    I’m into Elite Dangerous at the moment. I got a cheap second hand X52 hotas and I set up head tracking with OpenTrack and a webcam. It’s pretty immersive and fun!

    I’m almost finished with Skyward Sword HD which for the most part I have really enjoyed. There have been a couple major frustration points because of game design tropes that unfortunately several Zelda games have included since OoT. The story and characters have been amazing overall, though, and I am looking forward to seeing the conclusion this weekend.

    Late-game Skyward Sword Spoilers

    One trope that I strongly dislike in the newer Zelda games is “forced stealth.” OoT is the first game (IIRC) that had stealth sections, and I feel like a lot of the games that have come after include it. The multiple stealth sections was my biggest knock against Echoes of Wisdom, and in Skyward Sword to put a section so late in the game and also take away all of my items was jarring and un-fun for me.

    Skyward sword also committed a sin on multiple occasions (including the above) of forcing me to re-traverse through an area I had already traversed through because of some contrived reason. The volcano was the worst, having to re-traverse it with the carry bot, and then again during stealth was just tedious and not fun. Flooding the forest was a neat idea in theory but then having me do a huge collect-a-thon where I had to surface every time I wanted to use Dowsing was pretty awful and felt like just a way to extend my play time.

    After I finish Skyward Sword I think I’m going to pick up Twilight Princess on GameCube. This is another Zelda game that I’ve never had a chance to play, and consensus seems to be to play the GC version over the Wii version (I don’t have access to a WiiU).

    Still have mirrors edge to continue, but this week i actually started setting up my own wow private server for some old buddies to play on. Will start for real after summer when they are more inclined towards gaming again. So far pretty fun to do (even thoguh just solo testing so far). I played a lot of wow 20 yrs ago

    Like the week before, I can’t settle on one game.
    I’ve been playing Death Stranding quite a bit, but then got to setting up switch emulation on my Steam Deck again, so Ive been juggling between Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem: Engage and Astral Chain.
    I’ll be travelling for a bit, so it’s likely going to be one of those for the next couple of weeks.

        I’ve had great results with a newer emulator (Citron).
        It’s not perfect, but I can play almost all of my games at full speed, Docked mode, and with few stutters. It runs about on par with my modded Switch, but in Docked mode, so that’s a real advantage imo.

    • The Sims 2 PSP edition

    PSP edition highlighted because it’s a totally different game from The Sims 2, it’s just poorly named.

    Truly a great game, the only game in the past 8 years that gave me a sens of mystery.

    Play it ! But don’t buy the original game disc as it runs poorly from it on the PSP; loading times every second, this isn’t a hyperbole, the game needs to load walking animations, interaction animations ect… by physically spinning the UMD disc.

    Go to https://www.pspunk.com/ for a very very very easy PSP custom firmware installation tutorial if you want to play it on the original console.

      All of the console Sims games are very different from the mainline series. The Sims 2 ones are especially off the walls. GBA ones are cult classics.
