Started Felvidek. You play as Moravian (modern day Slovakia) alcoholic knight Pavel, who bemoans the fact that his wife abandoned his drunken ass. His master sends him to investigate burning down of nearby castle, pairing him up with a priest Matej to keep his vices in check. The area is crawling with Hussites, coffe is all the rage and there is something much more sinister lurking around than just the marauding followers of Jan Hus.

Graphics take time to get used to, combat is meh, but the game grew on me, especially the interactions between Pavel and Matej (in period speak, unlike HWR). I guess it also helps I have some knowledge of the era.
Got to love the little touches, like consumables, where during combat alcohol returns HP, fancy alcohol revives the fallen, sour cream removes status ailments and porridge resets special attack points (super important)   
Shoot first, laugh later.

SOVL.

Stream version of warhammer with the serial numbers filed off. It looks like an old 90's white dwarf (the games workshop magazine) battle report. Im am enjoying it immensely. It has a free verison and you can pay some (like 5 books) for some extra factions. It also has a growitng online community and you can do ranked games against them.

I am enjoying it immensely.

Started playing (and streaming) Touhou: New World!  Here's a thing, there's a tradition that every Tuesday when I don't have a work schedule, I stream a playthrough of Touhou games
