Nostalgia called me, and I once again awoke in the hold of a ship, held prisoner for transport, and uncermoniously dumped upon the dock of Seyda Neen.

Haven’t gotten terribly far, hoofed it to Balmora(of course clearing tombs and caves along the way), have managed to cobble together a mix of Chitin and Netch Leather armor. Grabbed the Demons Spear before joining the Fighters Guild and meeting with Caius.

Started Still Wakes The Deep a Week ago. Taking my time, but it’s pretty good. Not quite as scary as I thought it’d be though.

Also starting a third playthrough of Disco Elysium.

I was initially dismissive of Vampire Survivors before I finally played it and realized that it was kind of like a clicker, so I’ve been on 30 minute dopamine drip feeding sessions all weekend.

I’m gonna throw some PSP games on my handheld and play at the park. I got Monster Hunter 3rd, Silent Hill Origins, and Armored Core Last Raven queued up. I never had a PSP so I’m open to recs if anyone has favorites.

I’ve been on farming simulator 22 for about a month. never thought it would be much more than just satisfyingly harvesting wheat for a few hours, but now I’m practically a tractor enthusiast

Started a new Vicky 3 playthrough as Japan on the new patch, did the Meiji Restorations in the 1880s, currently #6 great power as of ~1910. It seems like they changed how the investment pool works and I don’t understand the difference between the different laws because none of the tooltips were updated. The PB also seem way more powerful than they used to be. Foreign investment in your vassals is cool and good, though I’m not sure how to do it to non-vassal countries (I would like to buy one China plz). Maybe you need a treaty port? Who knows. My literacy has been going down, lmao, peaked at 75% down to 70%. It’s strange that you seem to get one type of Power Bloc (the trade one) without the DLC, but it seems like a nice little buff for great powers.

Edit: oh also they patched out the double uno reverse sway exploit which was probably good.

got back into Grim Dawn. was doing a mostly brianless soldier/oathkeeper autoattack run, lots of passives and stat bonuses. initially it was kinda boring but now i’ve got some fun stuff that sends the enemies ragdolling away. hopefully i can get through it and actually beat it this time.

also been playing some read dead 2, got the white arabian randomly in the snowy area near the legendary bison. my partner urged me to go catch it as i usually just ignore horses in the game (like i’ll use the one you get in the beginning for the entire game lmao) but i got this one all gussied up with a braided mane and a nice saddle. love how people comment on how pretty she is in towns.

elden ring dlc is on hold for a bit, i’ll pick it back up whenever.

Beat the misty forest on heroic in emberward, which is a “build your maze” style TD with slay the spire style progression and deck building.

I’m also working my way through Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands as I wait for Hunt Showdown 2 and the new Helldivers update. I’m having a good time with Tiny Tina’s it’s the most polished borderlands has felt and the gunplay is satisfying. Heard there’s a roguelikte mode and the end of the story too, I’m looking forward to that

Workers and fuckin Resources. Attempted to implement a commuter train on a busy section of rail, probably not making that mistake again

Been playing through Fallout: London. I have some mixed thoughts on it, I love a lot of it, but there are a few pain points, and it is overwhelmingly lib-coded. Great overall considering its a free mod, and in many ways much better than Fallout 4, but the pain points hold it back for now. Full-review maybe coming after I finish it for the first time. Worth noting that I’m a huge fan of Fallout modding in general, even played through The Frontier in its entirety for the NCR, London is a lot better in most aspects so far.

Also getting into Fear & Hunger, it’s extremely brutal but I can’t help but love how strong the atmosphere is, it’s extremely morbid and disgusting, but it’s hard to look away. I’ve heard the second game is a lot better, so mostly playing 1 to get to 2 once I beat the game a few times with different characters.

Elden Ring, i am now level 108, finally leveling Faith after getting to 40 vigor, 40 dexterity. Doing a Bloodflame samurai.

Kids are playing minecraft.

Haven’t been playing many games, but I’ve been playing Dome Keeper here and there. I’ve finished all of the challenges on normal, and a few on challenging

Feeling kind of crappy today so not sure if I’ll have the motivation to play… I stopped FF2 a few weeks back because I wasn’t feeling it… so been on a hiatus since then… I’m sure I’ll get the urge at some point to play again… but when I do, Final Fantasy II will be the game I play

I don’t know where the impulse for it came from, but I started playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom again. Had to start over since I lost my 50 or so hour savefile a year or so ago, but I installed a few mods (playing on ryujinx) that make the game run and look better and also some that streamline a lot of the more annoying parts of the game (koroks just immediately give you the seeds without having to spam through their dialogue, shrine unlocking animations are skipped, cooking is faster, etc. etc.). And man, I do actually love this game. There’s a lot of annoying things about it, a lot of areas that could be more interesting and more fleshed out, but when you get into the flow of it an all of its systems interlink it’s just an absolute joy to play. Your arsenal of abilities is just ridiculously versatile and the way you unlock more and more building blocks as you play is really rewarding. Also helps that I feel much more familiar with the controls now, like it’s much easier to get into the flow. No idea if I’ll actually finish it this time, but we’ll see.

I fired up a World of Warcraft classic server with alternate progression. And more than one viable talent tree per class. It’s nice. I probably won’t spend more than a couple weeks worth of evenings on it, but it’s nice to get that nostalgia hit.

Star Wars The mf Old Republic. Locked in on the class stories and loving it
