I’ve been playing a lot of Space Invaders lately

Gearing up for a swing at The Sinking City.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Ever since Balatro blew up, people have been joking about when we’re gonna see the mahjong roguelike next. Then four different ones went into development. Then Mahjong Soul surprised dropped a fifth one as a limited time event, and it might be the most promising of all of them. Then I broke the hell out of it.

Splatoon 3 - Team practice. Don’t have any cool clips to share rn, maybe next week.

I’ve technically completed out the season in Diablo 4: Season 5, but I’ve decided to see if I could go for a completionist run and get every objective. I’m thinking about remaking a couple of my other characters in different classes, since I finished so quickly, but that depends on how motivated I’m going to be once I’m satisfied with the state of my current Necromancer.

Still crawling around in Alien: Isolation. I’m kind of stuck in one section because the androids keep killing me, but I don’t have enough ammo or items to fight all of them. I’ve reverted to running around them and hoping they eventually give up following me, but since I don’t have a map and it’s been a while since the last time I played, I’m not sure where exactly to run to. I might have to give up and look up a walk through so I can get through this area.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance again. It’s just a great world to just ride around and do things in for a few hours. They unfortunately had to delay the sequel until the beginning of next year, so I’ve got to wait a little longer before I can do the same in the new one!

I’m taking a break from Elden Ring and other soulslikes to play Anno 1404 in all aspects for the first time. Previously, I only played enough of it to build up armys and armadas to wipe out the other players.

Now I want to build large warships, have nobles, build the emperors dome and the sultan mosque, buy council seats, sabotage other cities and challenge or at least survive the really difficult AI players (two star and three star).

Yes, it’s not 1800. I don’t like 1800.

The new World of Warcraft expansion was launched, but only if you paid for the giga edition to get three days early access (which I did). It’s a WoW expansion alright.

The stuff you can do during the early access period is pretty limited, there’s no real way to get a gear advantage or something, just more time to level up characters I guess. I finished the campaign on my Monk (skipping all the quest text as usual, but watching the cutscenes this time) and just started a second character today.

It feels a bit underwhelming right now, because a few of my friends, who usually play WoW all year round, are still on holiday, along with the limited things to do. The first and second week in August should get a bit more interesting, since then the higher difficulty stuff launches.

I’m also 100% done with Melvor Idle and the first two DLC and will start on the new DLC, after some more housekeeping and grinding for items.

Deadlock, and really enjoying it!
