Games

Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I've been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I've played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I'm level 30+ already because games are addicting.

The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur's Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won't have to shell out for it until it's on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.

Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)
