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 bug, 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.

No wonder, TIM was even installed on school computers.

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.
