    In the middle of yet another New Vegas playthrough, I’m playing through Dead Money (best dlc out of the bunch) at the moment. Might use this playthrough to do some of the achievements I’ve never gotten, I think I have some gun Runner challenges left, caravan, and all the Legion achievements (fuck the Legion)

    Found a way to play PS2 emulator over steam remote play together - been playing some mortal kombat shaolin monks coop with a friend. It’s very fun

    Continuing playing through Detroit: become human and the game did not disappoint so far. By far QD’s best work

    Also tried out DayZ for the first time. Idk, I would rather walk around in a forest irl

    Avatar legends. What if the half finished shovelware slop game was actually a good fighting game? Like lobbies can only fit 2 people so no spectating and no ranked unfinished. Some of the roster are stright missing assets but its easy to ignore when just playing it feels good.

    Been playing some Kenshi after not touching the game for a while. It’s still great but incredibly glitchy.

    My general plan is to play Skeleton only, building up a small but strong squad (Skeleton Crew, get it?) that travels the land killing slavers, and probably coming to blows with the Holy Nation as well.

    Continuing to annoy myself with halo campaign evolved, finished the main story and trying the bonus missions. I should write an essay on why its so awful

    The bonus missions are a testament on not getting anything about why halo worked the way it did and just opting for the most open arenas and constant enemy spam with nothing to counter them with

    Mostly played the marvel tokon beta this weekend. I like it a lot it reminds me a lot of melty blood surprisingly (auto combos, reflect and reflect counters). Melty is the only fighting game I ever felt decent at among my friends. I’ve only really been playing fighting games since 2021 when I stated seeing my boyfriend so I’m definitely a scrub who will use those auto combos and not feel bad, still do the manual inputs tho I have standards.

    Been playing Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game and Marvel Tokon’s Open Beta. The Avatar fighting game is pretty cool, it has issues and was clearly rushed to launch just so it coincided with the new movie official launch, but the game is solid. Some of the issues is wrong localization, wrong trial inputs, lack of voice acting in some parts of the story, lack of pre-order bonus and ranked so far, which all sucks, but I hope get’s addressed soon enough because the gameplay is fire. I have also finished the story mode and it’s a silly story, but in a good way, like it doesn’t take itself seriously and just kind of play with the personality of the characters. I also have gone online and had a blast. I have only played Korra online, and even got into a FT10 set against a Kyoshi where I lost every single game and it was still fun. I can’t wait for ranked to be added.

    Now for Tokon, I’m conflicted. It seems very polished and looks like it will have a rather extensive story mode, but I’m not entirely vibing with the gameplay. I played Ghost Rider, Magik, Wolverine and Black Panther. Ghost Rider and Magik are the 2 I liked the best so far. I had a blast playing a few games against my brother because we were clearly at a similar skill level, and I liked playing some matches online, but others are just incredibly frustrating. I don’t know why, but this is might be the type of fighting game that is frustrating to me.

    Now for the actual issues I have, first they blocked Linux on purpose during this beta and giving this is the second ArcSys game with a third party IP that uses EAC and blocks Linux, DBFZ being the other one, I’m not confident they will allow Linux players on launch. Not only that but while it is really cool that the game is localized in multiple languages with dubbing, the Brasilian Portuguese dub kind of sucks, there’s good voices in there, don’t get me wrong, but Wolverine’s voice doesn’t match the character at all, Magik lost her characteristic Russian accent, Doom’s voice feels like the actor was told to just read the script with barely any intonation and Black Panther also lost her characteristic African accent, and I’m sure there might be others. What sucks even more is that for Wolverine’s case we have an official voice actor for him that does have a great matching voice but for some reason doesn’t play him in this game. And if that is not bad enough, for some fucking reason all the characters are referred by their english names when they have a proper localized name, this shit is so fucking awful, specially because the European Spanish dub uses their localized names instead of just having a bullshit english name inserted in the middle of a sentence. Also the price fucking sucks here, this shit is not localized pricing at all, I’m not getting it without a discount.

      The ads I’ve seen of it look like a sub par IP cash grab. Not looking like something worth the thirty or forty bucks they plan on trying to charge.

        Aside from the rushed release which are clearly not the devs fault the game is the opposite of that, it honestly feels like a love letter to Avatar. Every character is very unique and very thought out. They even scanned a bunch of never before seen art of the series just to put into the gallery in the game. I would recommend you to take a look on Youtube at least.

    Path of Exile 3.29 came out on Friday. 32% of players are playing winter orb elementalist. 9% playing the new luminary class. The league seems good so far.

    I have Belatro guilt but it’s getting better. I could play Elden Ring for days, but I play Belatro for a few hours and have Belatro guilt.

    I love Belatro and can’t stop. Soros is the other ongoing effort.

    I’ve been doing a Dark Souls item randomizer for the first time, it’s really fun! I randomized key items too so there’s been some funny moments with that, like climbing up through Blighttown backwards to try and enter the Depths and then finding out there’s a locked door blocking the way. The Lordvessel isn’t randomized though so I don’t have to worry about that at least.

    Also still on osu! Out of nowhere I’ve been playing more than I have in years. I just tried out the ranked multiplayer mode that I guess exists now? It seems really silly, you draw a hand of beatmaps to pick from and then you take turns playing songs, and the player with the higher score deals the difference as damage. No way to turn off chat though as far as I can see.
