In between my spikes of melancholy, isolation and loneliness I’m currently playing Tekken 8. The game can be extremely frustrating and unfair but I don’t have anything else to play and I’m running out of money so I won’t buy anything else this year. WWE 2k24 has been a disappointment this year, cyberpunk was a disappointment, stardew valley has been a disappointment. Warframe, another disappointment, that game feels that has no real direction or sense of progress.

Seems like modern games aren’t good anymore (I guess stardew valley isn’t new but whatever).

The only decent modern decent game I played this year is Re4remake…

I was planning of buying the new Spider-Man game, but after seeing the promotional material, it turned me off.

    Returning to the Elden Ring DLC today. I decided to not change my build. I will rather start collecting the Scadutree Fragments, which I completely ignored until I hit a brick wall mid DLC.

    The Onion of Death will return. And it will fuck shit up.

      You’re not using the new stuff in the DLC? Lotta cool things to play with. I’m on a dex build using some heavy fucking armor I got right in the beginning and switching between the various dex weapons I keep finding. I kind of want to level up more so I can try new spells without having to respec

        Honestly? I didn’t look for any. Went in the DLC running and gunning to see how far I can get. Turns out it all came to a screeching halt at the Shadow Keep. Fuck those red knights.

        I will certainly try some new loot but first I have to bolster my survivability.
