jesus i started factorio just last week and this is the worst drug i've ever tried.

went from 0 -> gotta play day/night in like a day. keeps me up at night cause i can't stop thinking about increasing some output or another. only get a few hours sleep before i wake up and find it extremely hard to motivate myself to drive into my meaningless !codecels job everyday. the wife and i already had a fight over it. may schedule an intervention with rest of the fam later this week.

this never happened to me before, not like this.

Doom 2 star wars wad why do they call it star oven when they of in the cold food of out hot eat the starfood !r-slurs

Tower of time, real-time-pause combat sort off

Kingdom Come Deliverance

Played Robocop rogue city

Bought the season pass for watch dogs 2 so replaying that

Played borderlands 2 today with a friend.

Played the monhun wilds beta. ing that theyre secretly adding new weapon types because otherwise it doesnt do much different from world. Wound mechanic is nice and offset attacks are fricking awesome though.

Getting MP to work is fricking r-slurred though, they outdid themselves there. Joining through steam didnt work so heres the process we had to go through.

Menu > communication > player list > search hunter ID > input friends ID, send them a friend request > friend has go to the "invite notification menu" to accept your request > you go back to player list where they are now under the friends tab > invite them to a party link > they accept

Now if you post a quest, they can join it. Oh but if you want to see each other in the open world without going on a quest you need to invite them to an 'environment link'. But while youre doing that you cant post quests.

Oh and the hunter ID? thats a random string of numbers and letters that your friend has to tell you and is found on the "hunter profile" page which isnt under the communications tab and even when you find that page it doesnt actually show you the id, you need to see the bit of text on the bottom that tells you what button press to actually show the ID

I played germany in a hoi4 game where @Bridge larped as IRL italy

Soyhammer 40 gay Rogue Trader.

Started a new run in hopes that Owlcat fixed quest softlocks and to check the DLC. For some reason they've decided that the walking nuke that is Cassia wasn't enough and made Kibellah a human-sized blender.

Also XCOM:EU

After missing 3 95% shots at a 3 hp chryssalid I've decided to play OG XCOM on my tablet instead. Old PC games are the best mobile games.

LA Noire. Haven't played it for years so I've forgotten which questions to use and keep fricking up cases. Of course it doesn't actually matter because Cole Phelps fails upwards.

Had forgotten how based Bekowsky is.

Got BONGed in !hoi4

Also used space bugs to kill super soldiers in DoW2. Then switched to Starcraft2 to kill super soldiers with space bugs. Shook things up a bit.

I've been playing Factorio. Fulgora makes my brain hurt.

I've been playing Black Ops 6's campaign. The open ended mission design is interesting and was pretty cool for some battle focused missions. But it's strange that COD devs are obsessed with dipping into other genres. The stealth segments are especially annoying. I didn't like that shit in 2017's WWII and it's not any better now. Even if the tech is more advanced, COD's gunplay and physics are more or less the same now as how they started in 2003's original, and idk why the devs still think stealth somehow works with that.

Are they embarrassed to work for Activision? Do they want to be making games for Kojima?

Also I think I'm officially good at Deep Rock Galactic now. I did my first Elite Deep Dive and I can regularly do Haz 5 missions now

more shadow generations. what can i say brothers and sisters it truly is peak fiction. finally 100%ed the collection, working on s-ranking stuff and further improving my times now. still finding new routes even after dozens of runs on some of these stages. i needed this game the way people stranded in the desert need water, it was that revitalizing to me. i could gush about the visuals, the music, the level design, the story, basically everything about the game for hours on end. it is true autism kino.

Black ops 6. Campaign is the best one since infinite warfare

Dark Souls 1. I decided to avoid the path of least resistance and try some harder areas earlier in the game. This time I beat the Catacombs and rescued Reah before entering the Depths.

It's interesting that DS1 drops a lot of hints aimed at getting you to the Catacombs pretty early in the game. Lots of characters talk about them or give advice about them, Petrus and his crew go down there, you learn Reah is in danger there, and my guess is that a new player not reading the wiki could assume that they (or New Londo) are the correct way to reach the lower bell. But most players have either played the game a lot or had access to meta knowledge from the beginning, so in-game guidance (or lack thereof) tends to be forgotten or overshadowed, and everybody knows the Catacombs are a "mid-game" area usually visited after Anor Londo.

Even with me visiting early, I still went too late to catch Patches' first appearance (which I only know about from the internet). I'm not entirely sure if the player is intended to go earlier than the internet thinks, or if that whole section of the game is just a victim of conflicting/unresolved design choices. Of course the skellies are very dangerous to a weaker character, while Pinwheel is balanced like an early game boss, but then you can't even save Reah (who the game tells you is in the Catacombs) without entering the late-game Tomb of the Giants.

Fortain

I played the new Romancing Saga 2 remake, which was quite good but just a smidge too easy compared to the original. Pretty good game all things considered.

Played a good bit if Victoria 3 but I'm really really fricking back at it so mostly I'd just slowly put Vietnam into a severe debt spiral and try again.

A friend of mine bought GBFV so I reinstalled and bought the really tall demon broad. She's really fun.

Was convinced to buy no man's sky and did the expedition which was pretty good. I played the game years ago on gamepass but it's definitely improved a lot since then.

Fallout 4. Again.

Stellaris, they added the pokemon expansion where you capture space whales

Back into the Isaac grind again for dead god

Blacked Ops 6 is good. At least the campaign and zombies are, no idea on the MP. The campaign is... interesting, it's like every level is a different style of game. There's the traditional CoD level, a Hitman level, a Ghost Recon level, and oddly enough, a Prey/sci-fi level. And then you have a home base of this pretty country manor which you can wander around in and solve puzzles. Something for everyone, but still lots of guns on these levels and the gunplay in the game is solid. Happy to play it on Gamepass and not have paid $70.

Also been playing a couple of excellent indies this week: Karate Survivors (a karate movie Vampire Survivors knock off) and Utopia Must Fall (a Missile Command meets Galaga knock off). Good stuff, and both dirt cheap.

Homoage: twinkguard

Actually its better then i expected. Everything i saw was how horible game it would be. Gameplay looked booring. Writing bottom of barrel shit. Animations and models were off putting.

But now that im playing it. Its not that bad.

Writing is still shit. Setting is r*ped and killed and game play is shalow. There is no rpg in this game.

But im having fun. Espesily when i dont have to deal with companion quests or main quests. Running around and doing side quests is best part.

Companines are shit. I only like one of them. Fruity necromancer. But even he is donutsteel. Harding would be fine. But her own story is meh and she comes off as weak?

is probably worst character ever done in vidyagames. Its so ridiculous that i would belive if it came out it was writen by fifth columnists trying to kill bioware.

Other companions are meh. I dont like how everyone needs to be spesial. Long wre gone days of mere mortal men against horrors of univers. Its one magical spesial case after another. And they come in every form special. Even invalids.

Also ui is bad. Just mess. And it over explains everything. It explains even what is going on. You get notifications like X is nervous becouse you said y. Mark of good writing when you have to explain it.

But game is quite neurodivergent. Everything get spoonfed. Your hand is held constantly. You are surounded by animlas you can pet. Even in HQ. Light turns on when companions have something to tell.

What i dont get is who this game is made for. For times it feels like for people who dont play games. But its confusing as it is even if you have played dragon age games.

Its cartoony and looks and has atmosphere of childrens game. But same time its extreamly violent. You literally run on corpses through town.

But its not dark becouse nobody reacts to dark and horible things happening.

Its not people who like rpg becouse writing is shit and its not rpg.

Finished Wasteland 3. It's alright. Kinda falls apart towards the end although that's a given. OST has some zingers doe.

I was waiting for this post

I finished my last WotR run (Angel) and started my first ever Trickster run. I thought I might feel burnt out and not be up to starting another one so soon but surprisingly I'm not I gave up on finding a portrait and just generated something so I could finally start it's 50/50 on anything in search results being AI anyway

I just started act 3 and the little bit of trickster content I've seen so far amuses me. We'll see if it's still funny in 30 hours. I've also decided to do a bunch of cheating gestalt builds on everyone, partially because of indecisiveness and partially because it's fun to break the game

Pokemon outbounds a fangame where aliens invade

False skies: very good jrpg with gameboy color aesthetic, tons of classes, interesting story, name your own characters. Only issue is it looks like a nonbinary woman drew the characters to look as non gender specific as possible. Like you can pick male and female but males just look fatter with a bigger chin and women just have longer hair. It's borderline silly but nothing else is my issue.
