playing more satisfactory, and Fixmas event (again)
I am currently working on the last elevator project, the one involving thrusters, and nuclear pasta

I am kind of looking forward to the Dyson sphere project, update that is scheduled to drop on the 15th.

also playing some of the return to Moria yesterday, finally got the T2 gauntlet recipe, and the steel sword (t2) yesterday, still trying to find the path to the lower deeps out of the mine area

I'm keeping my eye on Lightyear Frontier, aka what looks like an Agromech Simulator.

For other games, I still enjoy Startopia

Finally beat Persona 5 Tactica.

It was fun, mostly, but the game largely provides you with the way to beat each level, so once you figure it out there's not a lot of challenge.  Also, the game really limits how much money you can earn, which makes trying to fuse high level personas that require you to get a lot of expensive personas from your list an exercise in annoyance.  I don't think it's worth playing through again just to pick up the last few achievements.

So back to Baldur's Gate 3, especially given the new epilogues added in Patch 5 and the ability to recruit Minthara without siding with the goblins in Act 1!

nice story easy to get into combat system turn based and so far easy to get into sort of like original x com from 1992 fast enough and game so far does not feel like its rushing you so you will not how crappy it is...visuals are very nicely rendered controls are intuitive and story line does not make you eat the lore of wh40k
i will have to implant my foot up my friends bum for dropping it of at my place...but with love and care

Yeah, I can kick myself for selling my Necron Army right when the 4th Gen came out...

Now while most of them have been retired from the game, a local store near me happened to be running an older Gen 2 game as a demo...

I happily played a run with them, even showed up with my old Polaroids of my Army the next time I was there. Turns out, I could have gotten five times the amount I sold them, based off my Polaroid pictures. Like $2k and I had more not even pictured.

But alas, tis gone...

Just discovered a demo game that's mech based called Kriegsfront Tactics on steam.  It's a Front Mission style game (early, like turn style type.)

Really fun, I can't wait for the full on game comes out.

Been playing Barony with my partners lately, trying to get as far as we can. It’s a really hard game.

I’ve been playing an Automaton Mechanist, while my partners seem to tend toward a succubus and a skeleton, respectively. The succubus is our healer, and the skeleton is a monk who seems to prefer picking up axes instead of staying unarmed as the class would normally play. I believe the furthest we’ve gone was somewhere between Floor 10 and Floor 18. We don’t know how many floors there are.

Did a random number generator to relieve some decision paralysis about which of my 700 unplayed steam games to try out.

The wheel of fate gave me The Forgotten City. It’s a trippy time travel / time loop game where you end up in the Roman Empire and have to solve a supernatural mystery. Pretty good voice acting and an interesting story so far

Yesterday I played Portal 1 (that was bundled with the Portal Companion Collection) for the Switch.  TTBT, it plays very well on the Switch.  I do have the original steam games though.  :smiley:

League of Legends. I've been playing it for 5 years. I consider myself a veteran, but there's still much to learn. Five years is not enough to fully understand it. That's how complex this game is.
If you're a newbie starting out, some additional help can come in handy. Read as much as you can about this game, such as this League of Legends blog, where you can find tips and strategies to play better. Watch how others play. You'll find on Youtube many streamers. Just don't give up. The first period will be hard, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. This game is worth it.

The Forgotten City was a great little game. Only 7-12 hour depending on your detective skills but full of interesting characters a number of unexpected twists.

Cleared Barony for the first and second time, yesterday and this morning respectively. First time was in co-op, I was mesmer succubus and my ally was a conjurer skeleton. Second time, I played conjurer skeleton alone.

My conjurer run was pretty slow going for the first half of the game on account of the skeleton’s painfully slow mana and health regen, but my conjured skeleton minions carried me through. Despite being its signature class, skeletons don’t play conjurer or other caster classes very well at all. I had a good time regardless, though. Don’t think I’ll play skeleton casters again, though. Heh.

Next, I’m trying my hand at beating the game as a punisher incubus and hunter insectoid. I want to unlock all the DLC signature classes so I can freely choose between them regardless of race by the end of the month. Humans may be able to play whatever class they want, but to play a monster’s signature class as any other monster, you have to beat the game as that monster – not necessarily their associated class, though because I’m also achievement hunting, I’m doing exactly that anyway.

Finished Fate Samurai Remnant on the Good Ending with 52% achievements completed on the first play though. I dislike the fact that you are cut off from completing alot of things because your never warned in advance.

Otherwise, loved the story though I wish we got more to the Good Ending

Now I just have to distract myself for another couple of weeks till Granblue Fantasy Relink comes out
