Slowly working through Diablo 4's campaign on Gamepass when I don't feel like playing anything else and its okay I guess. I'm not really an ARPG player nor am I in the gambling stage of the game so I can't really comment on those systems, but the combat is pleasingly chunky and the story/presentation is decent. I appreciate that it doesn't fall into the trap of some DARK FANTASY stuff where everything is horrible and never gets better. NPCs will react positively to you finishing side quests and advancing the story, even if those changes aren't actually reflected in the game world. Keeps everything from feeling pointless, which is kind of ironic for game who's endpoint is a loot treadmill.

much like with David Warner as Irenicus in BG2, Ralph Ineson voicing Lorath does a lot to carry the campaign in D4

i've been playing spiritfarer and i've been pleasantly surprised; the gameplay is light enough to just sort of vibe with and not worry too much about maximizing my time; sailing around in the beautiful ocean world and cooking food for my ghost buddies is relaxing; i'm also finding it more affecting than i expected, partially due to Stuff In My Life, partially due to being a sap in general, and in large part just the quality of the writing and characterization. tonight, i was in the process of seing one of my spirits through the final door, and everyone else on my boat gathered around to see us off. since it was taking a while for them to get to the exit point, i started talking to the other waiting spirits... and they were all hungry since it was morning. we ended up departing for their final transition beyond this demimortal plane with a backdrop of the rest of the crew absolutely going to town with their eating animations, which tbh is how i think i'd like it to be for me as well.

Ive tried to like Battle Brothers several times over the years, but the best strategy being to bully a guy with daggers to get his armor is just such a massive turn off for me. I hate that kind of tedious micro management of an encounter I've clearly decisively won in order to maximize resources. I dropped Battletech, a game I otherwise really liked, over the same thing

Al! posted:this is what i call my "i really liked stellaris but i cant afford it" problem They finally came out with a subscription for Stellaris. For $10 a month you can play with all the DLCs. Theres a few I don't own because they just never appealed to me, like Astral Planes or First Contact, that I might try out some month just to see if I'm missing anything.

I've been feeling burnt out on gaming for the last couple of months, so i haven't touched a single game in some time. Buy a game, play for a couple of hours, let it collect dust, repeat. I think it's probably for the best that I put gaming aside for a while, however, as of today I have a really strong urge to play Tears of the Kingdom again. Never finished it, might give it a spin after work!

Yeah, staring at your games list for an hour unable to decide what, if anything, you want to play, then booting up something and listlessly clicking around for a bit before abruptly closing it without saving is a classic sign of brain troubles

https://twitter.com/SamLakeRMD/status/1777820551416873304 also echoing everyone recommending crosscode and chained echoes, those two games are incredibly good

Last september I was struggling with panic attacks for the first time ever, I have been in therapy since december. Been feeling a lot better as of late. Even though collecting korok seeds might not be the very best thing for a person's sanity... We'll see.

I guess it's that Soren Johnson (I think) quote where if given the opportunity, players will optimize all the fun out of the game.

Been playing the old C&C games (not the remakes). I forgot how brutal the first C&C was, especially the Nod campaign with the constant airstrike that can one shot every building if they hit right.

I dropped Battletech, a game I otherwise really liked, over the same thing Play like I do and completely ignore that nerd poo poo. Any armor that couldn't survive being beat on is clearly not worth it and also I'm sorry used armor? Like a peasant? I pay for armor with the spoils of my many victories.

Never finished it, might give it a spin after work! THC edibles are the trick here, take one and in an hour you'll have a window of an hour or two where you get some of that old feeling back. Boot up the game then and theres a good chance it will become self-sustaining

Been thinking about it and the optimal number of Hitlers per JRPG is 3. One main Hitler antagonist, the Hitler behind the Hitler you find out about in the last couple hours, and a non-party Hitler on the protag's side to tut-tut and moralize at. Ideally Hitler Prime has a crew of 3-6 lieutenants of a Goebbels/Himmler/Göring nature, most with their own dungeons. Check out my Substack for more.

it just does the lil parallel trick where it splits the baby (fps) by switching camera position. so when i tried it the ghosting effect sucked rear end.... which is made even worse because it needs to use its own homebrew framegen to get the fps back up because its loving cyberpunk lol. in 10 years when you can run that poo poo at 120fps real frames it'll be badass

actual games with proper resolution textures, etc look extremely badass in VR.... like looking at the city scape kicks rear end. but then i just deleted all that crap lol. it'll be real cool eventually... with pathtracing it'd be eyepopping beyond belief

Iirc Chained Echoes has 4 Hitlers, one of whom is a group with no named individual members so I dunno if it counts Frederick / Gwayn / church CEO guy / Vaen Gwayn also might not count come to think of it. Pseudohitler

if meta wasn't metarded they'd just pay the engine development companies to put easy hooks for VR rendering but that'd be a scheme to push hardware whereas they want to have their super face console facebook closed ecosystem that doesn't actually work or make money for anybody lol. oh well
