I'm gonna start a weekly Sunday evening thread where we all talk about what we've been playing the past week.

I have been doing a replay of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. It's one of my favorite games and I was surprised how much muscle memory Ive retained for most of the major boss fights.

    Humble had a bundle of boomer shooters and idk why but I tried super hard all week to not buy it until I caved on Friday.

    So first up is Prodeus. Prodeus is a game that teenage me would have adored. It's what I feel like Doom 3 should have been. It's like one of the Doom wad mods like Brutal Doom cranked up to 11. It doesn't throw any movement tech at you like modern games so you can focus on the dumb "mowing down hordes of enemies" with your over the top guns and over the top gore/gib animations. Everything explodes. Blood and guts go flying and paints the floors, walls, and ceilings with red. It even has blood squish sound effects when mobs blow up. I will say it does get a bit monotinous after a while. I was hoping I was on the last level but just checked and I have 7 more to go.

    I also wanna check out Turbo Overkill after. TO is sort of like if you take modern movement shooters with slide and jump tech and plop it into a retro shooter. But also when you slide, your legs turn into chainsaws. Idk, it's fast, crazy fun. It's dumb and I have enjoyed what I've played so far.

    Ultrakill is finally in my library too. I played a bit and like it so far. Donno if I love it yet though. Gonna try and get through it though and see what the hype is about.

    Other than that, I am still trucking along in Dyson Sphere Program. I have 2 spheres made now and am trying to ramp up my white science. I am stuck on a bottleneck issue so my max potential production is about twice what I am actually making. I think it's tied to my proliferator, but my prolifs need nanotubes that need graphene, and it's just been a mess. I've been working on it for a few days and donno what to do. I wanna get it fixed for when I ramp up to my goal of 5,000 science per minute. Then once I can get that going I wanna dump a sphere around a O type star and probably call it done.
