I've played a lot of Binding of Isaac: Rebirth this week. I was surprised that I remembered what most of the items do and which trinkets are bad. But my muscle memory has faded completely at this point and I die a lot.

I also dabbled a little bit with Stronghold: Crusader. Always a classic

The new yakuza. For the most part these games are wholesome af and I appreciates that about em

I haven't played them all yet, but a coworker of mine was going into detail about how Kiryu is a great example of a non-toxic male protagonist.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

Your coworker is correct

I'm playing Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth. It's fun, but there's definetly some weird shit mixed in. Like I was helping some dude sell his segway and then I got stuck in a dating minigame that ended with a video of a real model in a bikini posing in a hotel room.

Edit: like not a model of a real person, it cut to a video of a real person.

I kind a like how they make it clear that the apps are a market and not a good model for relationships.

played some MtG, I'm not good enough at draft yet to do more than "hahakitty-catle-monkeelephant-pog go brrr"

been a while but it's still good fun comfy

Whenever a new set comes out, the first draft I do goes great, then I do two more, go like 0-3 or 1-3 and give up. Genuinely just too stressful to gamble with your gold and gems (even though I don't use them for anything else)

Is that in-game currency from Arena or something? I haven't actually played any of the video game versions yet, just fucking around with my old cards and friends who have cards.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For a while I consistently went to drafts because it was a budget method of collecting cards. The first time after a while you go to a non-draft pre-sealed you'll get some honest-to-goodness wins in.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

When I've got some more disposable income I'd like to do that once in a while. In the meantime I'm starting to build a draft cube out of a bunch of random cards I got off ebay 20 years ago.

Just got into Cult of the Lamb today. It's cute, it's fun, and it's spooky in that Halloween/Heavy Metal Album Cover kinda way. The gameplay is alright, but kinda bland like most roguelites.

I've been reinstalling and redownloading mods for Fallout 4 all day lmao 😭 maybe I'll get to play tonight

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Stardew Valley for the first time since launch. Just finished year two and the money is rolling in. I installed the anthro character mod tonight which has been great.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

Sunday should have actually been more productive, in my case. Anyway, I played some Forgive me Father and maybe an hour of Elden Ring before too much bullshit in a single dungeon me quit. Oh, and You are a Wizard from the Gaza Game Bundle on Itch.

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

all the fallout talk got me to plug the xbox 360 back in and replay new vegas. that's all i've been playing.

playing Death Must Die and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor again. I've been on a long term quest to find the best survivors game in the genre.

DRGS is really fun and different enough to stand out. Mining/Carving your way through the terrain and having currency being the main objective really plays into the importance of movement and pathing to be successful. The devs have a lot of work to do but it's 100% worth a shot if you're bored and want to try something different. I think it has potential to be the best of the best.

Death Must Die has a new himbo pirouette archer elf that instantly made steam forum chuds mad lmao. This one is closer to the ARPG side of things (think Diablo 2) where random loot drops are just as important as your on the fly build. The loot itself isn't random bullshit loot piles that need a filter and it doesn't drop like candy so it's a very focused loot system with character agnostic stats aside from loot specifically made for the character and armor class (light, medium, heavy). The combat animations are also phenomenal and it feels great to play, especially himbo pirouette elf archer.

My favorite part of the game is the shit-talking skeleton and edgy elf rogue girl. The humor is silly fun and very much not serious. Sometimes the gods show up for some reason to help you idk about that shit and the artwork is horny for no reason idk. Disregard any review or description that implies the game is inspired by Hades. The gods are about where the comparison ends they are completely different games in tone.

First time making my own build in Path of Exile, it's going great, I've managed to achieve my goal of comfortably clearing tier 16 maps.

So long as it isn’t Saturday, that’s rugby day

The lord gave us Sunday for gaming

[–] charlie@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Still AC6, I'm on NG+ and taking the alternate paths. I haven't looked anything up, just figuring it out as I go, but I am aware there are 3 separate endings.

It's really funny to me, I'm currently stuck on "Attack the Dam" which was a mission I replayed probably dozens of times to get money for parts, and it's the mission I've been stuck on for days where the alternate bosses are really challenging for my current build.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Remnant 2 which is a real sleeper hit

[–] IloveSeagulls@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

I've been banging my head against a wall trying to play War Game Red Dragon again. I liked the first game but this and airland battle added so much stuff that it's kind of hellish to keep track of what's going on and I dearly wish there were keybinds for game speed control...and that the AI didn't heli spam outside of campaigns.

Also EverQuest and some H3&VTOL vr on and off bc of some technical issues.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Playing Outpost, Infinity Siege. I just unlocked ATC 10. AT 25m Juliette is the thicc'est tank I have ever commanded.

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Still playing DE, first round was sort of me guessing how the character would play from a near-fatal bout of alcohol poisoning, Korsakoffs gone wild also me as a player going in somewhat blind minus things people shitpost as memes from rooftops. This time I know quite a bit more, should be interesting to see how things play out differently. If I get time I'd like to start cultist simulator.
