I just got my SD.
After exploring the system and playing around with many games in my library (thanks to who ever implemented network-downloading), I rediscovered Forza Horizon 5. The new way of playing it seemed to have changed my perspective on the game.
Sons of Valhalla looks fun but the mixed reviews worry me a bit.
Today I will do some Arma3 Mission with 2 buddys of mine.
Over the weekend I got back into the groove of MH:Rise on the Switch, so I will do some farming.
I can’t blame him if he wants his app to survive. I used the pro version for years and would happily payed the planed subscription. But because the vast majority, if not all of the money goes to Reddit I just can’t bring myself to do it. I hope his calculations are correct and if they are not, I hope he doesn’t falls into dept.
I can’t blame the 3P Devs for dealing with this situation as they see fit. It feels like shooting the messenger …
Spec Ops: The Line I thought it was just another military 3rd-person shooter. Boy was I wrong. That thing hit me hard!
Also Oni by bungie. I like the style and I remember that the climax was somewhat emotional for very jung me.
This war of mine I cannot play this game for long and I absolutely love it for that.
There are others too but the common thing is that they were emotional for me. Sure I remember great visuals or gameplay but at the end of the day the games that make me feel stuff stay with me.
Now I have an existential crisis…
At work I develop for windows servers with vs code, which I also use at home on my Arch powered ThinkPad …
WHAT AM I!?
While not a daily login bonus, the weekly and monthly tasklist of Forza Horizon 5 killed the game for me. It triggered some sort of fomo and I would rush in every week to grind the new tasks/events. That burned me out very fast, so I could not enjoy the rest of the game.
I agree on that one, but for a slightly different reason. For me it was the camera. For whatever reason I had the feeling I fought the camera more than I fought the enemies. And that kills the fun for me.
Animal crossin as a whole. I’ve tried multiple entries and the games are not quite my cup of tea in the long run. And yet I enjoy the start of a new game or coming back to a save. No pressure, no worries just some cuteness overload.
When I was a child I played a boardgame on my bed with my sibling. When I lost I let my self fall back in frustration and for dramatic effect. I thought I would just hit my mattress, instead I hit my bedframe with my head. Some screaming and bleeding later we went to the hospital for some stiches.
TLDR: played board game ended up in hospital
I feel you…
One of my services connects multiple systems. Some with timezone information some without. It is all a big guessing game … Add some misconfigurations of VMs and you get some very interesting errors.
Monopoly on the Switch. Basically you can take out a Mortgage on a street and sell it to the AI. But the AI seems to be hard coded to immediately pay off said Mortgage. After that you can buy back the street. Repeat until the AI runs out of money.
I am not allowed to do that when playing with other people… somehow…
Both actually. I have a server for a small group of friends and we play regularly together. It is our 4th save we started and this time we do some RP with some minor PvP.
But often I load up a creative world put some music on an just design ships or vehicles. It is like playing with virtual Lego with the benefit that you can blow it up afterwards.
I haven’t done it in some time but playing alone on a survival save game is enjoyable too, especially with said NPC and physics mods. Last year I played along with some YouTuber who shared is savegame.
But I have to admit that it’s hard to get into without a starting point. Not because it’s hard or complicated, because it is a complete sandbox without fixed goals.
Space Engineers the base game is great, but it comes to life with mods.
From simple things like a more immersive way to paint blocks or customised UI to to hole NPC Factions, new Weapons, dekorative Stuff, all the way to hole new physics systems like Water with flotation, Aerodynamics or re-entry heat.
I rarely play my games with mods, this game is one of the few exceptions. I even went so far as to create some very minor mods my self.
I really liked Watch_Dogs. And it is the only game in which the invading player thingy clicked for me. No other game ever pulled that off again. (the new Sniper elite came close though, but it messed up the frequency of it)
Sadly the second game never clicked for me, so I didn’t tried Legions.
I just found Super Woden GT 2 an amazing Retro-Indy-Racer.
Fallout 4 with the hype around the show and the sale, I finally picked it up. The survival mode is very fun.
Also with the shutdown of the eShop, I finally hacked my WiiU and extracted images of my games. And with that I started a new play through of Xenoblade Chronicles X.
