I started Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube this evening.

I wanted to play this during the Spooky month of October, but Growlanser III took a bit more time than I thought it would. However, it's now cold and it still is spooky, so I think it still fits.

I've only barely touched the game, but I love the personality of it. Luigi is funny and the game has a ton of character to it. I don't know if I've gotten the control scheme down just yet. Fighting ghosts feels a bit different, but I think I will get a handle of it shortly.

I've been looking forward to playing this game for a while and I can't wait to dive deeply into it this weekend.

I started up Tormentum: Dark Sorrow (iOS), which I downloaded after reading this HG101 article:

It is an example of the much (and, often, rightfully) maligned “hidden object” adventure games. It is, however, the most grim, most metal hidden object game ever. I’m enjoying it, and anyone interested in trying out the most hardcore casual game ever should give it a shot.

I've been casually playing Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. It's the first Harvest Moon developed by Natsume itself since they split with Marvelous. It's actually okay so far! I'm not a big fan of the art style but that's usually hit or miss with these games.

I've been working through West Of Loathing on switch. I'm enjoying it - it's starting to get a little repetitive maybe, but the writing and setting are a ton of fun. It's a good palette cleanser game - silly and easy and good to relax with.

On the opposite end of the relaxation spectrum, I recently also picked up Ring Fit Adventure for switch. It's definitely made me aware how fit I am. It's not so good for relaxing

AJ, are you a Kingdom of Loathing fan??

I'm assuming that is how you got into West of Loathing.

I've been a daily user since August of 2007.

A lot of War Frame on Switch. I also played it on a PC a bunch in the past but recently just on Switch. Everyone in my clan is lazy. No one will build anything lol. I tried but ran out of resources and no one will finish it. Oh well.

Nope sorry. I know the name but until now had no idea what it was.

I just look up games when Limited Run Games sell them and thought this one looked interesting.

Shenmue III on PS4

I have no time for games right now which makes me sad, but I am in the middle of

outer worlds (only got to play for an hour or so)
New super luckys tale on switch
Tayal (indie mega man clone)

Over the weekend, I completed my no powers, high chaos run in Dishonored. Once I do a ghost/clean hands run, I will have wrapped up the base game, though there are two expansions and a trials mode to complete.

I also started up two games, Descent 3 and Wasteland. I have no idea what I'm doing in Wasteland, and Descent 3 experiments with the story and level design of the series in ways that don't please me.
