Laugh if you want I have been playing for over a year ACNH. It's enjoyable. I have a new ACNH edition Switch. Had been using a Lite but my wife surprised me with it. Does anyone else play? My island is 5 stars. if anyone plays send me a DM and I will send you my SW number.
Got a tip for us?

I'm playing Jedi Fallen Order, and its been an enjoyable game. I've long wanted to play it, but for unknown reasons when I sit down at my Xbox, I do something else.
Elden Ring is extremely fun.
I haven't played the souls games, so a bit out of my depth but put in 7 hours today, which is a bit extreme for me.
A lot to explore, and lots of deaths to be had.
Got some semi-reasonable gear, and a few extra levels on me now, so am able to go back and seek revenge.
Playing on PS4 Pro, and don't have any complaints at all. Seems like all the problems are on PC.

I never got around to trying that one but it's in the queue. I'm glad they made a PS5 upgrade for it.

That's one thing that really made it appealing to me. A boss that is making you miserable isn't a gatekeeper that keeps you from playing. You can go explore other places and get stronger and then come back.
That might be a blessing in disguise! I keep killing things without taking a hit, then wasting a heal, because the heal button in Elden Ring was the loot button in Sekiro!
That is a nightmare when your brain is so wired to a button action like that and you switch to a new game that's different.
Playing Elden Ring currently...coming from souls games, I feel right at home but it also has a different feel to it, too. I love the dedicated jump button, the characters and NPC's, the sneaking elements, etc. The multiplayer aspect is a GREAT! Not going to spoil it for people who haven't played it yet, but imagine you and two others ganging up on a BIG enemy who puts up a huge fight you probably won't win the first few times around. The landscapes and the settings are really cool too, completely different compared to the dark and evil souls settings. This world so far is lush and alive. Imagine if you took dark/demons souls characters and put them in the Zelda breath of the wild world.
I don't think I would have made it through some of the bosses in Demon's Souls without nice ghosts helping me! 😭
Can anyone tell me how the summoning pools work? There's the 'classic' method of putting down a sign and having someone summon you, but there's also a new system. I can use the Small Golden Effigy to basically say "I'm willing to randomly join a group and help" but how do you do the opposite and 'host' one? In other words, how do you say "I'm looking for players to join my group"?
Edit: It turns out that the Small Golden Effigy places your sign at (nearby?) activated pools. So hosting a 'random' player is the same as hosting a 'signed' player.

GTA V (Again and again and again for like the umpteenth time.)
You know after playing this game and probably investing well over ~600 hours over the years, GTA V was ahead of it’s time. From driving the likes of a ‘Mini Cooper’, they nailed the engine sounds with the supercharger whine or even the dynamic of hearing the transmission shift points is really well executed. Those are just two of the minor details that I could talk about for hours that Rockstar created something so successful with this game, it still is generating money today for obvious reasons, and almost 10 years later. That’s pretty insane and I look forward to the PS5 patch within the next three weeks.

While playing FC6, I almost felt like I was playing a FPS version of Just Cause 4.
You know, I actually purchased ‘Just Cause 4’ when it released Christmas years ago, and I thought it was a gorgeous game, but the gameplay itself was absolute garbage. And even though FC6 isn’t necessarily terrible with the gameplay, it’s degraded significantly, even though it’s graphically stunning. But as a true gamer, graphics isn’t enough anymore, especially when developers are under an intense amount of scrutiny for the titles they’re releasing with how expensive games are at $65. That bar just keeps getting higher and higher every year.
It’s better than the hype makes it out to be. My favorite game ever.
You’ll change your mind after you get to Caelis. Stumbled into there for some reason and noped it right out. Place is nightmare fuel and hard af.
Last night I stumbled into some elevator that took me down some "well". I usually do a phantom sign to help someone else and then it lets me scout the new area without worrying myself dying lol. The creatures were ridiculously tough, I went right back up that elevator lol! And tonight I found some warp mirror thing at the end of a river, I decided to jump through the portal and next thing you know I'm in some barren scorched earth behind some massive buzzard...NOPE! Snuck away and quickly zapped back to a grace pit!
I know the one you're talking about. Bizarrely he didn't seem interested in me... at first. I came back half an hour later and he charged at me!
The little guys in front of him were great. They weren't overly challenging and they gave around 40% of a level each.
I'm continuing with the Jedi Fallen Order and its ok (just ok, not great not bad). Its not a game that fully sucked me in, some games I can play for hours, this one holds my interest for maybe 20 minutes. I tend to do one quest and that's about it - I tire of the mechanics and repetitive nature of the game.
That was exactly how I felt playing it. the graphics were awesome but I just never felt sucked into the game.
I booted up Far Cry 4 again since I never actually beat Pagin Min, so am trying to finish that. Thinking of playing a renegade femshep run through of Mass Effect.
Finally completed 1st season battle pass on Halo Infinite. Annoyed how the store / 343 industries is pricing out certain cosmetics and leaving some not even available. Hoping season 2 is better even with more delays.
Waiting for updated GTA V online for series X.

I‘m 50 hrs into Horizon Forbidden West and I’m loving it. Love the new combat options/styles. There is something satisfying about sticking your spear in a giant robot, do a backflip from it and shoot an exploding arrow in it.
I'm playing Elden Ring & dabbling in a bit of Gran Turismo 7 at the moment, with dashes of Destiny 2 thrown in.
Elden Ring is absolutely fantastic. It's my first ever Souls type game so I've gone in completely blind with absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm enjoying getting beaten up by everything and then going back later and destroying it. Have beaten the 2nd boss now and done some more exploring, and I can see myself having a LOT of hours in this game. Started one character and did 10 hours, then two friends bought the game so I restarted and chose a different character. Now 17 hours in on that one. I 100% recommend the game if you're after a challenge, even if you've never played a Souls game before.
