Putting this in place of @GuyWTriangle@hexbear.net 's weekly thread since it's Wednesday so it's late! Title, what are you playing this week?

I'm on my bullshit playing Korean MMORPGs again, this time playing Dark Ages by Nexon. I plan on trying out Maple Story and Mabinogi too. I like this game but it's kind of bullshit they charge money for it still and the private servers are totally dead sadness

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net if you could pin this please.

    Canceled the WoW sub after 2 months. Really put into focus that the part of WoW I enjoyed was playing with my friends, and they don't play anymore. Anyway, maybe I'll dip back in in 15 years again.

    Since then I've been playing Pacific Drive with all the fiddly crafting systems turned way down thanks to the recent update they put out. I've got to say, though, as someone who has been to the Olympic Peninsula, they kind of did a really bad job of capturing what it looks like. It's not nearly wet enough. There's no moss. There are no rivers. No waterfalls. Idk. In execution, it's not as cool as the concept, and I think at least some of that can be laid at the feet of the art direction.

    And I've done a few runs in the new Hades 2 update, but haven't managed to stay alive long enough to see the new content because I got rusty.

      yeah i only played a little of Pacific drive but it didn't seem as cool as it might have been. I found the voice acting lacking too and not in a charming kind of way
