SHINAN'S PROFILE

Would be cool if it did pick/reverse pick so you'd pick first in the second round.

Hrmhrmhrmhr. I try to click on the Select button but nothing seems to happen. I even disabled my adblocker just in case but it just doesn't work.

I'll try again on my home computer and also search around to see if other people have had this issue.

Over five minutes at work I wrote down a couple of games I should get to and hopefully will get to this year.

The Long Dark (played it in early access but haven't since it came out ages ago!)
The Banner Saga 3 (I already have this installed, it's going to get played)
Pillars of Eternity 2 (I got a bit into this but I need to finish this epic of a godsdamn rpg)
Kerbal Space Program (years after everyone's stopped talking about it I should also give it a try to see what the fuss was about five years ago)
Frozen Synapse 2 (My most hyped game of 2018 didn't get nearly enough playtime from me)
Quadrilateral Cowboy (one of my most hyped games of 2016 still hasn't had enough playtime from me)
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (giant spaceships in 40k. I didn't ever remember I owned this, but it has to be tried at least)
BattleTech (kickstarted this and played a fair bit, but it's been patched a lot since and I should just get back into it. I just know it's going to be a long ride)
Chime Sharp (this is a puzzle game I shoulda played by now. Original Chime was great)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (another epic I'm dreading to get into. I know it was not as well-received as Human Revolution)
Dust and Salt (I just heard about this randomly and it sounds like my jam, so I have to remember to also play my jam)

I wonder how many of these I'll get to over 2019. As it looks now I'm mainly just continuing my constant rotation of Plunkbat - Rocket League - Rainbow 6: Siege - Overwatch.

I just noticed this old post of mine...

I got to some of the games.

Banner Saga 3 was an early-in-the-year game for me that I thoroughly enjoyed even though I failed to get the ending I would have wanted. (mostly because my forces were so depleted I couldn't manage it even on several attempts)

The Long Dark is still sitting there unplayed. I noticed someone play it the other week and was reminded that it exists again.

Pillars of Eternity 2 I started as a project in spring or summer or somesuch but I didn't get very far. The lore overwhelmed me and I just didn't remember which faction I liked in the past game and which I did not.

Kerbal Space Program still sits there taunting me. (I played Surviving Mars and Factorio instead to get some similar itch scratched)

Frozen Synapse 2 is still woefully underplayed. It's such a fantastic game but why do I not load it up more often. (If anyone else has it. I wouldn't mind some multiplayer battles btw)

Quadrilateral Cowboy I looked at the other day and then installed Battletech instead.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada I played a fair bit. At first it was hard and then when I figured it out it was a lot of fun, while still challenging. It has that slowed-down real time system that I enjoy a lot. I'm not good at real time strategy unless I get to slow down time enough that it's almost turn based and then I like it because then I can make all the decisions I want to make :)

Battletech. I just reinstalled this and started playing again with the mindset of one or two missions per session rather than a marathon and it's still a very good game and is quite suitable for this kind of playing.

Chime Sharp I forgot I owned.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided I didn't even install. It's so large that when I do install it I have to set aside a week or so to only play it and then get in uninstalled. It's such a committment and I rarely find myself with that kind of stretch of time. (instead I use the same amount of time playing multiple missions in endless games)

Dust and Salt I also forgot I owned and forgot I was excited about. I should totally put that in some priority list.


The plunkbat - rocket league - siege - overwatch cycle changed a bit over the year. plunkbat barely gets play now. Except when I find someone to play with. Rocket League I'm trying to cut down on but that still means I play it a lot, just not as much as before. Siege comes and goes. I want to play it more. But I'd like to play it with other people who are as bad at it as me. Overwatch I uninstalled and haven't played since some time in the summer.

The new game in this cycle of endless games is Warframe, which I reinstalled and often jump into when I don't know what else to play at the moment. Another that comes and goes in the cycle is Minecraft which I played a fair amount over the year. And for a bit Descenders was also the "jump in and play for a bit" game. (It helps that it has a "daily challenge")
