Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is my current game I’m spending the most time in. It’s Fire Emblem but now has little dungeons! They don’t add too much, honestly, but they break up the straight strategy combat with a simplified turn based RPG style. Something new, so that’s fun. Looks great; plays great.

I do like the story of my character Leda so far. It’s more “mature” than I expected as it often talks about murder and revenge. I’m eager to see what the other paths are like.

Silent Hill: Townfall is next. My friends and I always play a scary game together during the season, so this came out at a perfect time. About halfway through it, and I like it a lot!

Final Fantasy XIV: I mean, this is the goat. I’m always playing this. Eager to clear up any side activities before the new expansion in January.

Hell yeah.

I finally just got all my classes to level 100 this month. Now I just need to play Beastmaster.

My free company also finally got into building airships and stuff so we’ve been doing that.

I have:

Star Wars: Zero Company

Orbitals

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave

Control 2

FFXIV

all going at the same time for the next few months. I could not care less about GTA.

This is the one that grinds my gears.

I have an ongoing joke for these games in my friend discord where anytime one comes up (because there’s always one in a gaming showcase) I put

“<NOUN>fall, yet another game in the long running -fall series.”

My headcanon is that they all are in the same universe.

Me, a normal FFXIV player: “I thought MMO communities were super nice and helpful.*”

*The reason I bounced from WoW is because I started to hate the people I was interacting with, and FFXIV almost has none of this shit. You couldn’t pay me to play WoW again.

I just ticked over the 20 hour mark in the latest Fire Emblem, and I’m like, “Yeah this is real good.”

I mean, it’s both, right?

We all agree wages suck shit, but my company bought 64GB of RAM for our laptops last year for about $200 each, and right now that same stuff is, what, $900?

Both things can be true at once.

The GameCube came out when I was a senior in high school. That first night my friend and I stayed up all night and beat Rogue Squadron. It was awesome.

Then going into college the next year with Smash Bros was amazing. Tournaments in the dorm lobby all the time. The handle was such a good idea.

One of my biggest issues is that every face seems to have had a different “style,” a different design aesthetic.

There are several races in Hyrule, sure, whatever. But Zelda is wildly different than Link who is wildly different than Ganon or Impa, and they all look different than the townsfolk.

They wanted to make things “realistic” with this doll aesthetic thing, but as you try to be more realistic when all the faces look different that stands out.

That Zelda sure is terrifying.

I haven’t run into any game breaking bugs on PS5 (Pro, at least). It’s unfortunate that it seems like PC has had the brunt of the bugs.

I’ve definitely seen some shadow bugs and texture things, but the game runs smooth for the most part otherwise.

I hope they get a chance to fix the issues.

I don’t really like this headline.

The WNBA isn’t in an uproar. Some conservative idiots are in an uproar about another boogeyman they made up.

So unpopular the entire league got giant raises to their salaries this year, viewership is up, and more people attended the WNBA all star game than the MNBA’s.

Hell yeah.

By everyone’s beloved Steam.

Heh, mine is a 2019 Crosstrek, so, yeah, I understand.

So glad my 2019 car is a standard but still has CarPlay.

Like, CarPlay is about the most “smart” feature I need/want. I just want a good map and the ability to play podcasts and listen to music easily. That’s it.

Since it’s a standard the car couldn’t get any of the “smart” features I didn’t want anyway.

I’ll drive the car, thanks.

Do we know yet if you still have to mash X to run? In the year of our lord 2026?

Most beer tastes like garbage to me so it’s easy to not buy it.

Linux nerds: “Ahh, you use Windows! You should be using Linux like me!” pushes up glasses

Some person: “Oh, OK. Ubuntu looks nice.”

LN: “NO NOT THAT ONE. That one is for losers or intellectually challenged people! You must like the one I like!” pushes glasses up into brain

(And we wonder why people don’t take the time to switch. Some of you guys are toxic.)
