Which one is that, @cellone ? Not āRidiculous Fishingā, is it?
Not seen that one, will give it a look.
Would recommend Ridiculous Fishing. Itās a bit bonkers, but loads of fun.
Itās made by Vlambeer, featuring Rami Ismail, who I have a bit of a dev crush on. Heās a nice guy, too.
Today is mostly going to be spent refreshing amazon, tracking where my Mario delivery is at. So bloody excited, reviews look insanely good.

If you do play Ace Fishing stick with it. Thereās a lot to it and not everything is straight forward. Also join a guild called Cellonista 
. Iāll give ridiculous fishing a go after my move.
If you play Mario today whatās the bets you get fk all sleep and are knackered for the game tomorrow 
Downloaded Hellblade:Senuaās sacrifice, last night. Looks visually stunning and i am hoping it has a different feel about it(delves into psychosis, they say). Iām quite looking forward to it.
So has anyone played it and is it any good?
Why am I so addicted to Garden Scapes?
Ooh, thanks for the bump.
Been playing a lot of Civ VI, but abandoning most games. I am trying for a religious victory. I refuse to play on any other setting than Prince.
On the Switch, Iāve recently found love for Pinball FX3, which wonderfully, allows you to rotate the view so that its more like the real thing. When I cannot be arsed thinking, I am farming Baby Park in Mario Kart for coins on 200cc. Ten coins a minute. Five minutes between each new upgrade. Itās boring, but itās worth it.
Just played some of Senuaās sacrifice. Itās a bit of a head fuck game. Weird visuals and constant whispering voices(play in a dark room with the volume up).
No map. No checkpoints, so once youāve used up your available lifes(the darkness slowly eats you up) itās back to the beginning.
Part game, part story, thatās relatively slow compared to a lot of games, but iām only at the beginning. Liking it so far.
Trap Adventure 2 anyone??

Haha Iāve seen this going around.
A mate & I made something similar to this for a game jam last year.
Top tip, making games like this will only piss off the judges. Youāre going to win no prizes (or friends doing this). If you are ok with this, sneakily make sure the camera is also running so you can capture their frustration and flash it back at them when they die.

The graphics are stunning

Oh, good bump @btripz .
Iāve been in the land of expansions recently. X-COM 2 : War of the Chosen came down in price a few weeks ago, so Iāve had a wee go on that.
Whatās really taken the time is Civilization IVās new expansion, which is a lot deeper than the game it overhauls. Brand new is something called an Era Score, counted up at the end of each age. Civs get Era points depending on how many firsts they manage. Golden Ages trigger for top performers. Dark Ages loom for the little Lebowski urban under-achievers ( and not very proud of them are all of we ).
Moaning bastards will complain that āit should have been like that from the startā, and while Iād have a measure of sympathy with that (Vanilla Civ 6 is pared down in complexity compared to many of the others), I had something like 200 hours on that thing before this expansion. It was clearly good enough.
My eldest daughter is a big fan of this too, so sent her a copy. Got an āomg. youāre amazing.ā and a heart emoji. Worth Ā£25

I got full on sick of war of the chosen, the port for consoles is fucking horrible, crashes all the time deleting all your saves as it does so. Such a shame for what is essentially such a great game.
I caught Mrs G playing a little game earlier. I came into the kitchen and there she was having a go at staring at a pan full of gently steaming water.
āWhat the fuck are you doing?ā I quite reasonably asked.
āWell, they say a watched pot never boils donāt they, so Iām watching this to see if itās trueā, she explained.
Absolutely batshit mental. This is a woman in a position of responsibility. A fifty year old mother.
I would, of course, have been more perturbed if she had been playing some dumb game on her phone or something.
Spoiler warning. An unwatched pot never boils. The water inside it does.
Youāre just the sort of pedant that Mrs G would stab in the face.

Iāve lost count of the amount of death threats Iāve gotten over the years, the vast majority coming from ms pap.
And yet I still live!
I may have become a bit addicted to gwent 
Got the Fortnite Battle Royale bug like everyone else. Itās Hunger Games. Itās free. Itās the biggest game on the planet right now.
