    I just finished every ncpd dispatch in cyberpunk. Now the map is clear of everything. I still want a reason to keep loading into Night City but I’m not sure if I want to do an entire playthrough with a different build.

    Find a compelling romhack of a game I’ve already played to death, more like!

    Been getting my butt thoroughly handed to me in Super Mario RPG Armageddon…and I’m on the easy mode! But it’s also a lot of fun, and a unique way to play one of my all time favorite games

    Oh hello again Terraria. Plus I just found out that last year they re-released the first “final update” of the game from 2012 as a beta on steam, basically making it easy to play the old content again. So I’m sure I’ll give that a go this weekend.

    I started a new obsession with Total war 3 Kingdoms. There is several mods that basically adds new campaigns with new mechanics so I’ve just been doing that. I recently completed a campaign that was labelled “very hard”. You start out as a vassal state with really strong neighbors who will go to war with you at the drop of a hat. I restarted that campaign like 6 times just to be able to survive the starting situation.

    I’ve tried other Total War games but this one i feel got everything right, from the interface to diplomacy. I tried the forst Warhammer one and Rome and didn’t like them. So i got a refund before that ran out.

    My friends and I started an “Indie Game Club” which is similar to a book club but for indie video games. It’s really helped to branch out and try new things that I wouldn’t usually try. And of course, if you finish the game fast enough, you can get back to the one game you have 10000+ hours in. But I’d say probably 1/3 of the games we’ve played I liked so much that I didn’t want to stop playing and go back to my usual and used the whole time to just keep playing. It’s been an excellent experience!

    I had a quiet night to myself so I thought I’d crack open the copy of Samurai Shodown on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Shodown back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!

    So anyway, three matches in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I think maybe I could use a slightly more relaxing pace of game.

    So I open up the copy of Metal Slug XX on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Metal Slug back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!

    So anyway, a couple of levels in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I decide to fall back to good ol’ Broforce. Nice relaxing Broforce…

    If anyone has half life 2 and is looking for cool experience I strongly recommend Entropy zero, just played the first one and now gonna play through the second one. I won’t lie it’s not perfect at times but it’s nice breath of fresh air.

      Agreed. The second one is one of my favorite custom campaigns for any game. Very well done I thought.

    I usually just end up closing steam and going back to doomscrolling Lemmy/YouTube.

      Ah yes, lets do an orc warrior build, and focus on one handed weapons and shields. With a side dabbling of stealth archer.

        I always start out with a random race, head in the opposite direction of Riverwood, eat everything I can pick up, and just start making and selling potions lol. Then I use the money to buy iron ore and start crafting daggers and selling those. Along the way, I may take a few side quests for extra cash. Then eventually buy or build a house.

        By the time I finally go to Riverwood to start the main game, I’m…a fully Daedric-clad stealth archer. Every time. lol. (I don’t quite have the patience to level smithing to 100 for dragonbone, so I upgrade that along the way of the main quest).

          I started trying to make rules for my build. I had a few mods to help with it like paying blacksmiths or alchemists to craft for you if that skill wouldn’t have made sense for the character.

          I tried to pick 1 main combat and 1 side combat of close, ranged, or magic and pick one of the 3 crafting trees. I also tried to walk or take the carriage as often as possible. A mod added more carriage locations and some ferrys. I did dabbled with some realisitic weight and survival mods but i found that stuff too tedious. Although i did like carrying gems over gold as some of them had a better weight to value ratio.

            I have yet to play Skyrim with any mods even though I’d really like to. Only thing I have are the DLCs.

            Getting it to run under Wine has been challenging enough (though it’s a lot easier these days) so I didn’t want to even attempt to mix mods into it.
