Dead Cells. I never got into roguelikes but my brother wouldn't shut up about Dead Cells so I bought it when it went on sale. Found it fun and ended up playing other roguelikes like Absolum. DC caused me to reevaluate the genre

How I look at JRPG’s releasing with an 80 hour story minimum, a level up screen and a skill tree

I'm playing through Zero Dawn and near the end, and I found it fun to sneak around, ambush a machine and then run away while the rest of the pack chases me through the minefield I laid. Not sure this game has this

Completed Absolum final boss with an assist from my son! This game feels considerably more difficult with two players, but it's because we never quite got the teamwork part down, and the game adds extra enemies and makes the bosses tougher to compensate.

Loot that drops after defeating me: Alchemical crafting components 2 magical scrolls, which on close examination are really just Excel spreadsheets 3 challenge coins 1 beer. Drinking it restores 30% health.

Just realized that the thunderjaws aren't guarding the flower. One tjaw gave the flower to the other because they are dating. Then I came along and stuck a bomb on one, stole the flower, and ran for the hills. I cock-blocked a thunderjaw. 10/10 game

There are *two* thunderjaws guarding a metal flower -- which is in the lake in this pic here. WTF is this metal flower that it needs two thunderjaws on patrol. Damn thing better be made out of platinum

Is it just me or is there an entire genre of anime that is basically about getting stuck inside a video game

New month new #promosky I'm Exile, a middle age gamer dad that pretends to be a middle age gamer dad on the internet. 🎮Final Fantasy 🎮Path of Exile 🎮Horizon 🎮Baldur's Gate 3 🍞Real life baking Hope to see you around Bluesky

One Sausage After Another

F me this Melania movie isn't about Elden Ring boss battles.

Slightly diminish a game Quest 63 Ninja Amusing Anecdote Dim Souls Legend of Zelda Twilight Socialite Pretty Good Mario Bros. Devil May Pout Resident Annoying Bioshock Graham's Number

Hot damn. This guy was quite the rough customer. And then when I finally shot him down, his idiot self flew off a cliff while dying so I couldn't salvage its body.

Sea of Stars Clockmaker expansion has a really cool final boss fight, but I'm seeing here on my achievements that less than 4% of players got it. Clockmaker achievements are all really low% which tells me that most players didn't play Clockmaker, which makes me sad. (No picture because spoilers)

@suplexatrain.bsky.social Suplexes: 2 Trains: 0

And that's credits on Absolum! First run completed with Galandra. This game is a lot of fun and I'll probably finish the game with the other characters and maybe even take a shot at that superboss.

Cautiously optimistic about this Tomb Raider series. Turner is nailing the look but they need to change the shorts to tan.

There was Metroid, but they hid Samus under a suit of armor that obscured her gender. Basically they pulled the same trick every dog owner does when they hide medicine in dog food.

Good morning folks. I hope you start your day off with some good coffee and his video games.

Every day my son finds a way to make me feel old. Today's way: "Dad what does 'home phone' mean?" (It helps that my house has a wall jack for a phone, even though there is no phone connected to it)

Real life is so shit right now. But it’s perfectly ok to find something that helps you escape so you don’t carry that mental burden nonstop. Take a break. Read a book, grab an instrument, draw a picture, play video games. We have a responsibility to fight oppression, but it’s still ok to rest.

I've been talking a lot about Final Fantasy lately on here and randomly thinking of funny 4-man party names for Final Fantasy 1. KIRK (Fighter) SPOK (Black mage) BONE (White mage) RED (Red mage and always first to die in any boss encounter)

Playing some Hades and came to the conclusion that Megaera is the ideal woman. * Badass * Literally tries to kill me * Job title is Fury. Just Fury. No more, no less. 10/10 video game babe, no notes

Damn. What day was this on again? I forgot. Go play some Final Fantasy games. It's a good series. Also I'm not doing these things any more

Saw this and I want to try, but I missed Day 1 so you get a double post. FF7 is both my first FF game and my favorite. The cast is really memorable and I liked the materia system. Also Sephy is one of the better villains, but not the best one.

Horizon is a pretty chill game, honestly. Gather some sticks and medicinal plants, hunt rabbits, etc.

Trump: Let's do Iraq again but this time everybody involved is stupid. I know, Bush was, but we are really cranking up the stupid to 11 here

QTP with a gif of your favorite Pokémon (wrong answers only)

About one minute into Horizon, Rost tells 6 year old Aloy to give him the dangerous thing she finds in the dangerous cave, and she tells him "No!" and runs away. Most relatable parenting moment I've ever seen in a video game ever. If you have a kid that age you've reenacted that scene

Starting this one because I'm kind of RPG'ed out right now. Initial thoughts: Excited to be a cavewoman with an augmented reality wearable and hunt down robot animals

New year, new #promosky. I'm a gamer in Houston, TX that plays mostly RPGs and APRGs. If you like 🎮Path of Exile 🎮Horizon series 🎮Final Fantasy series 🎮Baldur's Gate 3 🎮Video games in general then give me a follow because I'll be talking about these on Bluesky. Hope to see you around

Rolled credits on Sea of Stars, getting true ending on hard mode. This isn't the final boss, obviously, but I'm putting this pic instead due to the sheer silliness. Thoughts: 🧵

Closing out the year with some couch co-op beat-em-up roguelike with my son. It's been pretty fun

Loving the Sea of Stars cast here in formal attire. B'st (the pink dude with blue eyes) is my favorite: He's got his top hat and bow tie, but his tie is above his eyes on account of him having no neck.

RPG: Finally, you unlocked your full potential and can now challenge the final boss! Me: Nah I'm going to use my powers to finish my seashell collection

Mrs. Exile is currently shopping at Bath and Body Works. Please send help.

Good old waterfall treasures

Next game on the list: Sea of Stars. This one plays a lot like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, with the timing / parry mechanics. I played through it before, but I wanted to do the DLC plus a hard mode playthrough.

Rolled credits on Dragon Quest 11! This was the first DQ game I've played. Thoughts, but first a post-game pic of Serena and Jade dressed up for the prom.

QTP with a robot that's not star wars or transformers. HARD MODE: no gundam series, battletech or macroscopic (Personally I think Hard Mode isn't that difficult -- you can probably get 10 robots just out of Futurama)

All right I got to this part in Dragon Quest and I hope you all get to experience this at some point.

Damn listening to 5-10 seconds of each of those absolute bangers is a huge disservice

Brought back the classic teal tank top and khaki shorts for Lara Croft. Literally can't go wrong

Spider-Lara

Oh no, GTA6 somehow won an award for being too hyped. Guaranteed delay until 2027

As a US army veteran I feel the need to point out that Guile's haircut is not US military regulation. This is a harmful stereotype; actual US military regulation haircuts are considerably less cool

Goodness, did I make it to the final boss of Earthbound

Exodus giving me some Mass Effect vibes. Disturbing lack of 6 wheel vehicles that handle like a dumpster featured in the trailer, however

That Decrepit game looks like an absolute nightmare
