The only game I really play atm is Zelda BotW, which is a goddamn masterpiece and I am happy I bought myself a Switch.
I really want a Switch, but I'm getting older and my backlog isn't getting any shorter. I resubbed to retail in a drunken haze late last week, ran MC once to try and get one of the pets, then joined an LK private server. I really want to play Classic but as we've talked about other places I don't want to burn out on it before launch. I'm still banging away at Witcher 3 and Risk of Rain 2 and don't want to start anything else until I finish Witcher 3. Is anyone else playing Risk of Rain 2? I've pretty much just been soloing Prismatic Trials.
This weekend I was at retro game store and snagged Castelvania 3: Dracula's Curse. Excited to find some time to go down nostalgia lane with that one.

Witcher 3 is a fantastic game, and I am considering getting all the DLC for it once I am finished with Zelda. They're surprisingly similar some ways; in both some enemies can just absolutely wreck you if you're not careful. I always remembered Zelda as a casual game but running into regular mobs that straight up one shotted me in the early game unless I was heavily buffed really kicked the game up a notch.
On a slightly separate note, I’ve heard the books that inspired the Witcher series are amazing. Polish author.
RL update for me I’m deep into revising for a big exam in 20ish days which is for general navigational mathematics, ship stability calcs, celestial navigation calcs, tidal prediction calcs and maritime legislation. Woopdy fucking doo :smile:

I own the full game with all the DLCs... Maybe I should actually play it sometime before classic release so I finally know what all the hype is about.

iirc they are working on a new project (not 2077), could be another inspired work :biggrin:
Leaving my current position next Monday for another that'll be paying 60% more at base rate. Hopefully this position will lead into my main career objective, which I've heard from others that it usually does. Also pretty much done remodeling the room that is to be my study/den, complete with 6 very well done posters of some of my favorite movies and a Lego Saturn V. Then I'm debating if I want to spend another ~$300 this year on a VIP pass to see Weird Al when he comes to town this Summer (went last year, met him, cool guy).
Have had a crazy year (marriage and got a kid) and an even crazier spring!
Moving from Sweden to Norway this month after getting a much better job there back in April. Been at my last job for over 9 years.. Looking forward to the change in both work and country!
Will be a challenge to juggle wife, kid, new job, new language and classic!
I am just the average student, got back into studying last fall, studying my first year in Mathematical Engineering. I'm kinda scared that I won't have time for classic.

Good luck in Norway, fellow Swede! Hope the moving work out for you. Luckly, the languages are so similar.

Thanks Vanilj!
Ah student life, had a blast back in my student days! Try to enjoy it!
RL update for me I’m deep into revising for a big exam in 20ish days which is for general navigational mathematics, ship stability calcs, celestial navigation calcs, tidal prediction calcs and maritime legislation. Woopdy fucking doo :smile:
Ah, I'm also on the good ol' exam grind. For me, it's going to be a couple exams on different programming languages, one on internet infrastructure and a 4-hour written exam on algorithms, yikes! Tidal prediction sounds tough. Good luck to you!
Internet infrastructure - it’s a series of tubes!! :smile:
Thanks, and to you too!
Hey guys an off-topic update. I did my navigation and operations exams and they went okay. Definitely passed stability and cargo, not sure about navigation (was a weird ass question). I'm free for the next 4 days to do some work on the site and play some beta :smile:
Just finished 2nd year of Uni (studying Physics). Next year is when my grades start counting towards my Bachelors, so I'll have to work a lot harder come September! Sadly also means I have 3 months to wait for Classic this summer and not much in the ways of plans, and I've lived frugally enough to not have to work very much if at all.

That's great! Enjoy the beta while you can! I've heard (unfounded) rumours that they will be moving the level cap up relatively soon.

I hated my job when I worked on a ship, but I did like being at sea. Your posts about it make me miss it, a tiny bit.

I recently remembered an old work acquaintance of mine is working at Blizzard now and basically begged him to see if he could get me a beta invite. Fingers crossed!

Can you add my Btag info to your begging? :lol:
