Games

I've been bouncing between games a lot the last few months trying to find something to hyperfocus on.

I tried Going Medieval for a bit. Its a medieval rimworld clone in 3d. Its ok but too easy and needs a lot of fleshing out.

I played some Delta V Rings of Saturn. Its a 2d top down asteroid mining game. Sounds kinda lame but its pretty good. The physics are done really well. (No friction 100% preservation of inertia) On the one hand it is really calm and peaceful and low stress... until you are trying to catch a beacon that is spinning and every time you fail to get it through your cargo bay doors you add more velocity to it and then the next thing you know you are screaming through the asteroid belt dodging giant hunks of ice where its just a matter of time before you crash.
The story is pretty thin to non existent so I got bored. Its one of those games where the grind is the game and the loop does end up getting a bit dull.

I tried Jusant. Its a rock climbing sim that tries to do thing where the lore is imbedded in notes between people. Its not bad. It makes you control each arm as you climb. Kinda like how death stranding had you control your leaning so you don't fall over.

Played a bit of Star wars Episode 1 Racer which I hadn't played in like 20 years. Fucking wato had me cracking up. "outlanders, they come here, how do they find me, they come here, they mess up my store"

Also played a bit of Darkforces remaster.

Played a bit of the latest Medieval Dynasty update. The towns have been fleshed out so they look more lived in. The new bandit camps are good, The new weapons and armor are pretty cool, I think there might have been some positive changes to the AI because the animals and bandits seem a bit more tricksy. I imagine these upgraded bandits will be really rough in the early game.

And then the last few days I have been playing X4. X2 was pretty good X3 pissed me off with the tiny UI so I never got into it. X4 seems pretty good but we will see.
