Hello everyone. Hope all my fellow Americans are gonna have a good Thanksgiving next week. I had my birthday this past week which was fun and full of debauchery. Anyway I finished another playthrough of Disco Elysium, finally did 100% achievements after 5 playthroughs. I also played some Binding of Isaac, but I didn't play the new update. Have a good week everyone

    Been playing V Rising. Its got a really good difficulty curve. I always feel like I can barely make it past the next objective and you cant just grind your way past the difficulty. The castle relocation mechanic is genius. Letting you remodel your setup without making you carry everything back and forth is really well done.

      Keeping up with all 3 hoyo games, most of the time it takes 15-30 minutes a day, sometimes there is a burst of content I'm required to dedicate like 6 hours either game, its interesting.

    I've been playing kenshi. I have got to a decent point money and research wise using a house in Squin as my base and I'm just about ready to try and break out and make a stand alone base of my own.

    I wanted to have a few characters that could actually fight before I did this so I've been wandering around the borderlands this weekend looking for fights with bandits and mainly getting my arse handed to me.

    This is still my first play through so I mostly have no fucking idea what I'm doing but at least so far I've not lost any limbs of been dragged into servitude so at least I've got that going for me.

      Kenshi's a lot of fun. It's really hard to end up in a position where you really get stuck, so I enourage you to get in situations where you get captured or lose limbs.

      Also make sure to avoid the wiki and tour the continent.

        I very nearly for captured last night when exploring near stack for the first time but thankfully the mercs I hired took time out of their fight to come and beat up the guy that was carrying me away.

        I'm trying to avoid using too many resources unless I have to and just searching up specific questions when I can't figure out how to do something. I went down the swamp and got obliterated by some red spider things and now as ive said started venturing up near the stack.

        I'd really like to find some engineering books so I can research plate armour before I branch out into building my own base but not sure yet.

        Either way it is fun, my attention just gets drawn in many directions at once as it is all still pretty new!

    My buddy got me into PlanetSide 2 and that's been a lot of fun! Really cool to play a game I got hyped for over a decade ago and totally forgot about until just now. I have also been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat with the GUNSLINGER mod installed and the relatively small tweaks it makes to gunplay and survival make the game feel a lot more fresh.

    Downloaded Balatro and, oh boy do I get why people kept describing it as dangerously addictive

      I refuse to play it because I get very hooked on roguelites and am 150% certain it would ruin me for a month+

    Stalker 2 has been disappointing. Might end up somewhere good eventually, but until then I'm thinking about playing GAMMA again. Problem is that I updated it like an idiot and now all my hours of modding it last time are left as a broken mess of files to redownload. Think I'm gonna just have to start from a fresh install and rebuild my list. Gotta have my mags mod and my girl character to stalk the zone in search of artifacts. I guess I could put some more time into Zero Sievert for my fix instead, but it's not as immersive and that's what I like.

    Also rockin magic arena still, got a good monogreen hydra deck with an above-average win rate - though it's still not as good as my black-red bloomburrow lizard aggrocragro deck.

      Have you played Sievert since the 1.0 release? I really enjoyed it when I played it but that was around a year ago now and I haven't picked it up since the official "release", wondering if they improved it or made it worse as some decisions they made during the run up to 1.0 weren't super popular I seem to remember.

        Yeah I played the 1.0 release recently. It's still the same kinda deal. Most of the former progression quests have been moved to procedural quests. I'm mixed on it. There are still some of them and It's nice to not have progress gated behind getting x screwdrivers, but I miss, for instance, the ghoul nest or Lazar questlines. New skill and perk system is better, although I don't think either really was that impactful. There are some cool new guns and the boar still are awful to deal with sometimes. Getting shreked from off-screen still happens a little but not too often. I think it's a lot of fun to play right now all-in-all, despite all my criticisms. And if you play on difficulty settings where you don't lose all your gear, it's probably easy enough to push through the game at a reasonable pace too.

          Thanks for the info. I do intend to give it another go when I have time and it would definitely be nice not to have to keep returning to an area trying to find one specific item over and over again as that got a bit tiresome sometimes when the RNG gods were not looking down upon me favourably.

    I've been playing Tactical Breach Wizards and Star Wars: Outlaws.

    TBW is great - super fun puzzley turn based tactical combat.

    Outlaws is an open world Ubisoft game, for better or worse. I haven't played one in years, so I'm enjoying this. Plus, I'm a big Glup Shitto fan

    Been playing Cities: Skylines. Just got up to 40,000 population. Probably the largest city I've built without chronic issues. I didn't even put in a metro system until around 25k (and I still haven't used a single traffic circle!). Still has room to grow.

    Partner and I just hit level 27 in Lord of the Rings online. We're pretty obsessed and have been spending all our free time playing together. It's such a chill game.
