I started playing the developer's previous game, Luxaren Allure (also free), which is best summed up as "a standard heroes-collect-the-artifacts-to-defeat-the-evil-overlord RPG, except every major character is a lesbian." Turns out they've always been this good at random encounter monsters.
taking another crack at fallout 4. decided to thrown concern for regular progression to the wind, am now level 43 and setting foot on the Prydwen for the first time. still mad they won't let you smooch the robot but the ghoul is a lovely second best
I'm replaying soul silver and grinding all my worthless level 3 pokemon up to level 50 mods are censoring me nobody will be able to read this post qq cest vie
This Neo-Twiny Jam entry delights me. (For those unfamiliar, Twiny Jam is for micro interactive fiction, so it's very short.)
After months and months of useless faffing about… I have finally succeeded in my quest: Now I just need everyone to give suggestions on the funniest possible things to combine them with.
Minecraft, Bugsnax (by GODS did that become an obsession for a few months), a few supermarket simulator games. I need to get back into skyrim, I miss running around as a murderous barbie doll.
I have been dogsitting, and while continuing to play Subnautica while dogsitting, I found an egg that hatches into a cute fish that follows you around and does tricks. Perhaps the fact that IRL I have been trying to keep track of five very tiny animals and worrying about whether all of them have eaten food is a contributing factor to why I keep getting extremely stressed about the safety of my fish friend and whether I have accidentally caused terrible things to happen to it.
I got a used Quest 2 and I've been playing Beat Saber. So much Beat Saber. Like truly ridiculous amounts of Beat Saber.
(My fish-related anxiety was significantly alleviated when I looked on the wiki, by the way, because it turns out Friendy Boy has the same amount of health as a Reefback Leviathan, which are so huge that they have entire ecosystems of coral growing on their backs. Good game design decision there.)
giving Abiotic Factor a try, and it promises to be a timesink in the best way. if you like survival+exploration+base building games definitely give it a shot. I'm only a couple hours in and I'm hooked.
Just mainlined Strange Horticulture because it was less than $5 on Steam. There is something that amuses me out of proportion to what is warranted about the juxtaposition of cozy flower shop vibes and the fact that you can drive a man insane with no consequences and become an extradimensional murder monster.
Cult of the Lamb! This particular combo of farm sim and rogue-like combat is an interesting whiplash back and forth, especially when Some Entities decide to be like "lol your followers are starving now" and I rush back to save them >:[ Planning to start Subnautica and Danganrompa sometime soon - the former since a friend gifted it to me on Steam, the latter as a 'play this game I love' trade w/ another friend who's tried Undertale and some Deltarune in exchange. DR for DR :P
I've been playing a niche Total Annihilation derivative called 'Zero-K'. It's pretty nice: not quite the same scale as Supreme Commander, but it has a nice variety of units and - this is the nicest thing - they're smart. The design philosophy is based on 'fight the enemy, not the UI' and it shows. You can set up all kinds of custom automatic behaviors - for instance, units will automatically dodge incoming shots, return to base for repairs when damaged, spread fire to the most important targets, and more. Also there's chimken.
i played lorelai and the laser eyes and also return of the obra dinn this week puzzles. everything is puzzles. all is puzzles. why are the games over i didn't scratch the puzzle itch hard enough yet
