This week it was a whole lot of Star of Providence. This game makes me feel like I did when I played the original Binding of Isaac the first time. It's great.

Team Fortress 2 as always for my comfort food. No end in sight for this one. Valve recently made TF2 source available which is cool and has led to some community fixes as well as people (hopefully soon) publishing their whole ass mods to steam (Team Fortress 2 Classic being the one I'm most interested in).

I downloaded and setup Horizon XI on linux in anticipation of some users possibly playing from here. I've never played before but played other brutally difficult/grindy MMOs in my youth (Tibia) so I'm sure it'll be up my alley if others do end up playing.

I've been wanting to play the Defiance reboot since that game strikes me as an intriguing jankfest, but proton has issues with how winsock is implemented so I can't actually play yet unfortunately. Maybe that gets resolved soon since it seeks like people have triaged the problem fairly well.

I tried Daemon X Machina which I was hoping might scratch the PSO itch and instead found a game with the campiest and worst writing/VA combo I can remember encountering. It was given away free on EGS a while back so check it out if you want to see something incredible. Actual gameplay is quite fun if not a bit easy currently.
