I played original dota just within warcraft 3 TFT, so it was without skill based matchmaking. And it was mostly about the same I'd say. Sometimes you get people absurdly good, and sometimes you get people horrendously bad. I never played Dota 2 ranked matchmaking. Always just unranked, usually all random. It was intensely try hard and usually made me more upset than full of joy. So I quit when they broke all random years and years ago (2017 maybe?), also my wrists can't handle that much mouse clicking anymore so it was for the best, physically and mentally.

I finished the resident evil 4 remake. Which is a pretty solid remake, does a good job with the plot, making things make a little more sense. Has a combat system that is more or less the same as the original but I'd say probably quite a bit harder since they do expect you to parry everything (which I never did except in krauser fights). And cuts some bits for reasons, I'd guess pacing maybe? But it still feels like the final chapter is too long despite being noticeably shorter.

My main grief with it is the game feels like it was ashamed the old game was campy and didn't take itself seriously and tries to be more serious (it's still goofy but less) and overall part of the originals charm is how it doesn't take itself seriously. For me anyways. Also the weapon exclusive upgrades feel bad now, and show up very late. And knife durability is like a kick in the teeth to original game players who just want to shoot once and knife 4 times. Oh and the aiming system feels horrendous, I missed so many close shots because the game has a bullshit random spread if you move your target reticle too fast.

Might I get the souldiers code?

Like with all theft and commerical sabotage don't get caught.

Yeah, midir is such an excellent fight, and the putrescent knight isn't that good. It suffers from too much retreating which can make fighting it a pain. Once I'm figured out to just jump over his fire attacks it became much simpler and just a matter of learning to keep myself close so I could actually hit him.

My friends used to go to the mall near our school on our lunch breaks and they'd play lightgun shooters (jurassic park was what they played alot of). I didn't have any money so I just watched them play.

When I was younger I have one time my dad took me to the movie place in a lake town, and we played through the entire Simpsons arcade game together. One of my few good memories with my dad. I don't think we actually finished the game, but we got really far in at least.

Somehow ZZZ has its hooks into me. It's just light enough for me want to keep playing it. Is it good? Sort of? but it's bright and colorful and gives me fun vibes when I play it so I'll see how long I can keep up with it.

Yeah I have like 80 hours in the game of me just catching horses, hunting animals, and searching for stuff. Only at the second camp (3rd chapter)l I think) but who cares because I'm happy to ride around go hunting or gambling or whatever. Figuring out the store robberies was pretty interesting too!

It's my number 1 most wanted game. I will take off two weeks when it launches so I can just play it.

Well it was in early access for like 2 years I want to say, so maybe that's stretching the parameters of this post, but I've continued to play hours of it even now. One day I'll get to ascension 20.

The fact the map continually zooms out as you explore is genius, I kept being disappointed thinking I had explored everything only to be repeatedly excited when more and more stuff appeared.

Tears of the Kingdom, I found all the light roots recently so I recently returned to the surface and finished the Zora region quest and started on the desert one now. I already have master sword and like 100 of every item so I can do pretty much anything. Just enjoying exploring and solving the micro puzzles.

Stardew Valley dropped its 1.6 update which adds so much stuff so I started a new farm. I haven't gotten past year 3 ever but that was like 6 years ago so we'll see if I can get to late game farming stuff this time. Perfection sounds insane but sometimes you need a time sink.

And dragons dogma 2 releases at midnight so it should make me feel guilty about not playing the two games I mentioned above.

I also got some survivor clones, soulstone survivor, and death must die. They're fun games, death must die leans into hades style of upgrades. And soulstone is big and colorful with a billion unlocking things. We'll see if I keep at them.

BALATRO is always there to now. Clawing it's way into my brain, so I'm sure I'll pick away at it.
