Hey y’all!
What are you playing? I finally starting playing Alan Wake 2 and wow I absolutely love it. I think Remedy are the most interesting devs in the AAA space and I am all on board for their connected universe! Also more binding of isaac :p
This week I have discovered the joys of Slime Rancher. There is something about an adorable slime with a face bouncing past me going “whee!” that makes life worth living. They’re just so happy. Except when they’re scared of something. I don’t like it when they’re scared, and this must be prevented at all costs.
More RDR2 this week, still haven’t finished Chapter 2 as there is just an unbelievable amount of stuff to be distracted by. Apart from further fiddling with some mods I’ve just been enjoying my time hunting and fishing and completing challenges, events and side missions.
I might need to lay off the pursuit of the challenges as they seem extremely grindy and I don’t want to burn out before I finish the story, but so far it’s not started to wear me down and I’ve been enjoying just playing poker with the boys and whatnot.
Slay the Princess, it is a pretty awesome game and Lies of P which just got cracked,I pirated it out of spite cause I felt betrayed when they added denuvo just before release (I don’t buy denuvo games)
@chloyster I’ve been playing Last Epoch… far too much… definitely, absolutely too much of Last Epoch - please send help! 😆
Recently finished my very first play through of all 3 Mass Effect (Legendary Edition) games. Started Mass Effect: Andromeda, but for some reason it triggers horrible motion sickness after 30 minutes of playing. As in, “I need to have a barf bucket nearly, and then lie down for the rest of the day” kind of bad.
first skyrim run in like a decade, really makes it obvious how technically shitty the game is. so many immersion-ruining moments all the time, like people talking over each other. also the world map screen might be the most ugly and least useful of its kind. if i was on pc i’d install the mod that displays roads on the map.
but the atmosphere is nice :)
Jumped into the newest patch and expedition of No Man’s Sky. Always good fun but after finishing the tasks of the expedition I always get bored very quickly. :D
In Baldur’s Gate 3 I’m stuck in a fight against a boss in act 3, always getting absolutely smashed even though I’m highest level and have (I think) decent equipment and spells. Haven’t found any guide that explains a way to deal with the fight in the intended way, everyone just says to cheese the fight which I’d like to honestly avoid. :/
Do you have any more info to provide for that fight without spoilers for others so that I can point you in the right direction? What’s the issue you’re running into in that fight?
I’ll put it behind spoiler tags:
BG3 Act 3 spoilers
It’s the fight against Cazador. I can prevent him from doing anything by using Counterspell pretty easily, but I get swarmed by his minions and I do not have enough damage to kill him in the 3 turn limit anyway so he ascends.
Do you have much crowd control in your party? Can you disable either him or his minions? Pay attention to what he is vulnerable to and what makes him vulnerable when he goes into that other state. Remember that you can inspect any enemy and see their buffs and what type of enemy they are. Perhaps you have special arrows strong against that type. Perhaps you have some spells that do a type of damage that works well against him.

Finally beat it today after figuring out that one can stop the ritual by pulling Astarion out of his spot with the “Help” action…
Congrats! Yeah, lots of tricky fights in that game are solvable by just observing statuses and such. The game exposes almost 100% of its information.
Tetris for GB. Kirby’s dreamland 1 got GB
Main problem and tying preventing pokemon is my emuaktor not supporting any form of savinf
I decided to just randomly try Overwatch again.
So many changes since I last played.
It really does seem like they’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Zero direction. Benefit of that? Pure chaos. As a Junk main (when I DPS, which isn’t as often as it used to be), the lack of direction and wildly inconsistent game design speaks to me on an emotional level.
As usual, it’s more enjoyable when you don’t take it even remotely seriously and just fuck around. Turns out you can ironically accomplish more when you’re not putting yourself and/or everyone else under pressure. Gives you incentive to experiment and pull off some weirdly effective shit that usually only works once, but still feels great anyway.
Win? Laugh. Lose? Laugh. It’s not that serious.
I’ll get sick of it soon and the toxicity will rear its head at some point, but right now I’m enjoying it for what it is, even if the game is an absolute shell of what it used to be.
Edit: Lol, already got sick of it again, so ditching that now.
Still grinding away at Legend of Zelda for NES. First few dungeons lulled me into a false sense of security, because, damn, some of the later ones have hands.
