Games

Fuckin' game... fuckin' kicked my dog, fuckin' burned my house down...

Doing another Metroid Dread playthrough (number... 9? Never really counted) because I moved a week ago and my PC isn't set up yet

I’m playing Cyberpunk and I’m oscillating between this game is not as good as the hype says it is, and yay a decent rpg.

I'm gunna' start Armored Core tomorrow, maybe. I should finish up some games, but maybe I'll just drop them for now and start fresh with AC1 on PS1.

I just finished Big Walk. It was so good, I feel a kind of emptiness now that there's no more left to do. If you have people who can play online, the game is so much fun as a group.

Been trying out Tears of Metal with a friend, I like it for how it has historically accurate depictions of the English as horrific demonic monstrosities, fun co-op gameplay and overall just a nice roguelite package.

I've gotten sucked into a handful of PS2 games for nostalgia because I learned about Retro Achievements. Just logged into my account on PCSX2 and started up some Guitar Hero and Dynasty Warriors 3. It's a neat way to encourage playing older games like this because I get dopamine hits whenever I get an achievement and it tells me my placement on leaderboards. Some people on the site are too hardcore for me though, I'm not grinding 9999 kills on a DW3 level to get top leaderboard position for kills in that level.

Enjoy the Elden Ring DLC comrade, I absolutely loved playing it as difficult and as big as it was.

I haven't been playing much this week, my head has been kinda of scrambly after coming out here in the funny hexagonal bear site and more recently to a friend (it went very well, yay!!). But I have played a bit of Isaac with a friend on his second save, I played a bit of Hades and did a little bit of training with Marisa on SF6, I trained a pretty cool 7k dmg combo off of a Punish Counter on the corner with lvl 3 and full drive, but haven't played since then and that was in the middle of the week.

Signed up for the Duskbloods network test. It’s, definitely its own thing. There were a lot of concerns that the PvE aspect was going to be a sideshow, but it’s more like a ton of From Soft PvE with the PvP looming in the background. Triumphing at the end is obviously the goal, but it rewards you more so for efficiently doing the PvE section than your PvP skills. I’ve never played a soulslike game before and I definitely felt like that was a detriment, so I hope the launch version has training modes where we can learn the fights against the tougher mobs in a low stakes environment.

Cyberpunk 2077. Was trying to sort out my broken mods, and I managed to fix the issue. Then I got hit with a broken archive error and the game is unplayable now.

If anyone with an unmodded copy of the game could please upload a copy of basegame_4_appearance.archive and link it I would highly appreciate it, as it should fix the game.

I'm playing Arkham Horror LCG solo on Tabletop Simulator. I'm using a net deck built for playing solo for now until I get to know the cards better and can build my own deck. Running the Night of the Zealot campaign first to get to know the game. It's pretty fun so far.

I managed to finish my first North Korean run in Super Metroid!

Maybe we need a category in which you only kill Phantoon, Ridley and Crocomire next

Finally got my fight stick buttons from aliexpress. This is my prototype just to test it out but I'm going to my buddy's place to use his drill press for a more permanent solution.

Oh yeah it's skullgirls time

been playing Baldur's Gate 2. last time i played it i was 13 years old and i definitely didnt pick up all the nuances of the dialogue nor the gameplay. it's been a lot of fun, they really dont make em like they used to. the Pathfinder games get pretty close, but i love the rugged dirtyness of the 2d more than the "plastic" feeling 3d.

Been playing Metaphor: ReFantazio inbetween illness and recovering from surgery. Only got 10 hours in, but I really like the style of the game. Definitely an A+ effort from Atlus. The game's first dungeon is absurdly long though. I wasn't even remotely prepared with proper consumables when I walked in. I am definitely enjoying it. Great game with a compelling story thus far.

finally got an FTL win on normal difficulty, i can't image how difficult hard difficulty is

Got to 2500~2600 rating in Once Upon a Galaxy only to scrub out day 1 and not even make day 2 in the tournament Q_Q

Playing the excellent Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition. Got bored with Ragnarok Online. Thinking I might give TRX the fan Tomb Raider 1-3 collection a whirl since there's been a lot of updates to it.

I started consuming some Elden Ring lore and then almost bought it, but wanted to think it over more since I usually bounce off Souls games. Convinced myself that I could be into it, then heard they're putting out a version with the DLC and so on in a couple weeks so I'm still not getting it until then in case either the price of the new thing beats the current price+DLC or if they put the previous configuration on big sale or something. 🤷

been feeling the pull of the Atelier series so i've been playing Resleriana which is one i've not played before, i'm not very far into it but it's been pretty fun so far

You know "Design is Law"? In Final Fantasy Tactics, CT is Law. What is CT? Clock Ticks which decide the turn order. Equivalent of Tactics Ogre's Wait Turn system.

The easiest way to victory is to have infinite range (so Sword abilities with Agrias or Orlandu, holy shit Orlandu lol) with stuff like max-Jump Lancers, and then attack whatever unit moved last. You get screwed over enough with timed spell casts and shit, you learn to just attack the unit that'll take the longest to move next. Seems simple and it is, happens to reduce the game to a baby-easy snooze fest and render most spellcasters totally useless.

Beat the base game of Nioh 2, decided to switch from fists to splitstaff and go all-in on magic with the switchglaive as backup. Seems pretty good, now that I have the mystic art I just cast like 5 buffs and obliterate enemies. Beat NG+ Gozuki (I know, but still) hitless with a wombo combo. Currently trying to progress on NG+ to unlock NG++ and level enough to do the DLC missions.

Did a few runs in Risk of Rain 2. Was going for the Drifter challenge to open the sack on the new DLC level with the big eye, but it fucking fell on me when it died and instagibbed me. As far as melee classes go, it seems like one of the worst, especially when it comes to aerial enemies (seriously, all the new bosses in the DLC are flying and you can't hit them?), but The Cube^tm^ is very funny.

Some more Message from Deep Space, I'm I think about 2/3 through. It's good! There are some times where I've finished a week without really nailing down definitions of words beyond vibes, and then get to the weekly meeting and NPCs start going on about how the aliens must be able to VARA VARB VARC and isn't that amazing, which is very funny to me.

As always, more Warframe.

I checked back on ESO to try the new overland difficulty settings and got majorly sucked into putting together a new build that can survive the base game bosses on master mode ( level 3 out of 4 ), you have to pay attention to enemy mechanics again, bosses can easily one-shot you with some moves, though the moves are usually telegraphed in advance, I also switched to a full melee setup to try a different playstyle because I always played ranged before, feels like I had to re-learn the game’s combat mechanics somewhat, I’m using an npc companion tank too, I think I might resume the dlc story quests now that the build is almost done, still have something like 30-40% of the story left in this game

doing more hoi4 kaiserredux and TFR runs, cause nothing else is interesting right now :P

Mortal shell 2 is meh, i'm really tired of souls games as of late, so its not really hitting. also, UE5 game suckiness

Gone back to Enter The Gungeon after trying Darkest Dungeon 2.

I have not killed the past.

Darkest dungeon 2 comments that is silly and petty: All the Hellion paths miss the point of the Hellion's backstory and that annoys me. How do you miss the point of the backstory you wrote. She posturing. AAAAaaaaaAAAAA.

im playing fire emblem awakening, im still at the Valm invasion at the final mission vs the conquerer dude Walhart, like 2 chapters before i used my main team in a story map and was destroyed many times, i think what i was lacking was levels and better units in general because the enemies now have silver weapons.

The only units i had that were really strong were robin that can double nosferatu, cordelia, stahl and tiki, so i finally went to the paralouge child recruits, and there are real good, lucina was really weak for a while because i reclass her as a paladin but now she is really strong, same with her sister cynthia, then nah was a great knight and had like 33 strenght (biggest in my army) and now she is a dragon again but with luna, im going to train severa into an assasin so i finally have an archer unit, also i finally recruited tiki who im trying to get to lvl 15 dark night before she goes back to a dragon unit
