Simply because I’m not running a blog doesn’t imply I’m not gaming. It simply means I’m not taking part in something price running a blog about. On this case, it appears the “recreation price running a blog about” drought goes to proceed for some time, so I would as nicely present I’m nonetheless alive by mentioning what I’m as much as currently.
Genshin Influence
Journey Rank 52 now, greater than midway to 53. I’ve performed quite a lot of the issues I stated I might do in my final put up, however I’m resin-gated or mora-gated for lots of the opposite stuff. For instance, Xiao and Sucrose share quite a lot of sources, plus I’m hoping to tug Venti, so Sucrose has been benched. And the quantity of mora it prices to lift abilities from stage 6 upwards is like whooaaaa. So I’m specializing in elevating artifacts and ranges to some extent first.
That stated, I’m not complaining an excessive amount of concerning the resin system, as a result of it makes it straightforward to suit Genshin Influence right into a busy schedule. You solely need to log in as soon as a day, much less should you use at some point to make condensed resin and one other to spend it. The reward for doing all of your day by day commissions is sufficiently small that it’s a-okay to skip them. So whereas I’m dissatisfied that Genshin Influence promised to be an open-world RPG however as a substitute turned a Romance Your Waifu Visible Novel with mini-games, I’ve so much on my plate IRL anyway, so I can wait until The Chasm comes out within the subsequent replace to get one other exploration repair. It’s going to return, proper, Mihoyo? Riiight?
Within the meantime, the occasions in replace 1.Four aren’t horrible. A minimum of they’re higher than the non-event Lantern Ceremony in 1.3. The pageant mini-games aren’t unhealthy both, although I’ve combined emotions concerning the simplicity. They’ve made it so that you simply simply have to play all of the mini-games a few times to get the reward. The busy real-life individual in me likes that, however the gamer in me needs there was extra of a reward to acing them. I perceive the will to keep away from driving poor performers away, however at the least there must be mora rewards for a better cumulative rating or one thing.
The Hangout occasions and the pageant occasion quests are a superb brief distraction as nicely. I’m not an excessive amount of into visible novels, however these don’t take lengthy to clear. Plus the NPCs in Mondstadt are nicer and extra acquainted than those in Liyue (besides Albert, brrr) so it’s not so unhealthy hanging out with them and serving to them. Actually, I actually don’t need this sort of occasion/VN/minigame fest to be what GI is all about, however since that’s all we’re getting for now, welp, I play it after I get the time.
Granblue Fantasy
I’m nonetheless kind of taking part in. The anniversary occasion simply ended, so I logged in repeatedly for all of the goodies. I bought 160 free sparks, so I added 140 and sparked an Europa spear. Simply didn’t hassle documenting it as a result of it was nearly all bronze/silver/gold moons. And even when I bought new characters, I wouldn’t actually use them. At Premium Gala I’ll spark a Pholia bow and in summer season I’ll spark Summer season Cagliostro, if I bear in mind to. New Granblue gamers, take coronary heart! Sooner or later you too shall be spark characters like Dio Brando eats bread. It can simply take… 4-5 years? One thing like that.
Anywayz, as I discussed a while in the past, I don’t really feel like grinding any extra for brand spanking new weapons, so my weapon grids are stagnant. However they’re sufficient to complete occasion bosses, and as for non-event grind fests like Tower of Babel and the Rising… factor… the one with the numerous gods like Suzaku… Yeah, I simply skip all these nowadays as a result of I don’t want them. So actually, I’m kind of taking part in however actually principally performed.
Rakuen Seikatsu Hitsujimura
My devoted browser recreation I’ve been taking part in since 2015, for these of you who assume my casualization solely started with Granblue Fantasy. I took a protracted break at one level as a result of the sport makes a speciality of breaking the hearts of free-to-play gamers, however I got here again as a result of I just like the aesthetics and easy gameplay. Plus when you absolutely perceive that you simply ain’t getting diddly as F2P, you make peace with actuality and simply benefit from the trip. It’s a bit unhappy to see how shortly new gamers that be part of my guild fizzle out, although.
I at all times imply to put up an replace about it, but it surely’s simply a kind of video games which are type of there. Nothing a lot to say about it, however right here’s 1 / 4 of my present farm:
That is the one patch I truly use for farming and ranching. The remaining is crammed with homes, pets, gadgets, assorted clickables and treasures, and so forth. I continuously want extra space, however in fact for an F2P to get even the tiniest patch of land is an ordeal. Have I discussed that I like this recreation? 🤣🤣🤣 Man vs. Recreation Developer, the last word problem.
Ray Gigant
Just some extra months to go earlier than Expertise Inc. releases Yomi wo Saku Hana, their newest dungeon crawling extravangza. Whereas I’m ready, I assumed I’d compensate for their different dungeon crawlers I hadn’t completed. Proper now it’s simply Ray Gigant, Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy and Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy. Abyss I’ve performed sufficient of. Babel I’ve by no means tried. Ray Gigant I attempted earlier and it was a reasonably insipid expertise. Nevertheless I didn’t drop it as a result of I hated it however as a result of I misplaced my save for some motive I can’t bear in mind.
I restarted it just lately and performed for about an hour. I’m planning to strive the technique the place you give the MC in every chapter all the good things and ignore the hangers-on. Possibly that may make issues a bit sooner and more difficult in a really pedestrian recreation. I’ll report on it if/after I go the world I reached final time.
Joyful Coloration
My newest obsession isn’t even a recreation. It’s a paint-by-numbers app. Like, not even a coloring app with creativity concerned. Simply see quantity, paint quantity, see quantity, paint quantity. Each infrequently they cover a tiny splotch of colour in an obscure space to attempt to trick you into watching advertisements for hints. No have to fall for it, although. Simply save the pic and proceed later, and the unfinished space will simply come out at you the subsequent time you load. Human brains are humorous like that.
Why did I “play” this for Three hours yesterday, at the least 2 hours the day earlier than and numerous hours prior to now month when I’ve so many AAA video games in my backlog? If conventional recreation firms knew the reply, they wouldn’t have misplaced a lot floor to cellular gaming, now would they? The sincere reality is i simply need to calm down generally. No, quite a lot of the time. Video games require an excessive amount of headspace. They’re good, however generally I simply need to take a look at fairly colours and zone out.
And with that, all of the issues I’m as much as after I’m not running a blog. Subsequent replace will most likely be about Ray Gigant, since speaking about it has made me need to play it. After that… we’ll see.
