Started a new fort in Dwarf Fortress. I’m trying to make all decisions based on the preferences of whatever dwarf is in charge.

I started playing Baba is You. Simple looking game but very challenging. A lot of times I feel completely stuck before eventually finding a solution.

I really enjoyed it. I think it was a bit easier but also improved in several ways.

Hatris just when I feel like killing some time.
I started my first Terraria game since the covid lockdowns. Just wanted to show off something fun to my daughter, but then I got lost in it for a few hours.

Drop Duchy Roguelike Tetris/card/city builder. 13 hours in and it’s solid./L Description from the Steam page does a good job of explaining an unconventional roguelike.
Drop Duchy - Build your duchy piece by piece in this refreshing hybrid rogue-lite game. Use block-dropping mechanics to collect resources, recruit troops to fight against belligerent armies, and let every block shape your realm, leading your path to victory!
Webbed This deceptively simple metroidvania is based around using spiderwebs as the main mechanic for puzzle solving. You have two web modes: swinging or pulling yourself to a surface or creating persistent webs. The webs stay when you leave the current screen/room so when you spend time making yourself a ramp to get somewhere you don’t need to redo it again when you return to an area.
I also thought it was a cool touch that they made it accurate to nature in that the male spider is a riot of color and the female is grey/browns. I think they’re based on peacock spiders and the protagonist is the female.

Four operations away from finishing my The Wonderful 101 playthrough on hard!
I'm getting better juggling kaiju, but still not good enough to stylishly kill in one knockout. Sometimes I accidentally end up drawing a weapon too large and it throws off my timing… I'm trying to get more consistent at getting the size right.
I may stop and go back to get Platinums on all stages on normal before moving on to Hard 101%, but I haven't decided yet. I love this game!

I’ve been replaying Ender Lilies recently. Probably won’t play through the whole game again, but I was in the mood to see it again after playing Ender Magnolia.

How was Magnolia? I loved Lillies.

I am currently playing Project Zero 2 (fatal frame in america) and having a blast. I really love fixed camera horror games. I have so many memories of playing it with my father.
I use RetroAchievements for it too which is pretty challenging.

After getting emulation station desktop edition installed on my phone, I’ve been playing my definitely legally ripped versions of Wario Land 4, Advance Wars, and Zelda the Minish Cap. I’m on a real Game Boy Advance binge at the moment, as I didn’t get to play much of it as a kid, whilst also feeling that it’s like the Super Nintendo generation but with more modern game design choices.

Advance Wars
I bought an Anbernic RG35XX H little handheld system and have been having fun with mostly GBA games the past couple days.
SteelCoffee@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Nice! I’ve got a similar device that I’ve been hooked on for a year or so now. The GBA catalogue is so big and so good, no sign of getting stale.
B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I’ve already bought my 2nd handheld now as they are incredible value. Miyoo Flip V2 is on the way.

I’ve become obsessed with Mini Motorways. It’s so addictive but also so relaxing.
SteelCoffee@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I got sucked into that a while back, it truly is a great zen game. Now I want to download it again lol
MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ve been wrapping up my first ever proper playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins (and Awakening).
I bounced off it hard back in the day, but this time around I’ve been really loving it! Looking forward to continuing through the series in the future.

Amazing game!

Just started Trails of Cold Steel 2 after beating Octopath Traveler 2. It’s nice to come back to a JRPG where unit position matters. One of my favorite battle systems!
Ashtear@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
It’s a lot of fun. Round-less has always been my favorite way to do turn-based. I wish they’d do more with field positioning too (like the final boss of Zero), but the character kits are almost always cool and I like that they are always throwing in a tweak or two for the battle system.
DjMeas@lemm.ee 8 hours ago
I’m honestly shocked that don’t leverage that idea more where the terrain changes (unless they do later again in the series).
I started from Trails in the Sky FC two years ago and I actually regret not playing this series sooner. What’s funny is I got FC as part of a bundle ages ago but never got around to playing it. I probably won’t play the new remake until I finally catch up on all the games hahaha.

I‘m playing **GOD EATER 3 **with a friend and TemTem with my gf.
First of all, I have to use a VPN to see people move in TemTem, I googled it and this is the solution, in decades of gaming and hundreds of games played, this is the first time I have to do something like this and somehow the devs think it‘s not their but my ISP‘s problem.
„Hello, is this ISP? I‘d like to file a complaint: This one game isn‘t working as it should, can you change how your network runs for it? No, it’s just this one game, everything else is fine. …Hey, you can’t call me that!“
I honestly can‘t believe it lol. It‘s still fun although the monster designs seem a bit basic/shallow and I can rarely tell what type something is and even less what type would be effective. It catches the Pokemon flair quite well otherwise. Especially the part where I gotta bend over backwards to find a monster that has IVs I can live with.
GE3 I started playing with a friend thinking we might drop it cause it‘s from 2018 looking like it‘s a PSP port , but it‘s actually kinda solid fun. It‘s clunky af, we don‘t really know what we‘re doing and ignore half of the poorly-explained systems, still it‘s easy enough for that and the combat flow fun. Any Monster Hunter is probably a better use of your time though.

Been playing my way through Journey to the Savage Planet lately. I meant to get to it quite awhile back but eh. Life happens. It’s pretty fun and doesn’t take itself very seriously at all, lots of humor and some very charming creature and environment design. Best way I can think to summarize it is like “what if Subnautica was really, really stupid (in a good way)?”, only it seems to lack similar base building mechanics as far as I’ve seen so far. Also funnily enough the sequel is coming out like this week or something really soon.

I’ve started playing Final Fantasy XIV again. I was planning to do some fashion fun but then I remembered that as a free player my options are a bit limited (though not non-existent). Because of that I mostly focus on finishing the base story and grinding tailoring instead.
Not sure what I’ll do when I’m done with that but I’m having fun with that I have for now.

Enjoying Skyrim on my steam deck. Maybe this time I’ll finally actually finish quests instead of fucking about.
gac11@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
I’m playing Skyrim now too. First playthrough where I actually killed a dragon!
I always get caught up with side quests and messing around, but this time I’m gonna try to follow main quest line.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
I was a good patient gamer and only bought it after the release discount was gone.
