I used to happily play them, but now really hate those long scenario, big ass map, turn based strategy game. Great recipe for wasting hours of progress. You never know how good you're doing until you fail (and that is often after 1 or 2 hours of stuff).
Meanwhile, completed the build of my Crusader 100%. Completed GR 76 with only 7 minutes, but I decided to take a break from the game. Or may be play the Wizard.

The Double Fine remasters (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango) all are a little better, because they are mostly just higher-res versions of the old art. They also give the flexibility to combine the different interfaces in just the way the player likes. I still use the original art as a rule, because otherwise it feels like colorizing a black and white movie. But it's still pretty respectful.
The Monkey Island remasters though really change the look of the originals. The character models look really different, and have a lot less warmth. Not only that but the new interface on the first game especially is kind of garbage. You're better off just sticking with the old verb menu from the original game. The sequel is a bit better and more flexible, but it's still not great.

I'm playing No More Heroes and enjoying it. The new Switch Travis Touchdown had me intrigued so I'm going back to play the originals. The complaints about the new Switch game seem to apply almost identically to the first game (repetitive; lots of beat-em-up characters you basically walk through), but I'm enjoying it like popcorn.

Finished Mega Man 11- I think it is up there with 2 and 3. It may be a little too easy though.

Emily and i finished OverCooked on the weekend and have only one level left to 3-star! She's a real champ and I find myself yelling more at myself than anything. We've found some cool ways to cooperate so I'm sure we'll buy the 2nd one. She even wants to play Versus now, my little competitive angel
Getting into CRAVE has completely killed my video game appetite which was already diminishing due to being overwhelmed by Red Dead Redemption 2.
Maybe I should buy Resident Evil 2 later this year, I'm sure that would do it.

Yeah, the name sounds like some kind of dancing game.

Also the only guy with a Throbbing Gristle lightning bolt shoulder patch in the game.
Diablo season 16(?) is still rolling and I'm stuck getting my class set. I think I can just craft one but haven't checked it out. This is the point where I usually get burnt out but we'll see.

- 3 person squads
- currently no solo play
- in-game context-sensitive communication is FANTASTIC. Call out gear, enemies, etc. with a click of the mouse wheel
- combat / weapons straight out of Titanfall 2
- heroes like Overwatch
- the "hot spot" of the map changes every round
- I actually saw my murderer, every time
- dead teammates can actually be brought back with effort
- Sadly, there is currently no wall running, or Titans

Moreover, they split the world into 4 (?) different worlds, instead of starting in the exact same part of the bigger world every time. They also made the worlds circular. I cannot tell you how much being able to go off on different spokes rather than a grinding linear trip east to west every single trip makes for the game.
So that means you can do the fun stuff I was never able to do in Seas---buy new equipment, think about buying a new ship, buy some of the pricier goods to trade.
So I recommend it quite a bit, they fixed my problems with the game and the writing is still fun. It's an excellent pick and deliver and exploration game with tons of well written missions and locations.
