Just the 7 needed; while I generally had pleasant teammates in the ranked matches I don’t enjoy solo games a much as playing with a friend. I’m going to try to keep up with the ranked games each week, but I don’t see myself playing much more than the minimum needed for that.

Oracle IV, goat gang. Was worried because I got bodied in my first two of the ranked matches but afterwards they seemed to be a lot more even, win or loss.

WarioWare is very easy to binge :b

I have hung up the cape on Helldivers 2 for now, each patch makes the game more and more unstable. It’s to the point where I rarely make it two missions without crashing, losing progress each time has pretty sucked all the fun out of the game.

The timing is good, though, I snagged a spot in the Once Human beta test and have been really enjoying it. Surprisingly fun with interesting building, crafting, and exploration mechanics. Definitely a time sink though ^^;

Definitely just playing around, I’m not any good at coming up with interesting hooks or ideas. But it’s a hobby I’ve wanted to delve into and finally decided to make some simple projects. It has been fun learning how things tie together!

I have been playing around with a project using the game engine Godot. Real simple stuff but it has been fun to learn!

The engine and editor super lightweight and I am able to sync my project between two devices using Dropbox. I have pretty limited free time currently so being able to work on it wherever if I have a bit of time has helped keep my motivation for the project, even if progress has been slow ^^

I am going to buy those and try them :U Thank you for the link! That seems like a cool project by that candy store, too, what a neat idea!

Handy storage spot :b

I hadn’t heard of Barkleys before, but it has been ages since I’ve had some nice mints so I am going to see if I can find some of those 😂

Also, seeing that tin made me miss the tangerine Altoids Sours.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I’ve played for several weeks 😅 Game is fun :b

I cannot imagine pre-ordering a controller… but that does look pretty cool!

Barony! It just had a big update release yesterday, part of which was a UI overhaul that made it much more playable with a controller. Runs flawlessly on the Deck with compatability set to Proton mode; prior to the update I had issues running the default native Linux version (text and textures were garbled) but have not tried on the new patch.

It is a roguelike that feels more like actual Rogue or Nethack than anything I have played in a while and has great co-op support. I was having lots of fun learning the game before the update and am excited to spend more time with it, if the voxel-y graphics are not a turn off I definitely recommend it! Works well for shorter play sessions.

That looks so cool! I’m digging the keyboard-matched track pads, too.

I was proud of myself for getting just the JSAUX backplate on last week, no way I’d be brave enough to do the front/full enclosure, but it looks really slick and I’m glad to hear the process (especially the screen) was not as bad as anticipated. Thanks for sharing!
