Replaying Hollow Knight, and still playing Dota2 lunchtimes with/against coworkers.

I've got a physical release of ketsui. Mahou Daisaikusen I forgot was Japan PSN only. Regions suck...I guess I'll make that Japanese PSN account someday before it gets randomly pulled for no reason.

Welp Play Asia has a summer sale, $2 off a 10000 yen card. I'd be a fool to NOT jump at that. Ketsui and Sorcer Striker are downloading now

edit
Just burned through a blind super easy 1CC of Ketsui. I’m at that weird skill level where easy modes are often way too easy but my list of standard difficulty clears is very small.

[lordgalvar]

Yea, I always feel like I'm at that level with 1CCs. I know it well. I haven't sat down and focused on a game since my pink sweets/eschatos run. I'm just playing for fun right now. I find my Samsung TV is impossible to play on. I think it's too big or the like refresh/smear messes with me*. The easy modes are welcome.

* I had an eye injury about a year ago and I was seeing halos and glare on street lights/headlights and stuff. Could be part of the reason. The portable switch has helped though.

ESP Ra De is coming to Switch IIRC, so that'll be good for you. IIRC you don't even have to create a new account to access the Japanese eShop, just change your system's location.


You know what I needed? More video games. They went and put the deluxe edition of Prey on sale for $8, and the internet keeps telling me that I'll like it because I like System Shock. I just hope it doesn't give me motion sickness like so many other FPS's do these days.

Multiplayer for the new Call Of Duty looks pretty slick.

My dad did some work for a person whose son left behind some PC parts after moving.
"They gave me this thing, it must be a computer fan or something, right?"
It's a free, brand-new Radeon 390x. Hell yeah!
I don't currently have a PC but the last gaming one I built was the shit, like...7 years ago. Maybe I'll make another soon!

[3205]

Finished Prey. Truly almost as good as System Shock 2. Places where it falls short are the soundtrack (decent, but no match for late 90's techno bangers) and the black alien goo dudes aren't half as interesting/freaky as The Many/Xerxes/SHODAN.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Yeah it's scary but not as much as I remember System Shock 2 being.

Instead of picking it back up I grabbed Into The Breach and I'm pretty hooked! More my style than FTL (which I still liked but elements of it didn't sit right) and I'm really enjoying it.

Into the Breach is a lot of fun, I played it for a while when it came out. Now that it's on Switch, I bet it makes a great game for handheld use. It's pretty cool once you start unlocking different squads and seeing how differently they are all played.

I want to play RE HD on my Switch, I didn't realize that it is $40au.

Thanks Capcom, I've already bought it 4 times I'll wait a bit.

[jrfox92]

Got into the Ghost Recon Breakpoint technical test.
I guess I'm technically under NDA and can't say anything specific about it.

But it's fucking garbage.

Yeah I really like the variation in the different playstyles.

Found about The Blackout Club and after looking into the developer, it looks like they do some nice work.

Anyone playing Super Mario Maker 2? My daughter and I have been making levels we want to share. Shitty thing is that they won't pop up for people playing Endless Mode until someone completes AND likes the course. So they might only get a little attention after the initial upload if someone is searching through new courses.

Throw up the codes man!!!
