Sorry folks, forgot to post this yesterday because daylight savings fucked me up. Anyway I’ve poured every available minute of free time ive had into Persona 5 royal. Hope everyone had a great weekend and your week is off to a great start.
Slay the Spire 2
It’s good. Love the new skeleton character and the big adams family hand
Looks so cozy when they are at the camp site.
I decided to give TurtleWoW a try and am getting pulled in
Be careful with that thing, I hear RFK Jr’s Brainworm plays it sometimes.
Was playing some CS 1.5 with bots on the won build of half-life I got off the internet archive. Actually won a game against the bots even if my aim sucks.
finally got around to Armored Core 6, it’s fucking siiiiiiiiiick, play it if you have any interest in the AC series
it’s a reboot (like most of the games in the series) so you don’t need to play any of the other games to understand the story or anythingIt’s so fucking cool
I’m grinding out the last few achievements in FTL. I swear to god, if I go another run on the Crystal Cruiser without getting long-range scanners for that blow up a ton of rock ships achievement, I am gonna lose it.
FUCKIN GOT IT GOD DAMN FINALLY
On the urging of a family member, Stardew Valley.
The messages I sent as I spun up my farm probably reveal a much more sickening vista of my inner workings than I intended.
1 hour later…
Parsnip seeds set you back 20g, parsnips sell for 35g. all I need to do is sell at least 2 parsnips in order to buy a third. It takes four days for a parnsip to grow and you start with 15. Giving me 26 seeds after the first harvest. By my claculations it will take me 521 in game days to convert all arable farmland into parsnip.
The fact that I cannot fill all my little farming squares with flax and say I have 40 yards of linen is a travesty. Get on it, Eric!
Forget parsnips, build a windmill and plant wheat and mill it into flour. You will drown in money
But how would that help me to obtain further parsnip?
I have been playing Esoteric Ebb and its good folks. I like it.
It is very disco elysium but has its own DNA. I have only played it for over 6h and I legit had at least 3 times where I laughed out loud. It can be very funny at times. It feels more whimsical and “cute” than Disco ? But yeah its good.

How long did it take you if you finished it in 2 sittings ? Im still on the 2nd day after 6h. I dont think its as good as Disco but I do think Esoteric is a special little game and im happy it exists. Also yeah Esoteric feels more upbeat than disco.

I really disliked the combat I saw in the demo (wow I failed every dialogue option with the skeleton and they just repeat, failed those too and then failed the death saves) and it kinda turned me off it. How much of that is there?
I had 3 combat encounters that took maybe 10-15mins at most in about 7h of gameplay . So far only 1 of these 3 combat encounters seemed mandatory. If you are worried you wont like the game cause you wont like the combat… there is very little combat in the game. Plus I dont think you are supposed to go down there on the first day anyways. Get some levels first.
At least based on my game time.
Good to know.
Finally got around to getting into Clair Obscur to see what all the hype is about.
I went full
when I saw the game had a world map. It’s a small thing, but I always like JRPGs that have them. It feels more like I’m on an actual globe trotting adventure.Back on my nioh 2 bullshit. Because I am not a clever person I rolled a new character rather than go back to the one I already have on like abyss 70 or so, because “that means I can learn to play a different build organically”. I should be painlessly destroyed and my brain dissected so people can understand wtf is wrong with me. I now have one level ~740 and one ~500 character.
Tonfas are fun, with the right rhythm you can just bully the enemies to death. Death by a thousand cuts. Still frustrating how in later game cycles the enemies are just damage sponges.

Someone recently improved the CPU emulation for the CV1000 games in MAME so that the slowdown is more accurate, so I’ve been trying that out a bit. It feels pretty good to me, the games are definitely a lot more playable now! I’m not sure how accurate they are compared to the actual arcade PCBs, but for the games I’ve played the official ports of I haven’t noticed anything strange. Although, the ports themselves don’t always have the best accuracy. In any case it definitely seems good enough to seriously play now, so I’ve been practicing Espgaluda II. I don’t think a 1cc is possible for me yet, but once I’ve finished practicing I think I can bring it down to 2 or 3 credits.
I also played some Melee netplay last night maybe against my better judgement. I love the game but it’s hard to get invested when I can’t enter locals. I really want to go play but it’s so many people crammed into such a small space. I always wear a high quality respirator while I’m out but even so it’s still not very safe, the TO’s here treat COVID safety like an afterthought and do some half-ass “masks recommended, vax required” rule that wouldn’t be meaningfully effective even if they actually ever enforced it at all. I hate being forced out of my hobby because the community thinks public safety and accessibility are optional, but I’ve tried discussing the issue with them and neither the organizers nor the players care and I can’t host my own tourneys so I don’t know what else to do.
Got back into RuneScape 3 for a hot minute. Probably while I still have the itch, wrap up 99 crafting
Finally cracked into Lunacid, which is superb in a “which way was I going?” Kind of way
Finished Ace Combat 7, fuck tunnels. Holy shit the politics are horrendous, actual real-world planes are used and fetishized as well. Apparently the USian manufacturers insisted that no bad guys fly F-35s while Sukhoi said “we don’t care do whatever”. Got a challenge medal for beating Mihaly in under 5 minutes without special missiles because I WAS TOLD THIS WAS GOING TO BE A BOMBING MISSION SO I BROUGHT A BOMBER. RIP in piss feudal nobility, you can now be a knight of six feet under the ground.
Warframe, got the Hespar and Sigma & Octantis, meaning I now only have the two Vandals from ESO to obtain and then I can finally stop. Now naturally those will take me months to farm, so I’m not done yet.
I’ve been hitting Marathon hard. It’s very good. It’s more casual than Tarkov and more PVP focused than Arc Raiders, with quick runs and a pacing that is reminiscent of battle royales. The gunplay is excellent and has a bit of aim assist so you don’t have to be cracked to have a chance if you play smart. The sound design is excellent and the music is lovely - the whole art direction is confident and different and I’m just happy to see a shooter that actually has some personality. Somehow on top of this it’s got an interesting story and world building to piece together and quite in-depth upgrade and build systems.
Also chuds are extremely pissed about it.
