What GAMES are you Playing Right Now?

[Shanny8]

@simplykit yeah I havent really posted much because I havent been making super big changes to things; the latest re-design was to my kitchen, but it's not really complete coz there's a rug that I dont have yet...I'm really close to getting all the flowers the game has and I need to finish up Happy Home Paradise(the goal is 50 homes- I've only done like 30 something)- after that, I'm done. I may wipe the game and come back to it in a couple of yrs if Nintendo doesn't introduce a new version of Animal Crossing.

I bought Lego Star Wars last year on Black Friday(and bought Zelda BOTW in 2020) but haven't played yet.

whoa! vision issues? what happened dude? hope its not anything serious

It's mostly just eye twitching, which is probably caused by a mix of stress and computer eye strain. Sometimes 3D POV games can cause issues for me.

[Shanny8]

That used to happen to me back around 2015-2018; weirdly, I havent experienced it in the last 3 years. Definitely from a LOT of staring at the computer while I did art.

[simplykit]

@bronte448 heh old gen snails will do that. wait till you encounter a naked guy with his junk on display lol

@Shanny8 yooo your gonna 100% it bro? you a completionist huh? hell yeah hardcore gamer!

thats nice, you got some games to look forward to. especially LOZ BOTW

@NickRowler maybe you should have that looked at bro. we gamers need good eyes to enjoy the pleasures of 3d boobies err i mean triple A games! wooh!

@simplykit Well I did pay for Happy Home, and I'm like REALLY close to getting everything(just got some purple windflowers from a peer- the only flower left is the green mum); Not in the zone to begin a new game at least until November/December(when football season dies down a bit) when I'll have the extra attention span to focus through something like Zelda.

ACNH is/was a fun game I hate that they nipped it after a year...I felt like they could've added on to this game to make it even better, but I also can't help but feel some of the people playing and complaining might've ruined whatever plans they had for it(aside from them also taking a little longer than usual on updates)...truthfully, it was the MAIN reason why I bought a Switch, but I'll play Zelda as well as play some of the classic Nintendo stuff online that I used to play when I was younger.

I do need to get back to World of Final Fantasy on my PS4- it's fun but I'm at this part where I'm grinding to level up so that I can beat one of those Eidolons because the first time I fought her, she destroyed me real quick.

[simplykit]

@Shanny8 heh everybody has their own gamer pace, so you do you buddeh

tsk2 those trolls have something to complain about EVERYTHING. theyll scrutinize and find the smallest detail they can to ruin a game. i just play for fun lol

hells yeah dude, you should play FF, its my jam. too bad i cant play the latest ones coz of my weak PC lol

playing a new game...

[VibrantFox]

started playing alchemia story again after finding it by chance on steam (also forgot i'd had an account on there). didn't realize how long it's been since i've played tho i'm still in the early parts of the game story but apparently completed enough side quests or just earned enough exp from other playthroughs my account compiled (asobimo acct) and maxed out some of the level one job classes. dunno how long it'll take to get back to the last chapter i'd left off on in my farthest playthrough but with all the improvements to leveling, gear upgrading and attacks i doubt it'll be too long

also still grinding through splatoon 3 and managed to finish out the last seasons catalog just a few days before it ended so now it's about plowing through the new drizzle season. Very hyped for the upcoming anniversary splatfest since it's mirroring some of the previous games with an idol v idol fest so really hoping team frye can pull through and win (the shiver simps have been relentless the past few fests ) but we also got a big run that's just started today so hoping i can use it as a chance to rack up a bunch of catalog points and if i'm lucky some scales for grizzco gear, splashtags and stickers. i even managed to get the orange gloopsuit from splat 2 that they added so thinking i'll go for the pink and blue slopsuits next

Sea of Stars on the Switch.
I play a bit of FFXIV but there isn't much to do until the new patch.

[VibrantFox]

the anniversary fest has been going since friday/saturday and all i can do is scream i feel. the matches have been crazy intense and all my competitive brain can do is nitpick plays other teammates are making or failing to make not inking base, not paying attention to enemies slipping past an attempted spawn camp, even trying to camp in the first place or just really really messy turf coverage and like no movement/maneuvering in the field

on one hand i keep telling myself i'm taking it too seriously (which maybe i am) but at the same time i'm like desperate to get at least one more win for Frye since it's been nothing but back to back Shiver for the past few fests and the simps have been really annoying

What's been wild about this fest tho is my most intense matches are against team Big Man and it's like I'm used to "sweaty" players in turf but it's almost been downright grueling in some of the matches (i've had to take way more breaks than i usually do when turfing) so i'm almost nervous to see what the heck the final results will be when they hit by the end of today if not tomorrow (i forget when this fest ends)

I admit it has been a lot of fun albeit more than a little frustrating at times but the vibes have been pretty nice i guess what with all the confetti and fireworks over the night stages and the usual procession from Deep Cut. Biggest highlight is having won a handful of 10x battles but also a heckin 100x so i def took like a bajillion photos on the parade float

feel like i might take a break from the thing till we get more Side Order news (i'm starved for this story so the silence has been killing me) but knowing me i'll probably sneak back on for a match or two when i'm craving ink battles again

Super Mario Maker for the level editor​

[allenT]

Trying some old abandonware games. 'Guimo' is a hardcore flatformer-shooter, a pleasant surprise.

[Lensing]

My brother and me are playing Generation Zero which is some kind of postapoacalyptical shooter,
you fight robots and it plays in the 1980s. My brother likes it, I always have a hard time getting
used to new games. I don´t know why.

Still playing prominence poker, it´s going good in this season but not as good as it used to be.
I used to be in the top 10, now I´m place 500 or something.

And GTA and I have a flying car now which makes the game way more fun

And here is a funny meme I found. My brother and me had exactly that setup and game.
We had the black Vader console though

I"m an avid D&D player (my story is basically the backstory to the campaign I DM!), but I do also play many video games. Deep into both Baldurs Gate 3 and Dark Souls at the moment, and am gonna start Lies of P the moment I finish one or the other!

[thepenmonster]

I played Star Trek Online for a couple of weeks recently. Then I discovered endgame was either grind for a couple of months for a more powerful ship, pay cash for a more power ship, or die a lot.

I uninstalled.

[rumpenstiltzkin]

I dont know much about baldurs gate but since my tiktok got flooded with BG3 content im now im deep into that game lately
I do love a good character customization in a game, here be my drow

[allenT]

Critter Cove (Steam beta playtest), it's a kids-friendly cozy game like Animal Crossing.
Nice character customization system.

[Innocynce]

I might play this soon!

Any other games that you'd suggest from this era, style and genre? Every time I see something like this, I feel really hyper and nostalgic, despite having never played any of these nor either having seen a physical Super Nintendo Console
