Not sure where I thought I would find the time to play Bug Fables or (something else) and review it, when Steam's Next Fest happened and I'm still working to get ready for Shadow of the Erdtree lol. Lots I want to do, so little time to see it through.
Steam coming in clutch so I don't need an Xbox for this one lol. Xbox has never had any games that appealed to me...that I couldn't buy on the PS5 or via Steam.
I am intrigued, because I like turn-based, Final Fantasy-style games, and it's visually great. Can't help but notice there's no Steam/PC logo at the end, though.
One day there will come a time where Xbox actually has something I want and cannot get lol
I'll be honest in-that I didn't watch the trailer, but the only Warcraft question I care about at this point is: will Jaina ever get a happy ending? The main characters seem to live the most sorrow-filled lives and can never catch a break lol
It seems "Awakened Realms", the publisher of the Tainted Grail board game, have a particular mold and plan to stick to it: games that are 1-4 players only, expensive, well-made, and well-written. The latter half of that description is great; the former...not so much 🧐
I looked into their other games, namely the "ISS Vanguard" spaceship cooperative campaign, and whatever else appeared on Amazon: all the best looking ones tap out at 4 players. Not to mention ISS Vanguard is $160 on Amazon! I can't justify that, even with my family's liberal board game purchases in the past.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a great game; one of my favorite Marvel games period. If you can just get over the fact that the heroes use cards to activate abilities, you'll find a cool, tactical experience. It didn't bother me at all, but I know some complained about that in the past.
With TTYD in the rearview, more or less, I've realized I need to flex my Elden Ring muscles again in time for Shadow of the Erdtree. I am very rusty, and that'll be no-bueno heading into a new environment that's expected to be even more of a challenge from the outset! Need to decide soon how I want to proceed:
Start over and get ready that way: probably means I won't be "on time" for Shadow of the Erdtree, but it could provide some buffer time for patches and general information to spread around the interwebs.
Just be more thorough on my current playthrough, collecting stuff I'll presumably want for the DLC.
Not much to contribute on my end, but I did read something lately so I guess that counts: "The Worlds of Borderlands", an encyclopedia-esque book about the Borderlands video game series. I guess I would classify it as "nonfiction for a fictional world", but it's got humorous descriptions on brand with the series at large and that's a plus for me. I hope to use the information with my Bunkers & Badasses rulebook to make more authentic tabletop adventures set in that universe!
I don't doubt it in the slightest: the DLC is supposed to be the size of Limgrave - the large starting zone - but packed with even more stuff. Over 100 new weapons, too, plus other gear and whatnot!
Very cool to have these features back, thanks to everybody involved!
It's time to write a few guides again. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the database code to display signature cards? I've tried [Hearthstone Card (signaturecardimg) Not Found] and [Hearthstone Card (sigcardimg) Not Found] without any luck.
cardimg sig]C'Thun[/cardimg , with the closing of the brackets should work. That'll create this:
With the database still being updated, I can't guarantee literally every signature card variant is available at this time, but they should be eventually!
That's impressive, and a bit hilarious. I'm currently diving into Elden Ring and getting my butt kicked, but loving every moment of it. Also revisiting Skyrim for the umpteenth time—there's just something about wandering through Tamriel that never gets old. Anyone else juggling multiple games at once?
Elden Ring is great, isn't it? You jumped on the bandwagon just in time, with the expansion coming in 20 days :D
I feel like I've been juggling a thousand games at once, even if I'm intending to mainline Paper Mario TTYD for now lol. Keep buying games I intend to play but don't follow through on; saving up for the dry season, I guess.
After reviewing the demo for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon for the latest Steam Fest, I went to YouTube to see what some of my preferred content creators had to say about it. That's when I learned that it was a board game first; you don't often see that! Most "ports" are from video game to board game, like Skyrim, Fallout, etc., and not the other way around, except for stuff like "you can now play Wingspan on your phone!" which is not what I mean by that.
Of course, not only is it just for up to 4 players, the developers have no intention of increasing that player-count to 5 😒
I find I have a bunch more time to do what I want, now that I'm not beholden to continue the grind. There are days where I'm not sure how exactly I want to *fill* that time, which is normally where Snap or HS could squeeze in, but I've also held up my end and stayed away. Don't even have Battle.net on my computer anymore.
In the mean time, I played a bunch of demos during Steam's Endless Replayability Fest last week, bought two Early Access games for $22 total to support the creators, and bought Hades II for $30. I finished what I could of that, more or less, and it's already an amazing experience. In a couple days I'll pick up the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake, and all of it will have cost me less than Snap and HS!
Never Mourn, an action roguelike where you play a necromancer, with twin hotbars for damage/crowd control and healing/resurrecting minions.
Shogun Showdown, a turn-based roguelike where you have to time your actions with the enemy to kill them while minimizing damage to yourself.
They were the most fun, for me anyway, and while they are both Early Access I feel supporting them for $12 and $10 respectively is totally worth it.
About two weeks ago I complained above that I've done nothing gaming-wise, but since then a shit-ton of stuff has happened lol. It has solidified my decision to leave behind Marvel Snap and Hearthstone, because I would not have done nearly as much exploring demos or playing other games if I had to keep going back to them with my time and money.
...and we're only half-way through the month: I still see Paper Mario TTYD on the horizon, next Thursday!
If it helps, I purchased Never Mourn and Shogun Showdown today 😀 $24 total ($12 for NM, $10 for SS, plus tax) for two games with high potential, that I already found to be really fun, seems worth it to me! I'll aid them in their endeavors to deliver me a great product, whilst supporting small business at the same time hehe

Dashing into enemies via a shield-slam before blasting them with a faceful of shotgun? That's like two of my favorite things! I am all about this lol
I don't care about another Civilization! I wanted Borderlands! Boo!
Kinda crushing, to be honest. Civilization always feels like more of the same, to me: I own 4 and 5, so do I really need 6, let alone Civ 7? No.

As I can now demonstrate, the editor is back online! More or less. Spellcheck too.
If you want to use code like "card" and "deck" and whatnot, they're found on the far right, under the "Database" drop-down menu!
I...might still only be like halfway done with the game on PS5 lol :/ I don't know how you can get bored at a God of War game, but I was.
Ooh, that's cool! Didn't make it into the Alpha test, but maybe I'll take another stab at getting into the Beta haha
You stuck to your guns, and that's respectable :)
