I expedited 33 obscur clairs (damn, the new area is awesome), rescued some Yoshi eggs in Super Mario World and am now triggering all chronos I can find.

I've spent way too much time on Cloverpit this week. And a little bit of Paper Mario TTYD on Switch - finally getting around to playing the remake of one of my all time favorite games.

Guild wars reforged. I was thinking of firing up the old cd roms and then I saw the whole thing was re-released on steam. Been giving it a go - has held up well over 20 years.

I was driving yet another locomotive, [in the sky though](https://www.gog.com/game/sunless_skies)!

I should log on and see if my old Mesmer/Necromancer is still there. I can't think of a single other game where you could build purely around debuffs and have it be fun to play and completely viable in both PvP and PvE.

Background: I've never been a fan of the original Devil May Cry trilogy. I think they're foundational to what's probably my favorite genre, but as with a lot of foundational games, what came later surpassed them in most aspects. What I'm doing this break: replaying through the trilogy in release order to see if I still hold the same opinion. I finished DMC1 and I'm halfway through DMC2 RN, and yup, I still hold the same opinion so far. Immense respect for the ideas this trilogy introduced, but I don't care what kind of nostalgia glue fans are huffing, there's a reason even Kamiya and Itsuno moved on from fixed cameras, for example. They're fun games, but I would rather be replaying Bayonetta, DMC4 or 5, Assault Spy, or even Hi-Fi Rush. I enjoy the breadth and freedom all these descendants offer.

Outer Wilds has completely absorbed me. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the game and am so glad I did!

Been playing kerbal space program on my steam deck. By playing I mean spending all my time editing the controller layout. So far I have an assembling layout, a flying layout, and a _i just need to be able to push any letter or number sometimes and the virtual keyboard pops up in the background and dismisses itself if I try to switch to it_ layout which is radial menues of all the keys. I can switch back and forth between these with action sets. Steam input is kindkind of amazing tbh. Maybe I'll try to do a mission eventually, just gotta tweak my controller setup a bit more.

Finishing old games for me: - Opus Magnum - Mages of Mystralia - Trying (and failing) to beat the attack helicopter level in Teardown.

Started and beat öoo, such a fun and interesting game, played 1 round of blue prince, and I'm not sure I have the time to invest in it, and I'm working on beating Eiyudean Chronicle Rising before playing the main game.

Divinity Original Sin 2. I had this in my library for a while since i played BG3 and loved it. DOS is good too but way more difficult and the story is a bit weaker. Still a great game though. Still wakes the deep. I love a good horror game and this one scratches the itch. The ambiance is great and the oil rig feels like a real place. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Playing the new DLC trying to cure a plague. Not as good as the other two dlcs but still good because more Henry is always good.

I also played expedition 33 and my god man, I need to talk about it. What a mind fuck and depressing game. It's beautiful and written well, but with dark themes and I came away not sure what to do after finishing it.

I finished [NecroVision](https://www.gog.com/en/game/necrovision) the other day, and I really enjoyed the mid-game part, but endgame is kinda tiring with endless barrage of enemies spawning... currently playing [Rogue Trooper](https://www.gog.com/en/game/rogue_trooper) and I just unlocked the upgrades so the game got interesting

I caved and picked up Clair Obscur. It's a genre that I'm really not a fan of, but it's just so exceptionally well made that I'm thoroughly enjoying it anyway. Aongside that, I've been playing Rogue Trader at last, after my wife has been bugging me to play it for over a year. It's very, very good. Probably one of the best RPGs I've ever played. The degree to which your narrative choices matter is phenomenal. There are scenes in the tutorial that define the entire game. And it nails the setting. Lastly, I picked up a founders pack for Soulframe. The only bad decision anyone made when working on this game was calling it Soulframe - it is in absolutely no way the "Fantasy Warframe" people are imagining. The designers say their big inspiration was Dragons Dogma. For me, I'd say the gameplay has a lot of the feel of Breath of the Wild. The combat is exceptionally tight. Easily one of the best combat systems I've ever played. There's not a huge amount to do yet, but it's early access, that's understandable, and I think they absolutely made the right choice in nailing the feel of the game before worrying about how much of it there is.

divinity original sin 2: definitive edition(I have to say the full thing every time, so it annoys my partner.) diddy kong racing (craving chunky bright colored polygons, and racist charicatures flying on carpets gifting golden balloons) and super mario world. (mandatory)

haven't played any games in months. too busy and too tired.

Ball X Pit. Just bouncing my baby balls all over the place is the best.

I only played one game, but it has been great: Tunic.

I wish my computer could run this game. On my short list of games I know I'll love.

Runs fine on the Steam Deck, just sayin’.
