Finished Chatper 10 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition !

Now doing side missions etc to level up for chapter 11. I noticed my play time is about 70 hours. Didn't realise that I have played this much. It feels like I should be still be around 30 hours or so. Which shows that even with all the complaints I had about the game, I am still enjoying it so much that I didn't notice the time.

Played some more Marvel's Midnight Suns.

I recall reading interview of the Firaxis guys (forgot their name) about how they wanted the people to play aggressively and that's why they added timer in X-Com 2. If you don't clear the mission in that time, some very strong enemies join the battle.

Midnight Suns fortunately doesn't have that, but each turn enemy get reinforcements. They are all one-hit kill, but when you have only 3 attack (some cards give you free attack if you kill in one hit), it means you have to be aggressively attack all the other enemies, or you will just keep fighting until you die.

Not a big fan of this, but it is much better than the X-Com 2 solution, IMO, which gave me too much pressure and I wasn't able to enjoy the game. This is not too big of a deal here, but still a slight annoyance.

Also played some more Ghost of Tsushima.

Just slowly exploring the second area and clearing territories and anything I come across.

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

Mario Kart World! A friend showed me his “walking into Super Nintendo World at Epic” video and I realized that what I’ve been calling Mario Kart 8 2 might be attached to a broader naming scheme. Isn’t the next Mario movie called Super Mario World? I ran my first 100 CC race and won by the skin of my teeth. I can’t imagine I’ll find much success in 150 CC.

I have not been back to Xenoblade Chronicles X this week. I finished the first part of chapter 13, but my first full week of summer vacation has been focused on the taxi dad game.

I have spared a lot of time for Picross S 8. It’s such a wonderful way to listen to podcasts for a person who can’t normally multitask. I’m more than half done, but the puzzles I could complete in five minutes or less are in the rear view mirror now.

I checked out Robotics;dash Elite form the library again and gave it about an hour. I LOVE Steins;gate, but it’s been hard getting into other visual novels in the Science Adventure Series. Maybe I’m just not in a reading mood lately.

I checked out It’s A Wonderful World from the library and played it with my older child. It was a little bland and I lost pretty badly (just like the first time I played). I bought a tetromino game called Square One. It was over so quickly and very theme-less. I liked it a little, but I won’t be able to get is to the table again soon, I bet.

Finally, the game getting the most play is Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent. It’s the third anniversary (or maybe 4th), so there’s a lot of new stuff around. I’m still dodging the story for other bits. As long as it’s fun, it’s fine.

lol at Taxi dad, unless it's an actual game and I misunderstood.

Forgot to mention, but I played Bejeweled with kids this week. It's a fun card game, not too much depth, but fun for a quick game or two.

SciAdv VNs are very different from each other, liking some of them but not others is fairly common. And as much as as love Robotics;Notes that one is a very slow burn, it's mostly a slice-of-life story with some mystery and sci-fi sprinkled on.
