Whatcha playing? I’m still making my way through death stranding 2.
Also playing “Is this seat taken?” which is a super fun puzzler!
also stuck on death stranding 2 ;_;
Current progress
I just met heartman
Im not enjoying it as much as the first :/
Aw I’m sorry to hear that. I’m loving it a ton so far. I’ll have to see where the story lands but gameplay wise it’s been amazing
I still like it a lot! just not as much as i liked the original ds the first time :/ He seems to behaving more fun with the story sections though! (at least when hes not doing the classic kojima over explaining thing :p)
But i miss that feeling of isolation and just walking in silence i had in the first one, even though i dont understand why it doesnt feel silent now. Maybe its because i played it on steam and not on a playstation (interface stuff…)
Good luck on your journey though! keep on keeping on :)

Good luck to you as well! And I also get that. The first was so unique that it’s hard to get that same first experience. And I think I see what you mean too with the silence. If I had to guess maybe it’s dollman, or all the new fun ways to get around, or the Magellan being available all over the place. I did have a great moment trudging through the mountains yesterday though that brought me back to some epic moments I had in the first game
Are you having the same feeling as me where it feels like there’s so much more play structures lying around compared to the first game? There’s freaking bridges EVERYWHERE.
Stardew Valley led me to the video game crack that is Factorio once again. Good God it’s a well designed game.
I’m playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Skyrim on OLED Switch.
And I’m thinking about trying BTOW again. I bought my Switch to play BOTW, but it just hasn’t been my game yet. BOTW makes me feel stupid/dumb when I play it, maybe it won’t on my next try?
Remember that it’s always okay to look up online guides and whatnot if you’re feeling stuck or you’re not understanding something.
My computer has been out of commission, so I’ve been playing Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing New Horizon, and Bioshock on the Switch.
I’ve been playing through Death Stranding 2 and Is This Seat Taken? as well!
I’ve also been dipping in a little to the new stuff in Monster Hunter: Wilds and setting up a ton of emulation on my brand new Steam Deck; I went from being excited to have the new machine to overwhelming myself pretty quickly!
C&C Red Alert 2
I played it as a kid 25 years ago, but Day9 was replaying it recently and I had to go back and try it. It’s so good, especially the campy live action cutscenes 🤌. There was definitely a lot of humor that went over my head as a kid 😂.
Into the Unwell playtest. It caught my attention at Summer Game Fest and I was lucky enough to get the invite. I am loving it so far and can’t wait for it to release. Go wishlist it now!
Also playing a bit of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. Fun little Kart game and the sequel is in the works.
Apparently I’m in a 4X & RTS mood: Age of Wonders IV, Civ V & Civ VI, and some Age of Empires 2 & 4 matches. Also on holiday for the next couple of weeks so I’m debating whether or not to do BG3 or Pathfinder: WotR (my patience for CRPGs runs out at ~50-60 hours so perhaps neither)
If you like RTS, they recently released an HD version of Dawn of War which is pretty nice.
The Alters. It’s great! Nice to see someone tackle ideas around some really deep philosophical questions and make an actually engaging game around them.

Also playing Elden Ring Reforged with some friends.Not sure if I care for it, I don’t really enjoy the souls-like gameplay.
Currently preparing for a Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous playthrough, but I might play something else before then.
I’m definitely not gonna make my own builds, nor am I interested in that, with the hundreds of feats and spells in the game, many of which are just traps and no real way to learn. So I’m going through a bunch of different guides, a lot of which are outdated, and am currently creating a spreadsheet for me to reference, so I don’t have to sift through different videos and websites, every time I level up or do some other stuff (like the Crusade mode). I did the same for my BG3 Honor Mode playthroughs, and it makes everything so much more convenient.
I’m playing a few casual couch co-op games with my partner and our neighbours.
Overcooked, Out of Space, and Moving Out.
Up to four players. They involve a lot of communication, team work, and frustration. Lots of fun.
Finishing Persona 3 Reload. Story-wise it’s still my favourite among the (modern, at least) Persona games and I liked the new additional events. For the gameplay, I’m disappointed that it’s P5 system again and the new mechanics (theurgies) are overpowered. The game is a bit too easy, even on merciless.
Played a bit of Trails of Cold Steel III, but it feels more of the same of CS1. I’m considering dropping the series, as I can’t imagine it’s ever going back to Sky/Crossbell quality.
