    Not about videogames, but my master announced that our DnD campaign will be put on hiatus after the current arc is finished, as he doesn’t have time anymore to prep.

    I’m considering mastering a short campaign, but it’s really difficult. I don’t like half-assing things and I end up spending too much time on prep, and eventually stop having fun.

    It’s also a very heterogeneous group this time around, compared to the last time I mastered a campaign, which makes things a bit more difficult.

      You gotta put “game” or “dungeon” in front of the word “master” for this my dude.

      I’m currently addicted to BG3! I spent basically my entire weekend playing, and I think I’m close to the end of act 1. I’m playing a Druid.

    I started helping a friend with his first playthrough of Elden Ring and I’ve been completely sucked back in. I’ve got a couple new characters going now

    My partner and I are chest-deep into BG3. We had a third teammate, but he got too busy with life…and wasn’t really a team player to begin with. But we’re absolutely loving the game and have happily become unproductive members of society since we started playing a few weeks ago.

        I just started with oil (for the first time getting that far and made my first train too!) and I can’t help but want to start over again from scratch to make everything cleaner…

        The factory must grow, yes but THERE MUST BE ORDER

        I also made a circuit system which was actually surprisingly simple. I only did it to make it so that it would leave some oil behind in a tank instead of pushing it all into the train, but it was pretty cool

          You can always just start a new base next to your old base and divert resources to the new one. Eventually you can just delete the old base.

    I’m on my second attempt at playing Dark Souls 1 on PC. I know it’s a meme but holy moly does this game not give a fuck about you. Lately I’ve been trying to play games on harder difficulties and avoid guides in order to be forced to utilize every mechanic, but Dark Souls is breaking me.

    The lack of direction the player is given and unforgiving gameplay is too much for me though. I’ve resorted to looking up tips on combat, builds, and items, and how to progress now and again.

    Overall though it’s a lot of fun. The enemies are so well designed and every time I see a miniboss waiting for me in the distance my butt clenches, which is a very fun experience that not many games are able to deliver.

    I still think there are aspects of the game that are needlessly frustrating. Some enemies seem like a cruel joke, mainly the freaking ghosts that move and attack through walls. Also I wish there was more direction, NPCs I could talk to or something that would give me ideas on where I should be going. Wandering around and dying repeatedly is only fun for so long imo.

    I’m glad a game like this exists for people who are not whiny wusses like me though.

      It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it

    I’m playing a co-op bg3 campaign but I’m otherwise burnt out on it (onlymissing 2 achievements) so I’m thinking about picking up Wargroove 2. Anybody playing that? I think I would like it but it’s hard to tell from the trailers.

    I love tactics games and have been looking for a new one like Advanced Wars, Frostpunk…hell even bg3 combat. I started Divinity 2 but it feels bad to play immediately after bg3 so I’m gonna give it a few months

    Finally beat Sea of Stars, and have gone back to play Megaman Battle Network Collection, starting with #1. Definitely not the best entry in the series, but it’s got good bones. Looking forward to getting to #2.
