What are you currently playing?

Whatever makes you sleep at night or convinces yourself. Not my problem.

No, it's not about what helps me sleep at night, it's about you talking out of your ass again, butthurt that I've criticized a bunch of your slop and that the games I do like don't often align with yours. Clearly it is your problem, since you constantly reply and defend.

So anyway, on to much more important things: still having a blast with Serious Sam.

I've been bouncing back in between that and Doom on PS1. This game also has most of the levels from Doom II. You can select either campaign at any time. The game using its password saves, but i'm using a emulator so I can really use save states. I'm gonna be doing the Doom II levels later today.

That's a wrap on Doom Eternal, on Ultra-Violence difficulty. I got the achievements for collecting everything, I'm pretty sure, so I have proof I went out of my way to clear the entire game and not just blast through the main stuff. Well, not that that really matters. The game's brilliant; combat loop is a lot of fun once you start getting it down, world design is amazing, the lore is... well, it's stupid, but it's good for a laugh, and the multiple difficulty levels make it easy to find the point where you get into The Fun Zone. Definitely recommend giving it a shot, though some people might bounce off a few of its idiosyncrasies; for those people, I recommend Doom 2016, which is arguably closer to the original games in mechanics and design.

I don't have the Ancient Gods DLC, and I'm not going to go out of my way to buy it right away. Instead I'm going to pick up another game from my backlog, and the most likely target at the moment is Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Playing a game that's a bit a lot different from Doom Eternal should be a nice change of pace, and I still haven't gotten around to completing it; with the interest I have in Rebirth, it'd probably be a good idea to get a lot more familiar with 'Season 1'.

Resident Evil 4 (remake)

This will be like me 5th attempt to get into an RE or something. Series never clicked for me. But it's half-off in Steam and I'm in the mood for some stupid violence. I hope there's a babbie mode so I can just blast monsters in the face and zip through the story.

Animal Crossing the Rubicon
was stubbornly uninterested in this since forever, but after a while ppl kept talking about it and it'd come up in casual conversation as just an accepted part of modern life, so curiousity took the wheel as it so oft does and went for it. fashionably late, some might charitably say. and hey it's going ok so far. was surprised it starts out more like a twee colonial misadventure where you and some anthropomorphic animal twats are dropped in the middle of buttfuck nowhere to survive off sticks, shells and shoddy tents instead of the assumption I went in with that it'd give me a house and a mortgage straight away. only couple of annoyances are no observable shortcut options for items, customisable especially. eating food is also laborious, suspiciously like real life tbh. moving around feels kinda clunky. can't find an auto-forward text option neither. not enough to stop trundling further for progress though with a somewhat omnipresent begrudging frown

one thing that helped me get into a rhythm was learning of the 'shoot knee to stun then grapple throw, or suplex if grappling rear of zombies' maneuver, then aiming throws towards other nearby zombies too, cos it fundamentally changed the approach, felt less a boring standard shoulder shooter and more like an, uh, whatever the hell genre all that chaos counts as

You start the babbie mode by clicking "new game"

Didn't realize there was free DLC for Sea of Stars (from like November last year). The DLC doesn't add much (some elemental blocks are now hidden) and focuses primarily on couch co-op. This is a nice addition if you're like me and think Sea of Stars' game-within-a-game 'Wheels' is phenomenal, and could only be improved further by a board game analog.

I played from an old save for like 30 minutes purely to get the new 6 trophies, which again are mostly associated with couch co-op and presume you have three controllers and/or three hostages with you. You can thankfully cheese these trophies (which are all about timing attacks or blocks between "three players") by playing DJ on two controllers and a phone by enabling the remote play app.

This was nowhere near as excruciating as winning that one race in LittleBigPlanet 3 while controlling four characters on four different controllers at the same time.
