Hello to my fellow Americans, hope you are making the most of your long weekend. I finished my BG3 playthrough as “The Dark Urge”. I think the Urge origin character is a very fun playthrough, and enhances the story a bit because now your character is intertwined with the main villians, rather than just some guy who happened to also be on the Nautaloid. I also used this playthrough to experiment with different playstyles, and I gotta say, having 2 paladins in your party is OP. Hope everyone is having a safe weekend
Picked up Crosscode again
As I remember it, super fucking polished and smooth on Steam Deck. Gonna finish it this time! In the early hours, haven’t been gaming much this week, instead read Piranesi (loved it).
I ran into a weird issue on the steam deck where aiming gets stuck pointing northeast if you circle it around. Was so annoying I put it down until it gets fixed.
Haven’t run into that yet, using proton 7.
Piranesi was so good.
I know! I loved the inqusitiveness of the protagonist, and the mystery was really well-paced!
Tactical Breach Wizards is good. Very entertaining writing, great gameplay.
I’ve been watching Northernlion play it on stream
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis :3
Ogre makes me so fucking happy and I could play it forever. Still absolutely ecstatic that they made a smol one for GBA.
I deleted all of my games because I found them too addictive. RIP the gaming era.
Finished the Ashlands in Valheim this weekend, gotta go back and finish CrossCode
I’m not american and I always forget that yanks don’t celebrate it in May like everyone else does
Nothing because I’m too tired
Prior to this though I did some more Victoria bullshit, trying to get the “betray two allies as Italy” achievement but nobody will go to war and it’s 1910…
Also tried out Vampire Survivors coop which is exactly as batshit as you’d think. Steam Remote Play’s bitrate can NOT keep up.
I’m trying to help a partner with some maplestory quest (I’ve never played this game) and it’s going terribly
May play a little Valorant later
Final Fantasy 15 comrades dlc. It’s like monster hunter for babies. I totally understand why I’m the lone, singular player on the entire global server at all times. If it weren’t for the ffxv lore, I wouldn’t be playing it either.
Team Fortress 2, Balatro, and Super Mario Eclipse (Sunshine romhack)
Just finished Dishonored for the first time.
Got a Deadlock invite thanks to Awoo, me and my brother have both been playing it. Tbh it’s too addicting, think my brother accrued 11 hours playtime in his first two days of playing. I caught him up at like 4 AM still playing lmao. Can’t judge cause I might be doing the same if I didn’t have other things to do.
If I still had a working PC I would absolutely be addicted as hell to that game. It looks fun and right up my alley
Halo: Reach firefight and Black Ops 2 bot matches while I listen to podcasts
Made a really fun custom firefight setting that’s "lore accurate"ish that I like a lot and Black Ops 2 let’s you make the pick 10 custom class system pick 17, so you can deck out your classes with a bunch of perks and attachments.
BO2 vs bots is absolutely goated. So many fun memories of my and my brother playing Nuketown against 12 bots
Kill confirmed to 300 where kills are worth 1 and confirms are worth 2. Picking up the floaty dogtags and seeing number go up makes my brain make the good chemical
I’m working so … same as yesterday!
3/4 of the way through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Mostly in a cycle of becoming BFFs with my party members, grinding a few levels, then advancing the story for the next batch of new wild shit to do, which usually includes new buddies. Definitely hitting the part of the JRPG arc where just “hit harder” is no longer sufficient and I’m doing a lot more buff/debuff setup to keep fights manageable.
Oh interesting, 7 was very much beatable with just mashing basic attack, which was a large part of why I didn’t enjoy it.
