Playing a bunch of Crusader Kings 3 and Civ V. Have half a mind to learn EU4 right as (relatively) EU5 is coming out for some reason. Also played some Lost Eidolons which is kinda fun, the between combat stuff isn’t very fun however.
This past weekend Steam had a Darkest Dungeon 2 free weekend and I finally realised that those games weren’t roguelite deckbuilders (ohhh i hate those so much). So I finally tried them and they are…fine. The “I’m so edgy and dark” aesthetic gets stale really quickly, as does the slightly-but-deliberately-obtuse UX that appears in games that are supposed to be “difficult and unforgiving”.
A lot of Linux ports are not the best quality to begin with, or even if they were good once, they’re out of date, utilising old fashioned technology that may not be the best at taking advantage of modern hardware. Conversely the windows version was often better built to begin with, and the translation layers have had a huge amount of effort put into them to make them as performant as possible and utilise as much of the hardwares capacity as they can, so much so that sometimes the proton version of windows games running on Linux is actually more performant than the windows native version on running on windows!
Minecraft: Super chill sandbox building game, but when you are lost 150 blocks deep in the mines, just found your first diamonds in the dark after you ran out of torches and you hear that hissing sound just behind you…
Been playing this with my kid, going for all 120 stars. I played it when it came out and it’s been a blast to dust it off after a long time on the shelf. Going to get the sequel from my local used game store after we 100% it.
rabbits party of legends (only good the first time, so make it count!)
mario kart double dash
bud Spencer & Terrence hill slaps and beans
a Pokémon nutzlocke soullock challange
playing any game where one has the right and the other one the left joy con (fun if 5 people and 2 are gaming pros and they are forced to share one controller)
Anyway, here’s a second for Soullock challenge. Can be very hilarious. Have to add Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga and Lego Harry Potter, awesome couch co-op.
magicka 1 and 2 has couch and/or online coop, it’s challenging, chaotic fun, with some pretty funny jokes
if you get into emulation, cooptimus hides older platforms under “classic”, but it has another dropdown to filter them more precisely
I always bring up Crawl in these threads because it’s so good, and I rarely ever see anyone talking about it! The way that players are always ‘switching teams’ is so fun!
