What have we all been playing recently?

been playing subnautica: below zero finally :) very much enjoying ignoring all the storylines to chill and build my base instead lol. the plot has only been advanced at all because you need to in order to unlock certain blueprints XD

 

Beast Breaker, a very cute ball bouncing game where you are a small mouse fighting the corrupted Beasts that are threatening the land.

 

I've been playing Disco Elysium after seeing a post with screenshots of reviews from the steam page, they were not kidding when they said you could die while attempting to punch a child.

 

Disco Elysium is so fucking good. All I've done for the last three days is play Disco Elysium.

 

I keep meaning to play it, and I suspect I'll be similarly pulled in once I do

 

Been binging Harvest moon animal parade but i think my Wii remote is on its way out XD it kept disconnecting from the tv even with fresh batteries. Going to buy a new remote and nunchuck. Hopefully nothing is wrong with the system itself, I dont want to try and find an old console. Mine is secondhand but I'd want to buy a new one to replace it if possible.

Meanwhile, back to minecraft and skyrim

 

kingdom: two crowns! watched a streamer play for like 5 minutes and it brought the craving back full force. I haven't played since they added the free expansions. Dead Lands is pretty fun so far!

 

All I've played since mid-January is Final Fantasy XIV and this pattern is likely to continue

 

Getting back into Hades. Thinking about buying Journey (idk if my computer can run it). I played perfect tides and its cute. Tynk! And the final phonorecord demo is great and I rec to fund its indiegogo

 

my friend shared her steam library w me so I could try elden ring

I have now played elden ring for 20 hours

 

just started Mass Effect for the first time! trying not to sweat TOO too much about the dialogue choices, which usually stress me out. I fucking love the vehicular combat. the boob armor is killing me, though, I've got to find a mod to fix that.

 

every vehicle in every video game ever should be just like the Mako. you can take this thing ANYWHERE it does not give a FUCK

 

why sneak into an enemy base when you can moonshoes your way past the front door

 

if your game doesn't let me drive up walls like a looney toons character with rocket boosters I'm not interested

 

Does anyone know anything about emulators? My Wii remotes not working and I don't want to spend money on a replacement that may or may not work, and go through the trouble of trying to get a refund

 

there are Harvest Moon players here, right? what would be a good game to get into the franchise? should I just start at the beginning? or rather the earliest available on the 3ds since that's what I have

 

been dinking around in FFXI a little and i'm really enjoying it! Very nice to be playing an MMO that's still got a bunch of jank and weird combinations and hasn't been hyperoptimized into a perfectly smooth experience, again.

 

If you start with one of the newer titles keep in mind that they're called Story of Seasons now. In terms of which one to start with...Honestly a good chunk of them are good to start out with? Like whatever you've got access to I'd say you're gold with. Trio of Towns and Friends of Mineral Town get suggested as starting places a lot. I personally started with A Wonderful Life which is a bit of a weird entry in the series and is also locked to the gamecube. It's a good game with a lovely atmosphere if you can manage to play it though.

 

I finally bought Crypt of the Necrodancer. Beat Zone 1 after like two days of constant effort, so it's gonna be a while before I get anywhere with it XD

 

good luck! that game is keeping company with Dark Souls on my "looks amazing but I am not nearly enough of a tryhard to enjoy it" list lol
