Weekly ‘What’re You Playing?’ thread #4

SS13 mostly on Cm

"played" Milk inside/outside a bag of milk... two very short visual novels about a small kid going crazy while going to the shop to buy the aforementioned bag of milk. Written by a Russian dude. Minimal weebiness in the art style, but that's all.

Also beat Project Wingman. Great gameplay, batshit plot that makes less sense the more you think about it.

Counter Strike as per

Playing tactics orgre and pillars of eternity 2. Comfy asf

Fallout 4. This is my first ever Fallout game and I didn’t think it was something I would like but I can’t put it down.

Finally beat portal 2, and also been playing Orb of Creation, which is the best clicker game I know of, with interesting resource management.

I'm having the strongest urge to play Skyrim again. What did Todd Do to me.

europa universalis 4 and cyberpunk 2077

I am playing through Shadows of War. I originally played it on release, but the game kept crashing in the final region so I never finished it. It’s just as fun to mess with the orcs as I remember and the Nemesis system helps a lot. Still not sure whether it deserves to be patented or not, but I love creating stories and mindbreaking uruks with its help. Considering how stripped back and simple the original Shadows of Mordor was — it is a miracle that it got a sequel that actually managed to expand on the system.

Metroid Prime remaster after finishing Hogwarts (too long, and the open map did it no favors. Otherwise it was very charming and they nailed the visuals). Also waiting for Destiny 2 Lightfall

Hey they made that unlicensed final fantasy tactics game I always wanted to make

Slowly starting to make my way through my backlog so I think I’m gonna start Dishonored 2

I still huff the copium that some day someone will make a decent td game, though it only keeps getting more and more unlikely.

Wild hearts, fixed it to get 60 fps and it’s been enjoyable.

Been playing Halo Infinite, MTG Arena, and a little bit of Bloons TD 6 - I liked that team/map battle mode event

I'm back on Conquest of Elysium 5.

It's sort of a roguelike strategy game with autobattles and immense amounts of autism.

In a typical game you'll maybe see 15% of the world, because there's a shitload of different planes apart from Elysium, the main world itself.

Anything that dies in Elysium goes to Hades as a ghost version of itself. You summon a demon, it gets pulled from Inferno and goes back to heck if it dies in battle. Same goes for elementals, those come from the Elemental plane. There's a plane where the gods of the Aztec faction live, there's a plane where the powerful nature spirits that druids summon live and so on.

Different factions have different ways of interacting with all the planes, e.g. necromancers can fast travel through Hades. The nexus where the different elemental planes meet is also the place where the god of a certain faction is imprisoned. If you kill him, he's gone forever and can't be summoned anymore.

Of course, at that point your armies are so powerful you've won the game anyway but it's good neurodivergent fun. The scope of the world is just amazing, and everything that has a name lives somewhere, and you can break into its home and kick it in the bussy.

I been meaning to play the Harry Potter game but I been getting too drunk

chivalry 2 im addicted to killing god fearing knights with a sledgehammer

Dark souls 1. Im at the final boss, got int/dex build. Never beat it before

NFS ProStreet, because I'm r-slurred.

Still Dragonflight. Cleared the raid on normal and may do some heroic pugging depending on friends. Leveling a brewmaster too.

the Steins;Gate games finally went on sale so about 30 min into the first one. Jesus even being warned before this is a lot of text. and of course the voice acting is all weird over the top Japanese

other than that some botting in OSRS on an alt to see how far I can get before banhammer, and the seasonal maps in Trackmania (it's on Steam now which is nice)

Just Cause 3. The story campaign is all right. But running around the sandbox blowing stuff up has just the right amount of cathartic fun and mild challenge to be a blast.

New campaign in Stellaris

Unironically Hogwarts Legacy.

hearthstone, poggers

Elden ring again

I started playing vampire surviroes, and it's really fun.

TERF Simulator is amazing, but almost too much shit. By the time you get to the annoying astronomy minigame I was like "enough, motherlovers. I'm drunk, I don't even want to learn how to do this." Best AAA game since Spider-man, and less annoyingly written. I don't know how they even got this done in 2023.

Right now been playing Conquest of Elysium 5. It's a fun game, just looks like butt. It's one of those niche strategy games that not a whole lot of people play.

Sims 4, been trying to recreate a weird house.

Warcraft 3

I bought the Pokémon on sale and I’ll be playing that. Next I’ll play Live A Live. I know I’m a.

Hogwarts Legacy. It's really fun.

Got pathfinder wrath of righteous and it's been a slog even though I like the source material.

Most of the companions are poorly written like it's by some cringey first year roleplayer.

I'm playing a text adventure mobile game called Tinder.

Currently grinding some low tier warthogs to gain XP.

Finally got around to playing TLOU2, it's actually really good

I honestly think you're all just cute twinks. Especially that one queer moderator who skulks around in here. Gee I really do appreciate the thought and all the psycho analysis I really hope that you didn't have your parents spend their hard earned money on the pressures education to choose a field where you know you're just bad at it. But my U Penn degree and cybersecurity masters, would beg to differ, thanks for playing though. You realize this sub is nothing but a bunch of fat losers who cry about peoples opinions on the Internet in a sub with other big fat fatties. This sub is the equivalent of a liberal rally, just on the Internet and with less of a purpose and is way less respected.
