Class of 09: The Re-up

It’s a sorta virtual novel type game, but it absolutely knew what it wanted to be and nails it 100% of the time. It’s teenage edge with an edge so sharp it actually breaks skin.

I went to several schools and had a lot of shitty drama growing up and it somehow nails that perfect catharsis while being funny as hell. They released an anime style trailer that made me buy it. I think it was the perfect limbic test for the whole game.

Been playing Foxhole with a buddy of mine. The game is pretty cool. An mmo with a persistent war that lasts until one side takes the entire map, which is pretty large. All the guns, ammo, vehicles, respawns, etc. are player made and need to be transported to fronts. It’s a lot to take in but it’s engaging even while you’re learning.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, though less and less each time. Baldur’s Gate 3 with my friends, Halo Infinite with my friends, and Skyrim for the nth time. Downloaded Wildlander and it’s like a whole new game.

Lies of P! I just killed the second-to-last boss, and oh boy was it tough. That game is absolutely amazing, and has surpassed pretty much every expectation I had of it.

I’ve also been playing a fair bit of Deep Rock Galactic, which is always a delight!

Been playing garden galaxys , a nice chill game.

I came back to using Linux after a few years break this week, tested a bunch of different distros, and for some reason the game I picked to load on all of them to test gaming was No Man’s Sky.

Needless to say, after I finished setting up my final distro of choice (which was Ubuntu 23.10), I’ve put many more hours into this game since.

I bought Cities Skylines 2 under the premise that I’d refund it if it ran like shit. On my PC it runs about the same as the first game. Which isn’t great, around 30-60 fps, but also not unplayable. I haven’t played a lot yet, but so far I’m enjoying it. I did get into a fight with the UI thingy that lets you designate an area for landfills/farmland/etc. It feels very counterintuitive when you build the respective building and then try to mark the area. But when you finish the building and then edit the area again it suddenly works a lot better. Maybe my brain is just weird

Vintage Story, on a good server, lots of fun! Haven’t really been playing anything else lately.

Laika: Aged Through Blood. Really unique metroidvania with motorcycle physics

Dragon Age: Origins. Haven’t played since it’s release and wanted something in the same vein as the original Baldur’s Gate…does not disappoint!

Still having a blast playing Baldur’s Gate 3! I just made it to Act 3 and there have been some very unexpected events (don’t know how to do spoiler tags) ha ha! It’s been quite an adventure so far; I’m already planning another playthrough!

Also thinking of doing another run of Fire Emblem: Three Houses to complete the house I haven’t aligned with yet.

I’m prepping for my next BG3 playthrough by playing through divinity original sin 1 and probably 2 after. I’ve never played either and I’m really enjoying the challenge so far. I’ve really been into that genre since BG launched, we will see how long it lasts!

Okay, so started Jusant.

In a weird way, it reminds me of the 2008 Prince of Persia game. Mainly because there was also a lot of climbing and platforming there, and also because of something I guess is story-related so won’t get into.

Anyway, doubt I can keep it up for much more. If they had a toggle option for the triggers, maybe, but it’s hell on my already strained wrists.

Otherwise, it seems like a nice little game. Probably just not for me.

Started the Dead Space remake.

Played up to chapter 4 and not really vibing with it. I don’t usually like ditching games when I’ve already sunk time into them, but I’m not really having much fun with it, so I might switch over to Jusant or something.

Or just watch some TV I’ve been meaning to catch up on instead. Don’t know. We’ll see.
