The completionist in me is satisfied about getting all the stray fairies. The practical part of me is disappointed for remembering all you get for finding all the fairies in the Tower Temple pictured on the last page is the lousy fairy sword that can only be used with one of the C buttons.
Finished my third playthrough of Triangle Strategy. Got the “true” ending. Very good stuff. Started a fourth playthrough. There’s still one more ending to see plus a few more characters that I need to get.
I've been mostly playing a bunch of old school games, since the beginning of this year. I have been playing some DUSK, on my custom built Windows 7 machine. I played through the first and half of the second episode of that game last summer, but I never finished it. Perhaps this weekend, I will do just that. And I know the game isn't technically old school, but it is made to play like an old school shooter. I'm 41, so I grew up playing Quake style shooters.
Update: yup, ended up going with another bolt throwers campaign in TWWH II. And yup, three in a row; I definitely rolled a Tyrion with anger issues.
This time, though, Morathi somehow survived her 2-on-1 gang-bang. And between me punishing Tyrion for his mistake and Morathi going on a rampage, we made a right mess of the donut, until only Nagarythe and Chrace survived. Which I kind of felt bad about, so I stomped on Morathi and broke my "never ally" rule to help them rebuild.
Ah. This is why I love playing the bolt throwers. Always something different each time.
Played a diplomatic build in Stellaris; fanatic egalitarian coupled with xenophile, democratic with some diplomatic civics. Basically my theme was "underground space turtles that just want to make friends and be left alone".
Strong economy and research and, as is normal with the game, a pretty chaotic array of other races around me. Thankfully I have some strong allies around me and have entered into defensive pacts with them so if any fanatic purifiers or the end-game crisis come, they stand in the way :D
I haven't really messed with the diplomacy too much, I usually make an evil hive build that eats the galaxy. It's very refreshing and fun and so far easy but still amusing. Waiting for the other shoe to drop, though; this game does not go easy on players with weak fleets.
Booted up some Fifa 22 on PS5 this weekend cos I was bored, and it's amazing how EA gets away with releasing this shit. I haven't played one in years, but the performance is dogshit, and you can't get online even after changing your password... They advise you call EA help, which is not gonna happen.
Probably no gaming this weekend alas. Might squeeze in some Astro's Playroom tomorrow or Sunday morning or some Desperados 3 on Deck, but it's a full weekend
Since I did a 100% completion on Bowser's Fury on Wednesday (finished the game in less than twelve hours which is a record for a Mario platformer), there is really no game I wanted to play this weekend.
Still more Total War: Warhammer II, still more bolt throwers. Just fought a really hairy battle. Army's standard stuff; a few crossbowmen, a couple of artillery, a War Hydra and some ogres. Nothing my Hawk Riders and Darkweaver can't chew through.
The real problem was who was leading that army: Morathi on her dark Pegasus, wielding the Sword of Khaine. Holy crap she was tough. First try; tried my usual tactics, my army got shredded. Second try; tried to focus fire on her, barely made a scratch, my army got shredded. Finally, on my third try, I just tried to tank her for as long as I could, focused on dealing with the rest of her army first, then sent everything I had left to gang up on her. Barely won. It cost me about 2/3 of my army, including a dragon.
