    Decided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven’t played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you’re an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.

      I haven’t played CS2 yet, but since it’s an update/expansion/molting of CSGO, you’re going to have a rough time with the community until you’re out of “silver hell”. Once you rank up enough that you’ve gotten away from the spamming kiddies and smurfs, it’s a better time. At least until you reach ultra high rank where people start taking the game too seriously, but floating between Gold Nova and Master Guardian 1 ranks is the most fun place to be.

    Finally playing through Jedi: Survivor. I’m loving it so far. It’s like dark souls but with a better story.

      How do you like it compared to the first? Loved fallen order but holding off on Survivor until there’s a good sale.

        I’m loving it. It’s honestly just better in every way than the first. I know a lot of people had performance issues when the game first came out, but I’m about halfway through it right now and haven’t had a single problem. So I personally would highly recommend.

    Advance Wars By Web

    Advance Wars is an old turn based strategy game, for the GBA (Game Boy Advance), and AWBW is a fan site to play AW online.

    I’ve gotten pretty into it ever since Advance Wars Reboot was announced, and being able to play it in the web browser means I frequently find time to play…

     

    Ironically I don’t play the actual AW Remake because in classic nintendo style the multiplayer is extremely lacking, only being able to play with players added to friends list, not being able to upload/download maps except to friends, and extremely limited map sizes for online maps

    Space Station 14.

    Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don’t forget your oxygen mask. …and helmet. …and to make sure the oxygen’s on. …and that you have grav boots. …and that they’re on.

    Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you’re lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.

    But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it’s a good day and people are tipping well. I’ve been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.

    …but, then there’s sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch 'em slip. It’s a good tune to be alive.

    Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do… …Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples’ drinks), or at least evacuate the people. …and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.

    Or be a hamster. Or, y’know… Anything you want to.

    I realized that after my long strategy gaming atrophy, I wasn’t ready to just jump into XCOM2 with War Of The Chosen content.

    I decided to take it slow by playing the first Firaxis XCOM, with no DLC. Just plain vanilla.

    It’s been a good priming for more complex strategy. Vanilla XCOM is friendly (perhaps too friendly) to stacking overwatch, with missions rarely being time sensitive, and the time sensitive one’s being very generous.

    I still lost a few rookies early on, but I’m very close to beating the game. I already have a suitable psionic soldier, I just had to turn off the game on Sunday before I could build the special psionic armor.

    I’ve got a squad of colonels with the stronger perks, best weapons and gear, and I’m ready to assault the alien HQ.

    I’ll probably replay with Enemy Within DLC, and then move to XCOM 2.

    I’m still playing Lies of P. 26 hours into the first playthrough Not sure if I will finish it though. I felt more frustrated towards LoP than when I played FromSoft’s games.

    I hate that it uses multi-phase bosses so much, yet these phases tend to have nothing related to the earlier phase.

        After a long while, I felt more adjusted to their delayed attack and parry windows. However, I stopped playing for a week and now, I feel like I have to readjust the timing again lol.
