What have y'all been playing?

I'm currently not totally sure what to play. I finished what remains of Edith finch, and pretty much every short game on my backlog is now done. Everything left is a decent size. I'm between Chrono trigger, finishing/starting over Majora's mask, disco Elysium, and nier Automata!

This is one of the most insane things I've ever read

 

What have you all been playing?

I finally finished avowed. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit but I'm happy it's done.

I also ended up being productive with my backlog and best both Cuphead and Jusant. Cuphead was great but I was ultimately disappointed in Jusant

 

What have y'all been playing? I've been continuing my Avowed grind. I'm starting to be ready for it to be over. But it is still very enjoyable. I just have other games I want to play lol

[–] chloyster 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's definitely a divisive game but it worked super well for me. It dared to try something controversial and interesting and for that I give it a lot of credit. The cherry on top being that it worked for me personally

Part II is one of my favorite game stories / experiences of all time. I am worried but also excited to see how they handle it in the show

What'cha all been playing? I've been playing a ton for Avowed this last week. I'm really enjoying it! It's definitely got some issues but overall it's been one of my favorite RPGs in recent memory

[–] chloyster 5 points 4 weeks ago

Not much to add other than I am yet another voice that considers HeartGold SoulSilver to be the peak of the franchise

 

Whatcha playing?

I've been playing a bunch of Avowed! I am really enjoying it. It kinda feels, combat wise, that they just fixed Skyrim combat lol. It's like Skyrim combat but with any actual feedback. It actually feels like you're hitting things.

I also played and beat Thank Goodness You're Here. That was a trip, but a funny and worthwhile one

Yeah I've also been really frustrated by this attitude. My advice is to look for local groups of activists and see what you can do to help. Being part of a local coalition can be a very motivating thing and even just being in their discord or matrix servers or whatever can be a good way to get information. I found a local trans activist group that has a user providing daily political bulletins on what kind of stuff is going on around the city. Talking with these people and seeing what is going on feels a lot more optimistic and tangible than the stuff I see posted here

This game looks awesome. Definitely checking this out

 

Whatcha all been playing?

I finally beat Indiana Jones. Very solid game. Perhaps a bit too long and has some noticeable jank. But I really liked it overall

Also got to play the Elden Ring Nightrein network test. Damn, that game is super super fun. I'm really excited to play the full release!

Tbh everyone should just use bypass paywalls clean. It's a bit harder to find now that it's been taken down on most well known code repos, but it is still regularly updated and works extremely well. Here is a direct link to the latest .xpi file you can use in your browser: Bypass Paywalls Clean

Oh for sure, and I do. I'm a big proponent of voting your heart in a primary

[–] chloyster 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am aware some states are adopting it. But until it is a common thing nationwide it doesn't really remedy the situation. Yet.

[–] chloyster 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Wake me up when we have a voting system that allows for more than 2 parties. Until then, I will try and push Dems left

[–] chloyster 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you mean to have more in this post? I'm not sure I fully understand. I'll remove if there wasn't more you were trying to say

 

What have y'all been playing? I've been trying to wrap up Indiana Jones, then I think I'm going to do a replay of the machine games Wolfenstein games

 

What have you all been playing?

I finished the "Roottrees are dead" second scenario and had a blast. Continuing my Isaac dead god journey. Want to start some new games soon but not sure what at this point

 

Whatcha been playing?

I've been playing a ton of "The Roottree's are dead."

It's a very cool detective game akin to obra dinn and golden idol. Highly recommend if you're a fan of the genre. Besides that I've also been checking out a bunch of playdate stuff :3
