I'm still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I'm "only" 40 hours into the game.

More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.
a high level of avoiding the main questline
65 hours in and I'm the same 😆
I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.
Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.
I'm waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK
ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.
Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I'm juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.
Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that
Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.
How did you like them both?
Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.
Prepare to die a lot in both.
I've taken a step back from gaming this week. It was a busy one.
Still, I'm making pretty good progress on totk. Great game.
I got a 4070 for my birthday. So I tore my whole PC apart to dust out every nook and cranny. It replaced an R9 290. Other specs: 24 GB DDR3, i7-4790K running on Z97, 1 TB NVMe SSD and 8 TB HDD (I don't mind a loading screen)
I previously had 4 3,000 RPM server fans keeping it cool because I was running dual R9 290s in the thing air cooled. When you have two 94° cards, there's a ton of hot air coming from the thing. It'll heat a room quite effectively.
I'm down to a single 140mm 700 RPM fan in back and a single 120mm 800-2000 RPM fan in front. It's gone from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to near silent. And in testing, my GPU never hits 70°. My 290 ran 85-90 playing Wind Waker with Hypatia's HD texture pack. My 4070 doesn't even get to 50° after an hour of play. And my intake fan doesn't even have to ramp up. It's so nice having a quiet PC again.
It's gonna be pushing 100°F outside this weekend so I'll be staying inside and hiding from the weather. Maybe I'll mow on Monday morning since it's supposed to be a lot cooler. Need to replace my busted garbage disposal. But when I'm not doing those things, I'll probably STILL be playing Tears. I think I'm up to 70 hours.
Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.
I'm about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I'm definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.
Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.
Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I'll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.
I think I've decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn't get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it'll be nice to focus on that for a bit.
I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try... The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I'll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.
Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing 'I am going to finish it soon, it's almost the end' and then the end didn't happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!
Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!
What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?
I have TOTK to play, but I don't have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I'll play either.
I've been playing mostly Tears of the Kingdom and Fallout 76
How are you liking Fallout 76? I am a big Fallout fan, but after the abysmal 76 launch, and all the memes, I have stayed away from it.
Have the improved the game? And how's the gameplay now?
I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!
I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.
I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!
I am also playing zelda, but been jumping back and forth between it and Pokemon snap 64
How are you enjoying both games? And how far along are you in Zelda?
Also, if you care about it, someone recently created a community for sharing "snaps" from Pokemon Snap. https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] (Making a relative link doesn't seem to be working at my end for some reason, so just shared the direct link)
TOTK if I have the time. By far the best game I've played since BOTW.
I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.
I'm moving four hours across the country but I've been playing paper Mario 64 again on nso and having a blast. Basically killing time waiting for pikmin 4 !
Road Trip! Have fun!
Tears. I play games for a long time, so it’ll be another couple months with it.
Played a lot of Mr. Suns Hat Box until I ran into a bug that sometimes spawns an invisible wall art the start of some levels. Since the invisible wall is effectively a death sentence for the character, and most of the game is playing with the risk/reward of character building, I'm just done with it.
I've also been enjoying Mini Motor Racing X. It's a fantastic port.
I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower
More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.
Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.
Pokémon Sword, surprisingly enough! Still have some Dynamax Adventures to wrap up. Aside from that, I'll probably sweep my SV raids to see if I can land a shiny Gimmighoul, then go back to TotK.
Still playing Tears of The Kingdom myself, 225 hours in I have one last temple and a few side quests here and there so I'm almost done with it and I have no idea what I'll be doing next lol.
I've been playing TotK since release, and it finally feels like I'm approaching the end of the main quest. I'm not quite ready to be done yet, though: I wanna at least complete all shrines!
splatoon 3 and Trails to Zero
Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.
I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...
Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.
