Hello Everyone!

It's time for this week's, "What are you playing" thread.

I wasn't able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don't have to moderate anything.

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

Heh, I have sometimes done the same thing, but when I do that, I end up not finishing any of them. So, now I prefer to start only one big game.

As I mentioned in the post, I just got NSO Expansion pack, so going to try all of these, but one-by-one, not all at once πŸ˜€

Any games that you specially recommend?

BTW sorry about those test replies, I just couldn't reply to your message (or anyone's from kbin.social, finally figured out, have to select English as the language, or it won't post)

Sure no problem!

Indeed, I was following your advice a few years ago, but started to say things like β€œ1 modern game + 1 retro game” is fine, than I added handheld games as category of its own, and that’s how I failed to follow my mantra this year πŸ˜…. But it’s very rare I do not finish my games, even if it takes me 4 months playing the same games :).

Mario & Luigi surprised me a lot. I was a bit skeptical about a Mario RPG game, and I enjoy it much more than expected :). Oh and TOTK / FFTheathrythm are games difficult to quit, they are so good 😊.

Yeah, I have gone down that path, and it leads to just confusion. Someone mentioned a dutch word "keuzestress" in another thread, which means "choice anxiety", it describes the problem I face.

I do end pretty much all games though (as long as I am enjoying it), but a game that I could end in week, won't be finished for a few months.

Thanks for the recommendations! Already know about TOTK, but will check the others out.
