I’m gonna start a weekly Sunday evening thread where we all talk about what we’ve been playing the past week.

I have been doing a replay of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. It’s one of my favorite games and I was surprised how much muscle memory Ive retained for most of the major boss fights.

    Doing another Rimworld dip with the new DLC out. Naturally, haven’t touched that at all yet, but I finally realized how absolutely piss-easy it is to pirate the DLCs and still use the workshop, so I’m enjoying an even more streamlined process of modding it until it takes ten minutes to boot.

    My current run is a monastery of pantheistic star-worshippers and I’m just taking it real easy and focusing on the architecture. Monasteries are actually a great pattern for a rimworld base, because they’re already kind of defensible compounds with lots of different rooms next to each other.

      Been playing Rimworld for the last week too. Yeah, given how rediculous the pricing is and how easy it is to pirate DLCs, I’m also rocking the base game + pirated DLC combo.

      (For those who don’t know, download a pirated copy of the latest version, copy over the DLCs in the data folder, edit out the line with SteamID in each of the DLC’s about.xml)

      Thoughts on the new DLC? I’m not too interested in the theme so I haven’t bothered to pirate it yet. Watched a playthrough, seems like something you either commit a run into it or not touch it at all. It’s like a story DLC instead of a gameplay mechanics focused one.

        My main thoughts on the DLC so far are that having another large object spawn on the map is kinda annoying and that the title screen lady looks nice. I haven’t really messed with it at all or looked at what it does beyond a glance at the steam page. I’m kinda hoping that I can kind of experience all that stuff organically or not. Had some weird zombies show up once who didn’t do much Also there are books now, not sure if that’s part of the update or the dlc, but it’s neat. It’s hard to tell what’s mods and not, but I think the UI got a bit of an upgrade too.
