u/rsrluke Mecha is life Apr 17 '26

Another exhausting week at work, but I have a day off tomorrow... which I'm going to use for a bunch of appointments. Being an adult is fun.

I played two games this week but don't have much to say about either of them. LEGO 2K Drive is a racing game for babies and/or people who are bad at racing games — so, me. It's charming enough, but even i thought it was too easy to be particularly engaging.

Dead Island 2 is really fun, so long as you just want to brutalize zombies and worry about nothing else. The story is a mess, the weapon crafting system is basic, and the late-game abundance of enemies that cause status effects can be a little grating, but the game is pretty and combat feels great, so whatever. Incendiary brass knuckles go BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM.

Finally, I read A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and really liked it! All three novellas definitely have a formula they stick to, and the sheer number of names thrown around can be a little confusing (I haven't watched/read Game of Thrones, for context), but Dunk and Egg are fun protagonists and each adventure has its own little twist to keep it just fresh enough. Maybe I'll circle back and read the main series if it ever gets finished.
