    Dark Souls 3. Well I say Dark Souls 3. Reality is its Sister Friede. Over and over and over again. Stage 3 is easy to get to. But she kicks my ass in stage 3.

    My friends have been getting back into Monster Hunter World recently, so I decided to pick it up as well. I stopped in High Rank when I first played it, and hit Master Rank over the weekend. I’m looking forward to smacking bigger monsters with bagpipes.

    Shining Force II for the Sega Genesis! I’m not very far into it yet, but it’s a good old classic JRPG.

      I’m still playing PalWorld, but Cassette Beasts is on my short list now by that same logic.

    after the wife and I put ~350hrs into BG3, we were hungering for more. We went back and played Divinity Original Sin 1/2. 1 was tough to play by modern standards but 2 definitely holds up. There seem to be a few easter eggs here and there but I don’t see any reason you’d have to play 1 to understand 2. The combat and skill system is a little different but still very intuitive once you get the hang of it and is definitely a solid recommend for anyone who wants more baulder’s gate but has already done every playthrough under the sun.

      Yeah, I think D:OS2 is still a good call for people wanting more. Trying to talk my gaming partner into picking it up.

      I think the first D:OS is too much of a quality-of-life nightmare at this point to recommend.

      I’m soooo thankful BG3 went with the skill wheel rather than the skill bars like in DoS 1/2. The bars were a pain to try to keep organized (at least on console or playing with a controller), and I’d always forget to use skills that were on bars 3 or higher.

        I guess I should have specified PC, the interfaces on PC are very similar and most of the hotkeys are the same across all 3 games which is a big plus

          Ah ok I’ve only really played on Xbox, since that’s where my CRPG buddy is. Still trying to convince him to build a gaming PC. Or at least get a steam deck haha

      I’m actively trying not to start up my 4th run. I beat it three times back to back. And I have a multiplayer game going. I also have a slew of partially started games. But I have to give it a break because there’s a point where it’s a hobby and there’s a point where it’s an addiction for me

    I was a teenage exocolonist. I hadn’t even heard of it, but it’s one of the best games I’ve played in the last 5 years.

    Kind of a visual novel, card puzzler, and social sim. Like if persona had poker instead of turn based battles.

    I finished up Guardians of the Galaxy this past weekend, which I enjoyed. Nothing world shattering but a solid title. I’m on a sports game kick right now, so I decided to start a franchise in Madden 23. I would have gone with 24, but it doesn’t seem to work on Linux.

    Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

    It’s like the only phone game that’s got integrity, can be put down at a moment’s notice, doesn’t rely on good controls, and is good.

    Galactic Civilizations III. I’m about 10 turns away from filling up the Ascension Crystals with a custom civilization focused on research.
    The research tree seems endless with many 1-turn tech still left to unlock and I have no idea what to focus on in order to build the Ascension Portal/Gate thing.
    But I unlocked the Huge design for ships, so I’m going to try and make one before the time is up.

    I spent around 8 hours total on this match, most of it Sunday. I’ll probably finish it tomorrow if I have time to play.

    Caught up on all the Vampire Survivors content that got released since I last played, now I’m finishing up GRID (2019) and Spiral Knights, with a race or two of Mario Kart.
