Played Orbitals, I like it. I haven't played any of the other co-op games of the sane style so no comparison but it was a great way to spend a day.

i want to like graveyard keeper but the weird "haha look how bad communism and revolutions are" storyline for literally no reason really turned me off from the game, unfortunate

Mechwarrior, PC (1989).

I was not expecting a "choose your own text adventure" with my Giant Fighting Robot game.

Mostly touching grass this weekend, believe it or not. I'm learning archery, which I guess still counts as a game, kinda?

Otherwise, Unnamed Space Idle has the Idle Wizard crossover event on so I've been checking in there on the daily or so. That and Wuthering Waves. Gatcha game, but the vibes are cozy and weirdly hopeful.

Friend bought me Wardogs and I am liking it. It's like battlefield but 100 players and three factions and also has a counterstrike style money system where you earn money for all sorts of actions and have to buy your load out, your money persists between games and servers and so far it's pretty fun.

New patches came out this week providing critical improvements to the first Shiren the Wanderer and Torneko's Great Adventure games' translations on the Super Famicom, so I'm poking those. The Aeon Genesis patch for Fūrai no Shiren in particular was a major pain point for me for ages, what with it rendering riceballs as "onigiri" in JUST ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU style, but while some enemies and items (Haboon, otogiri-so) still maintain their Japanese names, the new patch is a huge improvement and fixes a lot of bugs the AG patch had, such as the "arrow fell on the ground" message not displaying, or the pickpocket guys never displaying how much gitan they stole. Very nice.

The Torneko patch uses the script from this month's new official HD re-release so it should be rad, if I can swallow my burning hatred for DraQue.

Castlevania Bloodlines on Genesis. Used the konami code to get 9 continues instead of the 3-5 I think you can get normally.

I am narrowing in on perfection in stardew valley, really the only thing I have left is to befriend a few of the out of the way NPCs (Sandy, Leo, Dwarf) and getting all the qi gems I need. Qi challenges seem like a huge pain so I'm kinda dreading that. And a few odds and ends that won't be that bad.

Played through Graveyard Keeper 2. Had a pretty great time. I loved the original; the game loop felt like crack to me, i couldn't stop. And the writing was actually pretty good. Unfortunately, GK2 writing wasn't as good. Also had hints of AI writing, but can't prove it. The graphics are actually a lot better though, so I liked that. Also, thank god for mods.

recently scored a used ipad, and I'm playing through Invisible Inc again on that. Very cool turn based isometric stealth game

FYI i think I've been the one to sticky all the recent sunday threads so feel free to ping me every week to get to it before i notice the thread on my own.

I've been playing this kinda boring pokemon clone that just came out called Aniimo but my wife and kids are playing it so I'm grinding it out

Alternating between new fire emblem and control resonant. Both are quite good. I have a vacation in a week so I might actually be able to play games then

Gamer Church Confessional: On three different nights now, I have had a dream about the upcoming Deadlock patch. Absolutely devastating to have an update for a video game get into my psyche like this.

I have been replaying the old mega man games to get back into the mood. I am currently on x2. I don't normally replay old games like this. I am boomerfying I guess because I am really enjoying revisiting this one. I spend months trying to beat it as a kid

Finished The Message From Deep Space. Was generally quite good, though some of the answers were so convoluted I'm convinced I never would have gotten them had I not looked them up. Also, weirdly, all the most difficult ones didn't have any tips from the other NPCs. Still, would recommend.

Started a bit of Baba Is You, got to a puzzle I couldn't figure out, and haven't gone back.

A little more DMC5 Vergil, he's so goddamn overpowered it's ridiculous. You can just fly up the style rank by doing one or two judgement cuts. I have never once been able to block an attack, though, which is odd, so my concentration meter's always a little low due to dodging.

New Warframe update is out and it's dookie, entropic eximus are lame, the drop rates for Narin are too low imo, the changes to EDA/ETA to counter Hildryn/Revenant just mean that the weeks where I use her because I didn't have any good options will now be weeks I skip, and Glacial Defense requiring 6-person pre-mades means I will never, ever try it.

darktide update soooooooon im excited

new weapons new map,,,, finally

im about to finish up the message from deep space and its been a really fun lil puzzle game

SpringRO beta started not too long ago. New Ragnarok Online server. There's integration with RetroAchievements where you can get a badge on the site, and some cosmetic rewards in-game for participating in the beta and getting to level 30. Full server launch is soon and will also have achievements sets in-game and on RA for leveling different classes, collecting hats and cards, etc. One of the devs is also a dev for the HorizonXI Final Fantasy 11 server, which is great, so I have high confidence in this one.

There's been a ton of people who have never played RO checking it out from RetroAchievements and it's been really fun to help guide them and see their reactions and questions. I've played the game on and off since launch (got a disc in the mail even), so I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I feel like a real oldhead. The population has been consistently around 100 players at peak time, so I predict a few hundred on launch when their progress won't be wiped.

A bit of Solar 2. One of the first games I ever got on steam back in 2010 or so.

It really holds up, and the OST is an absolute banger

I had a dream about the old steam controller. So I guess Im gonna check it out again and see how it feels in the year of our Lord 2026

Octophobia - just another daily.

my beautiful fiancée and i both finished zero company, it was real fun all the way through
i recommend it to anyone who likes the xcom remakes and star wars
it is a little easy though, so if you want roughly xcom difficulty then i recommend playing on hard

Batoman Showdown has its claws in me... platinum rank today!

Also some modded minecraft (stoneblock 3). Restarted my world a few weeks ago because it had been too long since I played it last and I've made some good progress. Trying to get decent storage online even before I have AE2

I relapsed on Slay the Spire 2 because I saw the girls from Pew Pew Bang playing it (check them out, it's the best gaming podcast/channel). I'm also still playing Dawncaster on my phone and it's a banger.

Another week of osu! I've gotten a few pretty good scores but I'm still building up my skills enough to challenge past me and finally have my rank go up for once. Someday soon, hopefully.
