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.

  • Anyone here ever catch all the Pokemon? I’m thinking about doing it this summer for one or two of the generations (I think I have the materials to do it for gens 1-5), but I never have because I’m a posuer. A poképosuér.

      I’ve finished the Dex in Gen 3 (with exception of Jirachi and maybe Deoxys), Gen 7 (pretty easy), Gen 8 (super easy, provided you have a friend, Pokebank, or two Switches).

    • Right now I’m still fuckin’ grindin’ coins to unlock the gold glider in Mario Kart 8. They shifted it down to 5000 in DX, but MK8 has it at 10,000 and you can’t do a bunch of extra controllers with auto-accelerate/auto-steer to multiply how many coins you get each run to 20-40 or whatever.

    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).
