I finished Tape 1 of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Chill game. Named my cat Pumpkin. I’m interested in seeing where the story takes me in April.

Really like the idea of using the camcorder to record collectibles and make memoirs, though I did have an issue with some scenes I filmed not saving properly. I’d shoot something, then in a future chapter the scene in the edit menu would be replaced with a white square and the footage would be gone. Didn’t prevent me from progressing the story or unlocking any achievements, but not being able to watch some of my completed memoirs was disappointing.

No other issues.

Divinity: Original Sin

Also “a bit too long and some noticeable jank” but damn if I don’t get really into it sometimes. Had to switch to the easier difficulty after something like 25 hours of playtime because I’m not very experienced in these types of RPGs but it’s okay because there’s still some challenge there, just not enough to really actually worry.

I’m at the end of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This game is all quantity over quality in my opinion. I also think, the devs never thought if the gazillion minigames or one-off quest mechanics are fun. Just add more and more, so you can brag about how much there is to do in your game. If players enjoy themselves, it’s a nice coincidence, but never a goal. I just want this game to be over at this point. The last couple of hours just completely destroyed any remaining interest I had

Tiny Glade. This game is sooo relaxing and fun. Can not recommend enough if you just wanna play something easy, beautiful, and fun after work.

Been playing Avowed, and enjoying it a lot. It’s a really good AA rpg in the POE universe, and the worldspace is probably the prettiest I’ve seen in the past couple years. I think the last time a game really 'wow’ed me with visuals, to the point that sometimes I just stopped to appreciate the view, was TW3.

Also played some Avorion, which scraches my Eve Online itch without having to actually play that, and Mabinogi (Frieren crossover event), which was the first game my partner and I played together 15 years ago. It’s gotten so many QoL updates in that time that there’s almost no ‘grind’ anymore, and it’s so much more laid back than other MMOs, and has so much content.

Path of Exile 2

Maybe I’m just bad but it feels sooo much harder than poe1

Celeste crawling my way through 9D, room by room.

Ghostrunner 1/2 First game done normal+hard and second done normal and currently on hard 11.

Both games are quite enjoyable with only mild annoyances at the speed, fluidity and lack of combat complexity, other than that I highly recommended.

Started the Stanley parable, haven’t gotten far yet, but it’s rather interesting.

Farming simulator is life probably until actual farming season comes again…

Dug out my PSVita and found out you can still use it on the Playstation store! Down loading Metal Gear Solid VR Missions right now and I’m gonna get my Stealth on.

I just finished FFIX, which I liked a lot. I quite liked that it had themes that are usually more common in scifi than fantasy. I am however a bit disappointed with how some characters feel like the get forgotten after encountering them.

I’ve also started Trails of Cold Steel 2. I have low expectations, after the disappointment that was CS1, but the start seems OK, although I’m always bothered by how the relationship between Rean and his sister is written.

I haven’t been able to play much lately due to work, but I did manage to squeeze in some time to 100% Digseum.

I’ve loved the little genre of 'dig up buried artifacts ’ since it was a mini game back in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, so it was nice to see again.

Im stuck playing single player tarkov. I want to stop, it has even gotten stale, but I can’t.
