Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, did lots of side missions (green ones) that I had started before but hadn't finished. Still have quite a few of them left though.

It's nice to see how the city evolves with our actions.

Also started Chapter 11, want to say some spoilery stuff about that, but want to finish the chapter first see how they deal with it.

Chapter 11 storybut if they redeemed you-know-who without giving a VERY solid reason, I am going to be very annoyed by the story.

I am still annoyed how Murderess joins our team after how she behaved, instead of getting any kind of punishment.

Chapter 11 brings you to skell-less fighting, and since I was used to beating everyone in few seconds, it feels so slow to kill people without skell now. And there are tons of enemies to fight there, so thinking about loading my previous save and leveling up a bit more before coming back to it.

Also played more Marvel's Midnight Suns and Ghost of Tsushima, but nothing new to add about either of them.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Glad you got power back.

How's the battery life of Switch 2? It has larger battery, but also a larger screen and more powerful cpu / gpu.

What was that power-up thingy you were doing in the clip? And why was your opponent letting you do it? Unless it was just some kind of taunt.

My save file says I got a little over three hours into the game. I think I ran the battery down to around 20% before going to bed. I did try to use a portable charger, but it still drained faster than it charged and so I decided I should save that juice for my phone. Honestly not great for a power outage situation, but under normal circumstances I'm never gonna be far from an outlet so eh.

Concentrate builds GRD, which is a sort of tug-of-war meter. Every time the circular timer in the bottom center completes, whoever has more GRD goes into a state called Vorpal, which grants some key buffs that effectively put them in control to press their advantage state. For Vatista, being able to just set a gem in front of me and Concentrate is a way of forcing my opponent to make a move - I have the life lead, I have Vorpal, I'll wait. They tried to just Concentrate back at first, but since I'm already ahead that just maintains an equilibrium in my favor.

Battery life doesn't sound that bad then, but of course heavier games will dain it quicker.

Thanks for the info. Do you play Street Fighter? I recently got SF6 on PS5. I am a VERY casual player though. But I wont' mind if you have some general tips 😀

SF4 was my gateway drug into fighting games, and I've put a solid chunk of time into playing the classic titles on FightCade, but I have no interest in anything Capcom does today. Skullgirls, UNI2, and Them's Fightin' Herds are my main games.

spoilerthe 3DS version
had me like "damn, where have these games been all my life? oh, mostly on things I don't own."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Hehe, interesting. Any special reason for this Capcom love?

Them's Fightin' Herds looks interesting, may give it a try some day.
