What are you playing?

They probably are, I’m just very slow.

I might have missed it, but did anyone get into Motorsport Manager Online? The free to play MmO version?

Holy crap this has hooks in me over quarantine time.

I played it for about 3 days and then forgot about it.

I loved the original game and sort of liked MM2, but I must have played enough of it. I don’t think the series has evolved enough to keep me interested at this point.

If you enjoy Motorsport Manager, though, it’s pretty great. That game always begged for some sort of online play.

It is better than the premium versions of the game? I imagined it to be Motorsport Manager with free-to-play garbage like timers and multiple currencies…

If anyone likes Motorsport manager, and has Netflix, you should check out F1: Drive to Survive. I’m not even much at all in to F1 but couldn’t help but binge the first series yesterday with the wife (who totally doesn’t care for cars).

Oh damn, got to the last boss archdemon today, it was a spammy overwhelming mix.

I died, will likely die a few times as I try figure out mechanics, and no where to grind. Might be where I drop it, or learn to love it

I’m an F1 dan and quite like the docuseries. It helps that Haas is my team and the show makes a star out of our principal. Too bad much of the drama revolves around our failures…

Finally beat the boss. Typically it adds the same content but with bigger numbers, which I am not interested.

Mechanics were slightly annoying when creating variety. There were mobs you can’t kill too quick or they regenerate. There are mobs you can only damage once every 5 secs. It just added time to a back and slash without adding much else

And… I have resumes to WoW.

I am at work for two straight weeks, and this game is like mental Panadol. An hour and a half a night and I can zombie my way through anything.

Raced through My Friend Pedro. Very fun, but a little short. Quite addictive though. I wish there were more game modes; and the platforming gets a little too intricate later on, whereas I signed up for slo-mo shoot em 'uppings.

I finally decided to learn Dragon Castle and it is a great little board game app. It looks great, plays great, and has great multiplayer. My wife and I are becoming addicted. Give it a shot if you’re looking for a board game app because it seems to have failed to pick up any following it deserves to be played.

Dragon Castle came out around the same time as Azul but got ignored; it’s probably the better game.

I haven’t played on the table but the quality of the app makes me want to get it. And I also like the game better than Azul.

Spider-Man, although I spent more time taking photos than swinging. Photo mode has some nice features.

FFVII Remake is absolutely amazing. I speak as a FF enthusiast so I can’t say how the game would be for someone not blinded by nostalgia, but it just does so many good new things while also remaking a great game.

When I have little bits of free time here and there I’ve begun achievement hunting in Sagrada. I know achievements mean next to nothing, especially where there is no way I k ow of to even compare trophies, but I still enjoy getting those little popups from time to time. Sagrada does trophies right as each is either tied to beating a campaign level or a completely doable gameplay challenge like winning with a certain number of points or scoring certain amounts with your private objective. I can’t stand when a game ties achievements to ridiculous numbers of games played (win 10,000 games? Really, Lost Cities?) or a 1-in-a-million occurrence (the odds of all the cards falling in your favor for some of the Ascension achievements is nuts).

I’ve been playing Worldend Syndrome on Switch, which is my first real foray in a console visual novel, and it’s enjoyable, though, from a gaming standpoint, not a “game” so much. I admire it for taking you along through the game for a while and then abruptly switching gears and plopping you into the “real” game so to speak. It was jarring, but in a good way. but the “real” game is not much more than trying to find your way through to different paths that solve the mystery/romance a different young lady. And the way you do that is more or less by almost random guesswork. So at this point, I’ve started using a guide so that I can actually arrive at the different endings.

I’m hoping to try another VN after this one that is a little less guessy. (Taking suggestions!)

Also playing Hearthstone. The recent expansion is…after a couple weeks of playing it, not that great. They created a new class that was (is?) so broken, they’ve had to release two nerfing updates in two weeks. And the meta has settled in so quickly and so firmly already that I find most games completely unsurprising. I think this was an interesting try by Blizzard, but a fail (unless they do a major round of adjustments that actually level the classes effectively).

Can anyone get Splendor to work on iOS? It crashed all the time for me but I’m not sure if it is my hardware or the app.

Worked fine for me just now.

It used to be crashtastic for me but then they fixed that crash about 1 year ago. Now it’s fine. iOS 13-ish and Xs Max.
