Whatcha been playing!
I finished the little metroidvania crypt custodian which was super fun! Highly recommend. Also been playing a lot of the super Mario Sunshine mod that came out “Super Mario Eclipse.” Adds lots of qol stuff to the game and fun new movement, on top of 120 new shines it’s really fun!
But most of all I have been playing tf out of Astro Bot. Holy shit this is one of my new all time favorites. This game is so insanely good. Absolutely in love with it
Now that I’ve discovered emulators are now allowed on iOS, I’m playing through the original PS version of Chrono Cross.
The ability to use save states and jump back into a session within seconds is HUGE for me. No vendor logos, no waiting for save points. Just instant save and recall.
Wrapping up Lies of P. Really fun soulslike. Picked up Avatar again now.
Playing Technobabylon on Deck. Been in my library for ages and I should have played it sooner. Great point-and-click.
Just finishing up Episode 4 of the Quake remaster on nightmare difficulty. Episodes 1-3 were challenging, but my god these exploding bouncy ball “spawns” in E4 are such rage fuel.
Only 3 more levels then I move on to the expansions. First time playing those, so looking forward to it!
Been replaying Detroit: Become Human. The first time i tired playing years ago on Windows it would crash all the time. Now that I’m on Linux it runs great. I just beat the game amd have to say that it is an absolute masterpiece. So many options to choose from but at least from what I choose the story held together flawlessly.
So it turns out Sea of Thieves is super fun when you join lobbies? I got bullied in solo for like 5 hours before trying it out 😆 Yesterday I adventured with a mute that only used preset text messages for two hours, I can finally buy a hat!
I started Planet Crafter and I’m hooked. It’s a low budget yet brilliant Subnautica like game with a higher emphasis on crafting.
I’ve been playing Tyranny as well. It’s a nice CRPG with factions in a bleak setting. A little obtuse with the consequences of dialog options. Still refreshing. I really could use the tank character in my party composition, but he’s such an insufferable square I’d rather not use him.
Tyranny was so much fun when it came out. I played the blue/shield side and I do agree at times he was too rigid for my taste.
I sided with the rebels and Barik became this massive frustrated Northerner supremacist, despising Tiersmen every chance he had and urging me to let the Disfavored civilize them. Fuck that.
Multiple burned PS1 and PS2 games on a recently modded PS2 MechaPwn console. I just discovered this was a thing and I love it
Katamari Damacy, Def Jam 2, Second Sight, Oni, Armored Core, Hulk Ultimate Destruction etc
Been playing a lot ofDeadlock still, finally getting a grasp of how to play it feels like. Took a while to understand priorities and what to focus on and how to execute builds. Still held back a bit by my aim, but found enough ability-based heroes to still be able to perform. It’s a very fun game! I can’t play too many games in a row because it gets intense and stressful, but I’m really enjoying it.
I’ve also been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the first time as something more relaxing and story based. It’s been alright so far. Don’t think it’s been hitting the heights of the original Deus Ex so far, but it’s enjoyable enough.
I have 100% completed all the season objectives for Diablo 4: Season 5, so I’m setting aside my Necromancer and rebuilding my Sorcerer, just for fun. I thought about rebuilding my Barbarian as well, but after I heard about all the crazy changes coming to season 6 with character progression, I think I’ll hold off for now.
I finally completed Alien: Isolation on PC with 100% achievements! I’m just gonna… ignore the other achievements that I have left on other platforms, lol. For now.
A re-re-released version of Doom is on GamePass since Legacy of Rust was released last month, so I’ve been hopping on every now and then to blast my way through demons.
A little bit of The Binding of Isaac, and Gran Turismo 5.
A lot of Elden Ring (I’m late to the party).
Started playing Star Trucker - it’s pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of the cargo hauling loop in Star Citizen. The differece is that this doesn’t crash anywhere near as much, runs on my Steam Deck, and boots a lot quicker too.
Bit by bit playing HellBlade 2. The game is amazing however, the story and atmosphere is so strong (for a lack of better word) that I need downtime after playing it for an hour. It’s so dark and these voices gets to your own head sometimes, especially when playing with headset.
Recently started Warhammer Space Marine 2. A fun hack ‘n slash to just play after study, work or just general a long day.
Debating to purchase Persona 3 Reload when it is on sale. I played and loved Persona 5 Royal, clocked in 124-125 hours into it. I heard mixed stories about Reload, great character but lackluster dungeons and less social elements.
