My opinion of humanity as a whole is pretty low but… Those can’t really be real. Right? Right?

I. But. What.
Who would ever waddle over. Who is sexy while waddling!?

Me. I waddle because I’m carrying nachos.

King of the Castle - So it can be played solo, sort of like a PC and more graphically focused version of the mobile game Reigns. But it really comes to shine as either a party game with friends either face-to-face or online via Discord. Or a game played on Twitch. (Yes self-plug)
The game itself is that 1 person is the Monarch, trying to achieve 1 goal while the other players are Dukes/Counts/Countesses/Baronthees with their own regional goals. Should the players win? They overthrow the Monarch. Voting is used to pick options in events that adjust various ratings for Kingdom stats.
Costs about $5 and there’s no character customisation locking to body shapes, gender, or anything like that which is lovely.

Fuck Keystone Hero in WoW, that’s my achievement for this season.

I completely misread your post, initially, so let me completely rewrite!
Being kind and patient is something that’s in unfortunately short supply when it comes to the Mythic dungeon scene, and if you’re out there making people feel less tense and scared about it, you’re doing it right.

oh no Diablo 4 scratches my perpetual game itch. it was really fun.
this is not good news

@Selira My brother, who has actually hit #1 on the Barbarian leaderboards on D3 more than once, said that D4 was shockingly dark and horror oriented after the cartoony nature of D3.
This actually appeals to me.

Playing Loop Hero is a really good way to chill in between poses I"ve noticed.
Just a fun little pixel game. But I generally like most stuff that Devolver Digital publishes.

@Testament DD is a great production company. I’m going to miss their E3 presentations.

Finished Final Fantasy XVI today.
Great game, I don’t even care that the combat was changed so drastically, I hope they continue that. Think it was the best thing for that series in ages that actually brought me back to playing a Final Fantasy since FFX.
But goddamn, I have a lot thoughts about that ending, which I will not be commenting on until later once I’ve had time to digest it.

Any Modern Warfare 2 players among us? I feel like I may be in the minority on this one here but generally pretty good at the game competitively and always looking for friends to play with.

I have so many feelings.

@Roz One thing that I will say without going into too heavy of spoiler territory, is that I really wish there was more screentime with Dion and Jill. Great characters, and relatively fleshed out from what was seen of them, I just wish there was more time with them.
The only leftover hope I have is that while Yoshi P said that there wasn’t intending to be any story based DLC, that that decision would change depending on how the game was received. I think with 3 million units moved in it’s first week, and there’s already talk about it being a GOTY contender(despite what TOTK stans will say), I Square has at the very least recovered from the travesty that was Forespoken.
So am I going to hope for a mid-game content where they go deeper into the Dominant of Water and the Eikon Leviathan, who really is only barely mentioned in a couple of lore articles? Sure.
Would I hope for post-game content more than anything? Yes, but I doubt that’s going to happen for reasons that I won’t get into because that’s also spoiler content.
Also, I would put in spoiler tags and say more, but I forgetting how to put them in.

I’ve been watching my spouse play FFXVI and boy it seems like a much more mature final fantasy than what they normally produce. It reminds me a lot of Witcher 3 in some aspects. That being said I’m enjoying the story so far.
But I’ve been mainlining Cozy Grove. Cute bear ghosts in an animal crossing-esque style but with more of a quest system. I really enjoy it, and sometimes it makes me a little sad.
One of the ghosts is a farmer that has a plotline about food scarcity that hit closer to home than I thought a video game like this ever wood.

@Cobalt I have told some friends that I think Square took a page out of The Witcher when you look at Clive and then kind of compare his mannerisms to Geralt. There’s some heavy Geralt DNA for inspiration in Clive and honestly? I think it was pulled off great.
But I think Geralt has a better sense of comedic timing than Clive.
-
Took my time with getting to the finish line on this one, but I sure do have thoughts about it. It’s the best mainline singleplayer entry since FF9! (I stipulate, because the last two FF14 xpacs would make it handily breach a top three list for the franchise.)
Combat was by and large amazing, with some nitpicks (PARTICLE DENSITY), I just wish the game world had been a bit less dour, and the female cast given more to do.
Fun ride, respect what they were going for. Not sure how much it’ll stick in my mind after a month’s gone by, but I definitely had $69.99 worth of fun.

Goodbye Volcano High was great.
Some of the characters were a bit extra at times (they’re high schoolers, shock), but gosh I like what it did.

I am loving Sea of Stars so much. I cannot wait to get home to log more time.
