Looks or Game Part II - Page 6

If you like rougelike's:
Hades
Slay the Spire (single player card game version)

Also:
The Last of Us
Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It's a sequel to Ori the Blind Forest, which is also excellent, but more of a platformer whereas WotW has more varied combat. Opinions differ on if you have to play the Blind Forest first. Probably yes for the story, but don't really need to to pick up the gameplay. Not sure if platformers are your jam but WotW def a masterpiece.

Hades looks excellent. I despise D2 on my Nintendo Switch so I am guessing I should play Hades on my PC?

I'll probably end up getting Slay the Spire on PC as well.

I can't decide if I like 3rd person games (The Last of Us) on console or PC. It's the same with Elden Ring tbh.

I DO know that I enjoy platformers on the Switch and not PC. Not sure which Ori I will play first at this point in time.

Thank you. I can stop bitching about what games to play now but I probably still will. Cyberpunk 2077 is calling my name as well as Detroit Become Human and Red Dead Redemption 2. I still want a PS5 but adding some of these should keep me busy and entertained. Bread and circus is all I need until it isn't.

yeah slay the spire is really good. i find it hard but still had fun with it. back 4 blood also has a card system.

Ye slay the spire is awesome. Hades, too.

Played Slay The Spire a bit this morning. Definitely fun. I've had hardcore Magic: The Gathering and poker addictions so this game could fit right in. Downloading Hades as I type.

Hades is the shit.

Hades was great on the switch. Can vouch for both Ori's being good on the switch as well. I play StS on computer and assume that has to be the best version of it. No real input on TLOU for systems. Played it on PS4 I think, which rocked.

There is a lot of choices for both of these games. Hard for a noob to know the +EV / implications for a lot of these choices. Fun times though. Better than looking up the S Tiers for the current Diablo 2 ladder and copying a build or watching pro gamers play to figure out builds / creep orders in Warcraft 3 / League of Legends.

I am going to stick with Elden Ring / Hades on PC mostly because that is where I have the games. I am better with a console controller at this point but will be forced to improve at qwerasdf, etc. keyboard control or keep dying.

I'll start on WotW and TLOU today too. This is awesome.

No go on The Last of Us. I don't have a PS3 or PS4 or PS5... yet. I'll keep it in mind.

No take backs in StS. Missed an easy play to win. Realized mistake right when I played the card. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu they say there is no losing. Only winning or learning. It hurts to lose more in StS because I fancy myself as a good cardplayer. Games like Limbo and Hades it just feels more acceptable to die to learn. I should have the patterns down better in Hades by this point though.

Ori is an amazing game on first impression. Controls are fun. The world is beautiful. It has a lunarpunk aesthetic to it which I love.

I was once destitute and now I am rich. Of course, PoorUser is the man.

I'm pretty rusty at Tetris and after watching bots play I realize I was never any good to begin with. It was a part of a feature deal on the Switch. Any Switch users should check it out. I got Hades, Will of the Wisp, Celeste, and Tetris Connected for less than $50.

League of Legends, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and Elder Scrolls Online got the chopping block so I could have room for Red Dead Redemption 2. Not sure about RDR2 yet. It looks good on the computer but I'm just not sure yet. Plus, I played 82 minutes and quit and I'm not even sure the game saved at any point. I started playing Celeste as well. That's a fun one. You can get it for $4.99 at the moment for the Switch. Damn good deal. RDR2 is 67% off on Steam atm too which ends up being $19.97.

I think about playing poker again too. Always thought NLHE was a great game short-handed and heads-up. There are a lot of cool variants but that has to be my favorite game even though I was relatively better at PLO back in the day. My PC is pretty decent now to run sims but that is a lot of work. I think I'm better of in gaming bliss tbh and I am doing so much gaming to find myself lonely in the down time. Bread and circus only works so well. I might make another AA comeback. Especially, since I have been considering edibles a little bit too much lately. I don't think it's a good idea but caffeine, little bit stoned, and poker / video games has always been a lot of fun for me.

I'm way better at Hades on the Switch than I am on PC. Like, substantially better. Although, part of that could be because I've already played a few hours of it on PC. But, at the end of the day I think I just have way better Switch controller control than keyboard and mouse control for games like that. The game is only $12.99 right now on the Switch. That is a steal.

It makes me wonder how I would do with a PS4 controller at Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2. Well, guess what? We will find out because a co-worker of mine said he would give me a PS4 controller to hook up to my PC.

Sometimes I feel so alone yet others I am in gaming bliss. I am missing some things surely but can I blot that out with bread and circus? Tendies and vidya? Doritos Nacho Cheese, Monster Energy Drink, and The Vidya Gaem?

Time will tell. I do have urges to be social and am definitely missing human connection but for now it seems to be working decently. There is a lot of vidya to catch up with which is why I will inevitably get a PS5.

Man, LP is as dead as a doorknob. I have nothing scandalous to report. No surprises, I have just been playing a lot of video games and keeping the place tidy. My room is still a mess but the common areas are clean at least.

I have really been enjoying the video gaems I've been playing but I want a PS5. I've also considered starting poker back up again since my new computer can handle sims better. I want to play hu but rake at lower stakes is probably just stupid. Maybe I can find hu sngs that are playable. On second thought, poker is a really stupid idea. HU NLHE is such a fun game though. If I think back I was always my happiest with some caffeine, little bit marijuana, and some sort of video game / poker. I've said this before but I think it's important. It's important to be closest to my truest self. I have to be careful here because I was also at my happiest when I had way too much to drink, way too much to smoke, and the room was bordering on spinning but I would just lie in bed or be on my computer blasting like Radiohead or Bjork or whoever and being in a state of total bliss. It's actually kind of similar to when I am writing my thoughts down here and listening to Boris Brejcha. I didn't mind being so alone today either. Just lying in my bed letting contemplation lightly linger. I have enough vidya that works that I am generally ok. My therapist says I am so alone and need to make friends or at least attempt to go out or get to some AA meetings. I made note of this and maybe I will or maybe I won't.

Tomorrow my co-worker said he's getting me a PS4 controller. We will see. I am thinking of just getting a PS5 controller with blue tooth. I feel like Red Dead Redemption 2 will play a lot better on a PS5 controller. On keyboard + mouse it's convoluted although it's easy to boom headshot motherfuckers all day with the mouse. I don't know we will see. I'll probably be better at Elden Ring with a PS5 controller too. I wonder how I will charge said controller... hmmmm.... I'm sure there is an answer to that.

I wonder if the dishwasher is done yet...

Happy Holidays ya'll.

Awesome. Glad you are enjoying them. You'll have to let me know what you think of them when you finish them up.

Playing Valheim with the fam. It's pretty fun. My first house is atrocious and I mis-clicked and boarded myself into the house.
