General Game Discussion for March 2026

Thats a dope lookin skin for that deck. I still havent bought one yet.

So, heading off to Kentucky tomorrow for the louisville game expo and will be playing my heart out on some old school consoles and pinball machines all weekend. Im excited for it. Its about an 8 hour drive from here which isnt terrible imo. There might be some old pc setups to jump on. Ill try to get some pics! Ill also be livestreaming a little bit of it.

As for gaming...

Well its been mostly Diablo 4 and Arc Raiders. Diablos new season isnt all that great, its cool to turn into the butcher and destroy the town hubs you spawn in, but it gets old quick. My biggest reason to play right now is collecting all the Doom crossover stuff they have, along with the usual seasonal rewards/cosmetics etc.

Arc is arc, just cant get enough of that pvp! I pve too but that games pvp keeps me going.

I bought Crimson Desert and wanted to wait a week or 2 before playing it because of the patches that have been added since launch. By now, i know where i need to go right in the beginning w/o having played more than 5 hours yet.



I had a review set up as a draft for the Gallon 100 SD keyboard Corsair released. Seems the system deleted the draft so i gotta re-do it, no biggie. But its a great keyboard to say the least. Worth the pricetag tho?

Speaking of my Steam Deck, it'll be 4-years in my possession very soon and I've finally decided I wanted to give it a makeover. I bought this skin, which was $20 and came with two applications, as well as these textured grips for the buttons and sides (which I didn't put on ABXY) and I'm pretty happy with it; I enjoy the colorful look and the grips feel quite nice. Still love this thing.

That looks awesome! Love the textured grips. I can't use a controller without them anymore, it feels like my hands are slipping on smooth surfaces.

I played another Archipelago world with two of my friends yesterday. This time I was playing Pokémon Emerald, while my friends were playing Civilization VI and Dark Souls III. Also, this time we turned Deathlink on, which means that if one of us dies, everyone dies. It was a lot of fun, but it also showed that you have to pay good attention while choosing games and picking the randomising settings for each game.

I'm always so fascinated at reading your Archipelago sessions. It seems so complex yet so much fun.

Have fun! I've always wanted to go to a game expo, but can't justify such a long drive as yours 🤣 After about three hours on the road I start to fall asleep.

It's really not that complex, but it is really fun. I ended up playing until 2 AM and I've already set up 4 other games to play and one of my friends got 2 or 3 other games he's setting up as well.

Neon Chrome, a rogue like where you play as a hacker and you're trying to overthrow the Overseer who has gone crazy with power.

That sounds great!

*looks it up*

Oh... it's a twin stick shooter. I thought there would be something closer to actual hacking.
