What game are you playing? Thread

an old game named mega man x command mission

I can't get enough of Holdfast lately. The amount of stupid shenanigans you can do seems endless. Even playing as an instrument player can guarantee atleast a few good laughs during a round. I got into the top 5 for my team just playing the drums and dodging cannon balls.

Got my Shadow remote PC thing activated the other day. Seems like it might be a pretty good alternative until I get to building a game-capable PC~

I've recently picked up League again, it's like an addiction you can never beat. Other than that Final Fantasy XIV, Path of Exile, and soon Cyberpunk.

It's crazy to me how many people grew up playing PS2 games that nobody except them has ever heard of. My friend and I are playing a game his girlfriend played as a kid called "Portal Runner" and I think I wanna claw my eyeballs out.

I think I read that either the PS2 or the NES had the largest game libraries of any console. This was a while back, so don't quote me on that. But it would make sense, given how CDs are a lot cheaper to produce than cartridges.

I was one 'a the weird kids who got an Xbox, so I missed out on the greats like Crash Bandicoot and Sly. Thank god we got emulation, eh? Heheh, I might actually go play those, now that I mention it...

Probably a good idea to give CDPR some time to fix the game lol

Been playing Tf2 recently. I'm not very good, but just having fun running around and those occasional bursts of doing a good job are something that keeps me around.

Always love hearing about ppl getting into TF2. It's still a great game 13 years after release.

Yeah, it's nuts the things people can do, and with how distinct each character is, it really does shine.

Ahh~, I really hope the electronics guys get my gaming PC back to me soon! I was playing a settlement in RimWorld with pawns based [mostly] off my friends from here. Actually, I've tried so many times to find a good blend of mods, I've even constructed a rich backstory that hosts my other projects. I'll share more details later! ^~^

Highlights have included Lucian saving the colony by charging an Imperial soldier with his family's broadsword, in the middle of a gunfight, to pierce his power armor. As well as us using the spare room in the research labs to brew a ridiculous amount of beer. Oughta give it a name, hehe...

Till then, though~, I've been playing Factorio. I reckon it's a great game, aye, and the mods make it even better. I got about halfway through my last playthrough [unlocking lasers and Mil/Chem science packs] before I got tempted by Bob's Mods and Angel's mods, as well as a slew of QoL upgrades like a To-Do List and a throughput graph. It makes me feel like I'm running an actual, automated factory, which as it turns out, is quickly coming to reality as well. ^_^

Got back into the Fire Emblem games recently. The 3DS games were some of my most played games on the system, but now I'm playing the GBA games. So far I've gotten through Lyn's tale and partly through Eliwood's. Can't wait for my GBA flashcart to get in so I can play these on real hardware!
The world of romhacks for this series is great too. So much variety from simple rebalances, to custom maps, to complete overhauls with new stories and everything. Shit like this is just stupid and I love it.

Ah, I don't know much about Fire Emblem, but I did used to have a GBA~ A clear one! Though I sold it many years ago, since my DS Lite could play GBA games as well. Can the 3DS do so?

Yep! Though you have to hack it first, as Nintendo never even sold GBA Virtual Console games, only gave a handful away to people that overpaid for the 3DS at launch. If you have a hacked 3DS, you can either make your own VC GBA games using injector programs or there is a homebrew firmware that boots the 3DS directly into it's GBA mode and let's you choose a rom to boot from.

However if you are a perfectionist, the 3DS is horrible for GBA. The top screen on those basically have rectangular pixels due to how the 3D display works. They also got rid of the option from the DS that changes which screen GBA games are displayed on.

Ah, I see~ Kinda reminds me of the PS Vita with how it can play PSP games. Though I suppose it's a bit different ^_^

Does the homebrew firmware not let you switch displays?

I'm not too sure. I've always just made VC injections because I prefer launching everything from the 3DS home menu. The firmware is called open_agb_firm if you want to take a look.

Funny you bring up the Vita. I was using mine with mGBA up until I got my GBA flashcart. It has some audio stutters, but the screen is almost perfect for x2 scaling and of course the dpad is to die for.

A friend asked me to play EVE Online with him so I'm slowly getting back into it. That game is crazy addictive once you get past the initial complexity barrier (which is a pretty big hurdle, admittedly).
