Hey everyone. Hope you all had a good week and relaxing weekend. I actually didn’t game much this weekend as I was preparing to move apartments and also went on a weekend trip with friends, but I did squeeze in some Xcom 2 today. Hope everyone has a productive week.
I won the crab game.
Mostly Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate lately. I got Pretendo set up so I can do online lobbies at some point but I’m not sure when that will actually happen. I also started Metroid Prime a week ago but haven’t played it since… I keep thinking about it but then losing motivation.
TIL what Pretendo is. Nice.
My kids talked me in to playing minecrap. I’m 46 and I’ve never played it once before this weekend. Im mining, then I’m crafting.
Also playing the usual, GTA:SA multiplayer. I’ve been playing it since it released in 2006 or 2007 i think. And i suck at it still.
Im not a g#mer, let alone a G*mer. Ever see people who cannot pass training levels/skill building levels? Where every single jump is a trial by fire for the person holding the controller?
That’s me. I grew up w a single button and an 8way joystick. Then i got a Nintendo, which has two buttons. Thats 100% more buttons. I never got past this level of skill. I bought both Zelda TOTK and BOTW because of how cool they looked and how much fun i might have. And Im so bad at those games. I can’t remember moves to save my life. Im all thumbs, or all left feet or something. So i just fuck around in SAMP.
thanks for coming to Boomer Talk.

This is what I do when I play a fighting game.
I just don’t have the skill to pull off those timings. Makes immensely frustrated
I’ve been meaning to play some old Japanese games to test my language learning, so I booted up a PC Engine dungeon crawler called Brandish and ended up fistfighting dinosaurs that look suspiciously like a sitting US president
It’s been pretty fun so far and I enjoyed some of the ridiculous mechanics that screw you over, like how there is an “HP poison” item that looks completely identical to “HP potion” in your inventory and if you try to stack it onto your normal potions it ruins them lol
Started Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and I’m enjoying it
Finished main storyline missions on No Man’s Sky. I was heading back from second galaxy to my main base, flew to a space station and while I was doing stuff, a squiddy boy landed, I did a quick search on the rarity and bought it off the pilot. Turns out, it’s the most rare regular exotic in game and some people have been playing for thousands of hours and haven’t seen one. I clocked 40 hours at the point that I saw it. Lucky as fuck. It’s ugly and I probably will only use it to show off on the Anomaly but it’s really cool that I snagged one.
Blue prince continues to consume me, I am working on what I think is the final big puzzles which require quite a bit of learning the lore of the world to solve which I’m really enjoying.
been getting back into rhythm games for a while now. this week’s been mostly noisz st∆rlivht and sound voltex. also played a bit of vivid/stasis
Oblivion is as good as it was when I was in high school.
unsure if good or bad thing.
Terra Invicta
By the same people who did the Long War XCOM overhaul mod. Anybody into 4x sci-fi solar system simulation/management should check it out. Still in EA but has come a long way from release.
Playing Pokemon Silver because it dawned on me that I never ran Sudowoodo for more than one gym, despite it being a major player for a large chunk of your quest. Also tired af after a long work week and plenty of exercise.
Currently seeing if I can make Ledyba work, but even Sunkern has been more reliable on story modes. Why is Ledian’s evolution so far away? It’s not like it evolves into a good Poke? Great visual design, so I soldier on.
Give more Mario party like games. I think most of my game related posts are rts related. But all I desire is a smash ultimate/mario kart 8 deluxe Mario party game. Give me 20 boards with 200+ minigames
i just got off work and made dinner but then I played a game of Super Mega Baseball 3 and listened to “Type 56: The Story of China’s Army” youtube channel
I’m almost through Chrono Trigger for the first time in 25ish years.
Marvel Rivals - Started playing with some of my wow guild mates, v fun. I don’t get super into hero shooters but it’s a fun thing to do with friends.
Dredge - Finally got around to pirating it, nice game to play while my spouse and I listen to a podcast
Baldur’s Gate 3 - Slow progress, don’t have that much time I can really sit down with headphones on and focus on something but it’s so good.
