I'm not sure if Rollerdrome might be your thing, but I enjoyed it. You play as a girl competing in a roller-skating death arena. It's a bit like Tony hawk games, but combat plays a huge role, it's very satisfying and it's very well integrated with the rollerskating. I really enjoyed the first ten or so scenarios, but I'm not so good at score based games so I never finished it.

I've very recently started using Bookwyrm to track this books I'm reading, I've missed this functionality since I quit Goodreads back when Amazon bought it. But I'm not quite sure what I read before I started tracking...

Here are my highlights of (probably) this past six months:

DCC, this inevitable ruin. Fantastic book, Jeff Hayes is awesome. Don't want to accidentally give spoilers since others are on previous books.

Temeraire, Empire of Ivory. Story about Will and his dragon companion Temeraire. The author is very good at building worlds where the characters have a different way of thinking than an average modern reader, and it's definitely the case here. Will is a dedicated army officer and a proper old-fashioned gentleman. This does often leads to to some limitations in his worldview, such as judging people on their manners. But he is also kind, moral and willing to be proven wrong. And in this book we finally get POV from Temeraire, who's loyal, smart and sometimes naive. It's hard to explain but I really enjoy these books.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies. It's a world where fairies and their world are real, strange, dangerous and fascinating. our protagonist is a leading scholar in dryadology, she goes around charming /saving/defeating fairies and humans with the power of academic research and bravery 😂

I think that's Munich

For me it's about finding a situation that seems impossible at first, then eventually beating it by learning the enemy (both the actual enemies and the environment) and getting better myself.

That doesn't just include bosses, level design is a big part of it too, and it's what I enjoy (and sometimes detest) the most about souls games.

Edit: forgot the question I was answering, lol. Difficulty is an essential part of my experience, but more as a method and not the goal. It creates tension, keeps me focused, makes me notice things that I would have missed otherwise, and gives that great feeling of winning against the impossible.

So adorable!

The story combined so well with the gameplay, I love it. So I've stayed away from Hades 2's early access so that I get the full experience the first time I play it.

I got a switch as a birthday present a few years ago, so I've been waiting for the battery to go or for the steam deck oled to go on sale, whichever happens first. I spend an hour on the train every time I go to the lab, so it'll be well worth it.

I'm playing Hades right now, even though I was planning on finishing Mario+Rabbids after putting it on pause for years lol. Although for Hades my skill ceiling might be around heat 15. I still win some but half of the runs are a slog.

I keep thinking about replaying, but always end up distracted by something else. I have now two Playthroughs in sekiro, ds3 and bloodborne, and I doubt it'll change soon. Most of my game time these days are during commute anyway, hard to carry a full-sized PC or console around

It's been on my wishlist for some time. Every time I see it I wonder why I added such a visually unappealing game, then I'm reminded that the game screenshots are quite cute and pretty. Still, my backlog is so huge that I don't know if I'll ever get to trying it.
