What are you playing?

This one? With card-driven battles, and you could only establish a few cities. It was good, and yet another victim of the appocalypse.

Yes! Well found.

Iā€™m a big RTS gamer, but I canā€™t get into Northguard. Not sure whyā€¦I guess I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing half the time. I own most of the factions, so I should try again.

Man, that was a great little game

Not sure where else this would go, but I still play Marvel Strike Force every day for 3 years now. My alliance has an open spot if anyone else still plays and is looking for a semi-serious/semi-casual alliance.

Still playing Valheim like a lunaticā€¦this game is climbing my Steam ā€œoverall play-time chartsā€ like crazy.

Well under normal circumstances it would only do that for another 7 daysā€¦because initially, I planned to disconnect from the world starting 14th of may and play Mass Effect - Legendary Edition until the entropy death of the universe (or at least until I have my 6 playthroughs done for the trilogy for each classā€¦currently halfway there with the ā€œoldā€ games). This series means a lot to me. I try to use video games to distract me from RL when the need arises, and the series helped me through an especially hard time.

Well, that will have to waitā€¦since PS5 are still not available for more than 42 nanoseconds in (digital) retail in my country yet.

Well, at least I can spin this as the ultimate gaming-related test of my patience in my lifetime.
On a related note, to get yourself into the mood, you can create your own custom Mass Effect Wallpaper over here, with multiple choices (heh) of background, characters, and moralityā€¦a nice gimmick. Since the quality is 4k I try to refrain from spamming a metric ton of them here.

Also, you can get the COMPLETE Mass Effect trilogy Soundtrack here for free for a limited time (including some other bonus stuff like digital art books, etc)

Not that I needed it since I purchased it already back when the OST released, but it is a nice thing to have for free anyways since it is one of the best Science Fiction OST out there.

Bravely Default 2 on the Switchā€¦ nearly 70 hours in and am working on 100%'ing the game. My toons are nearly unbeatable, except by the upgraded bosses at the endgame who require a bit more strategy than spamming attacks.

Even if I donā€™t 100% it Iā€™ve gotten my moneyā€™s worth - highly recommended for fans of RPGs with job systems.

It is certainly on my wish list. I recently finished a ridiculously long play through of Deagon Quest XI, which I found to be a bit plain and tedious, so Iā€™m on my intra-RPG break, but Bravely Default II may be my next deep dive.

You wonā€™t regret it - even in the end game, the min / maxing of gear and job abilities is a game in and of itself!

So, I grabbed this game when you mentioned it, decided to keep it and wait for graduation from early access.

Solid game! A little unclear at times but I am sure that comes with practice. Reminds me a lot of Card Hunter with the builds etc, but without the cartoons and humour.

I like it!

Has anyone tried Card Hog? It is on iOS and is yet another of the card-based dungeon crawls. On the surface it looks like Meterofall: Krumitā€™s Tale, but I havenā€™t played it. It seems to have good reviews.

I own it on Steam and enjoy it. Itā€™s still in EA on Steam, though, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, itā€™s pretty inexpensive!

I was in the Card Hog beta for a while and found it kind of repetitive. It reminded more of a game like Endless Cards than Krumitā€™s Taleā€”more of a high score chaser thatā€™s fun for a while but not terribly deep. Iā€™m sure the dev has improved it since then, though. Itā€™s fun enough to give it a shot.

I really wanted to get to max level, but struggled with this last expansion. I had intended to play this weekend, but then saw that Monster Hunter World was on sale for $20, so habe played that instead of WoW this weekend. lol

Hahahaha, is your wife insane?

Iā€™ve seen some commercials for WoW lately and they make me want to dive back in, too, but it has been quite a long time since I played and I am neck deep in ffxiv. Iā€™ve also had a small jonesing for some Guild Wars lately but it is impossible to juggle multiple mmorpgs.

Strangely, my wife has not once suggested I play oneā€¦

I should also go back and finish FF14 at some point, I was just at the beginning of the Shadowbringers storyline when I stopped.

My problem with FF14 was that my favorite class is the Dancer. But seriously? The Warrior of Light is a dancer? While I also enjoyed Samurai, which seemed much more WoLish, I really love the dancer play style. But the whole Dancing WoL just bothered me. :laughing:

I got my DNC to 80 but I wasnā€™t a huge fan of the play style. The rotation is really basic and it is a fairly brain dead job. Flashy, yes, but not all that dynamic. Iā€™m working on my first ever tank right now (WAR), which I thought I would hate but am enjoying quite a lot. I didnā€™t want the responsibility of both tanking and leading dungeons but I find that it is far more engaging than any of the DPS classes Iā€™ve played, who all pretty much just require you to go through your rotations non-stop and avoid enemy attacks.

The new expansion comes out in November so now is a great time to finish Shadowbringers in anticipation.

Another huge shout out to the team at Handleabra. They take some really cool IP and create efficient and effective board game adaptations.

I reckon I have pumped more money their way than any other dev.

Sentinels of the Multiverse is very good, and Spirit Island is just magnificent.
