Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was on a beach vacation so I did no gaming this week besides emulated pokemon on my phone before bed.

    Still working on Minish Cap. I’m stuck between the second and third dungeon doing all the in between stuff. I just got my Pegasus Boots. I haven’t had a chance these last few days to play it because I guess I decided last week to finish 3 books instead of play my handheld emulator. 🙃

    FINALLY finishing off my first full playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3. I had to rebuild my PC earlier in the spring due to overheating and case fitment issues, and basically had all of the parts sitting in storage since January up until the end of March, just because I still needed it to be usable for remote work. (Plus I was kind of hooked on Vampire Survivors at the time anyway.)

    I ended up abandoning my saves from back in October/November because I couldn’t remember WTF I was doing story- and quest-wise, so I started over with this hilariously broken “stealth archer” build that YouTube pushed at me. Cruised through Act I, annihilated everything in Act II, and now I’m doing side quest cleanup before I take on the last three main story bosses. Those Gondians aren’t dying on my watch, damn it!

    Been working my way through Yakuza Kiwami 1. Did Yakuza 0 on-and-off for years before finally clearing it, and I think I like having the single protagonist focus in this one better.

    Yes, I know 4 has four protagonists and I’m not looking forward to it. Not sure if I’ll still like these when I get to the new-new ones the that are all 120+ hour monsters, either. I’ll probably give up and play the new Shenmue by then shrug-outta-hecks

      Oh hell yeah. Very controversial pick but Y: Kiwami has always been my favorite entry of the series, though I have always had a strong bias towards whatever was the “first” game i played in any series

    the mod save our ship 2 recently updated for rimworld. it’s basically an entire game on top of rimworld. it has a really satisfying game loop that’s basically “fight enemy ships of slowly increasing difficulty, pacify and disassemble or weld them to your ship, upgrade and research, repeat”. eventually you will either have a cobbled together mesh of useful chunks of spacecraft or your own sleek battlecruiser.

    and you can just start in space and avoid the whole “start a colony on the surface and eventually build a ship”. i mod the game so i start out as a spacer-tech faction with custom biopunk crew

    i have no idea why it’s so compelling. rimworld itself is seeming increasingly more limited compared to dwarf fortress but this mod is a game changer (ha)

    i’m basically building the Defiant right now

    I’ve been playing Pillars of Eternity. Still early going, so I don’t have a feel for the overarching plot just yet, but I’m enjoying learning about the world and finding new party members.

  • My partner and I have still been playing lots of WoW, we found a guild of queer communists to join so we’ve been playing through the Legion area to level new characters. Before that we did the Pandaria Remix and I leveled a paladin for the first time which is super fun

    Also playing Another Crab’s Treasure (Crab Souls) which is adorable but also the planet is dying. Explicitly anti-capitalist game which I didn’t know going into it I was just looking for Crab Souls

    Emulated Pokémon on my phone, Volt White 2 a romhack

    Started playing Catherine: Full Body with my friend on Saturday. Trying to beat all the time trial ghosts in the Mario Kart 8 DX DLC tracks. After that I wanna’ start playing all the Final Fantasy 15 stuff, I think. I’d like a big-ass game to take my mind off stuff.
