Rocket League, Diablo 4, and Minecraft are all games I’ve played cross play and have never felt compelled to spend a dime after the initial purchase.

I love my modded Vita. It’s a perfect little handheld emulation machine.

I’m doing a Druid and not looking at build guides, just doing what seems fun. I use Storm Strike and the Werewolf core ability with various synergies that cause them to build off of each other. I’m only around level 25 but it’s a lot of fun so far.

Reddit is Fun for around 10 years, Bacon Reader for around 2 years before that. I have quit Reddit since last week and don’t intend to ever go again outside of the random Google search result.

Tears of the Kingdom Diablo IV Dark Souls 3 Final Fantasy XVI demo

FF12 is my favorite Final Fantasy after 6.

Pausing during cut scenes is huge.

I finished the demo this morning and pre-order the game. It’s light, fun, easy combat similar to Nier Automata or Kingdom Hearts mixed with a good story and voice acting and beautiful visuals. It is definitely very different than previous Final Fantasy games, though.

Also, FightingCowboy on YouTube has great build videos. And in is through walkthrough of DS3, he does a Quality build.

In every Souls game, a quality build is a great first playthrough build. With Quality, you prioritize STR and DEX more or less equally until you find a weapon that suits you and then stop leveling up the stat you don’t need. Other points can go to health and stamina.

Alternatively, the Sellsword class starts with one of the best weapons in the game, the Sellsword Twinblades. They particularly pair well with a DEX build.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide between making a new character or finishing the level 50ish wizard play through I never finished.

As is the tradition.

Enh, just switch between them. I usually play only 2 at a time, sometimes just 1.

Same, actually.

Red Dead Redemption was the last game I beat, about 3 weeks ago. Currently playing Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom, and Marvel Snap.

Does that include your saved posts? That’s what I’m worried about losing the most.

I don’t like it but I put up with it and it doesn’t really bother me all that much. When I had a newborn, I pretty much couldn’t play games for a few weeks or more. After that, I played a lot of pauseable games (KOTOR and Mass Effect specifically come to mind, though it’s been over a decade now so I’m sure I’m forgetting something). As a Souls player, I’m used to not being able to pause in games but I appreciate games like that that at least autosave and let you quit out at any time, the next best thing to pausing.

I 100% agree with your colleague, though I don’t agree with his purity test. You’re allowed to feel the way you do about medicine and still use whatever products you want. But, yeah, I don’t own or use and Apple products, though I would like to own and restore an Apple IIe.

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy 6 (the opera aria was played at my wedding)

Castlevania 3, specifically the six channel Famicom version

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I’m old, if you couldn’t tell

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.
