    Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

    So! What are you playing this week?

    I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

    Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

    I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these "flight school" type missions that actually pay pretty well. It's a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.

    Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It's a janky messy game, but it's fun chaos to mess with for a bit. It's free on mobile, but I bought it on steam. It already has a horrendous camera and dealing with that on mobile is just asking for an aneurysm.

      Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.

          I just got my favorite game (Sekiro) to run on Linux! It wasn't hard or anything, just the first time I've gotten a Windows game to run.

            Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I've missed a lot of new content and I don't even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don't have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I've learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.

              I am still working my way through Expedition 33. I’m in Act 2 and I’d estimate about half way into that. I’m still absolutely loving it.

                I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can't get back to). I think from here on out (I'm in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I'll keep it as blind as I can.

                I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it's pretty cool. But maybe it's just because I haven't played a Metroidvania in 2 years.

                Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb's Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they'll be adding as the game progresses, but it's been a delight so far.

                  I actually try to play less, phone less and focus more on drawing, journaling and touching grass

                  But I finished expedition 33 recently and before that I played some crusader kings 3 lotr mod

                  E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

                  I could not sleep at the last day after I went through the ending at all because I was tortured by crying fits

                  Now I remember that hugging moment even now I get sad immediately and it all just leaks out of my eyes so yeah. I am resting

                      How far are you? I found chapter 2 to be a slog, in particular, but then it picks up right after that.

                        I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

                        I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

                        Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

                          If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching 'classes' based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).

                          As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!

                            Playing Core Keeper with no wiki. Having a blast, didn’t realize how much content the game has now.
                            I need to play without a wiki more often. Much more fun.

                              I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I'm already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

                                If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching 'classes' based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).

                                As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!

                                Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone's first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?

                                  Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

                                  So! What are you playing this week?

                                  I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

                                  Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

                                  Just started playing Splitgate 2!
                                  Didn't really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.

                                  As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game...

                                  Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it's nice to have one with a manageable file size.

                                    Deadlock, and too much of it at that.

                                    In PoE 1 new league waiting room (at last!), drops 6/13

                                      Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.

                                      Its been awhile since I've played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

                                        Ffxiv since the relic weapon stuff is out. Getting pretty far in that grind.

                                        Also replaying symphony of the night. Just been in the mood for it. Haven't really been playing anything new lately. Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 are out and I'll start playing them tonight, but I'm at work for the time being sadly.

                                          Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
