Broke my streak of finishing one chapter per week in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

Spent most of the time surveying Noctilum to reach 20% mark, finally did it. Also completed couple of affinity quests in the meanwhile.

Affinity quest

How is Murderess still a blade?

Started Chapter 6. About to reach the place where the quest is. Wonder how long it will take.

The second area was pretty big in The Surge. Cleared that, and reached the 3rd Area.

Nothing new to say about it. Have been playing with one-handed weapon, but just got a staff that seems good, but I am level 13 with one-handed weapon and would have to start with 0 proficiency with staff. I guess I'll just stick with one-handed one...

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I'm nearing the end of current content in Monster Hunter Wilds. The current Arch-Tempered Rey Dau event kicked my butt quite badly. It was the first time I actually had to truly learn a monster's patterns and tells, but now I can beat him without carting. I only have HR Zoh Shia left and I have heard enough tales to not rush into that one. I'm gonna fully upgrade my armor first.

Brothership is still happening. Every now and then. Not as much as I would like, but with Monster Hunter going into a pure grinding phase, I'll have more time.

And when I only have a little time, I go back to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. I've had the main game beaten for a while, but there's still plenty to do on the huge achievement list, which really adds to a game lime this. I even found myself hitting the difficult speedrun times. I wasn't going to try those very hard, but at least for the first two levels, they were doable.

Occasionally, I've also been playing the 1994 CD-Rom version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, a childhood game I have been trying to find for 30 years. It wasn't hard to find per se, those old Carmen Sandiego games are all abandonedware at this point, but good luck getting a modern PC to understand a 90s CD-Rom! The best I could do in the past was a DOS version, which just wasn't the same without music and voice acting. But I finally found the 'VileBox', which is a fan-compiled collection of all old Carmen Sandiego games that just works! That nostalgia hit pretty hard~

Good luck with your armour and Zoh Shia!

Any plans on what to start next? Or going to worry about it after finishing MH Wilds and Brothership?

I know what to follow up with on the Switch-side, since there's really not much left for me there. My backlog on PC is much bigger and whatever I feel like playing now is probably not what I want in a week, so I try not to think about it. Monster Hunter has no real end in sight anyway. I'll grind away slowly, a bit every other day to not grow rusty for whatever nightmare gets added next, so I probably won't start anything with too much depth.

Makes sense. Generally I am similiar, once my current game finishes, go through names in my backlog oldest to newest and get the game that I feel like playing.
