Beat Jak 3. annoying last boss fight, mostly with with vehicle that controls like it is constantly has grease on the wheels and believes it can fly.
Playing Jak X: I normally dont like racing games, it gets stale after while, however, these have more events than just racing.
Cars still control like poo
Playing more Warframe. It's a bit grindy to get stuff, but that makes it all the more rewarding when you do get the stuff! I actually really enjoy the gameplay anyway, although I could see how some would find it repetitive and boring.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.

Decided to revisit Shadow of the Tomb Raider now that all season pass content has been unlocked. Opted for New Game + while I was at it, should make 100% completion a bit easier.
Still a bit annoyed with some of the sections, but other parts, like the Jaguars, still really good.
Hi all! I've been playing a lot of Rim World, it's pretty frigging crazy lol

My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
Been back in elder scrolls online lately checking out the new Elsweyr content. Dragon fights are fun, but kinda bummed they are only in the 1 new zone. They should have spread them out all over the world and replaced those anchor battles with them or something. I mean, they have wings... can't they fly elsewhere? was that a pun?
I started a brand new Necromancer, pretty fun to play.
Replayed Duke Nukem Forever, and frankly while it got mocked, it's still better than your average Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Medal of Honor ever was in story, gameplay, and graphics.
Now replaying DOOM in preparation for the release of the sequel in a few months, and THAT game certainly is still one of the best FPS games ever made.

Picked up Cadence of Hyrule, but I don't think its for me. Really enjoy the throwback original Zelda style of the gameplay but the rhythm part just doesn't feel particularly fun. The music keeps changing screen to screen and constantly being punished for not tapping along mechanically makes it more irritating than engaging. I'm a huge rhythm game and Zelda game fan so I'm kind of surprised.
Picked up Katana: Zero instead. Absolutely loving it, though its not super clear there's a dedicated walk button for the stealth sections...
Was expecting to pick up Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night today, but the shop changed their minds and said its out on the 22nd. Tossers!
Had a quick go on Megaman X4, where on each session I'm reminded how bloody excellent it is...
...gawd, memories of 1998 when buying it together with the large boxset of Metal Gear: Solid. Every publication raved about MGS and how wonderful it was(yeah, it was pretty good) but MMX4 got totally savaged with scores as low as less-than 50% - merely because it was a 2D game and Sony had a stupid policy in place where they wanted 3D titles only. Not even Konami's SOTN was safe! It took a threat from Capcom to withhold Resident Evil 2 to get MMX4 released in the west, and for our younger brethern here - Resident Evil 2 was like the "Terminator 2: Judgement Day of playstation games".
So glad I made that impulse purchase because it turned out to be one of the very best games released for the playstation, and so grateful to Capcom for standing their ground. Its like a violent Saturday Morning cartoon show which was a great contrast to sessions of MGS. Loved it to bits!
Still playing Void Bastards. Because it is not fair, I actually find it a much more compelling experience. It is sort of "Here's what you've got to deal with. Better make the best of it!" that makes surviving and getting back to your ship with some important upgrade part that future convicts can use so exciting. And I really enjoy games where you really should just RUN from some situations, racing back to the airlock with a Screw chasing you is really exciting.
Alot of new blood in Insurgency: Sandstorm for the free weekend. Having a blast!
"Sometimes the only victory possible is to keep your opponent from winning." - The Emperor, from The Outcast Dead.
"Tell your gods we are coming for them, and that their realms will burn as ours did." -Thostos Bladestorm
Still kinda wandering from game to game. Ringrunner: Flight of the Sages is an amazing top-down, physics-based space shooter, with a hilarious and yet deep story and a very interesting setting.
Alongside that, gotten back in to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. I love Drangleic. If only Soul Memory wasn't a thing...

Got my hands on Mechanicus and while it has been fun, I have to say I was a bit suprised when it turned out that you need to exterminate all the bosses that pop up or else you get them all dumped on you in the last battle. That made me less than cheerful
Have once again jumped in on day one on a Lovecraft game. Hopeful Sinking City is vastly superior to Call of Cthulhu.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
So far, it’s a laugh. More to it than Pokemon Go, which I also play.
A friend of mine mentioned it, which caused me to try and take a look. But it's not showing up for me in the Google App Store, which suggests that my phone probably isn't capable of running it.
I got the phone brand new a year and a half ago...
Still RimWorld but now super frustrated due to being hit with a heat wave which is making my damned freezer not work at all and I don't have any components for another chiller, so all my food is quickly going off which is making me GRRRR!. I remember Sseth Tzeentach, my new favourite Youtuber, saying 'I genuinely believe my blood pressure and cortisol levels sharply rise when playing this game.' When he reviewed it and boy do I see what he means by that lol

I'm waiting to see what comes up on the steam sale at this point. (which should be tomorrow). I'd like a well done single player shooter, and an excellent builder, but, not sure of specific titles at this point.
Installed Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night(XB1), and got to the first save point. Was kind of hoping for that epic "bloodlines" kind of intro that SOTN had, but alas its a load of jrpg waffle instead, trying to get started. Feels more like Aria of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia than SOTN...
But yes, it looks and sounds good so far. There is a poor-performance issue with the Switch version, but Koji has announced that instead of one large patch they will be doing an individual patch for each area so that players don't have to wait so long to see some improvement. I assume the earlier stages will get priority and the later ones left til last.
World of Warships was released on the XB1 (kind of an alpha I guess? not a whole lot there for content yet) but I have been enjoying that. Seems to have been a successful port, haven't had any performance issues, the controls are intuitive and nothing in the way of lag.
Will probably play for a while until it gets repetitive or the grind gets to be too much. Much like WoT, I refuse to go premium with how much that costs

Played it a bit. I actually kind of feel like there's too much going on for the kind of game it is. Go works well for me because it doesn't really interrupt what I'm doing. I feel like to play WU I need to really focus on playing WU, but its not dramatically more involving to the point where its loaded with stuff I want to do. Might also just be personal bias given I'm a huge Pokemon nerd, but mostly a superficial Potter fan.
