Hello, dear assassins! I’m baaack.
I was a bit jelly checking the site on my phone while on vacation, I missed playing video games. I did play some Strata and Stardew Valley when I had a moment to rest in the hotel room, but not enough to feed my appetite.

12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power
17 hours playtime
22 of 22 achievements
-
Strata
6 hours playtime
24 of 24 achievements
I finished two of the games I had started for the previous monthly theme.
12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power - for some reason I did not enjoy this game as much as the previous two. I feel it doesn’t add anything new, so I got kinda bored of doing the same thing every level. I won’t be playing 4 and 5 anytime soon.
Strata - this was a very simple puzzle game where you have to weave colored strips in certain patterns. I played it until I got all the achievements, although there were many puzzles left. Too many puzzles and each felt the same, so I got bored again.

Life Is Strange
8 hours playtime
5 of 60 achievements
-
Stardew Valley
106 hours playtime
20 of 40 achievements
I’m currently playing Stardew Valley and Life is Strange.
Stardew Valley - I started it for the previous monthly theme (and because I was excited to get it in the summer sale), but the game is too big to finish in such a short amount of time. Right now I am grinding for the remaining achievements, especially beating that minigame. If I could beat TBoI I can damn well beat Journey of the Prairie King.
Planning to get married (in rl as well), but it’s difficult to pick the least lame guy. I’ll probably go for Abigail.
Life is Strange - I couldn’t get into the game the first hours because I couldn’t relate to the whole high school teenage drama, but it got interesting after a while. My detective senses started tingling, looking forward to playing it when I get back from work. I’m still on the first episode.
Welcome back! :)
Did you find the Stardew boys not as interesting as the girls? or is it just Abigail?
also Grats! :)
All the bachelors and bachelorettes are stereotypes, they don’t seem “real”. And since this is a role playing game, well… I wouldn’t pick any of them :p But I have to for the achievement. Abigail just happens to fit my own stereotype.
I gave the bouquet to Alex cause he’s the best looking pixellated guy.
Yeah, you’re right. I’ve seen quite a few people fawn over a favourite but I never really found any of them appealing either. :)
The things they make you do for achievements.

I have 38/40 in stardew and the 2 achievements left are from the minigame. i hate that minigame :(
I loved Strata. Yeah, that achievement bug makes it tempting to skip the last set of puzzles. With these kind of games (another example is Two Digits) the game play is always the same and there are just a lot of puzzles doing the exact same thing. I don’t see this as a negative though. I think it just indicates it’s the kind of game you play in short sessions. Maybe 20 or 30 minutes. Though I am also guilty of not finishing all of the last set just yet. I’ve been thinking to go back and finish it for real. Clear my guilty conscience.
Shhhh! Nobody will know :))
I think those kinds of games were originally designed for mobile devices so it would make sense to have them for short sessions. :D
