Silent Hill 2.1 doesn’t suck. Not great, but it doesn’t suck. It’s fine. It’s probably even better than okay. That’s more than I expected going in.

@dvoraen I’m really looking forward to this one.

I finished Final Fantasy XVI last night (without DLC) after waiting for the PC port to drop. I have feelings.

for @Babs because I am always and actively procrastinating on my librarian –

I have started playing Syberia.

@GF I think it is great, actually. Really only have 2 complaints: a couple of locations had about 1 too many explorable areas/wings to complete puzzles. Just a BIT too long. The other is that getting the icon to actually grab the interactables is finicky as fuck, and it can be real annoying.

I might have preferred the way some things were performed in the original - but only a couple. I got to see someone unfamiliar with the original play this for the first time, and everything landed. All in all, a really pleasant surprise.

@hellfrog To each her own!

Marvel Rivals is pretty dang fun.

[MisterBoring]

@Sammich I wish I could get more teams in Rivals that would actually push the objective. It’s really sad to see a Hulk or Wolverine standing off the objective, punching the air, then after the match, they’ve got 0 time on objective and complain that the rest of the team sucked.

Mouthwashing…just wow. PLAY IT. Best horror game in a long time, depressing heavy, dark. Just…fuck.

There are weird space alien flower bug things in my Space Trucker simulator, and I’m a little annoyed that space legs were so bad when they first dropped that I quit space trucking for a while. Tangentially related, the space alien flower bug things aren’t cute enough for me to try to join never mind the game devs won’t let people join them.

Anyway, Sol and/or Earth about to get wrecked, time to speed run building that 1:1 scale Space Trucker MU or something.

[MisterBoring]

@BloodAngel Seconded. Really also anything published by Critical Reflex. Mouthwashing, Lunacid, Arctic Eggs…

They have a lot of awesome stuff.

@MisterBoring Artic eggs was so good!
