Hello everyone. Welcome to 2026. This week, I returned home from being on vacation for the holidays to resume my playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy, starting my replay of ME3.

Doing full renegade Shepherd, the dreams about the child become very funny; why would Full Renegade shepherd care. Anyway, hope everyone has had a good start to their year

    got into a debt spiral due to building upkeep/extreme vassal disloyalty in my eu5 campaign so i’m putting that on hold til the new balance patch comes out. only got to about 1650 or so but definitely learned a lot that will help in the next run.

    got an elden ring playthrough going right now, bonk build ofc heavy greatsword charged attack bullshit, risky build but very satisfying to take a large chunk of boss HP if it connects.

    also playing tlou2 remaster. brought up to my partner how neil druckmann is a huge zionist so it’s fun analyzing everything that happens in game through that lens. combat is fucking brutal and the really dark stealth sections hit super hard. also really fun exploring overgrown abandoned shit finding ammo or upgrades or whatever, or just looking at paintings, moss textures, shadows a weird light makes, the view.

    edit: almost forgot! also playing some LA Noire. looking up some answers to get perfect cases because it’s not intuitive to me if people are lying or not but i’m loving the vibe.

      Tbh a lot of those facial expressions are famously incomprehensible so I think that’s fine lol. It’s been a while since I played; do you get anything for getting perfect cases?
