It’s December! Which means vacations and deadlines. Which mean unreliable schedule to post weekly threads. So, bear with me this month, I’ll try to post them on time, but if I don’t, don’t worry, we should get back to normal weekly posts from January.

And since this post is so late, going to make it a post for this week and the next. Now, games!

Playing Fortnite, my kid regularly plays it, but when I saw the Lego Fortnite trailer I got intrigued, gave it a try and loving it. Also playing Rocket Racing mode. Haven’t gotten a chance to try the third one, Festival I guess it’s called.

All other games are on pause due to lack of free time, except for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, the smaller size of Vita makes it much easier to lug around, so getting some hours in the game when I don’t have anything else to do.

That’s all from my end, what about all of you? What have you been playing? Or meaning to play over the holidays?

    Animal Crossing New Horizons. Received this two Christmas ago and enjoy playing now and then.

    But on man do I wish I had a dodo code to an island where I could get cherry and pears.

    I have apples, oranges, peaches, coconuts yet can’t get the others.

    Vegetables I have tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, wheat, and sugar cain.

    It’s ridiculous that you can’t use miles and get to an island that has the other stuff.

      If you have Discord they have a very active community, or well it used to be active, haven’t checked in a while.

      If you don’t have Discord, let me know, I can return to the island and send you my code. I haven’t really played in a while, so place will be a mess, but at least I can give you the fruits.

              You can basically just get them from trees, right? It has been quite a while, I have forgotten how that used to work 😀

                  A new code is generated each time. I have closed the gates now. Next time I open them, the code will be different.

                  And I meant that visitors can take them from trees, right? I know visitors can use shops and pick up stuff from ground, but didn’t know if they can get from trees too or not.

    I was sick over the past week and got Dave the Diver to have something not to demanding to play as I am done with Pokemon, super fun I highly recommend it.

    I also got back into Animal Crossing.

      Inscription is fun but there’s multiple levels lol i thought it was short too but lost interest before finishing it on the third act i think

        I’ve only gotten to the second act so far, but it’s new enough for me to still have interest! I saw on howlongtobeat that it should take around 12 hours, so I hope that me being ready for that will make me last until the end.

          I think it took me awhile to figure out the first act, so I think I spent more than 12 with it

          Really loved the atmosphere of that act though! Probably why I spent so long on it.

            Haha, when I first read your comment I thought you were referring to the first map, before you beat the Prospector, and I was confused how you spent more than 12 hours there 😆 But now I’ve actually gotten to the second act and I totally get what you mean! I don’t like the atmosphere nearly as much there, but I hope I’ll have the enthusiasm to finish the game anyway

    Bravery and Greed was on sale for $10 so I took a chance on it. It looked like it would scratch the rogue like itch for me and I have not been disappointed.

    Multiplayer side scrolling rogue like. Four classes. Four different character paths for each picked from three random perks found at shrines. Four gear slots counting the wand with fun unique abilities (boots of flying for example).

    Also playing Mario Wonder with my son. I expect both games will be on rotation all winter and spring.

    The Deponia collection was a steal. Seems very Monkey Island-y. I liked the monkey island series so hopefully I’ll like this. I’ll be playing Deponia.

    I tried little big factory before but I called it quits after realising it’s not for me. Also bought Move Out on sale but just seems too repetitive, maybe it’s more of a multiplayer game than single player…

      I played Deponia series quite a while ago, the humour isn’t to everyone’s taste but I liked it, but it had the same issues that most adventure games have, very convoluted puzzles. So, I gave up and didn’t play them anymore.

      You mean Little Big Workshop?

      And yeah, games like Move Out are fun playing with others.

        I think it’s really nice so far but I am not that far into. From what I’ve seen it’s actually really. I am more excited because we will be able to get all the past starters and a lot of older legendaries

    Still playing Honk Train (Honkai Star Rail) and Palia. As a bonus, the latter just came out on the Switch and has cross save. So I’m going to be setting that up in a minute.

      I started Palia on handheld, and don’t know why but it felt a bit off. Will probably give it another try.

        It’s definitely leggy there. I think it’s still technically in beta? It runs a lot better on PC. Big surprise, I know.

    Made me look at the calendar, I thought I had been in a coma for a few days!

    … It is Wednesday, right?

    I’m out of town and didn’t think a lot about which game to bring, so I just started a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet with only flying type Pokémon. I didn’t even like the first playthrough that much, but I had wanted to do a monotype run of any game one day, and this one was right here, so here I am. It’s ok I guess.

    Last weekend I wrapped up Super Mario Bros. Wonder with 100% completion and so I’ve returned to Starfield. Level 21 and counting, currently playing through the Crimson Fleet questline.

    I wish I could fly my ship wherever I wanted…

      I don’t think anyone has ever mentioned Starfield in this thread, and yet we have three mentions of it this week. What happened?

        It’s been a packed second half of the year for major releases. I imagine that people held off on beginning Starfield until they wrapped up a few other things on their plate, since it’s such an investment in time. As for me, I have over two weeks off work starting today, so there will be a lot of quality time with this game in my future.

        Level 25 now!
