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.

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How far along are you in TotK?

And good luck with Gimmighoul and Chesnaught!

[-] Dougas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

After 100 hours I've completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I've just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.

Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.

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 1 year ago

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.

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 1 year 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!

[-] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.

How did you like them both?

[-] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.

Prepare to die a lot in both.

[-] piposaurus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Waitwuhtt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BillyZane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hope you have been hoarding stuff to upgrade the armour. They need wide variety of stuff to upgrade.

Enjoy your time with it, it's rare to get game of this quality, so have fun!

[-] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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)

[-] fatmajimboo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A wide range of games!

It's nice to keep the backlog short, just don't force yourself to play anything, that burns you out.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Youngsie@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

Road Trip! Have fun!

[-] Kale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hopefully a full weekend of Baldurs Gate 3.

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.

Mario party for switch.

[-] threeLetterMeyhem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

I'm desperately trying to find time for TotK. I tried going to (end the game) and had to leave because I needed materials and meals. I managed to get extremely far in the game but work made progress impossible for the last two weeks...

[-] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

[-] Omegan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think I've decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn't get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it'll be nice to focus on that for a bit.

[-] Ace_Addams@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing mostly Tears of the Kingdom and Fallout 76

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How are you liking Fallout 76? I am a big Fallout fan, but after the abysmal 76 launch, and all the memes, I have stayed away from it.

Have the improved the game? And how's the gameplay now?

More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.

[-] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

[-] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

I have TOTK to play, but I don't have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I'll play either.
