The Elder Scrolls Online has been my go to for the weekend so far, it’s something I enjoy dropping in and out of sometimes.

Once again, I played far too much World of Warcraft Remix this week. I do have three more maxed characters now though and all achievements for the mode. I found Frost Mage to be surprisingly fun, after I totally hated it (my old main) and completely abandoned magic DPS altogether at the beginning of Shadowlands. This time I’ll definitely take it slower and will try to only play my Druid. It went so well the last two weeks.

Depending on how much I get into the new expansion, The War Within, Balance Druid and Frost Mage are definitely some I’ll consider taking a look, although my Windwalker Monk will most likely stay my main.

Then, more Diablo 4. I’m almost level 90 with my Necromancer, Minion build is still boring, but I’ll keep it at least until level 100, and I’ve checked out more endgame stuff.

I’ve been mainlining Esports Godfather, which is the surprise hit of the year for me so far. The title is nonsensical and on the surface it looks like it can’t be good, but it’s been so much fun.

It’s a MOBA-themed sort of deckbuilder/autobattler/management game - which sounds like a hot mess but plays so much better than you’d think. At least after you get over the initial information overload.

I wish the AI was a little smarter, but even with the game being a touch too easy it’s incredible how much fun it is. Loads of cards and heroes to build synergies with and rotating version rulesets keeping things fresh even within a single run.

At just €16 on Steam I’d easily recommend it to anyone with an interest in the genre, and there is even a free demo that covers the first couple hours of a run.

Yep, shadow of the erdtree :) I’ve been big on invading since Dark Souls 1 and I found that the fog catacombs are a delight to invade in.

  • Long zone with few checkpoints
  • Lots of traps
  • Elevators :D
  • Imps that do bleed so moghs great rune is decent
  • Marika’s stakes so I don’t feel toooooo bad murdering people right before they reach the boss lol.

Love those cannon imps. Such a goofy enemy, and such a good enemy for invaders. Anything that does aoe and knockback is my bff in invasions.

Fun!

I’ll probably pick it up in a few weeks. I’m having a lot of fun with BG3 right now.

Cyv_,

Oh nice! I gotta go back and play that again, they added a bunch of epilogue stuff since I ran through the first time :)

its_me_xiphos,

The epilogue is actually pretty damn good. Highly recommended.

Definitely Shadow of the Erdtree! I’ve already beaten the Dancing Lion boss. Just started playing WoW Classic again too and found a guild filled with super nice people. So that’s been fun.

Shame there isn’t an ActivityPub/Fediverse option…

There are quite a few, as listed in another comment here. I’ve been using backloggd for years now and love using it!

I used Backlogery, but Backloggd seems to be more popular nowadays. That forum discussion mentions a few others, too.

If you play retro games, then you could also look into RetroAchievements, which will track more than when you simply beat a game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for all games though.

For more modern games, you could also use Achievements to track what you beat.

As for keeping track of what games you WANT to play… it’s called buying them! Don’t buy games you don’t want to play, haha

Seriously though, you could go through your Steam library and add games you want to play to a playlist, or sell physical games you wanted to support but don’t want to play.

But for multi-platform stuff, check out the linked forum post

Find yourself a Radio Control, a Smart Lamp, a Noisemaker, and a few radio activation mods. Mod the noisemaker to look for Green signals and use it to draw zombies away (or towards caltrops/nailboard traps you placed). Throw the smart lamp and activate it with Blue to act as a renewable flare you can turn off. You can mod ONE bomb/grenade at a time with red and explode dangerous enemies around corners with precision timing. Careful not to press red by accident though, it’s the default button when you activate the radio controls.

Speaking of nailboards/caltrops, those are my favorite weapon against unarmored zombies; they do not have any sense of self preservation, so they’ll just stomp the caltrops until they bleed out if they’re in a good spot or have an active noisemaker on them.

You can use permanent markers and pocket settings to make your inventory cleaner. I have an IFAK pouch attached to my backpack that I put a first aid kit in, which I can Open and Close to reduce menu clutter. Inside the first aid kit are ziploc baggies that whitelist one item each, all with maximum priority so that I can easily top off supplies between runs.

Molle storage is the best, be sure to remove all pockets from any zombo soldiers you defeat to grab specialized pockets for your gear.

Knossos,

I like to think of myself as a very experienced CDDA player, and there’s a lot of good tips in here. A lot I had no idea about. Thank you 😊

Make or find yourself a cart to drag around (g or G to drag it). It it doesn’t have wheels it’ll be quite loud. Sound = attraction = death in most cases.

Don’t bother with cars for a long while, even one that actually runs. They take a lot to maintain and cause a lot of noise (see above). You’re better off starting with a bike for midrange transportation (or if using mods a foldable bike).

When you start building or find a nice base area, make a crafting nook and drop all your items nearby to it. When crafting you can pull ingredients from 1-2 tiles adjacent.

Commenting so I can come back to this later with the site, I can’t recall the name at the moment

Alrighty, it looks like the list has grown and I can’t remember what site I had used previously, so here are a couple options. It looks like they all roughly have the same format of: create account, fill out games from database, possibly account and app linking options.

In no particular order:

How long to beat: create an account, has a games library for your profile

Keep track of my games: create an account, “pay what you want”-ware (free), can import gaming accounts (Steam PSN etc) to fill out list.

Backloggd: Create an account, can fill out games to your library and has space for reviews and other user profiles

Grouvee: Create an accout - homepage is pretty minimal

Gametracker: Seems more “game team” oriented but it has a spot for filling out a games library

GameTrack: Has an IOS app as well, can link gaming accounts for achievements, can make lists to sort games

Playtracker: Create an account, looks like there is a software download for the computer

Stash: Has both Android and IOS apps,

Of all of these, the feature sets look basically the same, the main differences seem to be UI layouts and more niche options of sorting/filling out. All of them look to need an account (expected). Since I can’t recall which, if any of these, I had used in the past I will just say that the websites for Playtracker, Backloggd, and How Long To Beat looked the “best”.

Hopefully this helped and didn’t just give you more choice anxiety, lol.

Drive it like you stole it. You’re gonna do poorly for a long time until you get your head wrapped around it, so just be curious and see if that thing DOES kill you. Then you know to avoid it. There are some good tutorials on YT that can help. Might be a bit dated, but should get you a decent start. Good luck!

If you say what cdda is maybe we can.
