22

It's December! Which means vacations and deadlines. Which mean unreliable schedule to post weekly threads. So, bear with me this month, I'll try to post them on time, but if I don't, don't worry, we should get back to normal weekly posts from January.

And since this post is so late, going to make it a post for this week and the next. Now, games!

Playing Fortnite, my kid regularly plays it, but when I saw the Lego Fortnite trailer I got intrigued, gave it a try and loving it. Also playing Rocket Racing mode. Haven't gotten a chance to try the third one, Festival I guess it's called.

All other games are on pause due to lack of free time, except for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, the smaller size of Vita makes it much easier to lug around, so getting some hours in the game when I don't have anything else to do.

That's all from my end, what about all of you? What have you been playing? Or meaning to play over the holidays?

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Received this two Christmas ago and enjoy playing now and then.

But on man do I wish I had a dodo code to an island where I could get cherry and pears.

I have apples, oranges, peaches, coconuts yet can't get the others.

Vegetables I have tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, wheat, and sugar cain.

It's ridiculous that you can't use miles and get to an island that has the other stuff.

If you have Discord they have a very active community, or well it used to be active, haven't checked in a while.

If you don't have Discord, let me know, I can return to the island and send you my code. I haven't really played in a while, so place will be a mess, but at least I can give you the fruits.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Wow thank you! I check out thier Discord but definitely will be grateful for the code.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Quick question but you have a link to the discord? Couldn't find it in search.

If you still need the fruits and maybe the vegetables DM me? you can have some of mine.

[-] dotdi@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

After realizing I don’t actually enjoy Starfield any longer, I started playing BG3

Made me look at the calendar, I thought I had been in a coma for a few days!

... It is Wednesday, right?

I'm out of town and didn't think a lot about which game to bring, so I just started a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet with only flying type Pokémon. I didn't even like the first playthrough that much, but I had wanted to do a monotype run of any game one day, and this one was right here, so here I am. It's ok I guess.

Haha yeah, this is last week's thread which got delayed, so posted it now as a combined thread for this and next week.

Good luck with monotype run. Wouldn't that make almost impossible to beat a gym leader if he has umm... whatever is the weakness of wind.

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

It makes it harder but it's still easier than I'd like hahaha

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I was sick over the past week and got Dave the Diver to have something not to demanding to play as I am done with Pokemon, super fun I highly recommend it.

I also got back into Animal Crossing.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Do you have cherry and peaches? 😀

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago
[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

No, @Fredselfish@lemmy.world in this same thread is also playing AC, and looking for cherry and peaches.

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I will ask is they still need them

[-] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The Deponia collection was a steal. Seems very Monkey Island-y. I liked the monkey island series so hopefully I'll like this. I'll be playing Deponia.

I tried little big factory before but I called it quits after realising it's not for me. Also bought Move Out on sale but just seems too repetitive, maybe it's more of a multiplayer game than single player...

Pokemon Platinum, playing around but mostly to complete what I am missing in Black 2

[-] Waker@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

LoL plagues me as usual.

However I've been playing some Rust and Project Zomboid on the side.

I am also playing Skylords (fan resurrection of EA's Battleforge) which is an RTS but your units/civ is made up by a deck of cards you build yourself. It's a very different take on the RTS genre and I never saw anything like it.

Edit: might go enjoy GuildWars2 winter event. They are usually super fun.

In my search for short but awesome games, I just started playing Inscryption! I haven't gotten very far, but boy does it spark my curiosity, I neeeed to find out what awaits

[-] treefrog@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Inscription is fun but there's multiple levels lol i thought it was short too but lost interest before finishing it on the third act i think

[-] MrKurteous@feddit.nu 2 points 9 months ago

I've only gotten to the second act so far, but it's new enough for me to still have interest! I saw on howlongtobeat that it should take around 12 hours, so I hope that me being ready for that will make me last until the end.

[-] treefrog@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I think it took me awhile to figure out the first act, so I think I spent more than 12 with it

Really loved the atmosphere of that act though! Probably why I spent so long on it.

Bravery and Greed was on sale for $10 so I took a chance on it. It looked like it would scratch the rogue like itch for me and I have not been disappointed.

Multiplayer side scrolling rogue like. Four classes. Four different character paths for each picked from three random perks found at shrines. Four gear slots counting the wand with fun unique abilities (boots of flying for example).

Also playing Mario Wonder with my son. I expect both games will be on rotation all winter and spring.

[-] timo_timboo_@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I got back into Super Mario Odyssey, after like 5 years. Just felt the desire to play it again and man, does it take me back to 2017/18. Still just as fun.

What did TOTK ever do to you, that you have to beat it again and again?

[-] SVcross@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It knows what It did.

[-] sdcSpade@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

It's the weekend, my dudes.

Baten Kaitos New Game Minus progress is slow. I don't play it very often right now but when I do, I get a lot done. Some enemies have begun to outspeed me, but I've only had a character die to bad defense RNG once so far.

I've spent most of my time with Arkham Origins lately. I've 100% the main game and New Game Plus (which is an odd name for hard mode), I've beaten the Cold Cold Heart DLC and have just begun the Challenge maps. When I started the game, I completely forgot it takes place during christmas, so it's an accidentally fitting game.

I'm deep enough into Shantae on the Game Boy to have more of an opinion on it. The game has two faces: The dungeons, which are a joy to be in and the overworld which is an awful slog. The game has fast travel, but it takes a long time to unlock it. And the constant back and forth makes me impatient enough to just jump into a pit and be reset to the beginning of the area. I probably could have beaten the game by now if I played it more, but I'm playing too many games at once...

Speaking of too many games, I dug out my save file for Pokemon Infinite Fusion again and finally finished off most of the post game.

Playing pokemon non stop until I finish the DLC story and the fill the Pokédex.

[-] tuda224@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Same for me. Can't wait to go on and get some of those old starters ❤️

[-] Dougas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Same. Definitely one of the things I want to do the most

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

How are you liking the DLC?

[-] Dougas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I think it's really nice so far but I am not that far into. From what I've seen it's actually really. I am more excited because we will be able to get all the past starters and a lot of older legendaries

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I'm probably going to install the original Doom on my laptop.

Last weekend I wrapped up Super Mario Bros. Wonder with 100% completion and so I've returned to Starfield. Level 21 and counting, currently playing through the Crimson Fleet questline.

I wish I could fly my ship wherever I wanted...

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I don't think anyone has ever mentioned Starfield in this thread, and yet we have three mentions of it this week. What happened?

[-] xyzzy@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's been a packed second half of the year for major releases. I imagine that people held off on beginning Starfield until they wrapped up a few other things on their plate, since it's such an investment in time. As for me, I have over two weeks off work starting today, so there will be a lot of quality time with this game in my future.

Level 25 now!

Still playing Honk Train (Honkai Star Rail) and Palia. As a bonus, the latter just came out on the Switch and has cross save. So I'm going to be setting that up in a minute.
