I finally got Mario Kart 8 on the switch. It’s a blast playing with my kids and showing no mercy 😈.
I also installed the Jupiter Hell Classic demo (a demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of Doom.) I enjoy it but similar to Jupiter Hell I’m pretty terrible at it so far. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a roguelike fan. You can play the original unmake DRL (Doom: the roguelike) for free, or also try the demo for JHC on steam.
I just got a psvr2 and picked up Arizona Sunshine remake. It’s really cool so far except I die so often because I just cannot get the hang of manually reloading the clips. Half the time I just toss the clip on the ground and the other half I toss the gun down. I hope I’d do better if there was ever an irl zombie takeover.
I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for the past several months, over 100 hours in and barely in act 2, such a huge game.
I also finally got around to actually digging into Factorio last week and I think it may become a new addiction. I’m still early game trying to figure out how to make green science more efficiently and also gotta rebuild a portion of my factory after getting attacked last night. I might start a new save with no enemies to get a hang of the factory part in peace.
I picked up Balders Gate 3 on a recent sale to see what all the hubbub was about. I nearly gave up on it after about the first 10 hours but soon after that it finally clicked for me and I’ve been having a blast. I think I’m only about 30 hours in right now and I hear it’s easily 100+ hours so hopefully the ride remains this fun for the duration.
Playing the main character as a high elf bard. Definitely the weakest in the group at combat but it’s nice passing every persuasion check.

And tears
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
My kids are 5 and 7. The 7 year old is able to do most of the game on her own but there are definitely frustrating sections for her. My 5 year old isn’t shy about handing the controller to me when he needs help. I think 7 is a perfect age for getting into the game mechanics but the subject matter may raise awkward questions.
I’ve completed this game twice with my kids. By far the most requested game they want to play because of the coop. The subject matter might be a little deep for their age but the gameplay is stellar.
I just picked up Hogwarts Legacy on the recent PlayStation sale. Haven’t made it too far in yet but I can tell this game will eat up some hours.
Elden Ring to get a new character ready for the DLC. Picked up Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga on a recent sale. Still only a few hours in so just now getting into some of the more complex squad builds. Seems like there will be tons of ways to customize the squads, I anticipate many more hours spent.
I decided to take a break from BG3 and started playing the first Death Stranding. I’m still pretty early in the game but it’s already got me intrigued. The story is way out there and I hope it all comes together to make sense at some point.
