Joel :void: :casio:

I have bought too many games, so I set myself a challenge to beat 5 of the ones I already have before I allow myself to purchase one more. This is day 94 of and post 10 of

joelchrono.xyzGames to beat before buying more
More from Joel :void: :casio:

Might as well make a challenge out of this... !

Complete 5 games before you buy one, don't let your backlog rot! You probably have more than a year's worth of games to play so, just beat 5! Mine will be...





Let the challenge begin!

@joel

"set myself a challenge"

wow

wooooooooowwww. I see how it is.

@amin HEY EVERYONE THIS IS THE GUY WHO TOLD ME TO BEAT A GAME BEFORE I BUY ANOTHER ONE

@amin I'm sorry I'm just sleepy :blobcatsadlife:

@joel

Haha you're not allowed to be sleepy, evil /j

@joel @amin

@joel

Pretty sure I told you to beat two. Which was raised to three after I realized you'd just bought a new one. I'd have raised it to five myself if I realized you'd actually bought three new ones. :P

@joel

I'll have to take your word for it, my grandparents' wifi is doing that thing where it won't connect to any IPV4 addresses. :P

I genuinely have no idea what goes on with their wifi setup, it seems haunted.

@joel

Hm I guess I could get miniflux to re-fetch it. One sec.

@amin @joel Sounds like all IPv4 addresses are taken. Just kick some unconnected devices…

@jak2k @joel

…that’s a thing?

Also I only think there were two devices on this network at this time…

@amin @joel Yes. There is only a specific range available for the router to provide addresses from (e.g. 192.168.178.2 to 192.168.178.255). When all taken, new devices can't get an address. It happed to me once, because of GrapheneOS's MAC randomization.

@jak2k @joel

From the signs I saw last time I was here, I think it's more likely some kind of rate limiting.

@amin @joel teenage exocolonist and DQ11 are both great, I played DQ11 on the 3DS, so I probably didn't have exactly the same experience with it, but it's a really fun game.

I have come to the conclusion that 1000xRESIST was the best game I have played this year, it's just so extremely good, and it's the one that has really stuck with me, to the point that after having listened to multiple podcasts about it I still really look foreward to it if someone else talks about it. Such a good game.

@joel I will be watching your progress with great interest if it means you get to start Outer Wilds.

@joel That's great, enjoy what you have.

@joel Good luck with your challenge, I think it's a really good idea!
Hollow Knight is the only one on the list I've played: it's great, but it won't be that easy to finish.

@scario @joel Yeah I gave up on Hollow knight, I didn't really enjoy the bug theme, and found the whole setting a bit too dreary, I liked the colours changing, but I would like some less depressing places to visit :)

@joel Sets challenge of finishing five games
The games are:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic
  • World of Warcraft
  • Final Fantasy 14
  • Tic Tac Toe

@thedoctor dude isn't WoW and FFXIV like virtually infinite MMO games?

@joel@fosstodon.org Hollow Knight and Dragon Quest XI are like a year of gaming just by themselves

@joel I have tons of unplayed games due to humble bundles

@joel I'm definitely in the same boat as you. Unfortunately, I not only own a Switch, but also a Steamdeck and a PS5 🤦‍♂️

@esamecar welp that's a problem. Have you made a list of everything u own :blobcatderpy:

@joel I've started tracking it in an app (Gamery) but the list is not complete yet 😅
