Last Game You Played

[Kyng]

Gold Miner, in a forum arcade.

Got off to a great start, but then had a couple of bad levels and went out with a score of only about $16,000 (the high score was around $18,000).

Genshin Impact

Mainly dailies, not done much at all. I got Varesa on my main account as I randomly had high pity after Flins somehow, though did lose to Qiqi first, then 20 pulls got the guarantee for Varesa. Just been building her up, even put her to level 90 which I've done for only two other characters on there, Zhongli and Ganyu.

Zenless Zone Zero

Completed events and story ready for new patch, which should be the patch that decides my future in the game. I want at two characters specifically, their w-engine if I'm lucky. Although I did pull for and got Ellen for much needed Ice Agent, I'm getting sick of waiting for one and didn't want Hugo. Got her W-Engine too. I have 100 pulls still and a lot of current content to go grind. Ellen helps the variety of usage.

Wuthering Waves

Following the other two, I got Lynae on Xmas Day and playing mainly for exploration in the new region. Liking the bike traversal, as well as getting the daily rewards and building Lynae.

Should finally have a new game to post about soon.

Sonic Racing Cross Worlds

Played a little today. The first Grand Prix on normal speed with Sonic, then that Grand Prix again with Shadow on the next speed up. I saw completing the normal speed completes the slowest speed Grand Prix, so there isn't a need to do that version of it. I also turned off the turn control option off (it's called something else, can't remember the word) and it felt much better to drive. After completing the first Grand Prix the unlocked Miku, Joker, Ichiban and NiGHTS.

Need to play this more obviously to decide how good it is compared to Transformed. Mad that game was back on PS3, I know there has been a Sonic few racers since then but still.

Wait, I didn't know you got a copy of this game. When did that happen?!
Man, you bringing up Transformed makes me want to go start the game myself now because Transformed is to me one of the top kart racers of all time. I don't expect CrossWorlds to necessarily top it but as long as it captures that same vibe for me that'll be enough to make me happy.

Civilization VII

My sister and I are playing a Rome --> Inca --> France game. I'm still not sure what I think of the civ-swapping: it didn't feel as jarring as I was expecting it to, but "Rome --> Inca" is a pretty odd one. The game allowed it because we'd founded several cities on hilly terrain, so it does make some sense in context, but even so, it's quite immersion-breaking!

We're getting quite close to the end of the game now. We're sending explorers around the map to collect Artifacts, to work towards a Cultural Victory; however, Russia is building a railroad empire, to go for an Economic Victory. It's not often I say this, but... I'll have to try and stop those trains from being built!

Quite recently, I mentioned it in my newest post in Latest Gaming Purchase.

@Kyng: I take it that Russia is AI/CPU or is the game online?

Genshin Impact

Finishing up the Event and it's quest on my main, will do the same for my other two accounts before it expires Sunday night/Monday morning. I only played Snowtrace once to get the dialogue with Klee that has some Primogems, I don't care to play the minigame fully for the rest though.

Railgrade

I've gone back and re-played some scenarios, to try and improve my best times on them. For example: today, I replayed the "Luxurious Vistas" scenario, in which the objective is to create 32 Luxury Rooms, and transport them to the city on the map, in under 60 minutes.

However, it turns out, the quickest way is not to start creating Luxury Rooms immediately . The supply chain for Luxury Rooms is complicated - and, the required industries are far apart on the map. So instead, it's best to just focus on growing the city at first. This involves transporting lots and lots of Salt, and lots of lots of Energy, as well as a middle-tier cargo (Appliances are probably the most convenient on this map). Then, once you've got those three supply chains running efficiently, you should have enough money to get the Luxury Rooms supply chain built reasonably quickly, as complicated as it is.

In my fastest attempt, I did it in just over 38 minutes:

I haven't checked yet but I swear if I saw that post already or worse replied to it I'm gonna bonk myself over the head with a book...
*checks*
Phew, I'm safe. I haven't visited that thread since I last posted in it.


The Binding of Isaac: Repentance (PC)
Just the daily run. Was rather short but offered some items I haven't seen in forever so it was nice to play around with them.

Slay the Spire (PC)
Again, daily run, which is all I'll ever do with this game going forward having recently got all the achievements for it.

Minecraft: All The Mods 10 (PC)
@ShiraNoMai and I have finally started to make progress on the basement area of our base. I'd been stuck on it for a while for how to design the space visually but came up with something after ripping out everything I had started down there and giving myself a fresh slate to work with. The plan is to place our reactor and power network down there because they require a ton of space.

Tekken 8

Trying to get myself back into again. Didn't do much just playing as Lee against the CPU and man I was dropping combos and not being varied with my attacks, but at least wasn't a player or they would've probably adapted to it and punish me more than the CPU did.

Genshin Impact

New patch and I got actually got Columbina and all three of my accounts. I wasn't patient and pulled almost straight away on two. My main and secondary both lost 50/50 to Diluc and Mizuki respectively, then I got guaranteed Columbina at 30 pity/pulls for my main, then at 79 pity on my secondary. I was left with 70+ pulls for my main, but was skint on my secondary. However last night my NA won the 50/50 at 80 pity, which left me with a good 99 pulls left. I won't go for her weapon unfortunately.
So I've been building Columbina along with changing some stuff and further building on other characters I want to use her with.
Also a bit exploration in the new area, I would've done the main quest after opening up waypoints but of course Hoyo like to dump unavoidable initiating cutscenes for World Quests in places which really disrupts what I'm trying to do. In one the NPC Illuga spoke to me, then started walking up steps for me follow when I was able to control my character again, but I just effed off.

Completed Spiral Abyss 36 Stars on my main, didn't bother with Floor 12 on my secondary and got 34 stars on my NA, and now the Abyss has reset it's cycle for me to do at some point.

Wuthering Waves

Dailies, clutching a 50/50 win for Cartethiya then getting her weapon before her banner went. Cleared Whimpering Wastes fully for the first time thanks to a Fusion buff for my Changli/Lupa/Shorekeeper team, and my Zani/Phoebe/Verina team helped in the second side in Infinite Torrents.
Tried out the new endgame mode, the first gauntlet of 4 bosses was simple enough where it allowed 3 Teams to fight through them. Although the second gauntlet is when it's basically for players with Sequences in their characters, because I struggled. You have to do two rounds or more against the 4 bosses with 8 Teams, I didn't have 8 Teams built for it. Higher Sequence characters are more likely to clear them quicker without needing all the Teams, which sucks though there's probably some crazy players out there that might still do clear without Sequences but have specific characters. What's more is that you have to get 3500 points in Infinite Torrents to unlock the new mode, and I failed even that the last reset before the current cycle.

Zenless Zone Zero

Just dailies here plus building Zhao and Manato.

@Mr EliteL - Sorry, I missed your question before! Yes, Russia was AI/CPU.

The Sims 4

I don't play this as often as I used to, since I've already done most of the stuff that interests me, and I've sort of drifted to other games . However, I haven't stopped playing it entirely.

Quite a lot of my Sims are about to age up together. I've got two Adults who are about to become Elders; one Young Adult who's about to become an Adult; one Child who's about to become a Teen; an Infant who's about to become a Toddler; and a Newborn who's about to become an Infant. And I have an Elder who's about to pass away .
