What are you all playing? I’ve been playing a ton of Mario world ROM hacks. I beat super nothing world. Now I’m playing some hacks by the jump team

    Diablo 4: Season 2 - Nightmare dungeons galore.

    Diablo 3: Season 30 - Season 30 started this week, so I’ve been working on leveling up my monk and completing Chapter 1 objectives.

    Alan Wake 2 - Finished the game, and now I’m debating on going thru again on The Final Draft (aka new game plus) instead of moving on to Dead Space. I heard the beginning and end were slightly different and that there were extra manuscripts and videos to be found, plus I only have two achievements left, so why not go for 100%? Besides, I loved it. Remedy has been building a universe, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. There’s nothing that I’ve played from them that I haven’t loved so far.

    🔦💥

    There is a bit towards the end where you play as Alan and you’re going through the forest and it had the original music from the first game. I didn’t think this game would make me tear up, but it did during that section. I would love to see the original Alan Wake overhauled with the new engine. It would be phenomenal.

      Diablo 4: Season 2 - Nightmare dungeons galore.

      I’ve only just started doing the dungeons, since I’ve only been playing for two weeks, but so far I’m not a big fan. It feels like there’s only a few environments, not enough monster density, and the occasional backtracking is also boring (pretty short though, to be fair).

      Diablo 3 has technically even less variety with its rifts, since it’s just kill demons until a boss spawns, but it’s just packed, and I loved blasting through tons of enemies. Although in a multiplayer session, when one player is just destroying everything at mach 2, and you’re just waddling behind them, that’s arguably worse (I played mostly solo or some friends, doing public sessions to farm bounties or materials).

      The open world events, Helltide or Blood Harvest are a bit like the D3 rifts, just not as many enemies, but still really fun. It’s a bummer that you can’t just keep doing that, if you want to keep progressing your character.

      Getting better Sigils is kind of a pain, since it’s just RNG drops. I could easily do higher tier dungeons, but have to wait for them to drop. At least you’re kinda guaranteed to get at least one Sigil on your current level I guess, so you don’t have to move down. Now that I’m writing this, I gotta check if I can craft some higher tier ones, last time I was missing some materials, maybe it’s not as bad.

        Yeah I’m not a huge fan of the Nightmare Dungeons myself; the only reason to go through them is get glyph upgrades. It seems they rotate which dungeons become Nightmare ones each season, so I’ve been slowly working on a list of which I can go through the fastest so I can focus on other stuff.
        iirc the Tree of Whispers is a guaranteed drop for sigils, but from what I’ve found they’re usually lower tiered then what I want so I end up salvaging them anyway.

          I was also dumb with getting higher level Sigils. The first option at the crafter was for some special thing, where I didn’t have all the mats back then, and the next one was 20-25 (incidentally my own tier, when I first looked), but I just didn’t scroll down. I can in fact craft up to tier 100, so at least that part doesn’t seem as bad. Skipping a bunch of these lower tiers should speed up leveling the glyphs at least a bit.
