I am on chapter 8 of FF 13 right now and I really should just finish it, and am really enjoying the story, but I HATE the ATB combat system, so I have been working on it slowly for like a year.

Iāve had those same thoughts. I used to love sinking 40+ hours into console games, and now Iāll never finish anything that long. Having kidsāand therefore feeling like I donāt have as much time to playāis part of the issue. But Iāll find myself not starting some games until I have a long period of time just to get started.
The stupid thing is that I probably put as much time into short, simple games on my phone or iPad as I would into finishing a solid RPG.

I havenāt played FF13 since it launched but I do remember the final chapter or two being a much welcome change to the game. Youāll see what I mean. Unfortunately, the youāre stuck with the battle system.

All the above.
I think ā¦ I wonāt start X until I have a real chunk of time available, which is not now, so I will just play this easy to pick up game and then find that I have spent a right old chunk just as @geigerm says.
I really want to play The Witcher 3 but I stopped The Witcher 2 at the start of chapter 3 (@JammaTal syndrome). I canāt restart until I have time to spend mugging up again on the systems and remembering what fits where. So I just do another Shadowrun mission instead.
No complaints - this is a first world problem.
Also the weird thing ā¦ sometimes there is an element of āI will really enjoy that so I will save it up, keep on looking forward to it, and play this other merely great thing insteadā. That probably applies to Dishonored 2 for me right now.

Got the email on that todayā¦ another one for which Iām stuck waiting for the iOS port.
Ascension just updated with Valley of the Ancients expansion. I can only it assume it adds more cards and some form of mechanic to the game - havenāt played it yet, although Iāll certainly buy it. Send all matches my way.

Your assumption made me laugh.

Shall I send you a separate invite just for this one, or did we want to end one of our other games? 
Youāre not alone. Life does just get in the way. Iāve been playing the heck out of Invisble Inc on my iPad recently, because for some reason that is the game i need right now, but it is just so adaptable to whatever else is going on. I can play one level, or a couple of turns of a level, or blast through a whole campaign.
I would love to sit down and spend time with a game (I really want to finally finish Signal from Tƶlva) but it isnāt going to happen. Heck, i havenāt even been playing Into the Breach because that requires a laptop, and nope.

Some guy I feel like I recognize for some reason posted over at BGG that Love Letter is out now on iOS. He also posted that it continually crashes on his iPhone XS Max. Since I literally bought the same phone yesterday, Iām not rushing out to buy and test Love Letter. The app description does state that there is online, but this is Asmodee so you know the odds of it being asynchronous are about the same as the last Mega Millions drawing.

Was anyone else on the edge of their seat when they brought 2K out at the Apple announcement event? I really thought theyād drop XCOM2ā¦ but no, some NBA nonsense. Iād have bought the new iPad for XCOM2 without batting an eyeā¦

I was not watching, but I think I associate 2k with their NBA games more than anything else, just based on popularity. Granted, I like their strategy titles better, but I (and we) am in the vast minority.
Does anyone have a web-based alternative to AppShopper? I donāt know what the deal is but it has not really been updating the last couple months.

Same here. I havenāt received a version update or price drop e-mail notification in what feels like over 3-4 months.
The only one working since some months is: https://appsliced.co/
Not as simple as app shopper but gets the work done.
