    RimWorld released a beta of the upcoming 1.7 version that moves to their new Waylith engine, granting massive performance gains over there old Unity builds. I haven’t done a real playthrough since before the Anomaly and Odyssey expansions released, so I’m thinking now’s a good time to revisit the game. I’ve heard Anomaly was kind of disappointing, but here’s hoping Odyssey is the less buggy vanilla version of Save Our Ships 2 I’ve heard it referred to as. Though I’m not looking forward to rebuilding my mod list after all this time. Anyone have mod recommendations for someone who’s been away from the scene for a few years?

    I’ve been playing Morrowind again, finally actually giving the main quest a good chance. I’ve tried getting into it almost every year and it’s never clicked for me but this time it finally did. I’m having a blast with it.

    Bought Ravenswatch for $2 and change yesterday. Link for anyone that wants it It’s a top down rouge-lite RPG where you play as fairy tale characters. Game consists of 3 levels, with a limited time to scout the map for gold, upgrades, and to level up before you’re forced to fight the level boss. Game supports multiplayer and crossplay. Went in with no expectations, and me and a couple friends ended up having a lot of fun. Plan on playing more later this week. The theme is pretty cool. Like Little Red Riding Hood, but she can change into a tank-y werewolf. Gepetto, but he builds Pinocchio automatons. Pied Piper and he uses swarms of exploding rats. Etc.

    My nephew spent the week end here so I installed Kiborg from my backlog for some mindless fun. It’s pretty decent. Good roguelike upgrade variety. Enemies are varied enough as well. Bosses are nothing to write home about. Story is barely there. All in all perfect for the occasion.

    Started up a new save of Bloodborne on pc and talk about a fine wine. Unfortunately I kept on experiencing freezes/crashes via ShadPS4/BBLauncher, so I’ve put it down for the time being. I’ve heard about the newfangled decomp/recomp that lets you run it natively, but idk, I don’t really think that scene is for me. Otherwise I’ve been chipping away at Dredge and am considering a new playthrough of The Case of the Golden Idol. Never got around to the DLC with the latter, but also just going back through the base game to see all of the artwork again sounds like a good time. Also, if anyone has recommendations for horror games that aren’t Resident Evil or Silent Hill, I’d love to hear them. Can be action horror, survival horror, scary horror, cozy horror, and so on, I’m interested in it all.

    Reinstalled Tropico 6 after a while. It took me so long to figure out how to not lose money (a few years ago). Now I play for a good while, but eventually get bored and give it a break. But it is fun. I’m irritated at the DLC. They seem a little pricey for what you get, which is a couple of buildings and a couple of other things, introducing new systems which is fine but… like… it’s too much specific stuff and not enough general stuff. So I ahve a couple of the DLC and that’s all, and that’s fine.

    After more than 500 hours spread over 6 years, many multi-month breaks and 7+ characters I finally managed to finish the base story of Cyberpunk 2077. I went through 3 endings The Path of Least Resistance, The Sun and The Devil - even at the very end things would not go perfectly. The intro section before the choice and The Path of Least Resistance ended up with my V spouting random lines every 30 seconds during the normal dialogue due to one of the mods I used (dependency for others). The Sun crashed during its epilogue. Also, Rogue and her gun disappeared during the boss fight (not in the intended way). My ability to scan bugged out during The Devil. I couldn’t finish the final part and had to watch it instead. Despite these issues all of the endings were pretty engaging though I can’t say they hit as strong as they could under better circumstances. Between multiple partial playthroughs, already finishing the game through Phantom Liberty and being spoiled on the main points of all of the finales, there was just too much going against having a full experience. As for The Star, I’m leaving it specifically for my next playthrough as my canon ending for the game. Before that happens however I intend to spend A LOT more time in Night City. As mentioned last week, I’m planning to start from scratch just to enjoy myself as a random NPC living their life whenever I feel like it. It might take a few months or a few years, the important thing is that I already beat the game so the pressure to progress is no longer there. I’m doing a proper setup this time too - mod manager, serious testing and no mod list changes after I start. It should help with instability and other issues I had to deal with this time. Anyway, that’s that. Not as emotional as I’d like but the feeling of closure is just as important. It’s certainly better than disappointment. Now to sort through all of my pictures in search for something worth keeping…

    I started Minishoot’ Adventures two days ago and I cannot put it doen. Great mix of twinstick / “Bullethell” Shooter and action adventure gamed like the old top doen Zelda games. Not to easy, not too hard and the game respects totally your Time (no unnecessary fetch quests and it always helps you out where to go when you forgot it) Can highly reccomend it and I think i gonna do a second run on hard mode :D

    I finished Signalis, very Silent Hill-esque story, much better than Silent Hill F’s IMO. I need to dig deeper and check the rest of the endings, I got the Promise ending. I started playing Rule Of Rose and the gameplay is quite clunky, however I like the setting and atmosphere and the story is vague but interesting so far.

    Just started Cyberpunk. I gave it a go a little while ago on PS5 but it just didn’t do it for me with the controller. I’m only an hour in and I’m already a lot more comfortable with mouse over stick. Keyboard will take a little to adjust to since its been a while since I’ve played anything resembling an action game with one.
