Minecraft Dungeons and Mariokart 8 Deluxe. I was just playing the latter with my mom, and ordered the steering wheel joycon attachments for it which will arrive tomorrow. (Perhaps I could also connect a joycon to my computer and use the Switch wheel to play BeamNG.)
Today I also got a copy of No Mans Sky (basically Space Minecraft) for my switch because I feel it’s better experienced with a hybrid console than with a keyboard and mouse.
Diablo 4. Honestly not bad, I kind of get some of the hate, but it’s super early days and as long Blizzard doesn’t turn it into mtx hell, it could go the Eternal Collection route in a few years.
Starfield. Kinda. It’s not sucking me in like literally every other Bethesda RPG has. I find myself playing for only like 1-2 hours at a time, and having fun while doing so but also just kinda not sure what I really want to do, because everything I know I want to try is locked behind some high tier skills, so I’m just trying to level up to do that shit and often just wander aimlessly looking for a quest that is more than just under a minute of my time to complete. I’ve done 3 semi-major quest lines so far (UC Vanguard, Freestar Rangers, and Ryujin) and they were pretty short for faction quests.
mass effect legendary edition, I was postponing playing it for quite a wile, but Skyrim became to repetitive on last run. Blacktail, new in library kinda accidental find
Finished up Banjo Kazooie last night. Always good for a quick playthrough. Still BG3 with my wife as time allows. Not quite sure what solo game to pick up next.
I also just got a Switch OLED, which will arrive by mail in a few days (delayed due to almost being sold out). I’ve also gotten cartridges of Breath of the Wild and Minecraft Dungeons for it so I’m excited.
Salt 2 is a pretty good indie pirate game. You sail around a procedurally generated archipelago doing quests for various factions while building up your ship, and it’s pretty relaxing. It’s still in development so it’s missing features like ship to ship combat, but it’s the closest thing to a single player sea of thieves
This came up in convo with a co-worker recently. I had completely forgotten about it until he mentioned it and then, suddenly, a flood of memories came rushing back.
I remember it being a thing I didn’t use. It was like a voice chat/messenger thing with a built in game browser like GameSpy, right? I used TeamSpeak and some other tool mostly over xFire. I didn’t know anyone else who used xFire so it was kinda useless to me. A lot of communication apps in the late 90’s/early-mid 2000’s had that unfortunate downfall for me. No point in using something nobody I would talk to uses 🤷🏻♂️
I remember i had an account with my real name on it. I lost the password so my name was forever associated with an Xfire account i created as an edgy 14 year old. I msged support and they were like the most stereotypical americans ever lol “We cant verify if that ID is valid bc you arent from the USA but we will delete it as a curtesy”
Thank god for the GPDR, this interaction would go a bit different today lol
