Ghost of Tsushima is pretty good, but the story reeks of orientalism and is kinda racist tbh.

Oblivion, kinda Vanilla+. I have a depressing number of hours dumped into Morrowind and Skyrim, but Oblivion has kinda always just been "there" for me. That game that came between. I've beaten it in the past, enjoyed abusing things like paintbrush steps and all that, but never got really invested. Couldn't tell you why.

So, I've decided to change that. Taking it slow, exploring, and just having a generally good time.

Satisfactory. The factories keep getting bigger and bigger and producing fewer and fewer parts.

I’m currently feeling heavy decision paralysis. Do I build a second gigantic factory to produce motors or do I build a railroad across the entire map and transport them instead?

I have been too tired to play video games

Satisfactory, working on my first aluminum factory, trying to make sure it doesn't back up on byproducts.

Been playing Fire Emblem: The Morrow's Golden Country. It's a pretty great romhack, with a good story, and that Three Houses feeling of "is anybody really good or bad? I don't want to kill them". I have a feeling it's only going to get more complex and gain more depth, and I'm here for it.

I just played dota all day

Finished Metaphor demo, now I'm having an internal struggle session over if I should buy it or not, because it's so fucking expensive. The closest is probably Super Mario Galaxy 2 at launch price, but I don't think I've ever spent this much money on a game. But the story has drawn me in like nothing has in a while. But the swimsuit fairy character is cringe and keeps reminding me that I'm not a cis man by throwing out lines like "I'm not nagging but..." But I'm excited to take down the weapons manufacturers that test their igniters on minorities. But the way any good quality in a person gets labeled as "royal" or "noble" makes it feel like an exercise in commie-washing the west european ruling class, which is mega cringe, not to mention the importance of the "royal bloodline" (so far in the story at least). But I wanna level up the cool warframes by going on dungeon romps with my pals. But the next big fight after the demo is an EVIL gender non-conforming character . But the writing just feels like it has a lot of heart to it, it keeps making me tear up from the smallest cute moments of comradery. But, I'm just being sold a really elaborate interactive anti-capitalism adventure experience aren't I?

Anyway we'll see where I fall on that one.

Other than that I finished Wizorb and Toy Box Turbos recently after going through older games I haven't tried in my steam library. Toy Box Turbos was ok. It was cool not having any licensed vehicles, but the vehicle choices that were there just give the biggest vibes . There was a whole area themed after construction and featured almost exclusively (not) Caterpillar tractors, bulldozers and such. Just couldn't stop thinking what depraved shit the IDF is doing with those vehicles, and then it turns out the final level of the area is called "WAR IS HELL" in which you have to take down a cis man in a bulldozer. I played that whole area using the combine harvester as a existentially "fun" challenge for myself.

Wizorb was good. I like bouncing the ball and making the little blocks disappear, good sounds. The art made me want to go back and play Dyna Blaster on DOS Box

super monkey ball 2 but just the billiards party game

Silent Hill 2 Remake- I had been wanting to get into the SH franchise, but when I played the SH1 via emulation I was underwhelmed by the controls. Hated to drop it because it nailed the ambiance of what a horror suvival game should be like. Anyway, I'm liking the SH2 remake so far.

Metaphor: ReFantazio- Still making my way through the demo since I don't know if I want to jump all in just yet.

Been playing Remnant 2 because I have a terminal addiction to looter shooters. It has two separate guns that fire the platonic concept of "cube" as a projectile to deal damage. They both have infinite ammo and I will fire them at thin air because they fire "cube" and that fact is absolutely delightful. Something is wrong with my brain.

Some space fash simulator (space marine 2) since a recent patch actually allows it to run more than 30s before crashing. Fun game, difficulty overtuned as fuck though

Played the metaphor refantasy demo I dont think I'll play the full game.

I played a couple rounds of Kill Team with my friend to see if it was to my liking. Once the flow state kicked in, I was super engaged. Beastmen are super fun and I hope we eventually get a Loyalist equivalent, considering my love for more obscure units and alien races in that game.

Playing silent hill 2 remake. I like it. It's pretty scary.

Portal Revolution: What a well made mod. It honestly felt like a part of the franchise.

Portal 2: PR is apparently getting me back into a first person puzzle kick so I had to go with this next. It's my 4th or 47th playthrough but it's been a long time. Very much enjoying it. I'm trying to play co-op with my kid but it's hard keeping my patience so we are playing in small bursts. We are about halfway done.

X4: It took me an embarrassingly long time to get my substrate factory construction going. I donno what was going but I'd assign a construction ship and it would just disappear. I'm deep inside Terran space so they ships weren't getting ganked. I'd unbuy the factory and cancel the plot and the ship would show back up on the map. I finally decided to park on on, then assign it and ride to my plot in Mars and it's finally building. The whole thing is just keeping me from wanting to play more though.

tetris and super mario 64

i finished jedi survivor and i'm still mourning my glorbos and glup shittos...

Warthunder, sadly

I've been replaying Celeste because last time I stopped in frustration at 5b. Now I'm on 7c and oh boy the last screen is something else. I've been stuck for two hours already.

Just got a sim racing setup so been playing a lot of rally and Asetto Corsa!

Thinking about buying a refurbished PS5 so I can finally play Baldurs Gate 3, but now I’m considering Metaphor Refantazio first.

Continuing my month of playing Slay the Spire as Ironclad. So far I have two A20 heart kills, but I’m going to have to push to beat my previous best Ironclad month (with 4 wins). And I hope to be able to win with a build other than corruption/snecko. We shall see!

When I am not exhausting myself with Stepmania I am still working through my Half Life Alyx play through.

Alternating between

• death stranding
• silent hill 2 remake
• dread delusion
• persona 2 eternal punishment

I'll finish one of them eventually

Probably gonna finish sweeping fe7 using only mounted units, canas, and obligatory lords. It is so fucking easy this way. So I'll probably have another go around on Hector hard mode, playing on switch or I would have started there

I picked up kenshi again. I tell myself every time i play this game that Im gonna do a different playthrough but just end up being a 1-3 squad attempting to take down the slaver factions with tinfist
