Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I'm still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I'm "only" 40 hours into the game.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don't even realize how much time I have put into it.

[–] Waitwuhtt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.

Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.

I'm about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I'm definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.

Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.

Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I'll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.

I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.

Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.

I'm waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just checked out Unsighted, looks pretty good, went to add it to my wishlist and it was already there 😀 I don't even remember when I added it. How are you enjoying it?

If you are playing BOTW too, I would suggest not jumping in TotK right away, it can cause burn out, but if you weren't playing that should be fine.

ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.

Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I'm juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.

Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.

How are you enjoying the game?

[–] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah there's a ton it's just really tedious if you want a lot unless you start early and use the seed maker. I'm still addicted to the game tho especially since my son is now a teenager and picking his career

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks! Though I am not sure if you are talking about your actual son, or in-game one. 😀

I've taken a step back from gaming this week. It was a busy one.

Still, I'm making pretty good progress on totk. Great game.

I got a 4070 for my birthday. So I tore my whole PC apart to dust out every nook and cranny. It replaced an R9 290. Other specs: 24 GB DDR3, i7-4790K running on Z97, 1 TB NVMe SSD and 8 TB HDD (I don't mind a loading screen)

I previously had 4 3,000 RPM server fans keeping it cool because I was running dual R9 290s in the thing air cooled. When you have two 94° cards, there's a ton of hot air coming from the thing. It'll heat a room quite effectively.

I'm down to a single 140mm 700 RPM fan in back and a single 120mm 800-2000 RPM fan in front. It's gone from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to near silent. And in testing, my GPU never hits 70°. My 290 ran 85-90 playing Wind Waker with Hypatia's HD texture pack. My 4070 doesn't even get to 50° after an hour of play. And my intake fan doesn't even have to ramp up. It's so nice having a quiet PC again.

It's gonna be pushing 100°F outside this weekend so I'll be staying inside and hiding from the weather. Maybe I'll mow on Monday morning since it's supposed to be a lot cooler. Need to replace my busted garbage disposal. But when I'm not doing those things, I'll probably STILL be playing Tears. I think I'm up to 70 hours.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, I didn't understood most of what you said, except, you got a better GPU and what was quite a load for previous one, is nothing for this one. And your PC is quieter because of that.

That sounds great. Congratulations on your new gear. Are you planning to play something to test the limits? Something that will make it scream too?

Good luck hiding from the weather and playing more TotK!

[–] fatmajimboo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower

Found this hidden gem (for me at least) "Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon" really like this game.

Have been thinking to try out other Bayonetta's too, even thought they are different style of games.

Tears. I play games for a long time, so it’ll be another couple months with it.

I am also playing zelda, but been jumping back and forth between it and Pokemon snap 64

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

How are you enjoying both games? And how far along are you in Zelda?

Also, if you care about it, someone recently created a community for sharing "snaps" from Pokemon Snap. https://lemmy.world/c/pokemon_snap@lemmy.piperservers.net (Making a relative link doesn't seem to be working at my end for some reason, so just shared the direct link)

[–] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that

I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try... The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I'll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.

[–] fruity@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing 'I am going to finish it soon, it's almost the end' and then the end didn't happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!

What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?

[–] pyyp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm also still on tears of the kingdom. My current goal is to finally do the airways to get the faeries to open up so i can upgrade my armor. Don't have so much free time these days, so I expect that to last me until super Mario wonder comes out.

I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.

[–] Youngsie@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm moving four hours across the country but I've been playing paper Mario 64 again on nso and having a blast. Basically killing time waiting for pikmin 4 !

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Road Trip! Have fun!

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Played a lot of Mr. Suns Hat Box until I ran into a bug that sometimes spawns an invisible wall art the start of some levels. Since the invisible wall is effectively a death sentence for the character, and most of the game is playing with the risk/reward of character building, I'm just done with it.

I've also been enjoying Mini Motor Racing X. It's a fantastic port.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pokémon Sword, surprisingly enough! Still have some Dynamax Adventures to wrap up. Aside from that, I'll probably sweep my SV raids to see if I can land a shiny Gimmighoul, then go back to TotK.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really fun game. Personally, I like the newer ones as well (especially Origami King) but I take them for what they are: a different series by the same name. Although I'm probably a bit of a heretic since Super Paper Mario is my favorite.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I actually did get Origami King on release year, it's the best of the new games for sure. I did play Super Paper Mario a while back as well. I remember liking the flip mechanic, and that it had the best story.

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.
