Video game thread
What are you playing this week?
I uninstalled Slay the Spire 1 and 2. I realized that the games (mainly sts2) took up a lot of time and capacity due to my need to play optimally, without giving me much joy in return.
Started and finished a Civ V game instead. I got around 30 wonders, because I was playing on a more relaxed difficulty than usual.
Tried out The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (demo) briefly. Dismayed to find it has no ultrawide support. And they call it HD-2D yet all the characters are pixel art style. Might play it in 16:9 on my TV at some polnt. They've priced it very highly, and it has denuvo, so I might wait for a deep discount further down the road.
I've been playing Slay the Spire 2 recently, and I find myself simply not having fun, either. I'll get to the end of an act and then get disappointed in starting the next act, and then quit. I'll come back, but it's not the same.
At the risk of culture war outside of the Monday thread, there was a brouhaha over Anita Sarkeesian's name in the credits, and since then I see it everywhere. Why is the only ancient who presents as feminine a man in drag, or trans (look at that jawline)? Why is there no such thing as an attractive woman in this world? Why are the two female characters 1) covered head to toe and 2) a living skeleton? Why is the potion courier "they?" And so on. I'm not blaming Sarkeesian entirely, I think Mega Crit are true believers, but once I started to Notice, I haven't been able to stop.
As for what I've been playing, I'm still trying to keep Mechabellum alive. It's got a new patch, new season, and I play a few games a week.
