New week, new thread! What are you playing? I dug out my physical copy of Yumina the Ethereal and installed it on Steam Deck. It's made by the same guy behind Aselia the Eternal. Played it years ago. It was really fun but the game crashed in dungeon on Win 10. Back then I searched for a solution but no dice. Abandoned it shortly afterwards. Now I realize that it probably needs DXVK to run on modern windows. Anyway, now I am running it through Lutris on the deck. Haven't gotten to the...

New week, new thread! What are you playing? Post-game depression continues. I played Megaton Musashi W a bit but I am not feeling it. Devoted most of my free time into movies instead. Let's see if I can enjoy some games this week.

New week, new thread! What are you playing? I finished both Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Girls' Frontline 2 event story today. Gaming heaven! :dualbladesblob: Returning to some other games tomorrow. Not sure what I will play though. Maybe Yakuza 0?

New thread, new week! What are you playing? I am putting most of my free time into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Act 2 at the moment. I think the main story has fallen off a bit. Honestly have no idea how the story will go. Gameplay-wise, it continues to be stellar. I want to have a talk with the person who designed the second G B though. You, you are pure evil. :jj_mofo:

New week, new thread! What are you playing? I am mainly playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. So good. Play it! Also playing Yakuza 0. Mostly putting time into Majima route at the moment.

New week, new thread. What are you playing? I am completely addicted to Yakuza 0 (again). I am putting more time into side content in earlier chapters because I know the random encounters in later chapters will become overbearing. Cabaret Club management is simply the best mini game, ever. I would pay money for a spinoff of it.

New week, new thread! What are you playing? Spent 4 hours to go through the new main story event of Girls' Frontline 2. Posted my impressions in the OT. It was great! Did not put much time into videogames as I was itching to watch some movies and invest into personal projects. Waiting for Expedition 33 to re-ignite my videogame wants again. :crystalblob:

New week, new thread! What are you playing? I am reading Iwakura Aria on Switch. Nothing to say at the moment because I plan to write a full review for it soon. You can find my demo impressions in the visual novel thread. https://metacouncil.com/threads/the-visual-novel-council-all-choices-lead-to-here.1061/page-58#post-392996

MC, are you ready for Switch 2?

We just finished a successful twenty-second season of the Backlog Blitz. Nintendo is celebrating this new season by announcing Switch 2 details. That's real cool of them. What is coming out over these next few months? I'm sure there's some notable titles but I've completely ignored release lists as I've been working on the backlog games this first quarter. But I think I'll have to start playing some newer games soon so good luck to all those growing backlogs! With 22 seasons completed we...

(Inspired from posts from other forum) So when you try to explore a long running series you have little or no experience with, how do you go about it? Do you speed run it, just visit a few highlights, or break it up over time? I have extremely scattered mind, and I was stuck on horrible stressful job, which changed my gaming style and habits in last three years. I pick and play anything. That said. Key Takeaway from below - If you take break due to other games or life stuff or my own...

New week, new thread! What are you playing? Final Fantasy XVI: At last, final dungeon (I presumed) appears on the world map. This game simply refuses to end and the atmosphere is so depressing. I will definitely play through it to its ending, but hell I am not collecting the achievements or replaying it in the future. Super Robot Wars V: Dug out this one from the library due to the Y announcement. I reached stage 4. It's fun. Space Battleship Yamato music tracks are so good. Girls'...

So our passion for gaming has been infected by those ever negative and grifting chuds and it makes so many spaces of our hobby quite unbearable. But what can we actually do about it? Like how do we stop someone going down that brain rot path? Also what is a Chud? So how does it manifest in gaming, mostly it is about complaining about "woke", "DEI' "Sweet baby inc". Essentially they see any inclusion of anything other than straight white poeple in games as "forced political values". So ff...
