Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven’t beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

    Been playing a heavily-modded playthrough of Minecraft. Am enjoying building up my world to look alive.

    BLUE PRINCE! IT IS SO GOOD!

    It’s a puzzle game like Myst, and a puzzle game like a board game sort of. So it has short term and long term puzzles. It’s so good! I’m obsessed.

    Working my way through act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3. I feel like I’ve done just about everything in the Temple of Shar except the ::: spoiler spoiler fight against Balthazar. :::I tried it a couple times but got whooped a little too easily. Shadowheart is a beast though. She’s usually the last one alive when I try it. She can take out all the mobs by herself. It’s gonna take the whole squad to win the fight. I need to get my party up a level or two. Me being a defenseless bard is pretty tough. In all my attempts I’ve been sniped turn one with little recourse to get revived.

    Then on top of that I’ve put time in AI Wars 2 and fighting games. AI Wars 2 is so cool. Complete information overload and a wonky UI but it’s got the addicting qualities I like in video games.

    Tekken has been calling me as like a stress reliever. Then the Marvel announcement yesterday made me fire up Strive and SF6. I might put real effort into Strive this time. I’ve always wanted to but it’s never quite clicked like SF, and Tekken. And yes I installed DBFZ out of sheer joy yesterday. That rollback better be good.

      Strive is so good. Any top 8 of that game is just full of people using the RC system in really clever ways.

    I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.

    Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.

      It certainly looks like it would fill the Skyrim void my brain sometimes has! But also new story that I might finish because I hated skyrims one mostly.

        I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.

      Mixed bag for me. Love the puzzle aspects. Hate the roguelike elements. A lot of the puzzles relying on lucky draws makes testing theories for the more complex things a PitA.

        Oh look, another day where I barely ever even got rooms that had more than one door, and now that my winding path has hit a dead end all my resources are useless. Next day I guess.

          Just wait till you find out about the puzzles that require certain rooms to spawn in certain places so you can get the chance to spawn a special room from that room.

          Or that some rooms being drafted in certain squares will be changed with key puzzle information now visible.

      I loved Blue Prince. It’s still putting up a good fight for my personal GOTY despite having just finished and loved Clair Obscur.

      Play it, take notes, enjoy it. Games like it don’t come along often.

        I’m working on the letter puzzle related to the pictures right now. Definitely couldn’t remember that without writing it down.

          Fun! Keeping a notebook is like half the fun of Blue Prince, at least it was for me. Same with Obra Dinn. I ended up with like 50 pages of notes for Blue Prince, as well as hundreds of screenshots.

      Blue prince is a DEEP HOLE. Just solved my fourth sigil. It is really relaxing to go in play one day, put it down for a couple of days ruminating on what you learned, then pick it back up and play 2 more days.

        Oh god, what sigils? I don’t think I’ve even gotten to that yet. I’ve opened up the side yard and the mine, and got 3 of the 4 torches lit. There are so many puzzles! I think it’s better to know nothing, though, and discover it along the way.

    I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I’m already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

      I am som enthralled by Drova, you should give the Myrtana: Archolos mod a try. Really liked it.

        Worry not, I already played it long ago! I’m patiently and eagerly waiting for them to release the Mod of The Decade edition to re-play it again, I’ll definitely try the city guard path and I’m very excited to see what the teased water mage path will be.

    Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.

      Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

        I’ve only found two that were movable. I don’t know if I’m somehow missing them or something? I think I’m a decent way into the game. I’m at the point where you actually go into the castle and talk to the duke or whatever.

          I think there’s 5 movable stones, and only one missable. But very few stationary ones. If it’s nagging you enough, there’s some mods, one gives infinite stamina outside combat.

          And remember: Wolfs hunt in packs!
