I've been playing too much Ball X Pit.

This problem addresses itself as you get more characters and start to plan around how to bounce around the town effectively. Pretty cool.

Ryukiroku @ryukiroku.bsky.social · 5d

To explain that a bit further, in between rounds, you have a town building sim minigame that acts as the main progression for stats, new characters, mechanics ect. The issue is that you can only harvest/build once in between rounds. Each round takes somewhere between 8 to 10 mins.

I think my only gripe is that the harvesting building mechanic makes progression feel very slow. Like if you miss getting a new character building finished, you're left without that new character. It would be nice to relax just those buildings at least.

Okay, Ball X Pit is pretty dope.

I think I have a guilty pleasure in playing Fortnite.

Wife's been in surgery this afternoon but modern technology has given us a Domino's Pizza tracker for progress.

I saw this post I quoted last night in the discovery feed. I honestly wish I knew about it sooner. I'd been looking into more automation games the past couple months and somehow this flew under the radar for me.

This game literally came out of nowhere for me. I was playing the demo this morning for the first time and it feels like a child between Stardew Valley and Satisfactory. I can't wait to play more and see how deep it gets further in.

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

Felt like Prime Gaming was a more recognized name than Luna but 🤷

Wario64 @wario64.bsky.social · 19d

Amazon is retiring the Prime Gaming brand for Amazon Luna - still offering Prime benefits like free monthly PC games and Twitch monthly free sub with Prime.

Looks like same benefits but different brand name

Everything is just getting worse all of the time.

Ryukiroku @ryukiroku.bsky.social · 19d

Ya know Silksong is still only $20 and Hades 2 is $30. No reason why I'd bring that up of course.

I think I'm finished up with Hades 2 for now. There's just the epilogue left which I imagine if it's like the first game it'll take a bit of grinding. I'm sure I'll get to it at some point but need to get back to Silksong first. Too many brilliant games.

Hades 2 is pretty fucking awesome. They got me interested in using my specials and casts more. The combat just feels so good. The acting and soundtrack is just phenomenal.

Ryukiroku @ryukiroku.bsky.social · 26d

I beat Hades again for anticipation for the full release for Hades 2. I didn't want to touch early access so I know next to nothing and I'm super excited.

Ryukiroku @ryukiroku.bsky.social · 24d

I only use my windows machine for Steam and NOTHING else now.
