Peak

I‘m still playing Peak, if the stupid tomb opens today, I could get the last achievement! The next update is already in the works though, lookinf forward to it.

Children of Morta

Aside from that, my friend‘s back in town so we‘re also trying to finish Children of Morta. We have freed the three dudes, so I think we‘re close to the end.

Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol

What a time we live in

Yes, those are lagspikes from the server IIRC.

I‘ve decided it‘s time to catch up in the gacha games I‘m playing, all stories have been pretty good so I‘m having a good time in Genshin/Zenless/WuWa

All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…

I‘ve been playing Legend of Grimrock which had been collecting dust on my account for over a decade, and I can now confidently say that these kinda games are not for me lol

Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!

Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!

(And Fire Emblem please lol)

The appeal is that it‘s a great game with beautiful art that runs on just about anything for an affordable price with no modern fuckery attached.

But if metroidvanias aren‘t your thing, it‘s just not your thing. I‘m also not super obsessed with them and played the first game a fair amount but not that much; I do, however, get why people just want to be hyped for something that doesn‘t spit in their face in return for once.

Alan Wake

Putting the finishing touches on Alan Wake (the really old one). I‘m not much of a horror guy (and it‘s not much of a horror game), so mainly the story kept me going lol. Probably just gonna watch a playthrough of 2 to know how it continues.

Peak

Otherwise, I‘ve been playing some Peak with my gf and I really like it. The generated levels keep it fresh, the swap out only every 24 hrs gives ample opportunity to get familiar with the mountain. I wish it had DLSS and/or FSR though, the performance is abysmal for what it‘s rendering, the integrated „scaler“ looks pretty poor. My PC‘s screaming when I play this for no apparent reason lol

I‘m gonna try to avoid reading any of this or the comments cause I have it in lib unplayed and don‘t wanna spoil myself…

BUT I have a question: I‘m really bad at handling horror games, Alan Wake had me uncomfortably tense with enemies being able to sneak up on me and it’s arguably not even much of a horror game. Is this game playable for me?

I‘m gonna play Outpath when I have time solo and Peak with my gf. And I‘ll probably randomly boot up half a dozen other games if Outpath loses me.

I‘m gonna continue Salt & Sanctuary this weekend, which is basically 2D Dark Souls, like, heavily inspired by Dark Souls.

Other than that, I‘ve picked Outpath back up which is Minecraft graphics combined with Forager gameplay, I suppose? It‘s hard for me to describe.

Maybe I‘ll start Peak with my gf if she wants to. She‘s kinda scared cause she read it‘s hard, I have no clue, I‘m going in blind lol

With levelup‘s 0.8 out of 10.0 there seems to be a typo they probably wanna fix

I think it was Satisfactory, started and finished it this year and it‘s a big game. Any game outside of Steam I can‘t see the playtime so I wouldn‘t know.

The original was one of my personal top 3 stories, really captivated me. Problem is that I still remember the twists, and 95% of the game‘s charm is the plot to me so I won‘t get a remaster.

I envy anyone who gets to experience this for the first time with uptodate graphics though.

But I do hope they touch up those iceskate-y run animations, they look super awkward compared to the rest shown lol

I hope it‘s everything fans hope for, they‘ve had to wait for too long

Not OP. I certainly think it is slower, especially with the absence of 200cc, but I also don‘t make much use of grinding/walldriving so I‘m likely a lot slower than I could be. I just generally like MK8 more since a lot of the tracks really have that „this is a filler track between tracks“ feeling to them for me. YMMV.

It happened to me towards the end as well, but thankfully reloading my savefile got me back on track. Your comment made me aware that just cause everything looks bizarre it‘s not necessarily intended and saved me from suffering the same fate lol

I‘ve picked Manifold Garden back up and man… this game is so utterly unique, I recommend anyone give it a shot next sale. Even if you‘re not into puzzle games, just seeing what it does visually will give you a unique experience, I reckon.
