Great photo, as always.

Reinstalled Oblivion on PC and PS5 to prep for Switch 2 port. Beyond that a lot of these two:
Oops my bad. Since I missed last week (I think), I was playing FF14 again to test the Switch 2 port, playing more Big Walk with a friend, resumed the Avatar fighting game, and bought JAST USA's Steins;Gate to try it out again.
Currently playing Expedition 33 and Stardew Valley.
My reaction when playing the Anniversary Expansion for SRWY
I finished Live A Live, and that's about it really.
I finished Grim Dawn with all expansions using the new Berserker mastery.
Also created a 5 star waterpark in Waterpark Simulator.
Now I'm giving Nine Sols another chance after retiring earlier this year.
I have to admit the world, story and level design are excellent, but the parry-based combat system isn't my favorite.
I often get hit while being convinced I parried at the right moment.

I started playing Mistfall Hunter with 2 friends yesterday.
I've never played any "extraction" games and mostly was curious about this one because (i) it looks Soulslike, (ii) it had 3 player teams, and (iii) I wanted to try one to see what the genre was like.
As a team, we've spent a lot of time playing Souls / Elden Ring / Nightreign together (and EDF), but nothing really competitive, so I frankly expected us to get stomped a few times. That will probably still happen at some point, but for now we haven't lost a single time -- and I'm really confused by the decision-making processes of many players. We haven't started a single fight with any group, but we've had duos and once even a single person going out of their way to attack our team (and not even in situations that would be advantageous to them). What exactly do these people expect would happen? Do they realize that just not fighting is an option? It's all quite confusing.

Finished Hell is Us late last week and have since started Steamworld Heist 2.
It's pretty good as well.
The last 2 weeks I've been playing Zenless' anniversary update. The story continues to be really strong, which is great to see.
They've also added an extraction mode of all things.
If you'd ask me back in 1.0 what sort of gameplay loop would work well in this game and also be lore-accurate, not in a million years would my answer have been: "an extraction mode, duh". But here we are, and it works crazy well.
It's actually challenging and tense, but they added the souls-like corpse run mechanic too it and the combination is somehow just the right mix of being tense while also not being super punishing.
Other than that I've been going through Tunic and am absolutely loving it.
And starting tomorrow it's Genshin 7.0 time, baby. Crazy that we're now at the "final" nation. I'm so interested in seeing where things are going.

After finishing Tunic (grrat game btw) I'm spending my free time with 5 games, yeah you read it right, I decided to have no focus at all and just play whatever comes to my mind.
Fields of Mistria - almost done with the first in game year, such a refreshing take in the genre.
Squekross - I came back to it to tackle some more puzzles as I like nonograms.
Find Matt's Cat - I like finding things in hidden object games, but still in the initial levels but the demo was enjoyable.
Restory - Who could have guessed that fixing things were that fun? The game also makes me feel nostalgic for that time when many thing were fixable.
Sovereign Tower - I was waiting for this one to release and I'm enjoying it a lot. The knights are very diverse and each one of them have their own personality, and some things that happened caight off guard.
And that's it folks, maybe I can manage to finish Sovereign Tower in the next days if I ignore my sleep schedule and work lol

Returned to Octopath Traveler 1 and Harvestella. Just doing side quests and chilling in the world. Music so good.
Still putzing around in Outer Worlds 2 and doing a little Phantom Fury on the side.
Still going with Coral island and Mina the Hollower.
Coral Island
I have managed to get most all spring fish and sea critters. There is just the spider left that only comes out when there is rain/storm, but there had only been a single rainy day so far. Ah well, maybe next year.
I also increased my herd and am now the proud owner of 2 Llamas and a Luwak. I really like the last one jumping about and making noises (with the added bonus of "generating"* coffee beans, how perfect can an animal get). So, I will probably get another one at some point. I also expanded my house and can get a spouse, but at this point I am still debating between like 5 characters, so I'll keep postponing that a bit for now.
Mina the Hollower
The fishing rod has been my bane for the last few times I played this, just kept fishing everywhere to try and catch new species (the blue lobster thingy killed me like 10 times before I got it's trophy too. It hits very hard!) .
Finally got the nerve to press on and beat the moon (one tiny mistake made me not use only charged hammer attacks, so that feat will have to wait until the next boss).
* in real life, a Luwak does not "generate", but rather "recycles" coffee beans (through it's digestive system, so I guess collecting is not the nicest job), which is said to impart a special flavour (and drive up the price by quite a bit)

I'm alternating between 3 MMORPGS (Everquest Legends, Project Gorgon, and Equinox: Homecoming), 3 extraction games (Mistfall Hunter, Arc Raiders and Marathon), 2 MOBAs (Deadlock and Smite 2), and Marvel Tokon.
I finally managed to finished Sovereign Tower and the last "boss" was a nice surprise. I got a kinda positive ending but I wasn't able to unify all the kingdoms under my banner so I might play it again im NG+ as some things can only be done this way.
Goberto and Gwendan were my MVP knights through the game.

Prob her best OST before Radiant Historia imo.
Any rec for which expansion to get? I only own the base game.
Im so pissed they never did a CD release of harvestella's soundtrack and region locked the digital version.
Really good game. I should get back to it. Really was a Nioh 1-> 2 level jump in quality imo.
