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.
Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don’t even realize how much time I have put into it.
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
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 beat BotK, I played that shit endlessly on release.
And unsighted is good! It’s simpler but excellent. It’s worth it
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.
Congratulations on finishing the game!
You already got me interested in “In Other Waters”, now you are getting me even more excited. Going to move it up on my to-play list.
How are you playing Unravel 2? Single player or co-op?
I’m playing Unravel 2 solo, I could not convince my SO to play with me. It does work surprisingly well as a single player game though.
I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.
How far along are you in TotK?
And good luck with 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.
Wow, 100 hours and just 2 temples, you are doing some real exploration.
Most of the time I end up getting lost in the world chasing a shrine or some landmark
Haha, that’s the real fun of the game.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
TotK is just as fun doing the main quest, as it’s not doing the main quest. Though right now I am really excited about the story and want to know more.
Good luck with FF7R-I, are you looking forward to playing the the second part coming next year?
More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.
Hopefully a full weekend of Baldurs Gate 3.
Have fun!
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.
Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.
I didn’t even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.
How are you enjoying the game?
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
Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks! Though I am not sure if you are talking about your actual son, or in-game one. 😀
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…
Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser’s Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.
Why did you like Luigi Mansion 3?
Dorfromantik looks fun. Is it as relaxing as it looks?
I just found it very slow. A lot of unskippable cut scenes. Yes! So relaxing.
Yeah, Luigi Mansion does have that issue. I didn’t notice it the first time, because I like to watch the cut scenes, but when I tried to replay it, I just couldn’t.
Thanks for the info, will add Dorfromantik to to my list!
Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that
Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.
How did you like them both?
Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.
Prepare to die a lot in both.
Yeah, heard they are both tough ones.
After TotK I am going to play a few smaller games, haven’t decided which ones yet. May give them a try then.
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 !
Road Trip! Have fun!
I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.
