Rumor has it that GameCube support for retroachievements.org is finally coming tomorrow. I just finished Paper Mario 64 in preparation for finally trying TTYD and I'm exhausted so I decided to do a quick r-slurred bit of vidya today to kill time before GameCube era and I am playing

which apparently exists and is just awful. However I am 5/7 of the way through it already on a no-damage hardmode run so I should be able to 100% it for RA in an hour or so:

Sword of the Samurai (1989)

I played Disco Elysium. I was very impressed with how reactive the game was to everything you did and how you could go about solving the murder clues in almost any order. I'm going to sue the devs for blatantly stealing my likeness and life events.

I've been using the steam sale to pick up some older games I remembered fondly.

The first is Borderlands 2. I played split screen on an Xbox 360 originally, so playing on PC is one heck of a visual enhancement. The game itself is as good as I remember, which makes me wonder why Borderlands 3 was such a giant wet fart beyond just the bad writing.

The second is Sins of a Solar Empire and I managed to burn most of Saturday playing it, which also pretty much lined up with my previous experience. It really deftly manages to thread the needle on blending rts and 4x without becoming too bogged down by the latter.

Also played a bit of RimWorld; it's pretty much filling the niche left by The Sims for me at this point.

And a little Factorio with a friend. The biome we started in is a pretty lush forest which is completely different to what I experienced playing by myself. The factory we're making is way less spaghetti than the one I made by myself, which is nice!

This week, I played a lot of Workers and Resources. I didn't even do that much, but in realistic, everything takes time. I may have fricked myself over with the starting location, but I'll try to make it work regardless. Also started playing Sunless Seas. It's much less refined than Skies, but I got a solid evening out of it. That did inspire me to have another go at Book of Hours, the somewhat-sequel to Cultist Simulator, though a sorely unnoticed one, which is very interesting, with some rare actual quality writing in it.

I'm doing the Dragon Age Origins DLCs for the first time. Awakening is still impressive for its scale and scope. Truly worthy of expansion status

I've also been addicted to playing TripleA — online Axis and Allies — at work

Timberborn!

I've been playing a bunch of stuff in an effort to make a dent in my shamefully large backlog.

Slime Rancher: Too cutesy for me but the actual game mechanics are decent so I'll continue on. Suck up a buncha little slime creatures with your vacuum gun, shoot them into pens, then feed 'em shit by blasting carrots and the like at their faces. But the first night I went to sleep in-game, by morning they had somehow bounced out of their pen and ate all the chickens in the neighboring pen! Why didn't the game tell me this could happen! (the game probably did tell me this could happen and i just wasn't paying attention)

Reus: Seeing it's 11 years old and I bought it then, I'm just a bit late in getting to this one. God game where you give the world oceans and forests and shit so they can thrive or something, I dunno, I'm early on yet. Kinda clunky, almost seems like a mobile game.

Ark Survival Evolved: I did play this way back in its early-early access time and everything was broken and ran at about 5 fps. Now like 7 years later only half the things are broken and it runs at 10 fps, good job. And apparently they have a TV show coming up, as they proudly announce on the title screen of the game. I'll watch if the star of that show looks like a typical Ark custom character at 4'2", 300lbs., and a 6 foot wingspan, otherwise why bother?

Age of Empires 4 and Company of Heroes 3: These aren't backlog picks, just have been continuing on in the excellent campaigns of both these great games. Giving a shoutout to my bros.

Code Vein: Why is every weeby action game like this? I just wanna go slash monsters motherlover, yet of my first hour in the game probably 45 mins was spent in menus and tutorials learning how a needlessly complex weapon system works. Which I'm sure I will forget 90% of by the next time I play this clunkfest.

Necromunda Hired Gun: Some euro jank FPS looter shooter with a really cool H.R. Giger-like setting. Apparently it's Warhammer related but so are half of the video games released in the last 10 years. Also has a fairly elaborate weapons system but approaches it the right way compared to Code Vein: You can frick around with powering up your weapons and other stats, OR NOT. The game isn't contingent of spending a lot of time in menus doing bland shit, but rather shooting weird butt monsters in the face.

Finished the System Shock remake last weekend. I originally had mixed feelings on the game, it has some pretty glaring flaws, but sitting with it since then, I think it's more than the sum of its parts and was a pretty good experience.

Since then, I leaned into River City Girls as a palette cleanser but have been having so much fun with it that I might go on a beat 'em up binge.

Playing tales of arise

Love the gameplay but I hate how gay anime story is

Yawntrail

Holy shit Wuk Lamat sucks

System Shock (the remake). Not sure if I really like it yet, seems like half the game is backtracking and yet it's so easy to miss things

I've been playing a bit of SC2 and Brood War. Also bought Arsenal of Democracy and HOI3 since they were on sale. Also played in the tournament last saturday, and played some Garou with kang post stream

The devs of Slay the Princess basically said "lol pirate out game we don't care" on twitter, so I decided to check it out. It's a good execution on an interesting enough idea.

Guilty Gear XRD Rev2. Used to play accent core all the time, and took a long hiatus from fighting games in general. Just been messing around doind combo trials and some aingle player stuff to get the gist of how the characters play. Been having a pretty good time even though i am no where near as good as a used to be at the genre

I started my own fort for a little more Dwarf Fortress after my turn on rDrama's Mostibkun

I dunno about this GUI deal I am having to drag my mouse all over the place. The old interface was painful for some things like dwarf labor assignments but the core of moving around and building stuff was actually very good if you are capable of exiting vi

I looked in the Dwarf Therapist and I learned some Dwarves are gay now, doesn't seem like it shows in the game unless you check for two husbands in a marriage

I played a good amount of Hunt: Showdown this weekend with some friends

surprisingly very fun tactical FPS with an INSANE audio engine, the audio is basically the major gimmick of the game

Old school, late 1800s-early 1900s weapons with long reload times, very intense gunfights

Overall I really like it, will probably get more into it over the next few weeks

Going back to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in preparation for MH6 next year. Taking it slow and trying out bow for once - feels like butt without focus and bow charge+

Path of Achra, Cogmind, and Caves of Qud. I keep trying with Cogmind but I suck so badly at it. Achra and Qud are very fun though

Beat PLA, will update with all the random shinies I got. It's a really fun game and probably top 2 or 3 pokemon games. Also got 2 shiny Meltans and a shiny Squirtle in GO.

Blood Bowl 2. I suck.

I played Taiji, a very blatant knockoff of The Witness. If you like that style of puzzle solving (eg you learn to solve puzzles through simpler versions of the puzzle) it's great. Otherwise it's kind of stupid. If you are really into puzzle games and you especially like the witness, check it out.

Warframe after a long break.

I just wanted to some shooting and slashing.

I also decided to catch up on quests and started Douviri Paradox, which confused me greatly. It's like they attached a diffrent game to this one.

Shadow of war

Beyond good and evil

Vampire survivors

Just finished Shadow Tactics, which was a great game . I picked up the DLC as well as a few other games on sale. Just starting Age of Wonders 4, which seems cool so far.

More Elden Ring DLC. I'm getting filtered by some of these bosses but still making good progress. It doesn't help that I started it in NG+

Downloaded the Darkness Falls mod for 7 Peepees to Do and have been fun playing solo. I've cheated a bit because it was pretty difficult at first and wasn't having much fun, also downloaded the Fallout mod but haven't put much time into it.

Last night I bought Crimeboss because Payday 3 has been way worse than 2 since it's release. The roguelike campaign in Crimeboss has been fun so far. Pleasantly surprised as of now.

Frick Gaius and his gay butt ride.

Bug Fables which is really fun, especially with hard mode enabled. I just beat Paper Mario TTYD remake and wanted to finally beat Bug Fables. Just waiting on College Football 25 so I can take some Podunk State to the playoffs.

Stellar Blade has advanced algebra puzzles, holy shit my butt got fricking filtered.

37#21=928

77#44 =3993

123#17 =14840

71#6 =?

stardew and elden ring

Making my own

Can't tell waht it is

Spez: I have been working for you for years, for free. I get abused, harassed, threatened, insulted, given death threats, my family insulted and threatened with harm and death, my personal info found and leaked, stalked, I have to see some of the most horrible shit there is and all to keep YOUR website running.

Where is our compensation? If you want to talk about things being fair and equitable, about how people have been expecting things to be free for too long and now it's time to pay the piper, where is OUR pay? I'll take cash, bank transfer, PayPal, or certain goods.

You can't have it both ways, so pay up.
