Hey, time for that monthly journal again.

Today's topic; game

I admit I'm very... very picky about what games I pour my time into. I'm not a fan of anything frustrating or heavily competitive focused (especially online, ranked games are a scary place). I'm very casual. This doesn't mean I'm afraid of a little challenge, I just prefer turning up the heat once I'm comfortable and not logging in so 20k hour harry can rip me a new one.

RECENTLY I've picked up a few new toys. Raccoin came out at the end of march so I've been enjoying that but otherwise I'm getting a taste of Helldivers. Both are good!

I've been craving a coin pusher game for quite some time because the best available are usually mobile games or just... not very interesting. Raccoin offers a lot in terms of tooling around since its a rogue-like but most importantly... you can push the game hard. REALLY hard. Arador has a pretty good example of this (how fitting for a sometimes astronomically massive dragon thing) and it's straight crack. I'm not really into the E100s but I trust I'll get there with enough goofing around.

Helldivers is good too! I like COD Zombies and L4D, so Helldivers rolls with me very nicely, even on higher difficulties. It almost gives off the vibes of a party game with the ridiculous shit that can happens sometimes (and the occasional unfavorable scenarios) and barely takes itself seriously so... yeah. Good game.


But... lets talk the meat and potatoes. The Big One. The big thing that I got my eyes on is that some poor soul is working on a port of Minecraft Legacy Console Edition for the 3DS. If you don't know, the ACTUAL Minecraft 3DS Edition is garbage, with comically low render distance, crippling lag, a FORCED AUTOSAVE and many... MANY bugs. For being a port of "Bedrock" it isn't very firm. To top it all off 3DS Edition doesn't have 3D... and never got an update that supported it, since Microsoft axed it around release 1.9.

This port offers not only decent performance but actual 3D! How it will perform on release is up in the air but I'm hopeful of it being a breath of fresh air compared to a really meh Pocket Edition port.
