Wordle is lovely. I beat today's puzzle with no cheating.

My wife and I have gotten into Picross. That’s who I am now.

My backlog is about to get more backlogged over the next two months with Horizons and Triangle Strategy coming out (and also Kirby!)_. I still wanna play SMT5 and Guardians of the Galaxy! 

[Kaney]

I had totally forgotten Horizon was out so soon, and before that Dying Light 2 is even sooner.

I just finished Guardians and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was planning on starting Control next but not sure if I wanna get invested in anything before those big 2 come out.

Elden Ring is pretty soon as well. I'll wait on most of those games as I usually do though so they can iron things out with patches.

IOI have gone all-out on updates for Hitman, with two new game modes being added, one next week, one in the Spring. All three World of Assassination games are also coming to GamePass next Thursday.

Anyone into retro consoles?

To an extent, yeah - I have a modded Mega Drive Mini and a Mini NES, and just ordered a Raspberry Pi retro kit thing. 

If I were a bit more tech-savvy, and had a better idea of how to get old consoles to work on newer TVs, I'd be cultivating a collection of old consoles.

Depending on the definition of "retro", eyeing a fatboye PS2 to start.

I cried when mine started dying and I had to trade it in for a slim - i think I was at least 17 if not older

I presume backwards compatible with the PS1?

It would be, yes. The 60GB version of the PS3 is backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games.

I've fell into the thing of not finishing my backlog of stuff and instead only playing either sports games for a bit or Call of Duty. 

Got some good stuff to play as well!

Team17, the makers of the Worms games, announced like.. Sunday? Monday? that they were launching a "MetaWorms" NFT project.

 

[Bobfoc]

They originally announced it without telling any of their partners and most of their team members. It was supposed to be an "eco-friendly" NFT scheme that sent some of its proceeds to a scheme called the Refeed Farms project. What would be more eco-friendly would be to not do it at all.

[apsham]

I think this is after the Going Under devs announced they would stop working with Team17. They announced it publicly, I wonder however many said so privately as well.

[Skummy]

Looks like Team17 have already dropped the idea.
