Still playing Path Exile 2, it now shows over twice the play-time of the second most played I have on Steam. I've gone more into endgame activities lately, and finally found some ways to make actual progress, but it's really slow going. I play in the "Standard" league, the "Fate of the Vaal" league was ruined by exploits that crashed the economy (a new mechanic allowed certain players to gain thousands and thousands of the most valuable currency, in a matter of days, I've never had more than around 200 of it at most).

PoE 2 has managed what Diablo 2 did for me back in the day - create a gameplay loop so addictive that you keep coming back for more. 

I also purchased a new monitor in January, a 45" Ultrawide display with 240hz cap, it created a mini-revolution in the way I approach and enjoy gaming. The only downside is that it takes some tinkering to use Youtube and other things properly (doesn't scale right with most extension, and YT doesn't offer native 21:9 support).

Final Fantasy VII Remake

First of all I wasn't a big fan of the OG FFVII, the bombing mission was always a 10 for me but it went downhill..

Similar vibe for me with this remake, I love the first chapters but it went a bit downhill for me, the sidequests are mostly a miss for and feel not necessary..

The combat feels good, feels a bit like KH but I don't mind it is fast and fights can go fast I really enjoy it.

The game length was a bit of a letdown I expected more but can't call it a negative thing.

Overally I enjoyed my time most of the time and it is way better than FFXVI.

A solid 8.5/10






Just beat Banjo, I still think the Fun Furnace is one of the coolest parts I've played in a game. Super fun and different.

Purchased Stellar Blade via Steam, 40% off. Haven't played it yet, but it is next yep. I played for maybe 10 minutes, seems to run well, was getting a locked 120 fps.

Your in for a treat with Stellar Blade. Don't mod it on your first run with outfits, I know it sounds silly but outfits as unlockables are surprisingly satisfying as a game mechanic and the base game unlocks are many and well paced. 



Uncharted 3 on PS3
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on Gamecube Emulator 7/10

I need to adjust to the battle system.  it isn't bayonetta but not souls either, feels in between.  So far I like it.  but only played a bit.  i am hoping to get a few hours in this weekend.

It's got a lot of Sekiro in it but much lighter on difficulty, Kinda DMC meets Sekiro with a sprinkling of it's own style. 



SNB is lovey but not DMC or Souls or anything in between. Just good old fashioned parry combat. MGR had it. Some PS2 games have it. Stellar Blade is more of a not to PS2 games in a lot of ways. It's great.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Reanimal is out. If Nioh wasn’t one of those games where once I stop I forget how to play it I’d take a break and play Reanimal. Tarsier never miss.
