The scythe the continuous fire laser is pretty bad, it got a buff recently which makes it barely useable. The sickle the assault rifle laser is pretty good and quite satisfying to use.

The dagger got buffed in the big patch and works pretty well now rather than tickling everything.

The other energy weapons worth using is the blitzer shotgun but only on the bugs and the plasma shotgun which has so much stagger it's good for both.

I like the jar cuz it hits like a truck and has decent ammo. The scorcher fills a similar niche in that it kills all the same targets in similar times, it just doesn't have as much ammo per mag.

I second the crossbow, beautiful gun in terms of performance. I just find it a little underwhelming to actually use, it doesn't have the visceral satisfaction of the other guns, it's lacking the bang and immediate feedback I think. Great effect on target though and can kill fabricators which is super handy.

The diligence counter sniper is a good head popper if you can manage the accuracy needed to be effective with it.

I always enjoyed the slugger for the stopping power and stagger. Doesn't do the walkers very well though compared to the others.

If you have the dagger try it against the bots, I really appreciate it for being able to shoot berserkers whilst running away and being able to pop mines without wasting ammo. It's surprisingly useful to have an infinite ammo secondary against the bots.

That's impressive. My wife got all the achievements for it and that seemed very stressful. But just as something to experience is a really chill game.

Journey is a beautiful game with excellent music and visuals. It's coop where you can only make a ping noise and run around each other so no possibility of negative interactions. There's a little challenge and adversity at times but the ending is phenomenal and joyous.

Sayonara wild hearts is a playable music album about a lady learning how to love herself. It's got simple game mechanics but the mechanics all compliment the music and the music is so so good.

I enjoy the opportunity to do a little spooky stuff. We live near a primary school and there are lots of young families around so there's always trick or treaters. We generally carve pumpkins and have a few decorations and sweets for them.

I tend to run a horror themed table top RPG for friends around the time as well which is usually good fun. I'm going to do Dread this year where you pull blocks from a Jenga tower instead of rolling dice and someone's character dies if they knock the tower over.

Something to talk to your therapist about maybe. Definitely focus on yourself as your priority though. Do things which make you happy, exercise, seeing friends / family, spending time outside.

Sounds like you're still working through depression to me. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time to heal and work through things, I'm glad you've found a therapist that's a great step. Do you think you want to go back to the industry or could you be avoiding it subconsciously? Something that has helped me a lot is journaling, you can wipe down your goals and break them down into smaller goals if needed.

I'm still regularly going back to Hotdogs Horseshoes and Hand grenades to play take and hold. Easily my favourite VR game.

I'm playing fallout London. Super impressive for a mod. I'm really enjoying it.

This looks real interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it and see what the reviews say.

Same. I enjoyed a lot of what I played but I don't get on well with metroidvanias. So I only played a couple of hours before I either got lost or died too often to a boss.

People do (and did before the patch) complete then solo. If you paired with an experienced group no reason you shouldn't smash it. Did you have fun? As I think that's what they are aiming for
