Today’s discussion questions are…

  1. What have you been playing recently?

  2. What do you hope to play later, if anything?

Bonus question:

What do you think of the June month of video game events? Sony and Microsoft’s presentations, for example, that happened recently?

I liked the previous events more, in my opinion.

Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server made by me, the InformedTankie mods, and BayArea415:

    I’ve played a bit of Celeste.

    I want to get into Stardew Valley since I’ve started and put that game down so many times I want to actually make some decent progress on it.

    Any tips and tricks are appreciated as it might help me break through the wall I have with the game and once I get rolling properly with it I know I’ll be addicted.

    Lol Starfield is an xbox exclusive? Thanks Bethesda /s

      Don’t worry too much about making slow progress.

      That being said, rush sprinklers. The ones that only cover the 8 tiles around them are surprisingly good, despite what you may first think of them.

      The time saved by having sprinklers is incredible.

      Going mining? Bombs are probably your best friend.

      small exploit

      Don’t have a good enough axe to get into the secret woods? Just use a chair. Place it on the left side of the log, and sit on it.

      To get out, do the same thing, but on the other side of the log.

        I think that was my biggest mistake first time round. I thought id miss out if I didn’t get all the slots of the community centre filled up in the first spring etc and my autistic brain was like “well now it’s ruined” because just waiting for the seasons to roll back around was apparently unacceptable to me lol.

        Rush sprinklers, got it!

        Okies I’ll remember bombs 💣

        There’s a secret wood?! See I don’t know anything lol.

        Are you looking forward to the haunted chocolatier?

        • Are you looking forward to the haunted chocolatier?

          It might be fun, but with how sparse the details are right now, I can’t really tell if it’d be my cup of tea or not

                Modding potential or just prefer it on that platform?

                Unless your about to tell me there’s extra content and im going to have to sink another 300+ hours into it because it’s perfect.

                • There’s no extra content announced as far as I know. I’m hoping they at least raise the frame cap to 60 FPS

                  I have my Steam Deck coming in the mail this week, so I’m excited about the prospect of playing P5R on the go.

                  I’m going to try emulating P5 on the PS3 on the Deck anyway, but I’d much rather have Royal (somewhat) native

                    Yeah fair I’m jealous!

                    We had them ordered but I bottled it at the last minute and didn’t comit and now I wish I had because P5R on the go great but also Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 on the go 👀 you knew it was coming hahaha.

      Where did you get to in Celeste ? Did you finish the main game ? If not, for reason ? Gameplay ? Story ?

        I’ve done the first two levels, I haven’t put it down or anything I just have work and life getting in the way so I’ve not felt the draw to pick it up whenever I have some spare time… yet. I’ve loved what I’ve played so far just a case of getting further when I find the motivation.

      Haha, I didn’t know that about Starfield. Maybe I’ll get an Xbox Series S instead of a PlayStation 5 like I originally planned. Also, Celeste is pretty good!

        It’s on PC as well but frankly I don’t have the money to build a new desktop to run it.

        I’m loving it, I haven’t hit the “okay now I’m obsessed and need to play it non stop to the end” stage yet that usually kicks in for me around the first third of a game but I know it will soon.
