Finished Spider-man 2, completed everything to 100% and got the Platinum. Now playing through main story again in NG+ for a single DLC trophy. Should be done with in a day or so. Haven't decided what to play on PS next, will probably just play some WWE 2K24 as a secondary game or maybe some other small game from my backlog.

Will start focusing on Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout from this weekend. Even with that, it's a pretty long game, so will probably take a while to complete.

After some deliberation I have officially dropped Trails in the Sky: SC, I was enjoying the game (other than when I got stuck at the boss), but remake is launching next year, and I won't be done with the full series before that, so will play that when it launches.

I started Pillars of Eternity on PC, had it in my backlog for a looong time, tried playing on my old PC once but it couldn't run it properly, so finally getting around to playing it. Not going to focus on it, will just play it a bit here and there.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Fire Emblem for Famicom (the North American release for Switch). I like the series, but this is the first time playing the original. It's surprising how little the core gameplay loop has evolved in that time, but it started off great.

Grand Theft Auto for DOS. I went in with the idea of finishing the original game, but I'm not sure how long I'll keep it up. It really hasn't aged well. When I played it back in the day I just screwed around for half an hour at a time, which I think is probably what most people did.

Your character and every vehicle control like tanks, the camera zoom is bad, the cars are nearly impossible to control at high speeds (never mind the motorcycles), it's incredibly difficult to accurately aim, there are no characters to speak of, the timers are out of control, the directions are all "as the crow flies," and (perhaps as a result) the cities are often frustrating to navigate.
