If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.
Yakuza 0. Sorry, emotional and compelling main story, you’re gonna have to wait. I need to make Majima’s hostess club the top in Sotenbori.
I just almost finished yakuza 0 yesterday, got stuck on the last fight, so will play some sleeping dogs in the meantime until I g3met the will to retry the fight for the 70th times ( I’m playing on the hard difficulty )
I’m on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I’m using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.
I remember playing Diablo back in the 90s at my friends PC. I chose warrior as I always do in RPGs. The game was fun, atmospheric as f*ck, but then I hit those lava maze levels with shooters everywhere. It was terrible, because rhey kept shooting and running with no chance to get to them and kill 'em. So I ditched the game for good. I’ll always remember it as the most atmospheric and dark game of that era and still have great memories of it.
Started Assassins Creed Black Flag. The on-foot gameplay is nearly identical to 3 and the lack of a crouch anywhere but “concealing” areas like grass turns me off. Don’t forget the little quirks every early Assassins Creed has regarding traversal. You wanted to jump over the fence? Best I can do is climb it and run along it till I jump in a bush to the right.
However, the surprisingly deep naval combat keeps me coming back.
I’ve been replaying Subnautica. It feels like a completely different game the second time around, but still fun. Plus they’ve got it running much better now than it was on launch.
It’s not actually a game, but I spent the weekend migrating a bunch of my Minecraft servers to Docker from standalone boxes. Went surprisingly well.
Now I just need to switch from Infrared to BungeeCord+Geyser.
Containerization really is cool. The problem is that once you start you will get increasingly angry about all the game servers that just will not run that way, like Conan Exiles and Astroneer.
I’ve been playing Minecraft for the first time.
Yup.
Idk why I hadn’t, probably just the timing with my life when it came out I guess.
I’m a big fan of legos so that’s not too far.
I’m playing it vaguely like Deep Rock Galactic, although even a diamond sword pales compared to a minigun or flamer.Ohhhh, you are going to have a lot of great time. My favourite thing is building something in Survival mode. Anything looks better after you’ve put so much effort into creating it
If you are playing the Java edition of Minecraft there may be a mod that adds what you are looking for.
I’ve just finished Inscryption and it was one of the best gaming experiences i’ve ever had. On the surface it seems like a simple card game but it’s so much more than that! This game is so wild and creative it’s insane. Strongly recommend you play it, don’t look anything up about it.
I bought it along with some other Daniel Mullins games for about 5 bucks total on sale. I almost feel bad cause it’s certainly worth more than that, lol.
I wanted to play a souls like but was bored of all the actual Fromsoft games (I’ve played them a fucking lot) so I started up Remnant: From the Ashes to give it another shot. I got passed 2 bosses a few years ago when I was given the game, but didn’t get into it at all.
I’m reading more of the text this time and the story is kinda cool. Very Stargatey. The style is kinda weird for weirdness’ sake though, and the RNG is fucking annoying (I keep getting super unlucky and having event swarm after event swarm and then I don’t even get any good loot!). The bosses are hella bullshit difficulty. Like knowing the patterns isn’t really helpful since the main boss doesn’t really do much, but so far all of them have spawned swarms of small, fast moving enemies that do more damage than the giant monster does when it hits you with a big-ass brick.
I kinda want to see if the second one is better. I would imagine it has to be to have gotten somewhat popular. I hadn’t heard of the first until it was gifted to me; but the second one was all over the net when it first dropped.
That isn’t to say it’s a bad game. It’s one of those things that has the right ideas, but the implementation is just not very well done.
Edit: God damn. I just finished it. When I made this comment, I thought I was only half way through. That was short as shit. I got… 12 hours on this character. My God. I wasn’t even rushing! I was checking every single nook and cranny and exterminating every enemy before leaving a zone.
Lost Odyssey, a bit under 20 hours in. There are elements of it that are driving me nuts, but there’s a lot I really like. I wish I’d played this 15 years ago.
No one lives forever can be downloaded free online. The Wikipedia says the devs shared the source code at some point and it’s in copyright hell so pretty much only way to get it. Was pretty fun, playing on the hardest difficult was kind of annoying though. Last boss fight was ridiculous. On to f.e.a.r.!
Currently playing Halo 2 in MCC as well as Yakuza 0. Just started Divinity Original Sin 2 with the wife. Arkham City is next on deck.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Everyone seems to love this game but I’m still on the fence about it. I feel like I’m spending so much time hunting to not be underweight that I’m not really playing the game. The controls are weird to me and I’m not sure why.
Went back to playing Civ 5 and Civ 6 recently with friends, and even though Civ 5 is much older, we seem to enjoy it way more due to it being more simple. Civilization traits are way more easy to understand, AI feels better and more threatening and games are faster.
Biggest problem I had with Civ 6 was the AI. Felt like I’d win games by no later than the Renaissance, which is a shame because the increased transparency with how AI leaders reacted/will react to you was probably the best change.
I also loved the social policy system. Laughed when I saw them add it to Stellaris.
Played Super Mario Bros 2 for the first time since I’ve been an adult.
I was watching the Awesome Games Done Quick marathon and remembered I loved that game as a kid. Might do Sunshine again next.
Mario 2 is kind of a trip.
It’s weird and funky, love it.
I’ve had great fun replaying oldies
