I normally don't bother sharing any non-Lego games I've played, but since it's probably well-known by now that I still watch the new generation of My Little Pony, it was really only a matter of time before I decided to try playing the game My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Advanture (released less than two years ago). I've read some reviews say that it's a rather small and quick game, so I waited until I could get it on sale before purchasing it. Earlier today, I decided it was time to finally give it a try. Despite initially struggling to figure out the controls (I use my PC's keyboard rather than a controller), it was a rather fun and easy game to play, though one of the minigames in particular proved to be a little challenging. Despite its simplicity that took me only three hours to fully complete, I was pleased with some features that reminded me of many of the Lego games I've played before, such as an interesting story to follow, things to collect along the way with the option to find them later even after completing the story, and even a way to customize your character's appearance (though I typically don't bother with using such a customizer). Overall, I probably won't be playing it again anytime soon, but it was a fun way to spend an afternoon with nothing else to do.

Aside from Bloons Monkey City that I've recently started playing a lot again, another game I've played quite a lot is a 2008 game released for the PC called Fishdom.

No-o-o-ot shocking, is it? :Mo :petrieLOL

A match-3 type game, much better than the cash grab mobile version, (the one you've probably seen in those misleading, stupid mobile advertisements) which is unfortunately the most popular version out there. :(

I recently finished Tomb Raider 1 Remastered. This is my first time playing the PS1 games. I did play TR: Anniversary so I had a bit of a blueprint to go off of. It was different enough though that there were enough new things to discover. There were some parts that frustrated me, but overall I really enjoyed it. Gonna start playing Tomb Raider 2 Remastered after a small break.

Here's the update on my Bloons Monkey City playtime, hehe-hahaha! :Mo
Mo-o-o is normally against games where it may be inevitable shutdown with no recourse because it is hosted server-side, but there are just some exceptions such as this game. And besides, seems like there's some offline functionality to this game whenever it can't pick up an Internet connection. Maybe no events or contested territory, but at least the base game would still work alright! :)

Congratulations! :celebrate

How often did you play this game? And assuming you haven't played everyday, how much faster you think you would've completed that game if you played everyday?

 Art has been a downtime for me, but slowly working back into it. I just went over Morrowind, gotten the hang of doing the dice roll gimmick and learning about the settings. Before it was LBA, or other names as Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure, extremely difficult game.

 I also somewhat touched River City Tokyo Rumble for the 3DS, and some indie Touhou games as an honorable mention.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

I'm playing through Bioshock Infinite for the first time since 2013.  Unfortunately I find that a lot of my issues with it when it first released still stand.  Gorgeous game with fun gameplay but the story is a convoluted mess and it doesn't really feel like a Bioshock game.

I could have done it sooo much faster, there were some ginormous breaks in there, even yearslong ones. I needed to be in a certain headspace to want to play, usually when my real life was too complicated to distract myself with anything more strenuous to play. In total I only played ~350 hours, I've hit that in a year on other games, so I imagine if I'd played daily/nonstop I could have finished within a year. (Though the Perfection endgame wouldn't have been released yet so this is almost a temporal Catch 22 of a question!  :lol)

Red Dead Redemption 2.

Came for the yee-haw cowboy, staying for the story.

I caused a town massacre.

But some guy shot my horse so it was justified.

Sucks that Mo-o-o not feeling like playing much games anymore on the computer.
However, every weekend Mo-o-o still play Soul Calibur II with my older brother on the PS2. Quite fun. The traditional Street Fighter type style game if Mo-o-o were to best describe it, idk.
