Palworld. I have a fully leveled dark electric dragon that I ride on and reign terror from the skies. I have to put him back in his ball for me to knock down HP so I can capture some high level pals without nuking them right off.

But then there's this dang 500,000 HP sea serpent that I tried to get through so I could get to the world tree, and I couldn't do hardly any damage to. The scaling on this game is all over the place. But now that I've gotten ancient everything once I get my electric pals leveled up might have a better shot.

There are not many healing items in this game. There's a healing grenade but it doesn't seem to work much. Food slowly regains health. So you're basically desperately trying to avoid / tank screen wipe attacks. Maybe i'm not getting something. But will crack at it again.

Been playing Lies of P. Closest thing to Bloodborne I’ve played, it’s real good

y'all gotta get up on krillion

Just finished Metroid Zero Mission yesterday, yay! Now I've started Aria of Sorrow in preparatior for Belmont's Curse that is launching soon, I played the demo and it was great! Loved the design of the first boss.

I also want to play Metroid 2 now. I'll be playing the AM2R fan remake since it follows the same style as Zero Mission and Fusion, but I do want to check out Samus Returns later since people say it feels like a prototype for Dread.

Witcher 3 Remastered. I beat the Witcher 2 and imported my save file. Picked it back up once the update dropped. I'm excited to learn the new skill tree.

Finished Metal Gear Solid 1 with my friend yesterday, finally. Was really good. Looking forward to starting 2. We played the Japanese release called MGS Integral which has the English voice acting and mostly-English menus. At the end because I use a Pocket Station memory card it triggered the special FOXDIE event where you're supposed to spread your memory card save with 5 other people with Pocket Stations within a week to save a character after the ending and then it also unlocks something in the special VR missions I believe. Was kinda' losing my mind when it happened because I've never heard anyone talk about this feature.

But yeah, MGS1 was really good. Presentation was insanely good for a PS1 game. Good voice acting and stuff, even. Really loved all the codec calls, both in terms of presentation but also how interesting and numerous they were. The game wasn't as technical or stealthy as I was thinking it'd be, so many of the rooms are basically open rectangles with like maybe 4 soldiers that walk very small, repeating patrol patterns. I didn't have to distract or sneak that much. Once you get the stun grenades chucking one of those nullifies almost every room. I guess on harder difficulties and with the NG+ modes and stuff there's more stealth required, probably -- also probably what the VR missions are for too. I only played a couple and they played out more like puzzles though. My only annoyance would be how frequently the game pads out little sections here and there like how long each boss takes to kill and sending you to backtrack 2-3 times, which in afterwards don't feel like a lot of effort but in the moment had me groaning. I think mostly because world traversal just wasn't that interesting. It's a short game so I shouldn't complain about that too much though. The end screen said we beat it in 12 hours.

Played through all the endings for Armored Core 6.

Thinking about taking the momentum to play Nier Automata on the "hard action game with multiple endings" backlog. Or I'll try to get Demon's Souls or Bloodborne running idk

Picked up Sable on sale and I'm digging it so far. Not very far in but I'm loving the art style and it's weirdly cozy for what seems to be a fairly desolate open world.

Been on Timberborn a lot recently. After the initial stress of dealing with badtides it's very satisfying to build little anarcho-beaverist utopias. Not entirely sure on the ethics of letting the beavers die out so the bots can more efficiently terraform the place before cloning the beavers back into fully automated luxury ace anarchism, but I got a few cheevs out of it.

The only game I played the last month or so is the new Fire Emblem. I've gotten burnt out. Couldn't find what to play instead, so I'm reading horror novels until I probably go back. I might get the new Star Wars, go back to Wrath of the Righteous, Diablo II remake, or Resident Evil 7

Jumping between fire emblem and control resonant. Fire emblem is like an infinity game it seems so mostly focusing on control now which is only a 40 hour game or so. Only. Enjoying both alot though.

Booted up Dwarf Fortress again today.

Started a new fallout 4 survival playthrough this time focused primary on settlement building, super excited and into it currently; excepting over 100 hours of this.

Downloaded the 2013 release of sonic 1,2 and CD off itch.io, reliving my childhood as always.

Started playing Signalis a few days ago and I'm hooked. Best silent hill/resident evil game I've played in a while. Seriously though, this is so good.

Finished my DMC5 Vergil run, and fucking hell, the final boss that makes up the last two missions was a brick wall in what was otherwise a cakewalk. For comparison, I S-ranked Urizen first try. Managed to scrape out victories after a good number of attempts, which was satisfying. Messed around a bit more and I just do NOT understand how to get S-ranks as Nero. Weapon-swapping as Dante or Judgement Cutting as Vergil are both so easy, but Nero has comparatively more tricky tools and worse mobility.

Played some more warframe, got Citrine Prime (seems good) and Narin is building.

Also I think I'm just about maxed out on Unnamed Space Idle now. Did the 160 reinforce, and there appears to be no more progression. It may finally be time to switch to a different idle game.

Been playing some Magic Arena, enjoying my jank Eldrazi deck. Boy you wouldn't believe how much mana my play zone can fit in it. I'm also trying to play Virtual Circuit Board and build a CPU, but I'm having trouble making compact simple components, let alone a whole CPU!

Playing broken arrow

enemy has no air defence, not even manpad

"oh cool, perfect time to use attack helicopters and jets"

no air unit is available for this mission

whole mission take place near an airport your side occupies

I hate this trope
