Happy weekend everybody. I finished a playthrough of XCOM 2 and now have started a new playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, as “The Dark Urge”. Hope everyone’s summer has been going well

I’m playing Cookie Clicker and have been playing Cookie Clicker for over a decade and have no plans to ever stop playing Cookie Clicker.
My death plans include a laptop shoved in a closet still playing Progress Quest until someone finally cleans it out.
Been emulating a lot of PSP games lately, and also inexplicably on a racing game kick. I think cause they usually have lots of things to unlock, and unlocking shit makes brain go brrrrrr.
To that end, Burnout Dominator has been my mot played the past week, but also slowly playing the X Men Origins game, and have OutRun 2006 to start in a little bit here.
Outrun 2006 is so fucking good. Fucking love that game, just absolute arcade perfection
Didn’t really like death sorceries when Elden Ring released, but I’ve heard Shadow of the Erdtree has some decent items for faith/int casters and some fun death sorceries so I’m blitzing through base Elden Ring to have a character ready to use them.
Got 100% completion in Supraland the other day and started Six Inches Under. Might push for 100% on it as well just for completeness.
Giving Turtle WoW another go, got my bear druid Hexbear to 20 last night on HC mode.
Ay sick and welcome (re-welcome) to Turtle WoW! I’ve started leveling on the pvp server myself, enjoying it a lot so far
Been playing there for more than a year and it’s great! Less reactionary than the average server since mods care and react quickly.
Yeah I’ve played on a few private servers over the last several years and the baseline is usually “Well what’s wrong with fascism exactly? I thought Hitler was a pretty ok guy.”
For anyone interested, ACAB (All Cats Are Beautiful) is a good guild to join on the PvE server. Good people there
Last night I drank a bit to much beer and went on a bit of a gaming binge, played about an hour of Stardew, fifteen minutes of Brigador, half an hour of Workers and Resources and then did one Hades run. Overall pretty fun night but I hit the hay a little late and woke up mildly hungover.
Incredibly impressed that you can play Workers and Resources for only half an hour at a time.
My Republic is pretty built out at this point, so now I’m mostly tweaking things, like trying to produce more goods for export to pay off a loan I took from the Soviet Bloc.
I find the real time sink is when you get things started, once you got a decent layout for the main industry trees you can kind of let things run for a bit.
Edit: also fyi I’m playing on a pretty easy mode.
BRIGADOR MENTIONED
Fucking love that game, its a hidden gem of a title!
Snowrunner! I’m doing it IRL rn and when I get home this evening and get settled for the night, I’m playing actual Snowrunner
Trying to transition to mid-game in the new Oxygen Not Included DLC. Accidentally released a pocket of several hundreds of kilograms of oxygen into my base. At least I don’t need to worry about breathability for many, many cycles
Live reaction of my duplicants (the little dudes that run my colony) looking at all the decor items I built to counteract their long-term perma-“popped eardrums” stress debuff:
Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord
Picked the game up again from a few months ago. After a few more days my paramilitary company grew enough to turn it into a kingdom, allowing me to pass edicts/policies, a few of which can greatly increase maximum party size. I have been running around with 410 of my closest boys and girls demolishing any size of army from castles and up to 700 man armies in open field fights. No multi-party army necessary. My enemies keep replenishing only to be destroyed while their armies are mostly recruits and level 2 pushovers. I have 3.3 millon denars. Just think how much I’ll be able to buy after the reval!
This is where my Mount and Blade campaigns usually end after getting a kingdom going. I wonder if the new “Kingdoms without fiefs are destroyed” rule helps the whack a mole.
My partner and I got into Diablo IV on Xbox because it is on game pass and can be played split screen. Probably more of that and trying out the Hexcraft server later
I’ve been on Pokemon showdown, playing VGC. Regulation H is such a breath of fresh air, they banned every single legendary and sub-legendary. The power level is a lot lower and less focused on absurdly powerful legendaries one-shotting everything.
It’s a lot like Regulation A except this time with Rillaboom, Incineroar, and the ridiculous Ursulana forms. If anyone has been curious about competitive Pokemon, now is a great time to give it a shot.
I tried an Excadrill-Tyrantiar team but it just lost to Incineroar. Two physical attackers and only one clear amulet is unfortunate. I’ve been having a bit more success with a Baxcalibur snow team, with Bax being my main setup and offensive mon and basically everything else to assist it. Hisuian Ninetails sets up snow and aurora veil, H-Arcanine and Meowscarada get rid of problematic matchups like Gholdengo, and Indeedee runs follow me to help Bax setup. Also I have trick room on Indeedee but never use it for myself, only to undo opponents trick room. It’s so satisfying to predict your opponent to setup trick room and take it down in the same turn.
Same as last week, I’m about to make these threads boring as hell. Continuing SWTOR, trying to achieve a faux Legendary status by finishing the stories on two servers
Continuing my playthrough of Fallout: London. I’ll save my full thoughts so far for a future possible review. By and large, this is a full-scale Fallout spinoff. There are certain game design issues, and problems with some of the writing. Quality is varied, some of the game is fantastic, and other parts miss the mark. However, if you’re starved for Fallout content, this is the best release in many years.
If you want to give it a go, maybe wait for one or two major patches, there has been a hotfix but it’s still rough around the edges.
The biggest takeaway though is that it makes me crave Fallout 4: New Vegas’ release, and has me stoked for Fallout: Miami and Fallout: Cascadia, all 3 of which are under heavy and active development. It also has me wanting to replay New Vegas, but with a personally built mega-modpack.
Tips for Survival: sleep often, go to west rather than east when you first emerge, and consider focusing on Gunslinger or Rifleman for a build. Early game pistols are strong. Do not take Kamikaze without high investment in a full VATS build, because stacked with Survival you will die in a single hit frequently.
i looked at my save file and realized i had been playing that game for over a day. it’s so fun, genuinely the best mod i’ve played in a long time
I’m around 30 hours in too! I’m stubbornly sticking with survival mode, haha.
One thing I will say, I genuinely adore the “biome” aspect with the different districts. They each have their own flavors of raiders and flora/fauna, something the official Fallout games haven’t quite nailed yet.
Any Londoner probably appreciates the mod’s references far more than I can, but I have the main games for that, haha.
who’s your favorite faction so far? i’m a big fan of the Pistols. i don’t know if they’re considered a faction but i love the Thamesfolk too
I love the Pistols! Thought naming a dog “Anarchy” was a bit too on-the-nose, but otherwise a solid group with a lot of funk to them, and not portrayed as worthless or too idealistic to ever get anything done, as Anarchists are often miscategorized in media.
The Thamesfolk are a cool, unique faction that I actually really appreciate creatively.
Overall, I still really enjoy the Vagabonds, they are just a fun group character-wise.
I also really like the Beefeaters, genuinely scary.
the first time i fought the beefeaters it really felt like a life-or-death situation. i really like them and wish i could join as an evil character
i tried playing this a few times, including a few times today, but it crashes on me so constantly i just can’t be bothered with trying anymore
I have a high tolerance from being a huge fan of mods to begin with, I suppose. If you haven’t updated it, try that, if you have, best to wait a few patches.
oh… i didn’t know there was an update, that seems to have fixed it! at least i’m able to spend more than 3 minutes in the game without it crashing to desktop so far
Yep! They added Buffout 4, and fixed many bugs. Still only a hotfix though, there are a good bit of bugs left.
thanks for the info!
I’m playing more and more indie metroidvania. I’m switching between “9 Years of Shadows” for the first time and once again playing “Blasphemous 2”
I’ve been doing a playthrough of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous for a bit, and that will probably take awhile to finish. I’m doing a playthrough as a chaotic good Aasimar warpriest of Gorum. I’m thinking of going with the angel mythic path, but I might do golden dragon. I haven’t finished act 1, so I have some time to feel it out still.
Warning you now that Golden Dragon is very limp, you can really only do it in act 5 and it doesn’t get a lot of meat. Angel is fleshed out but I don’t like Angel and I think the devs agree tbh, Owlcat does not present lawful alignment very flatteringly in the long run. Azata get all the proper good guy moments imo
