Videogames

I haven’t written one of these in a while. Technically this would be the 3rd What Have I Been Playing posts, but the second one was hidden in my Switching Back To Linux post. The crazy thing is that not a whole lot has changed. So here’s what I’ve been playing over the past few many months. WARDOGS This has been my recent obsession and I kind of got bait-and-switched. During the play tests the game’s anti-cheat worked fine under Proton but at launch this was no longer the case, which REALLY sucks. I really really want to cut Windows out as much as possible. Luckily I only ever boot it to play a few games. But enough about that… WARDOGS. This game has been a real breath of fresh air for me lately. It’s kind of like a mix of Arma with Battlefield. Or I guess more accurately it’s Arma Light. Boiled down, there are 3 factions that are fighting for control of a single territory. It’s King of the Hill. 100 players. 3 teams. Buncha fun shit. Heli’s. Tanks. Urals to transport supplies between your home base and various player built “Forward Operating Bases” or “FOBs”. ...

About a month ago I decided to purchase a Steam Deck OLED. I’ve gotten into “Retro Handhelds” and other means of mobile gaming over the past few years but nothing was really powerful enough to play what I wanted to play. It started when I discovered the Miyoo Mini+ and kind of snowballed from there. After the MM+, I got an old model Anbernic RG35XX 1, then I got an Anbernic RG351P because I liked the idea of a device with a native GBA screen ratio. It’s also very pocketable and surprisingly comfortable to hold. After that I got an Anbernic RG35XX SP 2 because I always wanted a GBA SP growing up but for some reason my younger brother got one. Finally, after all that I bought an Anbernic RG406H because I wanted a device with a controller to play PokeMMO. Now, I know this is a lot of devices, but if you know me you know I tend to collect things. I mean, I have over 20 keyboards. But the reason I got these devices was because I started a job with a lot of downtime leaving me a lot of time to play games I haven’t really played before. Maybe I’ll make a post about all my different handhelds and whatnot. But this post is about what I’ve been playing recently. ...
