Whatcha all been playing? I’ve been playing a ton of Mario world ROM hacks, including some kaizo ones. Also started doing my oblivion playthrough again!
Oxygen not included. Today my cook Splug decided to take a nap in the toilet:
Then I dug to the asteroid’s molten core and dropped a ton of water in. It filled the whole base with high pressure steam and killed everybody.
I just got into act 3 of Balder’s gate and took a break because I don’t want the game to end. Instead, I have fallen back on my old favorite on the steam deck, Dave the Diver.
Townscaper. I find it so soothing to play because it has no expectations of me and no people. Just lots of lovely, inoffensive buildings that sometimes take unexpected forms. It’s been fun experimenting with different configurations to see if I can find any blocks I haven’t seen yet.
I’m also chipping away at my koi collection in Zen Koi. Another game that does not expect much of me and has no people in it. The Pro edition on Play Pass doesn’t have cooldowns or microtransactions either, so I can just swim around eating things and breeding new colours of fish.
Suffice to say, there’s a theme in the games I’m enjoying right now: “humans not welcome, just let me relax”.
Mad Max - Played for a couple days this week, taking down camps and gathering scrap, and I think I got it out of my system. For now.
Metro: Last Light - Finally got around to finishing the playthrough that I started a few weeks ago, plus ran through all the DLCs. I had a lot of fun with them, except for Heavy Squad and The Tower. Haven’t quite got the hang of those two yet. The Developer pack was pretty cool with the ‘museum’ and shooting range/arena. I liked the little challenges.
Diablo 3: Season 29 - Working on the conquests for this season. Completing one will finish the Destroyer chapter for me, but it’s taking a little time.
I’m still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. Just finished the water temple. I spent so much time aimlessly wandering so I’ve decided to push on and finish out some quests.
I also started Soul Hackers 2 and I love Ringo and her personality already.
I sprained my foot and had to stay in this weekend, so I got back to TOTK for the first time in like a month. I’m about 25hrs in and had a slightly different start? I did the Water Temple basically first, THEN got sidetracked, wandered around doing shrines and side quests.
