My corporate overlords decided I get some vacation during this time of year, it being the holidays and all that. With some free days on my hands I'm planning to mess around with a couple games.

First up is Millennia a 4X game kinda like Civ. The twist is there are different ages that go off the rails from real history—so you can get a steampunk age or one where aliens invade and stuff like that. I barely touched it when it came out but now, after 7 updates, I figure I will give it a proper try.

Then theres Songs of Conquest, an indie game with amazing pixel art that’s sorta like the old Heroes of Might and Magic games- I might play this with a friend early next year as well.

EDIT: OK im feeling a bit tired so Im just gonna play my current Crusader Kings 3 save till I go 2 bed. Happy Holidays everyone

What are the fine folks on Hexbear playing obama

        I started with "oh, I'll just make a Kill Team set and see how that goes" a few months ago, too, and now I've just impulse bought a Combat Patrol set, which is just a "quick start your hobby backlog" pack lol.

        Super slow progress all around since I'm a parent. I need to post some of my WIPs on c/hobby

        I've also been digging through some of my old board games and have been thinking about painting the little figures from Shadows Over Camelot. I probably will want a break from science fiction characters eventually!

      1000x Resist is on my to-do list since everyone seems very positive on it - I mostly play strategy games but also like narrative stuff once in a while.

      I want to play Metaphor ReFantanzio but I feel like there is a enhanced editon or something coming one day for it (like with the persona games)

        There's definitely some Hong Kong protest brainworms, but the game seems pretty interesting so far. The main focus gameplay wise is walking around and talking to people. If you're into science fiction and/or anime, you'll probably have enough fun.

        I heard rumors that Atlus is going to do that annoying FES/Golden/Royale/Vengeance thing as a purchasable DLC/expansion going forward. Not 100% sure how true this is, but I'm probably going to play this game once now and play again sometime after the extra stuff comes out - if it's another full purchase, I'll just wait until that bit is super cheap lol
