No change from my side.

Playing Trails in the Sky: SC as my main game, made quite a headway in chapter two, should be nearing the end of it, but still couple of side quests remaining. It's still early game though, so going to take me couple of months.

Played a little bit of Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, game has opened quite a bit, still enjoying it, but not much to say about it yet.

Dust: An Elysian Tale, turned out to be a much smaller game than I expected. I think I played 3-4 hours of it, and according to saves, I am at around 45%. Don't know how it calculates the percentage, it's possible I may end the game even before 100%, let's see.

Couple of thing I found interesting in the game. You can find either equipment or their blueprint as a loot. If you find blueprint, you need looted material to craft it. You can also buy the material, but in start shops only have 4-5 materials, so you have to first sell at least one of each material before it will start getting stocked in shops.

Another interesting thing is leveling up stats. There are 4 different stats. Attack, Defense, "Magic" and Health. And your max stat can't be more than 4 level higher than your lowest stat. So you can't just put everything in attack or defense.

My one big complaint is saves though, you can only save at specific points, and while save points are abundant, there are certain parts where you can die easily and once you do you have to load a previous save.

It's a decade old game though, so I guess this can be forgiven.

That's all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing

Yeah, gaming on Linux is soooo much better than what it used to! That's also why I switched from GOG to Steam (even though I wasn't actually buying games on PC then), could only fight one battle, and as someone who only used Linux, Linux support was much more important than DRM free games.

My son just made me download Injustice: Gods Among Us on PS. Had it from PS+ monthly games ages ago. Have just downloaded it, haven't even played a single match. Who do you play with mostly? I just use any random character, my son uses Swamp Thing though.

I bought Halo: MC collection a while back, but my old laptop wasn't all that great, also, you don't get Xbox achievements when playing on Linux (due to easy anti-cheat thingy), but plan to finally play it now (got a new laptop with RTX 4070!). Need to finish Trails in the Sky: SC first though. Want to play from the first game though.

GOG games I've been having a harder time making them work. At least the Mortal Kombtas on fullscreen mode, I'll eventually figure that out.

I play random characters on Injustice too. I had it on the Wii U and I think I did the whole story mode there, but it's been a while.

Let me know what you think once you play Halo. The first one at least was fun for me. I never played multiplayer though, I think that was the main thing back in the day? I'll see how far I get on the first one before I move on to the second one...

Sure. I never really had an Xbox, so want to play all their exclusives. Don't care about multiplayer though, just want to play the campaigns and checkout the story.

Will let you know how I like it when I do.
