I’m dealing with a thumb injury, so I can only play games that don’t require a gamepad, so I’ve been playing a lot of Vampire Survivors. I’ve unlocked almost everything, now, and the game’s become really easy with a zillion gold eggs upgrading everything and the ability to lock out all the “bad” weapons, so I was looking for something new to play.

I just started Spelunky again, but this time with keyboard controls on the home row only. It’s a bit of a mind bender and I’m constantly hitting the wrong keys, but I’m slowly getting it. I think this might be really good for me, in the long term; controlling games with HR only will greatly reduce fatigue and risk of RSIs.

Diablo 4 - I finally finished out Season 1 early last week and have been taking a break before Season 2. I technically have two objectives left, but there's no way I was getting to level 100 before the 17th. I'm hoping the new patch for Season 2 fixes that. TBH the only reason I got the last task for all the rewards is because I was invited to a random party to run Nightmare Dungeons. I felt so bad because they were leveled way higher than I was, so I kept dying, but they didn't kick me, and I'm grateful for that. I feel like I'm the only one, but I can't wait to see what they do for Season Two.

Metro: Last Light - I fucking forgot about the catacombs and how much I hate going through them. Fuck Nosalises. Fuck Big Momma. There's always that one level in a great game that absolutely sucks, and that is the catacombs level for me in Last Light. Even though I did do better that I thought I would, I still hate that level. But I got my Kalash 2012 like I wanted, so whatever lol. Also I love Anna. I've always loved Anna, but I fall in love again everytime I play this game. Just like Artyom, I guess. Still haven't finished the game though, since I haven't had a bunch of time to myself over this weekend, but I'm hoping I'll finish up in the next two or three days.

Considering I’m guaranteed to eventually get viciously eaten by a horde of zombies with no hope of survival, I think I’ll just end it myself.

Sylvartas,

Project zomboid ?

Nelots,

Now that I think about it, my answer easily could have been any number of zombie games I play, but in this case it was indeed Project Zomboid.

Sylvartas,

Could have been DayZ too but imo, only zomboid truly delivers on that sentiment of struggling to survive in a zombie apocalypse.

DayZ kinda does too but on most servers it feels like it’s mostly about surviving societal collapse in a region where guns and ammo are way more abundant than other resources and survivors have very few reasons to trust each other

Nelots,

Yeah, something about PZ just really strikes that hopeless feeling that other zombie games I’ve played haven’t been able to do.

Digimon cyber sleuth. I guess it really depends in what position I would be in in the world but overall it seems like a jackpot. I get to capture and battle with digimons and there’s an actual virtual reality world to travel to. Sweet.

Hitman: World of Assassination. Currently at the Hokkaido mission, it can be quite challenging! Had a hard time beating the Colorado mission on the easiest difficulty

I am struck by an overwhelming urge to make paperclips.

I thought I'd have put the game down by now, but I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm now deep into Act 2 on my second playthrough with the Ghost Recon team. Currently everyone (Astarion, Lae'zel, one hireling, and myself) are level 5 fighter battle masters/level 3 rogue assassins. Since just hitting level 5 fighter, everyone now has access to an Extra Attack, and you can combine that with Sneak Attack, Action Surge, Trip Attack, and Precise Attack to wipe out entire encounters in one or two turns. So far, the only difficulties with this team came at the end of Act 1 (since I was low level in two classes instead of high level in one of them) and at a particular Act 2 quest where you have to defend a portal against dozens of enemies (I just didn't have enough crowd control for that many enemies, so I broke out Gale for that fight). Other than that, I'm basically only swapping out my hireling for character-related quests, like the one I'm doing right now for Shadowheart. At level 12, I should be level 6 fighter/level 6 rogue with everyone in the squad, and we'll storm through Baldur's Gate.

Other than that, I started playing some fighting games again, and I'm not as rusty as I thought. The usual suspects of Skullgirls, Guilty Gear Strive, and Street Fighter 6. I'd probably be playing more Mortal Kombat 1 if not for performance issues and the inability to decline matches against wi-fi players; it's a shame, because the game is otherwise pretty great.

I haven't made much progress in the System Shock remake, but I am really enjoying it. I discovered the Resident Evil remake pretty late, and it's a shame how few of those games there were for so many years, by which I mean that style of RE game, not games with the words "Resident Evil" in the title. Still, we seem to have plenty of them these days, which is great to see. System Shock was 94, and Resident Evil was 96. I'd be surprised to learn that RE was inspired by System Shock, but perhaps both of them took similar inspiration from Alone in the Dark. Hopefully that remake early next year is good too.

I’m so glad I decided not to play Alien Isolation tonight.

Dragon's Crown on the Vita. Awesome Diablo meets Golden Axe sort of game. Really wish this one would make its way off Playstation so everyone could experience it.

That really depends.

Crash land near/in the main colony? Eh. I’d be thrown into prison to be beaten or put into Boris’ chair until I was compliant, but after, there’s a chance at a decent life with only some risk of death. At worst, they might decide I’m worth tossing in a Warcasket and joining the Dead watching the walls.

Outside of them? Ehh. Might be able to throw in with a tribe and keep my head down until we’re all slaughtered in a raid. Some of the Empires seem somewhat friendly, could try to offer services cleaning and hauling for a bed in a servant barracks. Completely fucked if I’m caught out by Raiders, Pirates, Insectoids, or Mechanoids.

Depending on where in the game I end up: realize I’m basically already dead, shotgun a bottle of bleach and die, or try to survive for a while, get bitten, drink bleach and die. Or just get eaten alive, or get food poisoning, or a cold, and die.

My question here is: Are you still human, a car or an egg person? 🤔
