At some point, if anyone is even remotely interested, I might have to try and explain my repeating return to this slightly janky, rather outdated, zombie (ugh, genre) game. But for now it’s just a very satisfying, familiar game that’s perfect for playing with audiobooks and longer podcast series.

My bestie finally got me to play Pathologic 2 while she watched and she is having WAY too much fun watching me in ACTUAL PAIN playing this game… It’s really fucking good though, like Jesus fuck, why is this game not more popular than it is…

Spent too much time this weekend in the Fire Emblem hack embrace of the fog. It’s a rougelite with >200 unlockable units.

Initially I was kinda put off cause it does the hades style thing where you throw yourself at essentially unwinnable runs at first and then you unlock stuff to make it easier and I think that’s a little lame, but the insane variety in how the units work makes me want to keep sending another run to try out the units I just unlocked.

I had a unit in a run last night that was essentially meepo from dota. Didn’t quite wrap my head around how to make them useable before they died though.

I upgraded my graphics card a couple of weeks ago so I stole FF7: Rebirth now I can run it. The combat is generally really fun but the game seems loathe to let you have too much, with long sections of pressing forward to enter the next cutscene. Also, there are too many minigames and the PC controls for all of them are pretty terrible. On the other hand, when you do finally get to a decent fight they’ve tended towards being great. Roche is an absolute vibe.

Finally talked 3 friends into playing Reforger, so I’m looking forward into going around as a 6-man group doing stuff. Probably unsuccessfully but still. Valheim as well, with the same people. By myself, Ready or Not and got back to Rimworld after about a 4 month break.

Pentiment. I had a bit of a slump but now im in act2 and im super hooked.
