Stardew Valley's 1.6 update finally hit Nintendo Switch so I've started a new farm with a friend and we've been playing that late at night this week so far. There's so much stuff over the past couple of updates, it's been pretty fun to uncover new things while we were still in Spring. We started on the Meadowlands Farm map which has been a nice change of pace from my usual desire to go with the basic farm. We haven't really touched animals yet, and neither of us has been remembering to love our Chickens everyday, but that should come now that Summer has just started and we ended up planting a few hundred crops on the first day.
Hilariously, we were unable to get low enough in the Mines (okay, it was me, I kept getting some horrible luck) during Spring so we started off Summer with no sprinklers. Luckily though, I only had to delve another 10 levels to start getting gold which a week into Summer, so we've now got half our fields covered in them which is so good for the energy bar and time.
I expect there to be a lot more Stardew fun in the coming weeks.
Going to also be jumping back into Medieval Dynasty which is getting a big update at the end of the month. It's been a nice, relaxing grind game and our town is about halfway done I'd say. I do wish the game had just a bit more depth to it, I feel as if we're going to get to a point where there's just no more point in continuing to play - lack of end game? TBD!
I started a Factorio run through last week due to the new expansion coming out and I need to jump back into it soon because I've just hit the expansion content. It was a bit jarring I will admit though because I finally encountered something in Factorio that I had no clue what to do with which made it confusing. I hadn't experienced that feeling in quite a long time!
Pokemon TCG Pocket will hopefully get some attention because I see our site staff having fun with it with all their Slack messages. The Warcraft 30th Anniversary stuff is going on in World of Warcraft which is something I want to jump back into; I was abandoned at the start of the expansion so I didn't get to do as much as I had hoped. On the flip side I had just met a cool new person and we've been knee-deep into the gaming train so I'm not really complaining hehe.
Ugh. I need more time in the day, my lack of sleep due to the late night gaming is definitely not good for me.
I hate this because I love this and I know there is a good chance we're going to see some very cool announcements. I've been a part of the Warcraft universe for 2 decades and these big announcements within the franchise always bring on the emotions and the desire to play the crack that is WoW.
There was also the internal 2.0 build for Warcraft III. I really wonder if they're going to fix that game.
Oh yeah we need so much more transparent plastic for everything electronics! It’s such a great look and you’re starting to see it creep back a little bit - like Microsoft’s few new Xbox controllers. We’ve seen 90s clothing make a return let’s get everything else too.
The Citra thing was interesting because Yuzu's developers were a part of both projects. Nintendo got quite lucky with that and so they were able to push them out of both categories.
I'm not worried about Analogue. No dumped bios stuff, and they are focused purely on old hardware that is out of patents. I'm assuming the 3DS still has several patents that aren't expired which may have helped here.
They should be safe. No proprietary code is being used with the circuitry and the intent is you need to own carts to actually use the product, so they are not promoting piracy. With that said, I know with the Analogue Pocket there are third-party cores that allow you to load dumped ROMs from the MicroSD card, but they're exactly that, third-party so this device is in the clear.
It is also an ancient system. If this "emulated" Switch, I could see them having an issue with it and finding a way to go after them. That's the beauty of old consoles though, their patents have all expired and they don't have complicated custom operating systems like the more modern hardware.
The first triple digit collectible card by mana cost.
This certainly will be easy to get down to an actual usable mana cost which makes it a very cool idea imo. Will it see play? It's a nice comeback card if you're playing from behind, but to waste a slot on assuming you're playing from behind? idk.
We will have daily articles that recap all the reveals! It'll be an easy way for us to steer conversation to just a few cards every day instead of the massive overload, and some people are likely going to not see the leaks out of caution to providing the daily recaps will be good.
Loving the sound effects on the pack openings for Great Dark Beyond.
I bought a few packs for fun to see what cool things I could get. First though, the golden pack that I purchased! Libram of Clarity ftw.
Mage Legendary Saruun is pretty hype though.
I am super digging this pack though that dropped three Paladin cards, all Libram related which is a favourite mechanic of mine. Divinity sooo good.

And yes, Civ Science victories FTW!

Whoops, thanks for catching that! Fixed =)

lul
This is live now.
Roger that. I found the issue and a fix is being deployed as I type. It should be live within the next few minutes.
When you say a "post" do you mean a thread or a reply to a thread?
Space Scavenger 2 looks like a lot of fun, thanks for bringing this up!
Gotta be careful! lol
That Tsunami art is siiiiiiiiiick. Also, that is the first spell that has received a signature card art treatment!
Also, Adapative Amalgam looks awesome.
9 more neutrals from the HS Discord server!
Good luck all!
