What are you playing this weekend/these days?


I just completed Heavy Rain, a serial-killer detective game from 2010. I am very impressed with the art direction, high detail (at 720p) and overall story. The vibe is nice and rainy. Throughout the game you have to make quick button presses and controller motions which determine how the story progresses. The way the characters walk is a bit clunky and some have far off looks in their eyes that could be simplistic programming or intentionally psychotic. There are likeable characters, plot twists and everyone died in the end, at least for me. I found it relaxing but never boring or tedious due to the quick pace of scenes. It's from Paris based studio Quantic Dream which had some sexual harassment scandals, and I believe it, a few females in this game are quite alluring. Contrary to dudes walking they put quite a bit of effort into hips swaying, etc.

Perfect timing because Metroid Prime 4 was released today.

I said I would buy a Switch for the new Metroid. But I guess I'll wait until there's a Switch 3.

Been playing The Incredible Machine 2. Currently stumped by this puzzle here. I may need to consult a walkthrough as I've spent hours on this one.

Edit: I did it, but in a way that was not intended I think. Oh well. Looks like the hard puzzles rely more and more on pixel perfect arrangement than on just logic. Also ran into a few bugs in both the Windows and DOS versions like physics behaving incorrectly or e.g. not being able to connect belts to conveyors. Those would fix itself after reloading the level, but still annoying, especially the physics thing. How would you know that a thing should be propelled a bit further than what you're looking at.

Some how many people played The Incredible Machine as a kid. There is a modern version but it captured me less than the classic one.
 
I did beat yesterday another Cup in Mario Kart World, its still a quite nice looking Mario Kart Game, even though i miss a bit this Zero Grafity Tracks, but for them i have Mario Kart 8 still for Switch and the WiiU Version of Mario Kart 8 on the AYN Thor ^^
Speaking of Thor: i did not play anything on Weekend on it, just did finish Redownloading Steamgames because i did delete per accidend them last week ..

Im also did beat an Dungeon in Hoghwarts Legacy, i know i should not play this Game as its was based on the Books of an quite awefull Terf, but the Game itself dont have that much too do whit the Harry Potter Stuff, expect its in its Magical World, but plays 100 Years bevor ..
I also think HL dont need to be based in the HP Universe, if it where an Random Magic Shool and the Spells would have other Names it where not an HP Game ^^
 
I did write awefull terf, not awesome writer, shure i did enjoy the HP Books back then also, it was a cool Fantasy Universe back then, an Average British Boy finds out he is a Wizzard, and there is a whole Parallel Universe beside the normal World whit magical Animals, and weird stuff..
Its still a cool Story, but unfortunally Rowling used her Money she got for the Books and Licences to fight against Trans Rights..

An Autor who made Books about Peaple who where different fight against Trans Rights is something quite strange ..

I will start this afternoon whit Farming Sim 25 Signature Edition on Switch2, this Game dont have the Background like Hogwarts Legacy..
 
I play "LLM, give me Japanes sentences written only using kana and put spaces before particles", then I transcribe them and have LLM check for errors. It's still exhausting, but it feels good getting better at it.

What exactly are you laughing about loud?
Are you on board with calling XX chromosome humans women and XY chromosome humans men?

Some people have XY chromosome but due to Swyer syndrome will be born with a vulva and a female phenotype. They'll generally be raised as girls. When they reach puberty age, they will not have puberty and this is often when it will be discovered that they have XY chromosome.
Up to that point, they, and everyone around them, will always have considered that they were a girl.

Do you suddenly call them a man because it's been discovered that they have XY chromosome?
 
Whe have lots of Genders, and Peaple are different, some are born as Woman but where lot more happy as Man, and the other way around, but its an personal thing, and nothing that could bother an Multi Million Pount Fantasy Autrix who did 8 Books which where quite hyped in the 1990tes..

I did play yesterday some Farming Simulator 25 Signatur Edition on Nintendo Switch2, and even though it whas not that bad, i think i will pause it now until Giants releases an big Patch, and better play Farming Simulator 22 on AYN Thor as this Version got all the goodies of the PC Version (as its the PC Version), whit Mirrors, Mods, Streaming Radio, etc..
 
IDC about people cross-dressing or having super rare diseases. I care about children's puberties being disrupted as well as bodies mutilated, and I have a problem with men in women's sports/dressing rooms/toilets/prisons. I care about behaviour that started spreading with influencers and rainbow flag worship. And I abhor leftists targeting people for not agreeing with their ideology. BTW Tim Pool's house has been shot a few days ago...

Still playing TIM2. Arrived at the very hard levels today. It's getting crazy. Also downloaded Red Alert 2 after noticing I had it sitting in my EA account. Can't remember playing this at all, looking forward to giving that a try.

I still play RA2 with Yuri's Revenge. Skirmish with some random map is still fun. There is also an unofficial patch with a new faction. Haven't tried that one yet.
EA got RA2 patched so it runs okay on Win10/Win11.
