Right, get the heck out of here with that corporate talk. Its a great game but its 14 years old and not a remaster just a straight port.

If you are referring to MLB, I’m a Dodgers fan

Cities Skylines 2 is much better than CS1. Really enjoying it and having some luck making good looking cities. Fun because I can just pop into it fr 5-10 minutes, do a little something, then get back to work. Don’t need big blocks of time - which are scarce for me right now - to enjoy it.
Just finished up Islets. It was as advertised, surprisingly wholesome. lol
The game itself had really smooth mechanics, but failed to put forth any really difficult platforming challenges. The combat was engaging and precise, but also not extremely challenging (though harder than the platforming).
Story was generically fun. An overall good weekend play (4 total days to complete all achievements).

Just finished the main quest-line on Starfield. Including side quests, fannying around with ship and outpost building, I have spent 325 hours in game playing since launch.

Well, I’ve put 50 hours into Octopath II so far. Got my starter character (Hikari the Warrior) above level 50 now and collected all the secondary jobs except for 1 of the legendary jobs (I have Inventor but I don’t have Arms Merchant yet) and I’m on Chapter 4 with every character’s storylines.

Octopath is in my backlog. I have to finish Star Wars Outlaws as well.
Ignore the nay sayers SWO is an excellent game.
For those of you on PC and Xbox if you subscribe to Ubisoft Plus Premium for $17.99 pm you can play SWO for a fraction of the price of the full game. Plus its the ultimate edition of the game. Complete the game in a month or two, cancel your sub and you have save a nice amount of cash.

Octopath Traveler was like playing every JRPG from my childhood all at once. Nostalgic overload.

Definitely can tell some guys who worked on SAGA and classic Final Fantasy plus some of the Chrono Trigger team made them. It feels like a combination of all three put together.

IMO, the best games always leave room for the imagination to enhance the experience to suit the individual player. That’s always been the superior feature with 2D games that lack studio voice acting.

Finished up my first run through Lone Fungus. Sometimes the mechanics get really wonky, frustrating a potentially perfect platforming experience. The exploration was a ton of fun, the story line was to the point, and the main character made my wife giggle and go “aww” a few times.
Though they did really well with it (and kept it minimal), I prefer the main characters in games like this to not have any dialogue of their own.
Hopefully some patches get released. There are multiple endings and I’ll likely want to play this one again. Won’t hold my breath though, as there is already a sequel in the making. Perhaps they’ll iron out the issues then.

Just finished play Red Dead Redemption… Now onto undead nightmare (probably just a fever)
Upgraded my gaming drive from a 1TB Samsung EVO 980 to a 4TB 990 (always with heat sink). Now I get to wait on Windstream to download the 30 games/220GB that I didn’t have space for.
NVMe is the way. Now to start eyeballing motherboards capable of 4 NVMe drives. Mine only holds 2 (plus up to 6 additional SATA drives. I use 2 of those as well).
Any Motherboard recommendations? I’d like to keep it under $500.
ETA: It has to be a DDR4 motherboard.
I find it funny that the hardest boss fight in this game (Octopath II) by a country mile is the final boss of Agnea’s storyline. She’s literally a dancer. But she’s straight up abusive to you. Every fight goes the same way. First phase of the fight goes easy, then phase 2 starts and mostly goes my way. Then I get her down to sub 15,000 HP (some of my characters are doing 25,000 HP with their limits) and then she suddenly gets four frickin turns to herself and uses a bunch of skills that drop your characters to one HP and gives you every status ailment known to mankind. She be giving my party that level 67 gonorrhea or something. And I lose. Every single fricking time.

Disregard, I’m going with an NVMe to PCIe adapter. Cheap as hell.

The 4TB cards are still more expensive than I think they’re actually worth, but I got a good deal on Amazon for Black Friday. The NVMe to PCIe adapter is genius, and less than 10 bucks.
I don’t think my B550 motherboard supports bifurcation of the PCIe slots, so I might not be able to go Full Timmy with it. Still might have to upgrade the board within the next year or two.
Now that my entire Steam library is installed, I’m taking up 801GB with 121 games. Remember when the first 80GB HDD’s came out and everyone was all like, “OMG I’m never gonna run out of space!!1!”?
