Figured it'd be nice to have a spot to talk about this. Link is to the upcoming direct on their channel.

People can also post articles after the fact, I don't think our community is so active that I worry about clogging the feed. But we'll see. I'm excited!

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!

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

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

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

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!

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
