Been playing a heavily-modded playthrough of Minecraft. Am enjoying building up my world to look alive.

I am playing Drove and really loving it. Most likely done with the first chapter. The Gothic inspiration is clear, but it plays entirely differently. Gonna join the Remnants as they were more playfully written.

BLUE PRINCE! IT IS SO GOOD!

It's a puzzle game like Myst, and a puzzle game like a board game sort of. So it has short term and long term puzzles. It's so good! I'm obsessed.

I've been wrapping up endgame dungeons in Clair Obscur this week, having played through the story last week. I was a big PS1 final fantasy fan as a kid that later got into dark souls/Sekiro, so this game hit so hard for me. I can't recommend it strongly enough if you've been a fan of these genres.

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.

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

fight 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 have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It's been drawing me away from "finishing" Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They're all so good, I just don't have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.

I've been trapped in a Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time addiction ever since that came out. I'm a huge fan of the original 3DS game, but it was kinda forgotten by gaming history. And now we have a much bigger and more polished game for more platforms! For those who haven't heard of it: it's a bastard child of singleplayer Final Fantasy XIV and Animal Crossing. Very cute and cozy, mercilessly addicting, simulates the experience of having ADHD incredibly well.

This is how it typically goes: you want new furniture for your house. You're out of a specific kind of wood that's needed, so you go to a place that has it. On the way there you see an NPC with a quest - some poor farmer is besieged by overgrown carrots, and wants you to kill 10 of them. Might as well, it's only a slight detour. You kill the carrots, and then help yourself to some more crops on the farm, and get a rare carrot that you need to cook a dish to advance your Chef Life! Better get to that immediately, before you forget. You go back to town and cook the dish. You still don't have that new furniture you set out to get.

About the only thing I don't like is that the story quests are less weird than the original game, everything else is a straight upgrade.

Finally started playing Baldur’s Gate 3. Based in impressions from the first 15ish hours, this may be a strong GOAT contender for me.

Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

Restarting Dredge for the umpteenth time. I keep getting just so far and give up. So here's to hoping I play through all the way this time.

Final Fantasy VIII, almost at the end of the third disc. Hot take: this is my favorite PS1 entry in the series (and IX is my second favorite). I'm not going to pretend it's a perfect game but it takes a lot of chances and I think most of the them pay off.

Oblivion remake, finished thieves guild and dark brotherhood and the crusader questline. Now I am starting the mages guild. Nostalgia hitting hard.

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

Brotato 🥔

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.

Just gave Stellaris a try tonight. I'm hooked. I sunk 9 Hours in already

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.

Suicide Squad. Completed the main story. In order to 100% you only need to grind the original post-game, but I'm playing each season now for the tiny droplet of story each has.

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

Patient gamer here. Playing Skyrim for the first time and having a blast.

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.

Picked up Star of Providence this past weekend and I'm hooked, the pause menu music has been looping in my head nonstop since

Finished playing through Atomic Heart, and because of that wanted to play a game that was, you know, actually fun instead of a miserable slog, so I've been playing Crab Champions and playing the original BioShock again for the millionth time. Sometimes Sea of Thieves.

Been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Just completed Blind Forest and this seems like a great sequel so far. :)

I've primarily been playing Celeste and been enjoying it. I made it to the summit and now I'm going back through and trying to find all the strawberries, cassettes, and crystals without a guide and beat the B-Side levels. It's kind of a slog though, so I'll probably resort to using a guide eventually. Other than that I've been dabbling a bit with Elden Ring and GTA V and playing stuff like Pizza Possum and Plate Up with my fiancé.

Shotgun Cop Man. Short sweet and simple from the people that made My Friend Pedro. The movement system and level design feels pretty sublime when you get in a good flow. And I just discovered there's Steam Workshop levels!

THERE'S SO MUCH GAMES!!

I've played some old Silver Box Dungeons and Dragons games (Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame and Shadow Sorcerer) I got from a GOG promotion who knows how long ago. Stuff from 1988-1990. My god, those games suck HARD. Granted, PCs didn't have much in terms of "good real time action games", but those just feel awful from start to finish. The fact that increasing cycles or adding frameskips in DOSBox doesn't speed up the games doesn't help, either.

Shadow Sorcerer isn't as bad as the previous 2, no longer being a side scroller and being real time tactics, but it doesn't quite cut it.
