I just picked up Sea of Stars earlier today - i’m about a hour in and enjoying myself so far, no complaints. Otherwise, I picked up Pokemon Go in the past week & i’m really enjoying it. It turns out that a lot of my friends are still playing, and the Pokemon Go Plus+ I use for sleep tracking also gets bonuses in Pokemon Sleep if you use it for Go. Now i’m playing both!
I’ve been talking to anyone who would listen about Your Spider. This is possibly my all time favorite indie horror game, and the fact that it only has three reviews feels like an injustice to me.
Alone I’m playing Motorsport Manager. And old game and nothing like football manager that I played a lot in the past. It’s not great, it’s basic and I know I will only do a couple of seasons but it has been keeping me up at night and going to bed late so that counts as something. I’m definitely having fun and it’s a chill game.
A couple of months ago I was playing RDR2 but I stopped about halfway and haven’t gone back to it. The game is ridiculously good looking and the world is great but honestly the gameplay is such a slog. Most quests are basic af. I wonder how it got this much praise tbh
I was playing BG3, but I randomly jumped into X-Plane 12 and now have the flight sim bug. Once you learn how to do things it’s quite relaxing just picking some random locations and doing some flights in a nice plane model.
That’s one of the few HD2D that looks good to me. In my opinion, Octopath is way too dark, sepia toned, and saturated. It’s not a very pretty game in my eyes. In Star Ocean and Live A Live, the characters don’t look like they fit in the world; the difference between the 3D environments and the pixel characters is too stark. But I’m quite interested in DQ3.
I’m still playing Project Zomboid at the moment, it’s very intriguing when you make the zombie slower and more fragile, but double their population. 1v10 is doable this way, but a missed swing still mean death lol.
I did 2 survival runs in the last year, both near Rosewood, I had never been and it was nice to have a change of scenery. Can’t wait for the next big update, I’ll be back for another run for sure! We used these settings on our dedicated server:
1200% reading speed
250% XP
Higher Weapon spawn
Lower Generator fuel consumption
Cars have a higher change to have a little gas in them
Rosewood is nice, there’s a very easily defensible place i can hole up, a bit out of the town center so it doesn’t have high concentration of zombies, and near a police and fire station so weapon(fire axe, gun) is easy to come by.
Though the helicopter event will make you get trapped inside a place you can’t escape lol.
I’ve been giving Blood a go, I missed out on a lot of shooters back in the day so when I play them now you can see how many modern games were inspiresd by these old giants, it’s also really obvious why people love this game and have used it for inspiration
Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm: DDA generate some crazy plotlines, full of narrative, twists, and character development. How come no writer has converted a character’s story into a novel, yet?
The Zelda timeline is an interesting example of emergent narrative, at least until recently. Before the Hyrule Historia, fans could see underlying clues of a general history of Hyrule and an order in which the games take place, but developers themselves wouldn’t confirm the existence of a definitive timeline. Even so, the fans speculated endlessly about where the games fit in - were all games canon or only some, was there a split or a unified timeline, and were these the same Link, Zelda and Ganondorf or were they continually reincarnated? Finally the Hyrule Historia gave a confirmed canon timeline with not one but two splits, all games canon, and with confirmation of several reincarnations of at least Link and Zelda. Considering how resistant to doing something like this Nintendo and the Zelda team were at first, I’d pretty well guarantee that the release was in response to the emergent narrative that developed and not something they had initially planned from the outset of the series, especially not before Ocarina of Time.
I’m playing through Dragon Quest 11 when I have time! I’m really enjoying the characters and the art! The story is… Okay. Nothing to write home about. The music was good, but then after having it repeat over and over and over and over it has kind of started making me grit my teeth. I also kind of wish the game was a little shorter? It feels extremely long, but I think that’s a side-effect of me hearing the same songs over and over and the plot not really clicking with me as well as some other stories have.
Critiques aside, I really love Sylvando; I think he’s the best character I’ve seen in a long time! So flamboyant, yet so caring and complex. And the art is really pretty and pleasant to look at at times.
I’m still gonna stick it out to the end, because I feel like I’m close to the end now anyway and maybe it’ll leave on a really high note :)
