I’m replaying Fallout 4 on the PS5. I got annoyed with the settlement building/defending first time round, but quite like it now. Keep collecting coffee cups and microscopes and stuff on my travels so I can hook up lights in all the buildings and get decent defensive turrets in place.

I have completed Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes. It was jolly good. Story rather derivative but still entertaining.

Now on Octopath Traveller.

On PC I played Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip, which was silly and excellent. Drive a tiny car around a city, upgrading it until you can drive into space. Includes football, yoga, and hats.

I tried Metal Dogs but it didn't work with my controller so I refunded it. Now on the Fumes demo, which is excellent - reminds me a bit of Bandits Phoenix Rising.

I'm also working my way through the System Shock remake - absolutely excellent. I missed the original.

Today is the day I start Shenmue and after that Shenmue II, I had them on Dreamcast back in the day but that was the time where travelling, gigs, work and women got in the way.

@strumjoughlamps ;;
How are you getting on with Shenmue? 

I never played it when it came out on Dreamcast, but heard great things about it at the time. 

I finally got to play it many years later (in 2018) when it was released on XBox One: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/store/shenmue-i-ii/BZZP5HFC3PGJ and really enjoyed it. 

Unfortunately I lent the games to an old friend and never got them back. 

EDIT: I saw that Shenmue 1&2 was still on sale tonight for 12 more hours, on the XBox store for £3.74 (reduced from £24.99) so I went for it!

I played 15 mins of Shenmue 1, which worked straight away, as I had previously downloaded both games in 2018, when I originally bought the discs.  Checking the last save file date for Shenmue 1, I last played it in August 2018!

Shenmue 2 is currently downloading a 20 minute update. Fingers crossed it works ok.

This looks really cool too...  Id get that on the switch if they release it in that format.

We keep meaning to buy Megaman for the Switch, but have far far too many games on our ''to play'' list, that we haven't even touched yet

Back in the real world I've been playing the OG Metroid Prime remaster. It's ace

That looks so naff, that it might actually be really good.  Nintendo have a well deserved track record of releasing games that on watching the adds for look like they are going to be extremely naff and shit, only to turn out to be bloody good games.

Well people on here have talked about the original game so I though some may be interested. The vid is for a DLC pack for the original Dave the Diver.

Anyone else playing Still Wakes the Deep?

Serious Alien Isolation vibes!

Watched the Many A True Nerd video of this while doing morning puppy training.  Looks interesting and all the Scottish swearing is gold.

Loved the base game of Dave the Diver, one of those relaxing indies.

The original game is utterly wonderful. I'll be looking at the DLC

I’m playing a new game on my Macintosh. It’s not going well.

I’ve recently bought a new gaming machine. 

My ''local independent computer shop'' - term used as loosely as is possible, actually have a sign on their window advertising a ''computer museum'' in their shop with - no joke here, ''museum quality pieces in our collection'', and that exact Mac you have, though in a lot worse and unworking condition, is the only thing in their ''museum''.

Even worse, there’s a compact Mac on display in the science museum in London. I was in there looking at it and a woman next to me was explaining to her son that computers looked like that before she was born.

I’ve never played that version of Sim City on Macintosh, but have played Sim City on SNES which looks very similar.

Do you unlock a Zoo, Bank etc. as your city population increases?

Not that I saw but I didn’t play it for that long. I shall play it again and let you know.
