GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm playing as Kassandra. I thought she looked cooler than dudeface.

Hey. New board.

I'm almost done with Jedi Fallen Order. I can definitely recommend it if you like exploring, challenging sword combat, or Star Wars. The combat challenge can be turned down to very easy if that's not your thing but I'm loving playing it on hard. Getting myself ready for Bloodborne.

Jedi Fallen Order is on my list of games to eventually pick up. I have enough backlog right now that I'm comfortable waiting for a Black Friday sale or a $20 GOTY Edition.

Still struggling with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. All it's really doing right now is making me want to play through Horizon Zero Dawn a third time.

Hey. New board.

Time to quit my friend.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...if you like exploring, challenging sword combat....

I had to quit the fencing/swordplay games in my Wii because I kept unconsciously advancing on my opponent and it was putting my TV at risk.

Hey. New board.

Haha, this isn't motion controls, but yeah. I wish there were switch fencing games, and real boxing games too, with motion controls, I'd play a motion controlled punch out every day.

Apparently Beatsaber (VR game) is the way to go for that feeling.

Heh.

I just got a few more games because I got suckered in by a Steam sale. It's hard to remember it's not really a 75% savings if I never get around to playing it.

Hey. New board.

I picked up Life is Strange and Disco Elysium in that.

Hey. New board.

I just played the first 5 minutes of disco Elysium mostly to test out GeForce Now (impressed so far) and damn that is a super compelling opening to a game.

I've played through Life is Strange 1 and enjoyed it a lot. It may depend on how irritating you or not you find a certain character though.
