Hollow knight, it has somehow taken me longer to finish that game than it took team cherry to develop silksong

I thought that I was the only one 😂

Been playing through Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne remaster. It’s been something of a white whale for me as I missed it in the PS2 era despite really enjoying Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2.
Also enjoying Ball x Pit here and there.

BALL x PIT
Runs great.
anakin78z@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Same. I’m obsessed with it. I just unlocked the last character. This game is so fun.

Just started “The Outer Worlds” for the first time. Been meaning to try it for years, finally got around to it and enjoying it so far!

Make plenty of save points! (Or do multiple playthroughs)
It’s very fun to pick an answer, then load up a prior save a do another one.
One choice let’s you skip a whole chunk of the game, which is hilarious

Palmon. My desktop fried last weekend so hail the steam deck.

I’ve mostly been playing Spiderman Remastered and Oblivion Remastered. For oblivion I’m using an edited engine.ini file to disable lumens, which has pretty significantly improved performance.
I’ve also been playing RV There Yet with friends, and it’s been great. The new snow map has been really fun (and hard!).

I can’t wait until the Spiderman games go on sale. I vowed never to buy any open world game for more than $15, after being burned so often.
I got Horizon Zero Dawn for like $10. I was even surprised when RDR2 went on sale for under $15. So now I just have to wait.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I paid roughly $20 for Spiderman Remastered, and I think that was a pretty fair price. Miles Morales goes for even cheaper I believe.

Picked up Yoku’s Island Express during the sale. A unique 2D platformer/exploration game that seamlessly incorporates pinball mechanics. The world feels big with a lot of variety. The pinball stuff is fun and works better than I though it would. Great production. Very happy with the value so far.
Another new one to me is Downwell. This is a neat little game and it’s good at what it does but can’t help feeling that that it could have been a lot more if it got the Isaac treatment with more items that combined in fun ways. It was very inexpensive so I am happy with this one too and will keep it in the rotation, especially for short play sessions.

I love Yoku’s, such a fun little game.

Silksong, but I put that on hold as I think I hit my skill ceiling in Act 3.
In the meantime, I’m playing The Seance at Blake Manor which has been really fun and is perfect for the Deck.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Oh I saw someone covering Seance recently (maybe Second Wind?) and I’ve been planning on getting it since.

I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys point and click adventure games. The time mechanic can seem a bit constraining at first, but unless you’re clicking on everything or exhausting every conversation topic, I think you’d be able to figure out like 80% of the mysteries just by pulling at relevant threads. The only advice I’d offer is to remember how to get to all of the journals and notes you collect because the game doesn’t have a traditional inventory system, and there were a couple of times I forgot about information I’d previously collected that’s needed to solve some puzzles because it’s a little buried. It does a great job of establishing the atmosphere, and if you’re in the mood for a creepy mystery, this is an all-timer.

still playing kerbal space program, still tweaking steam input to handle all the keys I need to press. Feels like my steam input setup is as jank and hobbled together as my rockets, although I kinda feel like the original keyboard controls were already kinda jank.
I’m getting ready to land on mun, I put a lander into orbit at kerbin because I was too wobbly with the whole ship in one go and I wanted to try docking. I get the command vessel to sync up with the lander and gently bump into it with my docking port, was super thrilled to learn that when I took the wobbly rocket apart to make 2 launches I must have removed the docking port on the lander so now it’s in orbit and slowly spinning after I bumped it. Now I need to do some extra missions to raise funds to try again.
This game is awesome.smeg@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition.
I basically have a decade worth of games to catch up on.
Red0ctober@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Playing a bunch of games on mine right now.
- A Space for the Unbound
- Underrail
- Elite Dangerous
- The Witcher 3
random_character_a@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Haven’t been playing much. I’ve been lerning to code with AI. Where it usually fails and how.
- Easy Red 2
- Factorio
- RV There Yet
dukemirage@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Some Baldurs Gate 3, but the performance is kinda bad and it looks not good, despite the native Linux version (which is also buggy, sometimes the UI overlay stops working until a restart). After a break I‘m planning on either FFIX, the recent Breath of Fire PC release or Trails In The Sky.
ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Did you try to run the native windows version and see how it works?
dukemirage@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, will it need to download the whole game again?
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Tbf the native windows version is also muddy looking with not great performance.

I have been playing my new favorite game:
Tinkering with software on the deck
Setting up emulation and fiddling with FF7 Remake Intergrade to disable some graphics setting has been my main task this week.
Setting up Decky and Lossless Scaling is my task for next week.
Maybe I’ll actually play some games on it too. Hollow Knight and Haste have been absolute blasts. Can’t believe it took me so long to start HK.
tiberius@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Still working on The Last Sovereign. Thank goodness for walkthroughs.
JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Divinity Original Sin 2 . My first foray into the series. Enjoying it so far
petrescatraian@libranet.de 3 weeks ago
Nothing yet, and still undecided. Dealing with the hangover now, lol.IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
While my family is on holiday break from school and work, I hooked my deck up to the TV and we’ve been playing our way through Sunderfolk. It’s a tactical RPG. The deck hosts the game and everyone gets to join and control their character with their phone. It runs great.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
I kinda forgot about Sunderfolk. I see it has a demo now, I’ll need to try it out with my kids.
Shjosan@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Just started with Dave the Diver. Only at chapter one, but so far so good
Some other “regulars”/recent plays:
- Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
- Caravan SandWitch
- Euro Truck simulator 2
- Timberborn
- Hades
woodytrombone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
- Peglin
- Spider-Man Remastered (NG+, DLC)
- Ball X Pit
- DRG: Survivor
Will have to try out Elite: Dangerous, especially during the ramp up to Distant Worlds III
Honk@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It doesn’t run the greatest on the deck, but I’m having fun.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
The Ys series.
There’s so many of them that I had to figure out what they’re about.
Just finished the first one and was surprised how good it was, in a very retro way. The second one seems to have me backtrack a lot, and maze like designs. Which I hope doesn’t become the norm.
BlindFrog@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Snowrunner
GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
Reinstalled cyberpunk, but maybe I'll move it to the pc to enjoy the graphics more.

Half Life 2.
