Complaints aside, 7.1 already had a bunch of depressing moments. #DQX, never change.

Was planning to go through all the 7.x #DQX patches over the break. That said, not only each of them is very long, some patches require you to do some random side quests from the previous expansion. A few hours after finishing 7.1 and I'm still half done with the prep for 7.2.

Enjoy!

THIS IS KILLOONGME

Barely holding it together over these AI generated Japanese materials

I was hoping DA would be that fir me, but with all the different tools you have playing it felt a bit too close to Eternal and I ended up dropping it after a few hours :(

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast.

I did that a few days ago and I think I'm enjoying it more than during my first attempt on release.

Wasn’t that just because of the different amount of side stuff you were both doing? I played on Normal and had to redo a fight here and there, but I don’t think lowering it would make my playthrough much shorter - most of my play time was spent looking for hidden stuff and backtracking.

Finished #Khazan with the true ending and I really, really enjoyed it. Might be my favorite soulslike (non-From) game. Yes, some ideas are better executed in Nioh etc., but the general gamefeel was awesome. Also beating the last from of the last boss on my first try felt amazing.

Still the best Xenoblade game.

Aw fuck yeah. Got some Wilds hunts in tonight with @zachapon.bsky.social and @hasemo.bsky.social.

Why did fatal penis explosions come up? Who can say.

I think I officially cleared Fashion Hunter Wilds.

Enjoying #MHWilds, going through the HR now.

Definitely right before the final boss.

Best character in Wilds and it’s not even close.

Definitely won't argue with your criticism, but I have to say that after playing it for a while something clicked and I started having a ton of fun. At this point I'm glad I stuck around with it, but it does feel like some potential has been wasted.

Honestly Sony should have just extended the weekend by one day following yesterday's PSN outage.

Took me over 150 hours (a lot of which were probably spent idling, but still) to unlock the Steel Path in #Warframe. I feel like I'm still way too weak to actually do anything in it.

Second batch of early valentine chocolates from my wife. #Gundam

Just a reminder that if you applied for the #EldenRing #Nightreign beta test through the Japanese site, you have to check your page to see the results - www2.fromsoftware.jp/p/nightreign...
Pretty sure they're not sending out emails (I got in and didn't get one).

I'm sorry but there is no way in all of hell I can imagine to depict these charts in text. This one is a wiggly line showing various years in the book vs various chapters in the book. The 2nd image has a bunch of concentric boxes and games overlaid on that. It's an unreadable visual nightmare

I decided it would be fun to take my chart that shows Romance of the Three Kingdoms book pacing vs real-life years, and overlay on top of it what parts are covered by Dynasty Warriors games.

I worked hard to make this legible. It is not legible. So I am giving up and just posting what I have lmao

Devoured #EnderMagnolia over the weekend, great moody metroidvania. It does most things better than Ender Lilies, definitely feels less frustrating. They did over-correct a bit with Normal feeling a tad too easy, but you can fine tune the difficulty if you want. Took me 17h40min to do everything.

40 minutes into Elder Magnolia and I’m really digging it.

Ended up preordering the Digital Deluxe version of the new Dynasty Warriors game because of how cool the demo was.

Was looking at my old Freedom Wars tweets and damn, my character did look slick.

Popular gaming podcasts like Nextlander aside, I really enjoy The Dollop with Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds (both comedians). It’s mostly about the US history. Hilarious.

It would be so cool if actual episodes got officially released on streaming here, but I assume that’s never going to happen.

Dark Souls or Love Nikki Can you tell which item description lines are from the Dark Souls trilogy and which ones are from Love Nikki Dress UP Queen?

I knew that the Nikki games had some dark lore, didn’t expect it to be THIS dark. uquiz.com/quiz/5I26Sh/...
