Penny's Big Breakaway. It's sorta like spiderman web swinging + tony hawk pro skater, i really like it. Short game though

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic just hit 1.0, so I've started playing it again. Tbh it hasn't changed much since I last played it. The biomes DLC is a little disappointing, I guess I'll need to wait for the community to create more fun maps to play it on, and they never improved the random map generator, but it's still an incredibly detailed game, probably the best successor to TTD to appear yet. The only downside is that it's incredibly slow moving, and everything takes time. Beyond that, it's been League, CS2, and Fallout 4, which stubbornly sits there, daring me to complete it.

Played Death Race (1976) and you can too

Finally started Baldur's Gate 3 for real. I'm enjoying the character and dialogue-based part of the gameplay because it reminds me of Mass Effect. On the other hand, while DnD combat is forgivable around the table with your friends (it feels like gambling with a storyline attached), it does not work well in a single player experience. It's lame when your attacks miss half the time, especially if the system depicts every miss with a half-assed dodge animation instead of blocks, parries, etc. Despite the developers giving you multiple ways to deal with most situations, it also still feels very limited compared to what even a novice DM could do in real life. And the save system essentially invalidates the luck elements as much as you want to.

I suppose this is all inevitable, but it makes me feel like the DnD brand does more harm than good for the game. Making an original RPG would let you design a better combat system, while removing the player's expectation to be able to do whatever they want.

Just did a new vegas playthrough. Still lots of fun.

Now I'm playing wolfenstein the new order.

Will probably play various gamecube games during the week as well

I went back to Tropico 4, the last one that retained any of the whole Caribbean island thing that it's supposed to be all about. It's a great game except way way too easy. Unless you're letting people starve to death they'll all love you and support you forever.

But then I notice in the map editor it lets you write some pretty complex scripts to do just about anything you could ever want to. So I'm going to make a lot of events, especially later in the game, where some people get pissed at you for no good reason and everyone has higher expectations. There's big parts of the game that I never even have to consider using like martial law, so I'm only playing half the game. So I'll put in an event where the army just imposes martial law on its own and you have to deal with all the negative consequences of it. The kind of challenge that leaders in third world shitholes have to face all the time.

Valkyrie Profile on PS1

Mullet Madjack. Fast paced FPS roguelite with supercool art, a homage to '80s and early '90s anime before the libertarians and weebs and pillow humpers took over. Everything neon, robots with leather jackets and sunglasses, mohawks, lotsa blood and robot guts. You get 10 seconds per level (with 10 levels per floor and 10 floors in the game), and your kills grant you somewhere between 1-4 more seconds. A successful level will take about 50-90 seconds. Like all roguelites, some runs will go better than others depending on what upgrades you roll between levels. Really into it right now, adrenaline rush goodness.

Oh I'm also playing a bit of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and Guilty Gear -STRIVE-, the latter mostly because some friends wanted to pick it up so I'm teaching them how to play it. It has been very fun teaching them but also bullying them every now and then

Still "playing" magical research 2, according to the game I am 95% done. Completed "A terrible mistake" and some challenges "Danger" and "Primary".

I'm doing a Fear and Hunger playthrough.

Going mostly blind, but I look up a few things every now and then.

The game is fun in a weird way. I'm really enjoying it.

Shit like getting hit by a random event and then 50/50ing and dying isn't really 'fun' mechanically, but it adds a lot of atmosphere to the game if that makes any sense. It loops back into being fun.

I also sawed off all of the Girl's limbs and used her as a guinea pig and did tons of experiments on her. Mostly feeding her everything and seeing the effects.

I beat fnv I didn't 100% it but I did put 60 hours into it so I'm fine.

I don't know what else to play next. I want something story based that makes me want to jump in to see what happens next after work. I might try that persona 3 remake my wife keeps telling me to play. I wish I could play Elden ring or baldurs gate 3 but I can't really stand bad frame rates on steam deck. Maybe I'll just play plan escape.torment again

E: oh I'm playing selaco too even tho I hate gzdoom

I'm like 1/3 of the way through Stellar Blade right now. The soundtrack is really good.

Trying out monster hunter ride cause it's free (I'm a ps+ cuck)

Just started playing Elden Ring because I thought the weapons in the DLC looked cool not realizing they're only in the DLC areas (whoops). I think I've done my build wrong (I suspect I should have been pumping up health) and the world is feeling a little too open. Currently in the Siofra river area and the ghost ogres or whatever are nearly one-shotting me.

I've been playing:

• Spellmasons: It's a cute little indie game and is essentially a spell crafting, deck building roguelike inspired by Transistor and Noita. The later levels can get pretty monotonous when you figure out how to cheese the game. It's great with friends and goes on sale for $5 every now and then.

• Destiny 2: The Final Shape: I really only played release (awful) and Forsaken (great) beforehand, and it's been fun for a few weeks now. I might pick up raiding again if they fully undo the raid damage rebalance since D2LFG has been unusually awful.

• Tale of Two Wastelands: FO3 is boring enough that I should've just played FNV.

I also played here and there:

• Team Fortress 2: The 100 player server has been fun.

• Talisman: It's free and was fun to try with friends.

Eventually™:

• Space Station 14: I'm trying to get my friends to join.

• Abiotic Factor: Beat everything available so far and I'm really, really looking forward to the full release in about a year.

• Starsector: When the new update releases.

Beat crystal project, would highly recommend, minecraft looking world metroidvania with final fanatasy turn based ff5 class changing system. Really good

Now playing dicefolk a dice pokelike roguelite, crow country a prerendered ps1 looking horror game most similar to resident evil sorta and pokemon bizarre a fangame that is very memeish

My Inner Nintendo fan got pogged up at the direct , so I'm planning to get more stuff done on Super Metroid and Superstar Saga on my SNES mini.

Plus, I decided to take some advice from /h/kappa and download Fightcade. Right now I only got MvC2 on it, but I'm really excited to try it out! But alas, I actually need to git gud before I hit any sort of public fights
