I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my “I got the Phoenix” world tour and handed him to the Shek.
Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I’m assuming that’s just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I’ll still have gotten my money’s worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.
Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It’s just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)


I was playing a lot of Hades II, working on clearing the Night’s Champion challenge, but a new patch came out the other day that added new events leading up to and after the True Ending, and it kind of killed my motivation to keep playing tbh. I don’t really want to go back and redo the story for the stuff I missed, but I don’t want to just keep playing and never see it either… So I think I’m just gonna stop playing for a while and start over whenever I feel like it.
Otherwise I’ve been playing Wind Waker mostly. I also started Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman this morning, it’s a very silly Shiren the Wanderer style roguelike that’s inspired by tokusatsu. I’m enjoying it so far but I haven’t played much yet, I’m still in the tutorial dungeon.
Hades I is the only game I have had this experience (Devs adding more and well executed content) where it made me stop playing for about a year.
Yeah… Like I appreciate that they are willing to keep working on and improving their game, and I still enjoyed it plenty up to this point, but it is kinda frustrating to wait like a year and a half for the game’s 1.0 release only for them to change things a month after the fact. Kinda makes me wish they had just kept it in early access for longer.
Yeah, completely relatable. I put this one down while I was still excited about it just to not have this experience.
