Played Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Made some progress, cleared a major area, Now in the second last area, though the last area is supposed to be pretty big, so there's still some game left.

Also played lots of Tom Clancy's The Division. Leveled up a couple of times, plan to do the next main quest this weekend and continue cleaning up the side stuff.

Started Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, it's a fun 3D platformer, though sometimes aiming can be a bit annoying. It doesn't matter most of the time, but had some trouble because of that during a boss fight, as you have to paint specific parts of the boss.

Other than that, game feels polished, and some design elements feel a bit dated, but overall it still feels fun. It could be my nostalgia speaking though.

No Pokémon Pokopia this week. Will start getting back to doing little stuff here and there this week.

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

Mostly Monster Hunter Wilds this week. I've been grinding for gold crowns, which I have never done in another game before. I can't explain why I'm doing this, some bug just bit me and made me do it.

In Fallout 3, I've done everything in the metro maze I've been wanting to do for now. I'll still have to go through one soon, but what matters is that I'm back in the actual world!

Speaking of being bitten by weird bugs, I've been wanting to play Mario Kart World again for no apparent reason. I haven't done it yet, but it's on the table...

What are gold crowns? Armour headpiece?

Heh, Mario Kart World isn't bad, though I haven't' played much of it either. I probably haven't even played all tracks yet. Should definitely do that.

Silver and gold crowns are markers for a monster's size. Especially large and small monsters are marked with these crowns in the compendium, which has been a stable in the series for a very long time. It doesn't give you anything except an achievement, but it's also much easier to do in Wilds. Previously, you learned a monster's size after you hunt it. In Wilds you have binoculars that reveal this information beforehand, so you can just quickly check every monster in the area.

It took me like 7 years to get the crowns in World, Rise was much quicker. Sadly I burned out after a couple hundred hours of Wilds, the Gold and Miniature crowns are the only achievements I have left. I jump in once a month or so for a few hunts and don't enjoy myself all that much, hopefully once the expansion drops I can get back into it properly. I love the games so much, I just get to a point where I'd rather do anything than actually go on a hunt.
