Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

I'm playing through Black Mesa lately!
Picked it up on the recent discount and now I'm going through it, gonna do all of HL2 next, time to check out the 20th anniversary update.

Also Lumines Remastered just went on sale so you bet I'm gonna be playing the hell out of that

Juggling a lot at once right now.

  • Been working on platinums/100% for every single RGG game since Feb last year. Currently on Yakuza 2 (HD PS3 port since it actually has trophies but is entirely in Japanese lmao) and Kurohyou 1. Kurohyou 2 and Kenzan are the last games left after these.

  • Deltarune Ch 3 and 4 are gonna eat up a LOT of time this week and next

  • Sunk 20 hours into Nightreign, still haven't beaten the first big boss because matchmaking is a nightmare. Might revisit this when some friends actually want to run it for once idk. Fun game but one bad teammate can fuck the whole run.

Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.

Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.

Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…

I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.

Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.

Working my way through act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3. I feel like I've done just about everything in the Temple of Shar except the

spoilerfight against Balthazar.
I tried it a couple times but got whooped a little too easily. Shadowheart is a beast though. She's usually the last one alive when I try it. She can take out all the mobs by herself. It's gonna take the whole squad to win the fight. I need to get my party up a level or two. Me being a defenseless bard is pretty tough. In all my attempts I've been sniped turn one with little recourse to get revived.

Then on top of that I've put time in AI Wars 2 and fighting games. AI Wars 2 is so cool. Complete information overload and a wonky UI but it's got the addicting qualities I like in video games.

Tekken has been calling me as like a stress reliever. Then the Marvel announcement yesterday made me fire up Strive and SF6. I might put real effort into Strive this time. I've always wanted to but it's never quite clicked like SF, and Tekken. And yes I installed DBFZ out of sheer joy yesterday. That rollback better be good.

I'm playing Oblivion Remaster. I never played it before, so I don't have any nostalgia for it. But, its the first Bethesda game I've tried that has actually grabbed me. It's just super charming and immersive to me. All I have left for my current character is the main quest and the Shivering Isles. I didn't do all the guilds or explore everything - I'm saving some stuff to do on my next character that I'm already planning.

Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I've missed a lot of new content and I don't even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don't have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I've learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.

I actually try to play less, phone less and focus more on drawing, journaling and touching grass

But I finished expedition 33 recently and before that I played some crusader kings 3 lotr mod

E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

I could not sleep at the last day after I went through the ending at all because I was tortured by crying fits

Now I remember that hugging moment even now I get sad immediately and it all just leaks out of my eyes so yeah. I am resting

Bro. You can't do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.

OP: WITNESS ME!

I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

I'm finding it hard to stick to one game in particular these past few days (weeks?).
I've been going back to my play through of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I find the story is getting somewhat less interesting after reaching the second to last act/location (and fights are less challenging now, which isn't as fun imo).
I've also been playing a bit of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and it's more appealing than I anticipated - I'm just annoyed by recurring shader comp and loading stutters on PC...
I'm kind of in the mood for a shorter game, but my backlog is far too dense to pick anything easily.

I'm playing Death Stranding. I've been waiting some years and I'm finally giving it a go.

It have many similarities with MGSV which is good. It feels like a well made game.

I just finished Dark Souls 1/2/3 100%, so as a pallet cleanser, I'm back to metroidvanias with Dust.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Hey! Quit stealing my ideas!

Just kidding. Looking forward to see where this goes.

(Not sure if you actually stole it but I’ve been doing it in [email protected] for a while now)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Ope sorry! Didn't mean to step on any toes, just hadn't seen one pop up since I left Reddit!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I’m just teasing. I thought it was funny it’s on the same day I do for my community, also a gaming community. I’m curious if it’ll affect my numbers (up or down). Keep it up!

Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)

Elden ring nightreign. I've beaten 3 nightlords with randoms.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I've played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you're into that sort of thing.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

In between playing Infamous: Second Son and Super Mario 64...just playing SM64 for giggles.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Halls of Torment is nice

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It's a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.

I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it's so charming. Great turn based combat too.

Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.

Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I'll be damned if this game doesn't make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )

Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it's just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking "hey, this reads familiar" ). It's still terrifying, but absolutely great game.

Now I'm playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.

Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.

So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.

I'm in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.

Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.
