games

Balatro has been eating up a lot of my time. Was playing Hardcore on Diablo 3, but then the server crashed and killed my monk (wasn't even anywhere dangerous). So I got tilted back to Balatro. Gonna finish up my draft on Magic Arena then play some Vermintide 2.

Last week, after 137 hours, I finally finished Trails into Reverie. It was good. It's a pure fanservice game and a pretty okay epilogue for the Cold Steel and Crossbell characters. The cast for Cold Steel/Crossbell has ballooned to 40+ characters and it was nice to be able to play as them all and create teams for whoever you liked. It's more a third Crossbell game than a Cold Steel game and you finally get some much needed closure for the Crossbell characters and their battle for independence. The story did get kinda wacky at times lol, but I'm glad to finally move onto Trails through Daybreak and onto another new country/story arc.

I'm currently playing the first Ace Attorney trilogy and enjoying it. I'm replaying AA1 after many years and can't wait to play the other games in the trilogy. I'm on the final case of AA1 and will try to finish it tonight.

Started another attempt at pathologic 2. It’s actually been quite a while since I’ve played any games, but patho has been showing up in my dreams lately, so I decided to give it another go

Victoria 3, finished my Japan playthrough and started a Prussia->Germany playthrough to try for the Hegemony goals achievement. While I wasn't paying attention, Great Britain has conquered Vietnam before 1880, and now they're trying to protectorate Egypt which seems... a bit much. Heavenly Kingdom shattered Qing so I've been going in and picking up some of the smaller countries as protectorates to get ready for the "control 40% of the world's population" goals. Might try to grab some GB stuff by joining in the Egypt war, idk.

My economy is so bad lmao -300k, way into the red, but interest is only like -5k so who cares, build more fuckin' iron mines.

I finally beat the final campaign level in Brigador (a top down isometric mech game with crazy good art, atmosphere, and writing, albeit made by at least one bigot) and Im thinking of seeing whats new in Zero Sievert (a top down 2D survival shooter with rpg elements that draws heavily from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Escape From Tarkov) tonight since I haven't checked in on that game in a hot minute. I really wanted to get started on Heaven Will Be Mine (space lesbian mech pilot visual novel, the @halimede twitter account is based off of a character from this) but it just doesnt want to run through proton and now Im kicking myself for not getting the version on itch.io thats built to be linux compatible.

Got bored of Tarkov PvE and I've been revisiting some strategy games, playin some Company of Heroes 2, bought the Ardennes assault dlc on sale and now I seethe at every cutscene about the -oh so heroic Yanks and their toils- while I had to grimace my way through the main campaign which constantly villainized the very Soviets you were playing as, fighting against the fuckin Nazis who barely get any mention or condemnation.

Kirby forgotten land. I have this one last closseum gauntlet to get through and the secret bosses are annoying

Path of Exile! Just hit 93 on my icicle mine deadeye, a hair under 6m dps and the build is mostly "done" in that relevant upgrades would be dozens of div when I have made ~65 all league.

Currently focused on the "delve to 400 depth" challenge.

Guild Wars 2. Sometimes, I just mess around on the mounts without any actual goal in mind.
