Into The Breach
It works perfectly with just touch controls. Eden emulator runs the Switch version perfectly on my phone. I hadn’t really played the game properly before (would just die quickly and not know how to proceed). Now I’m starting to get the hang of it and can play it for brief gaps in my day now that it is on my phone.
Ori and the blind forest, second playtrough
Just finished Ico. Heard it was really influential. Overall I really liked it, though it did make me appreciate the improvements in game design that have happened in the last 20 years
Played it before. Most non-horror horror game I’ve played yet. Pretty good though.
Also the extra scene at the ending from the remaster is very sweet, pun intended.
Mainly Balatro… I got the (remaster) of the original Fable on Steam, because they’re working on a new one. It’s interesting but failed to save correctly so i haven’t gotten back into it for a few days.
Terraria just got another update, so back to Terarria.
I just farmed 3 hours for demon scythe in my mage run. Never had such a bad luck. :(
Cataclysm DDA.
I‘ve finished Neon White and I honestly think the hell rushes (especially with level shuffle) is where the game shines the most. I could‘ve saved myself some time skipping all of the story and wouldn‘t have missed out on anything IMO lol
The story was so corny. The soundtrack is fantastic, though. I bought the soundtrack after finishing the game.
Tetris (NES) on Lutris on CachyOS. Good times :)
I’ve never been good at Tetris. My wife, on the other hand, used to do competitions. We’ve played Tetris duel or whatever it’s called (the two player competitive one) and she completely destroyed me every time.
I’m not good at it either, but I like playing it anyway. Sometimes I watch the pros play on the ClassicTetris YouTube channel. It’s nice to watch, I’ll never reach that level but I’m okay with that.
There’s a Tetris clone you can play in the Linux terminal, I’ve messed around with before. Pretty fun. I can’t remember what it’s called now but I’d recommend looking it up if you like Tetris. It’s pretty cool.
Stardew Valley. I needed something kid friendly and I’ve ran out of rally games so I decided it’s time to check out what has been added since I last played it when it released. I know it’s had some big updates but I’ve never paid attention to what the updates have been about, so there’s a bit of wonder going into the game. There are already moments where I’ve gone “I don’t remember this being in the game”.
Elden Ring. About 40 hours into it, running a dex / faith lightning build with dual bandit curved swords. Lately I think I’ve been researching builds more than actually playing though.
Elden Ring is probably my favourite game ever. It’s got some tight competition but whenever someone asks me what my absolute favourite game ever is, I default to Elden Ring.
I picked this back up recently to play through the DLC with my Golden Order caster.
I must report that triple rings of light absolutely shreds (spoiler)
ghostflame dragons
Recently got Detroit: Become Human on discount. Just began to play it this week and my wife cant let me play alone. She is super invested in the story. And so am I.
Apart from the daily 20 minutes on Animal Crossing New Leaf I’ve spent more time tinkering and “fixing” stuff than playing. The best thing I did was setup Syncthing on my emulator handhelds which I should have done a lot sooner but didn’t even think to.
I caved last week and got Sly Thieves In Time on my steam deck because for whatever reason the disc copy I have freezes up on 2 PS3s: one with and without PS2 backwards compatibility. So far still fun but not quite the level of Sly 3 yet.
I’ll also hopefully be playing Sonic Colors for the first time in general on wii if the SD card I ordered arrives by Friday.
Since you mention “without backwards compatibility”, I guess you are preparing your own installers to run the game. If so, try to look if there are any known issues between the PS3’s emulator and the game, and if there are, look for the patch to inject when creating the installer. And if you’re running CFW, iirc you just need to place the patch file in the same folder as the ISO.
I just mentioned backwards compatibility because they’re two separate models. Not focusing on that feature so much because I don’t think it has much impact on PS3 games played on a native console.
I probably worded my previous comment in a weird and kinda vague way, so my bad for being an idiot. I happen to have 2 unmodified PS3s of different models I have access to, so no CFW. Would love to have a PS3 with CFW but I can’t and won’t do it to either of my brother’s PS3s.
Ah, I see. Sorry for misinterpreting it.
Having laugh out loud fun with “Promise Mascot Agency.” It’s basically all the wacky dialogue of the best Yakuza side missions with business management sim. Like Dondoko Island if you play those games. If you are into management sims, then play on Hard to start. I’m on normal and the gameplay offers almost zero challenge. But the exploration, characters and writing is excellent.
I’m playing Akimbot and it kinda sucks. I didn’t realize I was buying a kid’s game :/
I tried the demo for it during Steam Next Fest and the third-person shooting was interesting but wow, the two main characters have no chemistry with each other.
The characters and the story are so obnoxious dude. Pretty graphics/art and the music is good at least. I just beat Ghostrunner 2 and it feels like I’m still playing that game with all the wallrunning, grappling hooks, and last kill slo-mo lol
