Another thread! Whatcha all been playing?
The recent news of the Hades II test made me finally really pick it up and try and finish it this last week
Stardew Valley, the 1.6 update adds lots of small new content in all the right places to really take the game to the experience I imagine ConcernedApe always wanted it to be. This is something like my 10th playthrough and it’s easily my favorite one since the 1st.
Whenever it comes out, I’m so excited for Haunted Chocolatier.
Just finished Chants of Sennaar. Great game, highly recommend for people who liked Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn.
Now I’m trying out the new RimWorld Anomaly expansion.
I’ve been ripping my hair out trying to get through Nodecore, a game for Minetest. It’s basically minecraft but without an inventory menu and in-world crafting. You can’t punch a tree down, but you can tear down the leaves and put together some branches to make an adze, which you can drop gravel on to cleave through one (1) log from a tree, which you can then carve with the adze to make planks, and then tool heads – it goes on like that.
So far I’ve discovered stone-tipped tools and how to melt singular items like sand. I’m trying to figure out how to do concrete in such a way that isn’t mindbogglingly tedious, and I still have to figure out how to find metal - torches don’t last forever, you see, so spelunking is an expensive and time-consuming task. If you delve too deep without proper preparations, you’re proper stuck in the dark. Subterranean pits can be save enders.
Its kind of like a puzzle game. You’re given hints as to what you can do, its just a matter of figuring out how to actually do it. At the endgame, there are machines you can put together that I presume automate a lot of the more tedious labors. I don’t actually know if that’s true though, its just what I’ve seen in screenshots. There’s a wiki, but its woefully incomplete.
I only just found this but, in case you’re still testing things, here’s a couple of hints:
- it is possible to navigate in the dark;
- it is possible to climb even without stairs, so you can usually get out of subterranean pits even tool-less; it’s extremely rare to get into an actual “save-ender” situation
- as your tech level progresses, you’ll discover ways to automate most things;
- do focus on getting ore; there are hints in the rock to where it may be.
Just finished The Witcher 3, and just started Ori and the Blind Forest.
It’s been frustratingly difficult so far lol. Which is fine, I like a bit of challenge.
I died as many times on the very last level, as in the rest of the game combined 😅
Loved it
I’m about to start Witcher 3 for the first time on my next days off work. Picked it up on a really good sale a couple weeks ago, but have been too engrossed with Helldivers 2 lately to actually start playing it.

You are in for a massive adventure! I’m considering doing a New Game+ with a crossbow build, but need some time to unwind after nearly 200 hours on the first playthrough.
Still playing Horizon Forbidden West. I’m close to exploring everything of the base game map. Once I’m done with that, I’ll focus on the rest of the side quests and finally the main story.
