Haven’t seen a post like this recently so I thought I’d start the conversation !

I’m close to finishing Wario Land 3 (emulated GBC), which was the game of my childhood, I’m surprised of how tricky some levels are.

I also started playing The Eternal Cylinder but it’s quite a demanding game so I’m thinking of playing it on PC instead

    That was the game of my childhood too, there’s a record of the soundtrack on YouTube I highly recommend for massive nostalgia

    We normally do a “what are you playing” discussion post at the start of each month, so the next one would have been posted in a couple days. This post is taking off though, so I’ll go ahead and feature it and we’ll use it instead for the month of August.

    On a side note, we’re always looking for more routine discussion topics if anyone has any suggestions.

    I suppose I didn’t actually answer the question! I’ve been soooo busy lately, but I’ve been playing bits of Children of Morta, I think made by the same people as the Wizard Legends game. It’s fun, although while I understand the fatigue mechanics I’m not big on that one aspect. Everything else is nice though

    Hype: The Time Quest, a 90s PC game by Playmobil that was a formative part of my childhood. Surprisingly dark story for baby’s first 3D action adventure game. Took quite a bit of work to get it running on Steam Deck, but I’m about 3/4 through it. Starting to lose my patience with the awful fucking tank controls, though. Tried to modernize them a little with Steam Input, but the platforming is killing me.

    I’m planning on checking out the Wario Land series myself soon. Recently got a cheap retro handheld and that’s on my list for sure.

    A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…

    I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck

      I too am addicted to Balatro. I made progress though as I installed RDR2. But afterwards right back to Balatro.

      Try the Steam Link app from your phone. I haven’t tried it with Balatro but I think it worked fine with Slay the Spire.

    Little Kitty Big City. It’s cute & charming, a little glitchy here and there, and makes me smile. I’m not trying to speed run the thing, just collecting hats and trying to hit all the goals.

    Manor Lords.

    Plays really well but as one reviewer put it, it gets old after 20 hours or so.

    That said, the early access bit is done well in that the content that is there works pretty well, and you can see placeholder for the other features being worked on.

    Like right now it’s maybe like 25% of the full game, but that 25% works well and you can clearly see what’s coming.

      Graphics wise mostly, it runs okay (30 to 40 FPS), but there’s some input lag because of it in some environment heavy parts

    Added 6 more mods to my Stardew Valley. That should be alright. It’s not over 200, luckily.

    Lately I’ve been playing Pseudoregalia. It’s a really good game. It’s a 3D platformer in the style of N64, with super fluid movement.

    I’ve recently finished playing the entire Ratchet and Clank collection… Well… With the exception of the PS3 spinoffs.

    But yeah, was surprised the Deck can actually handle PS3 emulation quite well. I was holding off on playing Rift Apart, but when I got Motorstorm running nicely, a game that previously was completely impossible to run decently, I was convinced I could finally go and play all of R&C.

    Now I just got to wait till…

    *checks notes

    … 2029!?!

    Uh… Yeah… 2029 for the conclusion of Ratchet and Clank…

    Anyway, Rift Apart ran great after some tweaking. The default settings make the game look fugly.

    Crash Bandicoot on PSX using duckstation. Man some of these levels are hard, I remember as a kid getting so frustrated and it was absolutely warranted.

      The remake/remaster(?) isn’t any easier. I’ve played through a little bit of the original on duckstation and the remaster(?) and it certainly feels just as aggravating on both.
