This weekend, the kids and I had quite the adventure with Super Mario Wonder. Good stuff.

I’ve mostly played Spider-Man 2 with some Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Starfield on the side. Very much enjoying all three games.

Going on week 3 without having played a thing. I am learning how to run the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG though. So maybe that counts for something.

I've been playing Sonic Superstars and SMB Wonder this weekend. The return of '90s style platformers!

Been playing Gamedec, this Cyberpunk rpg. Only cost like £2.50 in the sale.

It's pretty interesting, manages to feel like an old school PC rpg. The writing is quite good and in depth. You are a game Detective who enters different virtual reality worlds to help people being abused or trapped in cyberspace.

The game would be better in first person or a closer third person view with full voice acting. The game obviously had a limited development budget, some side characters don't have character art.

It's a very adult game with heavy swearing and sexual themes.

I believe upon replays you can make different deductions for different events and endings.

I've been playing the RE7 DLC. Nice to see Capcom being creative with the DLC, too.

Been Playing South Park: The Stick of Truth. I have never seen South Park, so this is my first exposure -- I have the N64 game boxed, but never opened it Nyaa

It's funny, and being an Obsidian game, fantastic. I am legitimately shocked that this game survives in the woke-iverse we live in.  It's refreshing, But I legitimately thought expression like this was banned in the western world.  How do they get away with it and not be cancelled?

The game was under-rated (OG Xb). It counts Happy

I set the flower voices to English, I can't stand Dutch language in games. But the written text baubles remain unchanged, which is just plain confusing. Hrm

LOL I just checked in Wikipedia, they just made your post the definition of First World Problems.

I don't like 2d Platformers. Will I like SMWonder?

One thing I'm really happy about regarding Sonic superstars is Sonic Team's decision to NOT have any voice acting in the game. It has an opening cinematic similar to Sonic CD's and Sonic 3-like short in-game animations between levels. Again with NO annoying voice acting! 👍

C'mon SEGA, that's bush league. Given the $$$ they spend on Yakuza, they shoudl respect Sonic and make it a flagship. No corner-cutting.

Great game that even has a sequel, which I bought but never really played.

South Park gets a pass because it's been around for over 25 years. In that time they've done so much socio-political commentary/parody that pretty much every group has been insulted and made fun of. So no group can really claim they're being targeted. Scientology tried it about 15 years ago over a couple mild jokes. The South Park guys doubled down and showed them what happens if they actually go after a group by devoting an entire episode making fun of scientology.

The other part of that is they already had those battles during their first five years when people were outraged by all the offensive things these cartoon characters were doing and saying. So now they're pretty much bulletproof.

So in Gamedec, I went to a twisted and perverted ally.

Where there are all sorts of perverts trying to chat you up. One dudes a Unicorn. One's an Octopus pirate. They're always propositioning you.

Then I went to Westworld essentially. I jumped off a roof and landed in a graveyard for a secret meeting. I like the concepts and writing in this game, just wish the camera wasn't so far out.

Probably not, but it is extremely easy so far. And you can make it even easier by playing nerfed Yoshi and Nabbit (I'm still pissed about the nerfed Yoshi, Nintendo!).
