Hello Everyone!
Time for another update on our gaming progress!
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there’s still a lot to find.
I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn’t went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven’t played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.
In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.
Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.
That’s all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I’m still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I’m “only” 40 hours into the game.
Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don’t even realize how much time I have put into it.
More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.

65 hours in and I’m the same 😆
Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.
I’m waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK
Just checked out Unsighted, looks pretty good, went to add it to my wishlist and it was already there 😀 I don’t even remember when I added it. How are you enjoying it?
If you are playing BOTW too, I would suggest not jumping in TotK right away, it can cause burn out, but if you weren’t playing that should be fine.
I beat BotK, I played that shit endlessly on release.
And unsighted is good! It’s simpler but excellent. It’s worth it
ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.
Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I’m juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.
TotK is just as fun doing the main quest, as it’s not doing the main quest. Though right now I am really excited about the story and want to know more.
Good luck with FF7R-I, are you looking forward to playing the the second part coming next year?
I’ve taken a step back from gaming this week. It was a busy one.
Still, I’m making pretty good progress on totk. Great game.
I got a 4070 for my birthday. So I tore my whole PC apart to dust out every nook and cranny. It replaced an R9 290. Other specs: 24 GB DDR3, i7-4790K running on Z97, 1 TB NVMe SSD and 8 TB HDD (I don’t mind a loading screen)
I previously had 4 3,000 RPM server fans keeping it cool because I was running dual R9 290s in the thing air cooled. When you have two 94° cards, there’s a ton of hot air coming from the thing. It’ll heat a room quite effectively.
I’m down to a single 140mm 700 RPM fan in back and a single 120mm 800-2000 RPM fan in front. It’s gone from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to near silent. And in testing, my GPU never hits 70°. My 290 ran 85-90 playing Wind Waker with Hypatia’s HD texture pack. My 4070 doesn’t even get to 50° after an hour of play. And my intake fan doesn’t even have to ramp up. It’s so nice having a quiet PC again.
It’s gonna be pushing 100°F outside this weekend so I’ll be staying inside and hiding from the weather. Maybe I’ll mow on Monday morning since it’s supposed to be a lot cooler. Need to replace my busted garbage disposal. But when I’m not doing those things, I’ll probably STILL be playing Tears. I think I’m up to 70 hours.
Wow, I didn’t understood most of what you said, except, you got a better GPU and what was quite a load for previous one, is nothing for this one. And your PC is quieter because of that.
That sounds great. Congratulations on your new gear. Are you planning to play something to test the limits? Something that will make it scream too?
Good luck hiding from the weather and playing more TotK!
I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.
How far along are you in TotK?
And good luck with Gimmighoul and Chesnaught!
After 100 hours I’ve completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I’ve just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.
Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.
Wow, 100 hours and just 2 temples, you are doing some real exploration.
Most of the time I end up getting lost in the world chasing a shrine or some landmark
Haha, that’s the real fun of the game.
Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that
Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.
How did you like them both?
Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.
Prepare to die a lot in both.
Mario party for switch.
Which one? Aren’t there two of them?
And how are you liking them? I saw mixed comments about them on reddit when they were released. I am not much into party games, so didn’t check in detail.
Found this hidden gem (for me at least) “Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon” really like this game.
Have been thinking to try out other Bayonetta’s too, even thought they are different style of games.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a hidden gem, but I haven’t seen many people play it. How are you liking the game.
I am in the opposite boat, I have played the other Bayonetta (thought only the first one) but not the Cereza and the Lost Demon.
I first tried the demo of the game. Didnt expect to like it, but found myself really enjoying the art style and specially story. Havent finished the game yet, sadly I dont have as much time to playing games as I use to.

Happens to all of us, don’t worry about it.
I’ll give the demo a try, once I have gone through Bayonetta 2 and 3. Thanks for the heads up.
I think I’ve decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn’t get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it’ll be nice to focus on that for a bit.
I am VERY excited for the DLC. It was very tough to decide between that or TotK. I really love Xenoblade series, and XC3 is my favourite, and now to get a DLC bringing together all the games…
I am not going to get it before finishing TotK though. I would be distracted between both games. So, going to finish TotK and then get the DLC.
Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.
I’m about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I’m definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.
Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.
Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I’ll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.
I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower
A wide range of games!
It’s nice to keep the backlog short, just don’t force yourself to play anything, that burns you out.
I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try… The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I’ll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.
Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing ‘I am going to finish it soon, it’s almost the end’ and then the end didn’t happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!
Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!
What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?
Still playing Tears of The Kingdom myself, 225 hours in I have one last temple and a few side quests here and there so I’m almost done with it and I have no idea what I’ll be doing next lol.
Wow, 225 hours is a long time. Respect!
I’ve paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I’ll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time…
Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.
What have you been playing after pausing TotK?
Yeah, it’s a big game, would need some dedication if you want to finish it anytime soon. That being said, you don’t have to finish it anytime soon, just play at your own pace, and enjoy.
I have heard great things about Rise, if I end up playing significant amount of MH: World, will give Rise a try too.
Yeah unfortunately I really didn’t have the time necessary to immerse myself in Zelda. Playing in small bursts was starting to feel annoying, so I just quit for a bit. Now that I have a little more time I’m picking it up again. I’m not complaining too much tho, the longer it lasts the better - although I may have to make a tough decision if I don’t finish it before Pikmin comes out.
What have you been playing after pausing TotK?
I have been playing some Disgaea 1 on PC. It’s a series I’ve always been curious about and tbh it required me a lot less attention than Zelda. So it was a good distraction.
