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?

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

        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.

    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…

    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

      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.

        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

      BTW You have posted on a very old thread though. Our weekly thread is pinned on the main page of community. This one is more than a month old.

    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.

      Same here. Finished Xenoblade Chronicles in 6+ months. Though, when the game takes over a month or so, I usually add some smaller games to mix.

      How far along are you? and how are you liking it?

        Love it. It’s basically the same game as Breath of the wild, but the underground and sky island increase the map even more. Then the added building and fusing weapons makes it way more fun to play. I’ve finished the first three temples and am on to the last now.

    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.

      Yeah, I don’t think it’s a hidden gem, but I haven’t seen many people play it. How are you liking the game.

      I am in the opposite boat, I have played the other Bayonetta (thought only the first one) but not the Cereza and the Lost Demon.

        I first tried the demo of the game. Didnt expect to like it, but found myself really enjoying the art style and specially story. Havent finished the game yet, sadly I dont have as much time to playing games as I use to.

          Happens to all of us, don’t worry about it.

          I’ll give the demo a try, once I have gone through Bayonetta 2 and 3. Thanks for the heads up.
