What are you playing right now?

Still working my way through the GBA & DS Castlevania's. I'm on Portrait of Ruin now after 100%ing Dawn of Sorrow. Between that and Ghosts on PS4, I've been playing a lot of UT/UT2004 and Battlefield 1942.
 
Replaying Pokemon Crystal after being completely disappointed with Shield. Kind of amazed at how much more polished it feels compared to the Switch title despite being like 20 fucking years old.

I've never been much of a nostalgia chaser or a "genwunner" before now, since I actually really liked a lot of the later gens, but it's refreshing to see a game that feels like it was given actual care after the crushing 8 hours of disappointment and handholding Shield gave me from start to finish.


I've also been using my Crystal team to do stuff on Pokemon Stadium 2 since I still have my N64, and I'm impressed with how genuinely challenging the Stadium 2 content has been! The N64 tie in games make for excellent post-game material and I expect to get a lot of hours trying to complete everything even after finishing Crystal itself.

I got a bunch of mame roms, so Smash tv, robotron, Missile Command, etc.
The bullet hell nonstop action of Smash tv still holds up.
I know we have games now with hot, realistic tranny butt porkin' action but Mutoid man is still really cool.

pokemon colosseum/XD are pretty hard pokemon games that will kick your teeth in. every battle being a double battle opened up alot of strategies you could pull of with the right pokemons.

Xenoblade Chronicles DE. Just beat the goddamn Mischievious Naberius after trying more than 10 times. The UI and questing are much much better. Now I don't have to search the internet every other time to look for quest related items/NPCs.
 
Playing through Dark Souls 3 again trying to decide if it’s actually my favorite in the series and also Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir because it’s gorgeous and unique.
 
Xenoblade DE
I took 10 years to play the game the right way.

I replay the rainfall Trinity ie Xenoblade,Pandora's Tower and the last story

Does everyone who still plays Skyrim just play with mods? I see a lot of people these days not rating a game good by anything the developer did, but by how much modding content there is.

I will admit, I'm being a little bit facetious. That being said, I would argue a ton of thd people who are still playing it on Xbox, PS4 (to a lesser extent), and PC are modding Skyrim since it is pretty easy to do.

I was able to install Skyrim SE, download Wabbajack, and install a Skyrim modlist within a day without having to do too much on my end. As far as I am concerned, we are in a golden age of modding.

Also, making fun of Bethesda while endlesdly modding their games is tradition at this point. It's usually done from a place of love.

I don't think things are too different except in graphics quality, as a kid I grew up using things like Shoot em up Construction Kit, Unlimited Adventures, and Neverwinter Nights. Does anyone use any of their modern counterparts like RPG maker?

Minecraft. Head's up, if you're planning to change your Minecraft username to Bawlsahks, don't even try it... it'll blacklist you from joining any severs... trust me. ;(
 
Tried to get back into Rimworld but I feel like I'm new to it again in that somehow, my caravan that's coming back from attacking a pirate base won't eat the survival food they have even though I had a "traveller's diet" food restriction for them. Don't know if any updates changed shit around or I forgot how to handle getting them into eating the survival food in their inventory. It's all loaded from the last save game I had. If this shit means they're all fucked, I'm just gonna reload a less recent save even if it means I'd have to redo an assault on a pirate base in the future because fuck, why couldn't the developers give me a simpler option in letting my colonist caravan eat the survival food.

Been playing a fun little retro-thing called Panzer Paladin. It's a side-scrolling action game that borrows ideas from a bunch of NES classics and remixes them into a new package.

You like cheesy 80s mecha anime? You like Blaster Master? You like Mega Man? You like fucking Castlevania?
Give this a try!
