Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.

What have you been playing after pausing TotK?

Yeah, it's a big game, would need some dedication if you want to finish it anytime soon. That being said, you don't have to finish it anytime soon, just play at your own pace, and enjoy.

I have heard great things about Rise, if I end up playing significant amount of MH: World, will give Rise a try too.

Yeah unfortunately I really didn't have the time necessary to immerse myself in Zelda. Playing in small bursts was starting to feel annoying, so I just quit for a bit. Now that I have a little more time I'm picking it up again. I'm not complaining too much tho, the longer it lasts the better - although I may have to make a tough decision if I don't finish it before Pikmin comes out.

What have you been playing after pausing TotK?

I have been playing some Disgaea 1 on PC. It's a series I've always been curious about and tbh it required me a lot less attention than Zelda. So it was a good distraction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I can understand that. Good luck finishing it before Pikimin!

Disgaea is a fun series, but for some reason I couldn't get into it. Glad you are enjoying it.

If this anhedonia streak continues, I'll probably dick around for an hour or two on Guild Wars 2, drop an hour into Vermintide II, maybe load up an emulator and play a couple of SNES games, then ultimately end up listening to a podcast while I play spider solitaire.

I'm 75% of the way through Advance Wars 2 (from the Advance Wars Reboot-Camp remake). I normally get ~3 levels done per play session, but the last stage of Yellow Comet was more difficult than usual. I'm thinking these last stages are just harder than all the earlier stages.

I might try a hard-mode run, or maybe I start playing competitive (erm... casual-level competitive. I dunno about beating the grandmasters in this game but I kinda wanna see where people are).

Wolfenstein, Half Dead, & Ray Man!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Which ones? The first Wolfenstein and Half Dead? And what about Rayman? Playing them all on PC?

I went back and restarted Metroid Prime Remastered. Such an incredible game, and it's so much fun going through it a second time now that I'm more familiar with the game. I'm navigating much more confidently and creatively. Such a good title

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I need to take a break from Zelda and go back to Metroid Prime and find more stuff so I can get a better ending 😬

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Still playing EO3, but debating digging into something else too. Just not sure what I'm in the mood for. :)

Still ToTK. I started strong when it first came out, but haven't had as much time until recently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have TOTK to play, but I don't have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I'll play either.

Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.

More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

TOTK if I have the time. By far the best game I've played since BOTW.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am still playing Tears of the Kingdom when I have time to play and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll see if I can finish chapter 3 of Dragon Quest Builders 1 on the switch today.

Got a bit pissed and had to put the game down for a bit after chapter 2 because the boss trashed my town during the fight. I had to rebuild the town after, it doesn't feel right leaving my poor villagers in that state.

But yeah, still a very fun game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still mostly playing TOTK. I completed the main story earlier this week, and normally that would kind of trigger a switch in my brain to lose all interest in side quests, but somehow it's managed to keep me interested.

The direct reminded me that I have barely started Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle, so been playing that a bit too.

Then to wind down I've been getting closer and closer to completing the all the normal Picross puzzles in Picross S2
