Finished, (100%), tails of iron.
Lovely game. Kind of reminded me of ´Hollow knight´  but actually doable, with a combat system that doesn´t rely solely on dodging.
Low key funny, too.

I started it when I was on the last battle of tlou, remastered. I had booted up my old copy again. Played it on grounded; the hardest difficulty.
But I hit a Wall in this final confrontation.

Finished tails of iron before even finishing tlou.

I recommend.

Finally finished grounded mode.
Fuck that last level.
And most of all, fuck the sniper level.
Love tlou as a game, though.

I have a copy of Malfoy's serpent staff. And the Elder wand and the sword of Gryffindor.

Long story.

I'm implying that they release 2 new games a week.  I'm exaggerating of course, but there has been a lot of activity lately.

Sweet mother of Jawas, that's more games than I realized.

Messing around with mods in Endless Space 2.  I swear, this game is a time machine.

Playing as custom Cravers and this time, I played extremely aggressively and very "wide" (rapidly conquer lots of systems, but don't invest a lot of resources in building them up)

This faction is very, very good at warfare (to the point it's like that "Spartans, what is your profession?" scene from 300), and I'm pleased to report that I took the enemy capital by surprise and with minimal resistance because their main fleet was too far away to defend.

The downside is that everybody else hates me and now I'm at war with the remaining two empires, which is actually a good thing because other people's hate literally makes my people happy.

I managed to conquer enough territory to get my gods to take me back (it's complicated), giving me a pretty significant buff and making warfare even more beneficial.  Now I just have to solidify my very thinly-guarded territory, then smash the other two enemy empires - one has a formidable industrial base and can pump out warships like crazy, the other chases glory and strengthened with every victory (they're basically klingons) so I have to be very careful and only use overwhelming force.  They tenaciously resist any invasion, so they're a tough nut to crack.  And the way things are going, they'll probably form an alliance...

Recently returned to South Park: The Stick of Truth. It's a pretty good game. Not the most deep of RPGs, but it's serviceable. Lots to explore and collect. You have your own self-insert character who can't talk, and of course, the game often makes fun of your awkward silence. You get a choice between the typical four classes: The fighter, the wizard, the sneaky guy, and the...Jew. The game is full of typical South Park brand humor. "Magic" is just farts. You go around fighting the homeless, throwing turd nuggets at enemies, finding Jesus' hiding spots. That kind of thing. It gets away with some surprisingly raunchy stuff.

In fact, I think I might be in trouble. My brother-in-law brought up the South Park RPGs last Easter and said he was interested in them. I told they were pretty good. Recommend he try them. That was why I got back into the game.

But first few minutes after I start playing, I get to the part where your character is shrunk to a tiny size, and they're crawling around the vents. The player character's parents start having sex, so I have to listen to that in the background. So now I'm imagining my brother-in-law getting to that part of the game and scrambling to mute the TV.

But that won't help him much, because it's not just something you hear. Soon after, there's a boss fight on your parents' bed, as they're having sex right over your head, unaware of your presence. After doing enough damage to the boss, there's a quicktime event to avoid being smashed by your father's balls.

So yeah. Hope my sister isn't around when her husband is playing that part of the game. I don't know if I should warn him or something, but just bringing it up is awkward. lol

Uhh... More about the game. There are some things I find annoying. You're constantly finding new gear, which is better than your old gear. But your character is supposed to be role-playing for a fantasy setting. It would have been nice if there was an option to keep the stats of better gear, but the appearance of another set of gear, like what some other games have. That way my appearance wouldn't be dictated by what has the best stats. There is an option to dye most gear, though, so at least there's that.

There's also something I find annoying about junk items. These items are things you find in the game world by breaking things, looting containers, or defeating enemies. They have no use except to be sold. If you sell all of your stack of a certain item, the game will present it to you like it's a brand new item, which is annoying. So I'd try to sell all but one of each stack. But every time you sell an item, it jumps up to the top of the list, and you have to scroll back down every single time. Hope the sequel fixed that, because I hate it when buying or selling items in a game is needlessly annoying and time consuming. Looking at you, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I like games where item stats and appearance are mix-and-match.

My Guild Wars 2 character runs around in fairly basic leather, the sort of clothes anyone can get in their early levels, but my outfit makes for a very striking-looking swashbuckler.

Looks way better than the glowy, overly complex, and asymmetric outfits at the cash shop.
