So I've been playing this recently...

[GDB]

I can imagine. I miss Charge on GS. It hurts so much standing there so long.

I played a bit of the Mecha Break demo and mostly what I got was a desire to reinstall AC6. Not that it's bad, mind you, it can probably become quite decent (the first couple tutorial missions were a bit janky but mostly in minor ways), the similarities are just uncanny.

We've started playing the Pokemon TCG mobile app.

I can call a sniper to shoot straight through your phone the next time you start the app.

[Dark Squirrel]

I do need that phone to take pictures of my cats but I thank you for the sentiment.

It's addicting until you go the entire season without pulling that one EX you wanted.

[Ideofago]

Can't you just buy a deck with the ex and scan it in?

TCG Pocket actually has nothing to do with the real TCG.

[Deathhappens]

From what I heard, it's to the Pokemon TCG what Duel Links is to Yugioh.

Seeing as how I absolutely detest Duel Links (and Vrains having "speed duels" that worked exactly like DL hurt my brain), I don't recommend TCG Pocket either. Though at least in this case it's mostly just the lack of strategic depth and overall lucksackiness of the system rather than umpteen layers of atrocious monetization on top of that like DL had.

[Dark Squirrel]

In fairness, the second you start looking at TCG Pocket is the second you realise it's geared towards collecting rather than dueling.

[Ideofago]

Does the computer tcg still exist? I wonder if it would have kept my cards

[pinetree]

Yeah it's still going

I managed to easily(ish) complete a 32 Fear Underworld run on Hades 2, but for now 32 Fear Surface is kicking my teeth in. I'll change weapons and try a different approach, daggers just aren't doing it for me.

I stopped playing Megaman Battle Network 4 Red Sun after I got to Duo again in second play through. I did not get Wind Soul like I hoped but I got Search Soul, which is harder to use because of the chips needed for it.

I've started playing Megaman Battle Network 5 Team Colonel and I'm up to the second liberation mission. I have Team Protoman for the Gameboy Advance and Megaman Battle Network 5 Double Team DS for the Nintendo DS, so I've played both versions already. But the Double Team versions of the games themselves are so much better.

To start, I can switch in the Navis from one version of the game with their counterparts in the other to fight in liberation missions.
So for example, I could swap out Colonel for Protoman or vice-versa.
I can also have another Navi assist me during battles in liberation missions by being on the same panel. Then there's also the added voice acting too, which all together, makes Double Team DS just superior to the original games.
So I have no idea why they went the original games for the Legacy collection.
It's fine though, the games are fun and I want the trophies.

Wilds first TU just dropped and man, HR Zoh Sia hits like a dump truck. LS is woefully ill-equipped against his shenanigans (Foresight Slash doesn't move you enough to avoid his huge AOE attacks and Iai Slash in Wilds is borderline unusable given the huge input delay it has). Ended up triple-carting for the first time in Wilds, TWICE at that, until I bit the bullet and switched to LBG for half the battle. Fortunately I got enough mats to forge the longsword for my collection and I don't really like the armor's look, because farming this is gonna be rough.

I have finally finished Assassin's Creed Origins. Final time: 90 hours 30 minites according to Uplay.

[BnEl15]

Related, AC Shadows finished at 50h. Had a lot of fun with the stealth (arguably the best among the recent games imo, even if I do miss that social stealth they reintroduced in Mirage), and I enjoyed the Leonardo finger-pointing moment whenever figures I know like Nobu, Mitsuhide, and Hideyoshi showed up on the screen.

Some ending spoilers

Ending is kinda meh in my opinion, though. It's not bad, and the final missions for both Naoe and Yasuke were cool (I did Yasuke's last, and I preferred his finale way more than Naoe's, even if Naoe's did introduce more potentially important plot points. Chasing that Templar guy through the castle and fighting him in the rain was badass as heck) but when the credits started rolling, I was just like... "Wait, is... is that it? Seriously? There's gotta be more, right?". Felt like there's at least another 20-30% of story they could've squeezed in there that they probably cut for DLC. Most of the second act also felt like a slog, but at least it's nowhere as dragged out as Valhalla.

7.5/10, could be higher depending on what the DLCs bring to plot later.

Heeeeeeey there I go! Did it with an entirely different approach and the staff!

Now I only have three more Underworld runs to do to unlock one invocation, and then it's proper break time until the next update.

Just finished my second playthrough of Cyberpunk. 2.0 and Phantom Liberty did it a huuuuuge favour.

Turns out 1.0 was so unfinished and so rushed that when I checked, I found out I didn't even 100% the gigs or max level my previous character.

Maybe I'll go back and try to unfuck my first character at some point, put together a proper agile sneaky netrunning build, finish up all the stuff I never did, grab as many achieves as I can, and try to betray Songbird to see how that shakes out, but for now, ~80 hours in one character is enough for me. Great game, bittersweet (or just bitter) endings.

Yup yup, the 2.0 update (and to a lesser extent PL itself) fixed A LOT of issues I had with the game originally, and I didn't even hate it that much the first go around. In fact...
