Playing the Aliens Dark Descent tactics game. Really enjoying it so far, kind of like a faster paced XCOM in the way it plays (realtime, not turn based) but the missions are so long and the maps so big that you have to be real systematic and methodical in the way you control your squad, or they're gonna get creamed. If you liked XCOM, give it a shot.

thinking about trying Battlebit Remastered but i'm remembering that i always get really excessively nervous in multiplayer team games. it's weird and frustrating to me that i'm almost never able to relax, doubly so when i'm playing poorly, and that no amount of practice or, well, weed has ever changed that

Same, kinda. Mostly stick to cooperative games now, or fighting games where it's one on one and thus there's no teammates to end up letting down or get mad over.

DRG is probably the only game i can think of that hasn't done that to me, probably solely on the power of mashing V. more games need a rock'n'stone button like that

actually now i think about it i haven't checked out the new DRG season yet

It's p good, the new enemy types add some decent variety and the new jumpboots can cause some real wild caves to get generated if they spawn on a mission.

its unbelievably bad. 5v5 is the ultimate in toxicity generation and then on top of that you add in the random unbalanced poo poo-fest that is a moba.
