Spiderman: Miles Morales on PS5 - really enjoyed PS4 Spiderman and this is as much fun. Warblade - have always and will always love this game, a true masterpiece of retrogaming with depth. |

More I play Kerbal Space Program, more I like it. I learned quite few things about space exploration that I did not know previously. Always was under impression that similar to Elite - point craft in direction and fly there - space is more about what do you orbit and how to change orbit from one body to another...
Sadly my learning experience costed some Kerbal's their little meaningless lives. Game is really lots of fun, some messages are just funny... like - we hope you got your toothbrush packed, we did not think yet of how we plan to return you back to Kerbal. Last Friday finally got around to format new HD on MiSTer FPGA for Amiga, install WB, Picasso96 and MIster RTG, Share, WHDLoad and only 2 games to see if everything works. Still lots of work left to be done, but this is first non-ClassicWB install done on MiSTer. (still have one of those around ) I really like this little project. |

Been playing World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic
I'm 63 hours in. I been grinding my characters to level 99 and been doing all the sidequests/hunts. With extra help it is much easier to play. Last edited by Ostin Maur; 05 July 2021 at 23:29. |

Just played Banshee on CD32. Got around 13k pts on normal diff and defeated a boss (Ball&chain) that was invincible to me earlier.

I like that Banshee gives you a chance to build your weapons up again. I came so close to finishing it a few months ago when we played it in the competition, but the last level is mental. The beginning is one of the hardest bits too IMO.

Is it supposed to be even possible to defeat the game solo? I have been wondering about this with SWIV too.

Cat's Quest 2. The name may make it sound like a dorky mobile game, but it's actually a really good casual action RPG with coop play capabilities (where one plays a cat and the other plays a dog) - it even has a dodge roll mechanic. The gameplay, although pretty simple, is quite smooth and a few minor tactics are needed to get through fights without having to heal every 5 minutes; roll away at the right moment, use a magic spell at the right time, lure enemies into traps, that kind of thing.
If you want to get a spouse into gaming, this is the one. |

I played a bit more of Kerbal Space Program over weekend. Figured out how to use orbits to move / change position and go form one planet to other, as well how to get close to other spacecrafts and did bunch of rescue missions. Quite interesting game, with steep learning curve. Some knowledge of physics is required for this one. Apparently parts of the game were added after NASA approached developer to include asteroids and later add some more challenges into the game.
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...nasa-minecraft https://www.space.com/kerbal-space-p...challenge.html On MiSTer FPGA I was installing WHDLoad games and testing many of them, playing some more than others... (Lemmings, first 10 levels, Lionheart, Flashback (first level), Emerald Mines (original) - first 5 levels... and many others. Can't wait until they add some Accelerator to MiSTer, as that is only things that is missing at the moment. My current setup is with OS3.2, 1 x 6GB HD split into 3 partitions (2 x 500MB for OS and Work partition and 5GB for Data with games, demos and mod files). I have working RTG with Picasso96 installed and shared folder which works as good way to send data to and from Amiga OS. Last edited by Anubis; 06 July 2021 at 14:45. |

Giving Blasphemous a second go now that I have a new controller. The gameplay experience is a little smoother this time around but jeepers this game is HARD. You can always know that is the case, the first enemy you fight in the game is a boss which sets the tone quite nicely.
I'm not going to call it a metroidvania game, it is instead a 2D Dark Souls-inspired game since it borrows quite some mechanics from it like dodge rolling and reposting and the way deaths are handled. I find the style a little depressing and the heavy religious undertones can get on the nerves at some point but all the really cool animations make up for it a lot. One of Team 17's finest releases so far, I would say. |

Try to stay away from Youtube as long as possible The most fun to be had is to discover how things work on your own and just create abominations which you improve upon gradually.
The one tip I'll give you is to be careful with biters. They are triggered by pollution to attack you (something you already discovered based on the achievement you received) and they actually become stronger based on two factors: time and how many of their hives you have destroyed. Destroying a lot of their hives makes their evolution go faster, try to minimise doing that. It's better to just setup defences against their attack waves. And there is the old saying: don't protect your base, protect your pollution cloud. (or turn off biters entirely if that aspect of the game annoys you, I certainly turn them off nowadays). |

For now, just as you say, creating my own abomination. Good thing is that I don't mind creating something - destroy it and recreate better way. As for protection, for now it seems they attack from the same hive, so for now it is easy to protect.
