    Blue Protocol! It’s been the kick in the ass I’ve needed to finally give language learning an earnest shake since it’s JP-only for now. And I have zero intention of trying Amazon’s neutered global release next year since I’m sure they’ll “”“localize”“” the lolis among other things.

        It adds a bunch of different stuff that the original engine was lacking, like Distant Terrain, the ability to use textures with actual bump maps, native support for macOS and Linux, and better physics/smarter AI. Since it is made from scratch, it also lacks virtually all of the bugs that the original morrowind engine had. There’s alot of other features too, but the list is too exhaustive to go over in a single post.

    I don’t game much, but a game I’ve absolutely been enjoying when I feel like playing is “Plateup!”. It’s like Overcooked, but if overcooked was a fun game, a roguelike and had a bunch of cool mods!

    Occasionally, I also work on my Minecraft modding project, which I’ve been on and off working on for a few years now. To try and bring the game back to a time where I enjoyed it, adding features I’d like to see and removing ones I didn’t like added.

      PlateUp! was the hotness among my friends for like a month, and then it poofed as quickly as it appeared.

      The cultural zeitgeist really baffles me at times, but I will say it did seem quite fun.

        I am someone who does not get tired of things easily, I hook onto it and it becomes one of the few things I play for years, it’s very difficult to get me into other things. I’ll play pretty much anything, mainly because games are just a way for me to do something while talking with friends, the game isn’t important. But very few games are actually fun for me.

          Similar here but maybe from the other direction. I like to be a Discord cheerleader to whatever my friends are playing, unless it’s certain multiplayer games that we all play.

          And with that one sentence, I’ve probably made clear my actual commitment to FOSS, lol.

      Ya, there’s a few cool beta rollback mods out there. I’ll link you the one I like to use once I can get back to my computer in 8 hours.

        I like the rollback mods, however the experience I’m trying to recreate with the mod I’m programming is the feel of a modded game back in the day. Not just returning to Alpha minecraft, but returning to Modded Alpha Minecraft. So far, I think i’m doing an okay job. Been modding on 1.6.4, since the way modding works got completely changed after that, and I have no interest learning everything over again, especially when I’m removing most of the new features as is.

    A whole bunch, really. I usually play a few matches of splatoon 3 a day, I recently picked legends arceus back up again on my main console instead of the lite, I’m in the middle of another playthrough of pokemon white 2 since my favorite YouTube is also playing it, and I’m still going through xenoblade 3.

    Mainly Blue Archive. I want to play Blue Protocol but foreign players are being actively banned. I don’t want to play a game where I can get banned at anytime so I’m going to skip it if the situation doesn’t change even though I’ve been looking forward to this game for several years.

    I’d been playing Pokemon X, but took a break when Citra started crashing every 30 seconds or so. I’ve completely changed out that computer now. I should try again, because that game is super cute and uplifting.

      Gen 6 pokemon always gives me mixed feelings, because I had a ton of fun with it back in the day, and it got me into the competitive scene, but with the benefit of hindsight, it’s where the death spiral into modern pokemon started.

        Haha this is probably a controversial opinion, but I enjoyed Pokemon Sword (it was the first one I played… well, kinda: had X for a very short time but didn’t get to play it). Although, the wild areas in Sword weren’t the best.

        I couldn’t get into Arceus because it was basically all wild area. I know it sounds dumb, but I liked the same old story and formula. It was fun to go around and battle all the trainers and enjoy their banter or praise.

        Once I finish X I plan on playing some even older ones.

          I got into pokemon at the start of Gen 5 when I was in elementary school, and basically immediately went back and played platinum and heart gold. I’ve played them all since, and with a combination of hindsight and cynicism, I more or less got in at the peak, and have watched it coast downhill since.

          My issue with pokemon sword is that it just felt insubstantial, for lack of a better word. Hop was, in some parts quite literally, a reused hau from Gen 7, the complete dead metagame of dynamaxing along with the removal of Megas and z moves, the dex cuts, the wild areas somehow managed to emphasize how small the game was, it really just ended up being a perfect storm of mediocrity to me. The new pokemon were cool as always, and I actually really loved crown tundra, but it was the first time I found myself just mashing through to get to the end of the game, and that’s when it really all hit me.

          I’m still really enjoying arceus because it has just the right amount of mundane box checking to be a sort of half-focused relaxing game for me, and they absolutely nailed the atmosphere.

          Because I’m just built different, I replayed Gen 6 in the time after this interaction (Y, specifically), I would solidly rank it as my 4th favorite generation, behind 5, 4, and 7, in that order. And that’s nothing against Gen 6, there’s just a lot of really strong pokemon games.

          To sort of clarify my thoughts, Gen 6 is where I feel pokemon first started a sort of “two steps forward, one step back” sort of improvement, which is really why I have such mixed feelings about it.

            Oh wow, you started and beat Y already? Impressive! I’m such a filthy casual. 🙇

            My desires to self insert in those cutscenes with Shauna are, admittedly, a large source of bias for me in favor of X. I haven’t yet played 7th or 5th gen, though… they’re queued up as my next plays, then I’ll hit 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Gen (an actual older Gen 1, not Let’s Go, as I burned out playing Go… now that I think about it. maybe that’s why I dislike Arceus).

              In the least condescending way, everything Gen 6 and after is basically just easy mode compared to the past games, especially since I wasn’t doing any sort of a challenge run.

              Also, I wasn’t going for side content since I’ve seen it all multiple times, and the main story is only like 6-7 hours if you already know what you’re doing.

              Add onto that the fact that I’m currently in online college, which gives me tons of free time, and the fact I caught a 2 week ban from league of legends, playing through Y was a fun side thing when I wasn’t doing something else.

              My desires to self insert in those cutscenes with Shauna are, admittedly, a large source of bias for me in favor of X

              The Gen 6 characters are really fun, no contest there

    Just finished the main story of Cassette Beasts, a comfy tactical monster taming RPG that doesn’t infantilize you or try to be Pokemon (or make a big point about not being Pokemon). It’s easily one of the best games I’ve played this year. Now that I’ve beaten it though i might try to beat the last few slugcats in rainworld or tackle terraria again.

    Honkai Star Rail, Deep Rock Galactic, Space Engineers. Lots of space themed games, and even more in my recent history of the past few months. Non-space wise, I have Minecraft of course, and Rogue Legacy 2.

    I’m currently giving the demo for Lakeburg Legacies a try. It sort of reminds me of the Crusader Kings series, only with less war and history and more matchmaking and random events.
