    Having some fun in palworld with a friend, but I’m obssessed with Immortal Life now, a farming game with a wuxia theme where you can use chinese magic to help you water crops and stuff, very cute and a nice QoL for these games.

    The Finals is probably one of the better shooters to come out in a minute, especially if you like lots of gatgets and tools. My only real complaint is that devs are reactive to game balance and don’t seem to think about how the game will ultimately be played.

    Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
    Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

    Just got Snufkin: Melody of the Moomin Valley

    Originally for my wife, but she got annoyed by the movement too fast. My favourite review of the game so far:

    "In this game you will play as the world famous criminal and ecoterrorist Snufkin.

    Snufkin is unemployed but charismatic traveller-musician helping various interesting creatures of Moominvalley, all while sabotaging typical autocratic right-winger Hemulen’s plans on making up mundane rules and destroying everything good and beautiful.

    Cops in the game are represented evil and stupid, as they are in real life, so I would recommend the game for the whole family as educational game.

    On the serious note: Gameplay is fine for this type of game. The core is in the atmosphere, dialogue and sound design which all are great. So far the experience has been smooth, fun and relaxing. Would recommend, but adults should not expect much challenge here."

    Playing 5 games right now…

    • Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer

    • Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game

    • Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game

    • Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical

    • Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can’t believe I never played it years ago

      My game tips for each game

      spoiler
      • Mega Man (original NES version) - keep shooting while jumping forward, keep distance from the bosses, time jumps based on audio cues
      • Lonely Mountains Downhill - take the shortcuts whenever possible
      • Voices of the Void - upgrade your server stability stat as soon as possible, use the toilet to restore stamina, buy shrimp packs
      • Sam & Max Hit the Road - read the game manual for minigame instructions, check each screen very carefully
      • Skies Of Arcadia - use gear grease in ship battles, use increm magic to increase attack, red and purple magic are strong against each other

      SoA is excellent but the random battles are too much. I’ve played it so many times over the years but never actually completed it!

    I recently set up a Xbox 360 emulator using Xenia to play all Gears of War games in my PC, and had a lot of fun setting things up (Xenia is way harder to set up than any other emulator I’ve used): patching, tweaking and testing stuff, modding some files, and obviusly playing.

    Lots of fun playing, and the games have aged pretty well, IMO.
