Hope everyone had a good weekend. This week i finished my SL1 run of DS3, almost finished the painted deck in Balatro, and started a campaign in Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion as the Eastern Roman Empire

    The Blue Prince, I’m obsessed. I’m over 10 hours in and still not entirely sure what I’m even working towards, but I have like 3-4 meta puzzles I’m keeping track of in notes outside of the game.

      Me too, I recently reached the 46th room and there’s still many mysteries to solve, and the world building is very interesting so I want to solve what’s going on! I also have a notebook I keep beside me to write down things in.

    OK I know this is a video game sub, but I want to send some praise out for Codenames. It is such a fun and chill game to play with friends and family. It’s also just a good ice breaker game that allows you to get to know people through the way their mind draws connections between words.

    I finally started Graveyard Keeper, which has been in my library for a while. It’s very Stardew-esque in its gameplay, but with a dark setting and more of a linear progression in the way the story has played out. I’m not very far because it seems like a long haul, patient gamer grind, but I’m curious to see how it turns out. Some content warnings though:

    Slight spoiler/cw

    as the graveyard keeper you deal with bodies and autopsies, and there’s a lot of not-subtle religion-driven misogyny, as it’s kind of set in a time period akin to what most people would call “medieval”, with witches, cannibalism, and other horror genre themes.

    So far I’d recommend it!

    I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and I’m on my 9th full playthrough, but I really want to play Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and Clair Obscur Expedition 33 as they both look really fun.

    Finally playing Xenosaga for the first time. It’s pretty good.

    Although I went in assuming that there would be fewer long text-dumps than Xenogears, and MonoSoft was all “Hold my sake.”

    I picked up No Man’s Sky finally chomsky-yes-honey

    I have about 35 hours in on it and am doing a mix between main story, side stuff, and fucking around with base building. I have a main base on a planet with red grass and floating islands, but I’m planning on setting up an oxygen farm on a new planet and making that my new base while using my freighter as well.

    The game is scratching the itch for sure. I was never into Minecraft but this being basically “Minecraft in space” seems to work for me. I kind of wish they had modular space station type stuff like in X4 to make the stations seem less same-y and I wish storms happened way less frequent than they do but that’s probably my only gripes so far. Oh, and making stair inside bases is a nightmare.

    cs 1.6. it’s a blast from the past and im surprised that people still play it (granted it’s mostly schoolchildren and almost always on dust2 which i don’t hate but the same map gets boring after 560 hours).
