Hello everyone. Hope you all had a good week and relaxing weekend. I have been traveling all week so the only gaming I’ve been doing it playing Balatro on my phone. Have a great week
Replaying Deltarune in preparation for chapters 3 and 4 next month, it’s still so much fun. I’ve forgotten a lot of the jokes so they’re funny to me again. I’ve noticed this time that I really appreciate the visual design of chapter one a lot more. The music is obviously amazing, I don’t get annoyed running into fights accidentally because Rude Buster is like a top 5 Toby Fox song. Field of Hopes and Dreams is also up there.
chapters 3 and 4 next month
wait WHAT
Deltarune tomorrow! By which I mean June 5th
Specifically June 5th at midnight Japan time, so effectively June 4th for a lot of people
Pokemon Go. Now that I’m biking I can cover ground and tackle park routes. I don’t have to deal with that 12:59 pm "your Pokemon is knocked out and you have your max coins for the day.
Grabbed a newer copy of V Rising and started over with it after stalling out on the penultimate boss last time I played a year or so ago, it’s pretty fun. I just moved my vampire castle to a new, more central location and started rearranging all my production into proper rooms instead of one big mess.
Down to 7 jokers for Gold Stake difficulty and 2 challenges in Balatro. Once I have those, it will be a 100% competition for achievements.
Debating how involved I want to get with a new game shop in my town. It’s a leftist space, but I fear they have anarkkkidie NATO YouTube brainworms.
Do you take advantage of anaglyph deck + negative joker tag for getting gold stickers or are you a true sicko
I rarely use that deck. I mostly use Magic, Ghost, Abandoned, Checkered, Painted, Plasma, and Erratic. It depends on which jokers I’m trying to get. Plasma makes all the +chips jokers a lot easier, for example.
I used this with pocket pack skips in pokermon to find all the mega evolutions
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY SPACE CROISSANTS!!
Good-bye, my little babies!
Finished Rogue Trader recently, shit goes so incredibly hard. Going back for my first real BG3 playthrough since release and while it’s still great, it REALLY highlights the strengths of Rogue Trader
Worth trying the Pathfinder games if you liked Rogue Trader. Bit more complex in the character build department, but similar size to the story and strength of lore.
Already played wotr (twice). What really impressed me about RT was more the mechanics. Writing and all was great too (better than wotr imo) but the mechanics are truly excellent
Mmm, that’s very true, the combat in RT is definitely a lot more elegant and tactical than Pathfinder’s. I’m hoping that when Owlcat eventually make a PF2e game the combat feels a bit more like RT’s.
Coming Thursday well get a new announcement from Owlcat (almost certainly another warhammer/40k related project)
I had no idea! Exciting!
I been playing cs2 pretty regularly again. Shits fun but maaan the community is pretty ass
I have yet to have a good interaction on CS2 VC
Trying out different abandonware games I’ve found, so far I have like close to 40 some odd games bookmarked to try out.
I’m actually playing Yugioh The Power Of Chaos and Dynasty Warrior 4 Hyper. I love ygo and playing against an ai that’s at least somewhat competent is fun, and DW is great, it’s funny because I used to hate musou games but I’m learning to enjoy the hack and slash fun.
Drop Duchy, it’s Tetris mixed with a deck builder. You have to balance making lines to harvest resources with optimally placing military buildings to raise troops to win battles. Resources are used to upgrade your cards which makes it easier to get more resources and raise more troops. You also have to place enemy buildings to prevents them from gaining too much of benefit.
It’s an interesting balancing act with bosses each providing a small or large twist on where you place your blocks.
Styx: Master of Shadows, even though I suck at stealth games. I have like 20+ hours in this game and I just started level 2. I’ve also been enjoying Showgunners and I’m back on my WWE 2K universe mode alt-history bullshit.
As for my weekly WFRP group: The players salvaged a boat a while back and only just got around to using it for business. They also sunk all their money into a single barrel of crude oil. Today’s adventure is finishing clearing the mines they got to last week.
At this point I’m still technically playing Clair Obscur, but really mostly I’m arguing with people about the ending on the internet.
Nier Automata
Never played it before, went in blind. Love it.
Been playing a lot of Enter the Gungeon lately, it’s an awesome game to play local coop.
When playing alone, I’ve been hitting War Thunder. I know it’s disgustang, but you gotta admit that playing Soviet tanks and destroying Nazi era / US cold-war era vehicles is satisfying.
Slay the Spire with mods. It’s like THE deckbuilder roguelike and for good reason. Lot’s of depth and replayability. I’ve done most of the things on the unmodded game (A20H with each character), now giving mods a spin and starting on a fresh savegame. Again really fun, the mods I use mainly add variety (Hubris, Blue Lab, Chimera Cards) - especially Chimera Cards is really cool, you can get some really interesting ones that can shake up gameplay a lot.
Me and my best mate finally hopped onto darktide after a few years of vermintide 2. Seems like the game’s in a good place now, as I mostly find complaints about old systems when instead of the info I want about the current systems when Im trying to look stuff up.
Anyway, the ogryn with the grenade launcher gauntlet has me absolutely hooked, because the size of the character and weapon make it feel like you’re playing scorch from Titanfall 2. I miss my big thermite boy so much.
