      Same! I finally “beat” satisfactory by delivering all the project parts. In early access I unlocked all milestones but never delivered the final project part.

      Starting space age, only got up to automating green science, working on military science now. Probably won’t be able to play much this week though.

    Just started Baldur’s Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I’ll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don’t think I can defeat him and his buddies…

    Metaphor ReFantazio is amazing.

    I doesn’t look like it needs my help, because it’s doing pretty well, but damn, it’s good.

    Maybe too much anxiety to play a game in which you’re running for office in a fantasy land, at least until November, but… yeah, it’s bonkers and it’s well written and it’s by far the most political game the Persona-adjacent studios have ever done in some really fun ways.

    Also a triumph of UI. Not only does it look great, it’s so frictionless. It’s a turn-based JRPG and it plays faster and more smoothly than that abomination of an action game Square tried to pass as a Final Fantasy VII remake by orders of magnitude. Seriously, go play it if you’re at all interested in that corner of gaming.

        Just because you can grind money easily or some other reason?

        In any case on Normal I haven’t felt it at all, mostly because I’ve been single-day completing most dungeons and that gets you a bit overleveled.

        But it’s still a lot faster and tighter than Persona on that front. And more flexible and nonlinear, too. For what looks like a long game, this thing moves. Much fewer, shorter stretches of just visual novelling with friends (although there’s plenty of that, too).

          Money grinding is pretty efficient, but I was referring to the high rate of item drops. There’s a pretty common enemy that drops a mp recovery item. I’m blasting through dungeons in one go.

            Ah, yeah, but the fun bit is that there are a ton of builds that let you get there. HP-based skills are powerful in this, and you can heal for cheap, so you can get there that way, and once you get a bit overlevelled and can kill mobs out of turn-based combat you’re just cruising.

            I may see what happens on harder difficulties, but I genuinely don’t care too much, because just the mechanics of figuring out the sequence for each dungeon and enemy type is so fun to do with the brilliant UI that I just… enjoy doing it, kinda like you enjoy clicking things on Diablo or something. Truly smooth design.

            I just wish they had figured out antialiasing better, because woof. I ended up injecting better AA through ReShade and never looked back.

    I’ve been taking a video game break to play more board games. Zoo Vadis has been a top pick lately and I highly recommend.

    I was playing Dwarf Fortress, but the bugs made me shelve the game for the foreseeable future. It’s great until the bugs kill your game.

    I started Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. I’ve been loving it, it’s like they made the game for me. It’s a perfect unwind game at the end of a day of work between the calming music, character conversations, and silly or cute mini games; but there’s also enough strategy and action in battles to keep my mind stimulated when I want more than that.

    Roots of Pacha - well polished, stress free farming sim. Highly recommended if you like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons.

    I took the month of Halloween as an excuse to replay all of Silent Hill and it has been a fantastic experience, very nostalgic. I’m already playing the 4th game and when I finish it I’m going to jump into playing short horror games on Itch.io.

      The Brotato DLC is great. I’m still working on going through and beating the Abyss with all my tates.
