What are you playing?

Final Fantasy 7 remake got delayed until April 10th.

 

[ShurikN]

There's a bunch of new and old events in Apex Legends in the next 2 weeks, so I got back into it after a while. I tend to play daily until I max out the season at lvl 110, and then take a break for a month til the new season comes. And for events like these ofc.

Gonna take a small break on Path of Exile, playing Solo Self-found can be frustrating. Besides, the season is long.
I'll probably use that time to finish Blasphemous. I'm probably at 50ish% completion atm. And hopefully finish Hollow Knight.
Gotta try and finish a bunch of stuff now before starting Shadow of the TR.

Dying Light man... I dont know If I have the time and will to complete the expansion. Compared to the base game, it's an absolute snooze fest. The verticality that made the game great is completely removed in the expansion. Instead of traversing the rooftops and walls you drive a buggy across acres of bland and copy-pasted fields and crops... I'm reeeeeeally not loving it.

I turn 30 in May and I still feel like a teen. Time goes far too fast.

I am 30 and I envy you. For me there is a lot of pressure, adult life is very hard. I also love the country where you live. Finland seems amazing.

I am playing PUBG, a lot! And WRATH - Aeon of Ruin

Shitty age group isn't it, the 30s? You can't sell being a party animal / raving student anymore, and you lack the experience of the real adults that have gone through the motions...

Who the hell do we belong to. On the plus side, apparently older people do like us because we remind them of how they used to be and what they've gone through. I haven't decided yet whether they just like to laugh about us or share our feelings...

Did I just reveal my age... 34. There u have it.

Same age. The worst part is when your friends are already moving on starting their families and you're like "I've got time...". Hell, my COO has two daughters that go to school already and he's 5 or 6 years younger.

 

[Sensates]

Also in my 30s, I don't get the pop culture these days, but at least there are games to fall back to lol.

Currently trying to finish Doom, what a great game. RDR2 already losing me...

 

[Kapone33]

Well I was loving Jedi Fallen order but saw a deal on Control and have been playing that ever since. I would not get lifted (For all of us Canadians that enjoy the Government of Canada's offerings) or drunk before playing though because the game is pretty out there in terms of story. I think I am good until CP 2077 launches now. I don't even have RDR2 on my radar anymore (for now).

for me my early twenties were the worst.
paying my university tuition on shitty money they give you when you have little experience.working two jobs and extramural studies,barely breaking even.
now I'm 32 and I'm at the point in my life where I do whatever I want just to see what happens.

what gives me peace of mind is now I know there's very few things in life one should really care about,the rest is expendable.I focus on things I'm determined to achieve,I don't care about others that I wouldn't mind losing in the first place.

The most important thing for you youngsters is to have some fun and enjoy your youth but more importantly it is to work hard and save for your retirement. It's easy when you're in your 30s to do that. When us Baby Boomers are done with Social Security there might not be much left for you guys and certainly nowhere near enough to retire on.

I worked hard all of my life and invested. Now I am looking at early retirement in 3 years at age 60 and I will live very comfortably. Hard work and financial planning is how to get there while you are young.

Journey

I'm on a mission to beat Journey.

This game was briefly installed at a local arcade I frequented during the 1980's. I came within spitting distance of beating the game and I ran out of tokens. The next time I came in to give it a shot someone else was on it...and then it was "out of order" and next...it was gone. I never got the chance to finish what I started...until now.

I've gotten myself a Raspberry Pi and I'm currently trying to figure out RetroPie. Having some trouble with what's what...not much experience with emulators. Not to mention...the places to download rom's...well, a lot of them seem iffy at best and I've never been much of a console guy(The last one I owned was a Sega Genesis in the early 1990's.), so I'm trying to figure out which controller's would be best for a rig like this. I'm essentially just taking it slow and enjoying the process.....

I'm quite enamored by this Raspberry Pi 4(4GB version). For a $55 pc the size of a credit card...It actually runs Debian Buster(Raspbian) quite well. In a pinch...if I had to use it for a desktop...I could.

Don't Stop Believin'.... ,

I can agree with that. I started investing when I was 21. It was probably the one and only time I thought of the future. Believe it or not, I started my 401k with Wal-Mart, because they offered and I said "Why not?" No more thought than that. I wasn't thinking about much back then. I mostly liked to do all of the dumb things people do when they're that age... not the most responsible choices but definitely the most fun... sometimes so much so it's still mostly illegal I've carried that 401k everywhere since then and looking at it now and seeing how much I've actually accrued, I think it was the right choice. I'm looking at expanding to other avenues, just seeing how much you can do with really just a little cash flow and some time. I'm a boring mofo now... do nothing but work, save, and tinker with hobbies. Sometimes I leave the house in search of a mate, to exercise, or to see my friends/family. It's a simple life. Not much overhead, drama, or problems. I'd like to at some point be able to do basically this, minus working 8-12 hours a day most days. Maybe take the time spent not working and travel a bit. I think I can get there, but I would never entrust that to social security. I meet people NOW, all of the time, who are retired and still work to pad out the bills, living basically bare minimum if not for help from family or people close to them in their community. Retail is full of them. They work in basically every corporate-owned store I ever go to. I can't imagine being that age, when you should be enjoying the time you have left, putting up with the bullshit those places can put a person in front of. Some do it just to keep busy, but most don't seem too happy about it... have problems on their feet and all of the high-energy flim-flam you deal with, not to mention the stupid politics of those small people. That can't be me. No friggin way.

If I thought SS could afford me so much as a leisurely life in a 55+ trailer park, I might be content with that - I'm really just that easy, but I seriously doubt even that will be possible for us millennials 30 years from now. Or at least... I'm not playing wait-and-see on that one...


I have a new Skyrim meta. It's called "Is a mod doing that, or has the game just always been that way?" Sometimes it is legitimately hard to tell if I broke some minor thing, or if it was always that way and I never noticed/simply ignored it. Never ending supply of totally unique quests!

I'm going through Ysgramor's tomb right now and I just realized that Farkas really is just dumb as rocks. See he had a bad experience with spiders once, so he can't come with Ayla and I on our little journey to meet Ysgramor, the first true king of the nords, founder of the companions, semi-deity-level man... the guy who laid out the principles the man lives his life by. And mister super-strong werewolf dude won't go to meet his greatest role-model cuz spiders... one of the weakest enemies you can face in all of Tamriel. "Say hi to Ysgramor for me, okay?" Sure Farkas... definitely be sure to mention how you couldn't come because you valiantly stayed behind to eradicate some stupid spiders when we go party with the fuckin Bringer of Worlds. I'm sure the warrior of all warriors will understand.

Is he sure he wants to go to Sovngarde to meet him after that? May curry more favor with the daedra Hircine in his eternal hunting grounds... you can still hang with Aela and Skjor... but I dunno if he'd take a spider-shy werewolf either.

It just cracks me up, man. He has a chance to meet his idol before he dies, not knowing if he'll even go to Sovngarde to meet him in the afterlife, and his answer is "Well... I would, but spiders... you know what I mean? So sorry. Can you just like, tell him I said hi...?"

As an older Generation X guy (1967..only the 3rd year for X) i too have been saving and working hard and will be retiring before 60. I do, just as you, hope those in their 30’s here enjoy their years as much as possible! Nothing in the world is as valuable as time you cannot get back.

now that I sounded suitably like an old guy , back to gaming stuff!

Started playing The Wolf Among Us. I like the story but controls using m+k feel like you're walking through mud. Plus the game doesn't recognize that you've turned on your controller so you have to restart it if you want to switch to gamepad input. Settings menu leaves much to be desired, leave the fast sync on in nvidia panel and boom - 600 fps in the menu.

 

[cucker tarlson]

picking up where I left off with Alan Wake
awesome game,but you couldn't screw up the controls more if you tried.

also,I noticed the sound of closed doors is the same as in the first max payne.nice memories.

I bought that game before it got pulled from Steam temporarily and the game kept crashing on me on the same point. iirc it was when I was flipping a light switch or breaker in the cabin. Tried the usual fixes and even re-downloaded it. Same thing but it was when the game was pulled from Steam. Maybe it just wasn't getting some needed patch for that. I need to give it another go soon and see how it goes.

what chapter was that ?

for me the game itself is fine.
it's the controls.you get yourself $400 worth of kb+m equipment and then find a usual pc tpp game that's just awful with kb+m.
I gotta get that 8bitdo pro+ I was eyeballing asap.

 

[64K]

what chapter was that ?

I don't recall. It's been a while back but it was pretty early in the game. I also found the camera looking over the right side to be a bit awkward but you can change it to the left side which I found more agreeable.

Opposite for me,I tried to play that game with a controller and it annoyed me in ~10 mins and went back to kb+m and finished the game that way.
I really can't stand games with QTE 'quick time event' while using a controller since I rarely use it so I have no muscle memory of the button layout which means I fail 90% of QTE with a controller.

I'm also 30 and so far my best years were between my high school years and up to 25 or so,its downhill ever since and at this point I don't care anymore and just live my life day after day with a 'whatever' happens mindset.

Soon finishing Bioshock Infinite and the Burial at Sea DLC,not yet decided what I'm gonna play next.

Lol, no way is it downhill. What I wouldn’t give to be 30 again! Your 30’s are when your body still can pretend you are in your 20’s, people still consider you young, yet you have also gained some measure of respect for the experiences and obstacles you have already completed. By the end of your 30’s most reach much more comfortable income levels as well. Enjoy, the best is yet to come!

Most QTEs are pointless and they just distract me from paying attention to the cut scene because I'm concentrating on which key to press next.

What do you think of Bioshock Infinite and Burial at Sea so far? I found both thoroughly enjoyable.

I can't get into Infinite,I left it off in the summer.I'll get back to it,but it's not the same.
I got Bioshock 2 last year and instatntly fell in love,best game I played in 2019.

 

[Sithaer]

Well it definitely beats worrying about it.

What I meant is that based on my general 'happiness' its clearly downhill so I stoped caring about that and just live like 'whatever'.
I really don't enjoy being 30+ tbh,I'm a simple person and I prefer to keep it that way but almost everyone I run into around my age are like do you have kids/family,car and other stuff like that and all I can say is nope then they give me that judging look which I hate. 'one reason why I'm not a social person'

Anyway I don't want to offtopic here,I'm not sure but is there a place on this forum where such discussions are okay?
Btw I don't have to pretend,I look way younger than my real age and when I buy booze they still ask for my ID card sometimes. '18 is the legal age in my country'

Most QTEs are pointless and they just distract me from paying attention to the cut scene because I'm concentrating on which key to press next.

Yep same feeling about QTE,gotta love it when I miss a fair part of the game cause I'm forced to focus on the damn keys..

I really do like the Bioshock serie and Infinite is my fav part,this was my second playtrough but the DLC was new to me and it was alright on its own.
Finished it now and I have to say I'm even more confused about the whole story now,even tho I thought I had it figured out.
