Overriding is so much fun. I always go for the Ravagers, and let them **** up everything else.

I encountered my first Thunderjaw yesterday.

************ me.

Now I'm dealing with these raptor-type things that have Predator/yautja mirror invisible armor. Wtf.
Cauldron ZETA? I fought three Stalkers outside of it last night before saving. Best way to handle them is to use Lure Call from tall grass and Silent Strike them.

Not looking forward to the Thunderjaw, though.
If you go up the hill to the left where the Watcher is patrolling, there is a side entrance to the Cauldron. Ended up not having to fight the Stalkers at all.

Nice, I might do that if they respawn when I load up.

I am about 10 hours into Hollow Knight...gotta say, I'm blown away. The music, the ambience, the artwork, the story, the atmosphere...phenomenal deal for $15.

Shockingly, the replies are all console war weirdos.

I did see a Series X pop up on Amazon earlier and it was there for a good bit as available. It's good that consoles are available and people don't have to buy from scammers. Hopefully the Ps5 will get to that point soon too.

Re HZD

Once you enter a Cauldron, can you fast travel to [literally anywhere else] before defeating the scoundrel beastie guarding the place and return at a later date once you've leveled up your skills and weapons a bit more? Asking for a friend.

Pretty sure you have to complete those once you're in.

I seem to remember someone on here singing that game's praises back when it came out and recommending that everyone play it. Can't think of who...

I wish we had some better updates on Silksong, although I'm confident that the game will be great when Team Cherry finally releases it.

MLB the Show for PS5. Figured I'd buy this year and skip the next 2-3.

Getting into Diamond Dynasty, as I got into HUT pretty bad for NHL this year. Going total free to play is a challenge, and fun on it's own.

Side note for Xbox folks: The Show 22 is available for download now on Game Pass and can be played on Tuesday.

I put almost 1000 hours into Show 21 (my Xbox app says 39 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes). Might take a year off, especially since the new Destiny 2 expansion has sucked me back in.

WIkipedia says RBI Baseball was cancelled because The Show ported over to Switch this year? That's bizarre. I haven't played RBI Baseball in decades but wasn't it always more casual than The Show in recent years? Some people don't want cards/ultimate team/etc. and just want to play a casual baseball game. Not enough market I guess?

FYI Show 21 is leaving Game Pass soon and progression does not carry over to 22 anymore.

I bought it digital, not gamepass. But I know the only thing that would carry over is my RTTS guy, but again, ton of time into 21... need a break lol

I have fully embraced the teabagging culture in Halo. Went up against a team with a Diamond 3 guy (nice job, SBMM) and got slapped. Played 3 matches in a row with him on the opposing team and teabagged him every chance I could.

If you’re not teabagging, are you even playing Halo?

After like 5 years, I started Zelda Skyward Sword yesterday. The only Zelda on console that I haven't played.

I like this game a lot, but man alive does it feel like it takes forever to get going

Yeah, my first hour and a half was getting ready for that race or whatever.

Got my replacement Elite 2 controller, which is a replacement for my first replacement… both triggers are busted. Whoever put this in the box clearly didn’t actually look at it. So back it goes on MS’s dime.

And this is why I now have a second Elite 2.

Meanwhile I still have my original elite 2 I got 3 years ago and it’s completely fine. You’re bad luck.

Glad I spent the money on the warranty.
