My corporate overlords decided I get some vacation during this time of year, it being the holidays and all that. With some free days on my hands I'm planning to mess around with a couple games.
First up is Millennia a 4X game kinda like Civ. The twist is there are different ages that go off the rails from real history—so you can get a steampunk age or one where aliens invade and stuff like that. I barely touched it when it came out but now, after 7 updates, I figure I will give it a proper try.
Then theres Songs of Conquest, an indie game with amazing pixel art that’s sorta like the old Heroes of Might and Magic games- I might play this with a friend early next year as well.
EDIT: OK im feeling a bit tired so Im just gonna play my current Crusader Kings 3 save till I go 2 bed. Happy Holidays everyone
What are the fine folks on Hexbear playing 
I gotta spend some time painting some Warhammer and Battletech guys. I'm hoping to finish 1000x Resist and just impulse bought Metaphor ReFantanzio
Hell yeah, I did some painting this morning. Check out this sick ass bird elf (extremely WIP)
Looks great - I bet it'll be gorgeous once you're finished!
i got into painting warhammer minis a few months ago though i've slowed down a bit since then. i gotta get back to it because i've already gotten myself a big pile of shame
I started with "oh, I'll just make a Kill Team set and see how that goes" a few months ago, too, and now I've just impulse bought a Combat Patrol set, which is just a "quick start your hobby backlog" pack lol.
Super slow progress all around since I'm a parent. I need to post some of my WIPs on c/hobby
I've also been digging through some of my old board games and have been thinking about painting the little figures from Shadows Over Camelot. I probably will want a break from science fiction characters eventually!
1000x Resist is on my to-do list since everyone seems very positive on it - I mostly play strategy games but also like narrative stuff once in a while.
I want to play Metaphor ReFantanzio but I feel like there is a enhanced editon or something coming one day for it (like with the persona games)
There's definitely some Hong Kong protest
, but the game seems pretty interesting so far. The main focus gameplay wise is walking around and talking to people. If you're into science fiction and/or anime, you'll probably have enough fun.
I heard rumors that Atlus is going to do that annoying FES/Golden/Royale/Vengeance thing as a purchasable DLC/expansion going forward. Not 100% sure how true this is, but I'm probably going to play this game once now and play again sometime after the extra stuff comes out - if it's another full purchase, I'll just wait until that bit is super cheap lol
