Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a good christmas season. Since this is the final Gaming Sunday of 2024 I thought we'd all share our favorite games that we played in 2024, either one's that came out this year or others. I played a grand total of one (1) 2024 release, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which i thought was a fantastic expansion to Elden Ring. My favorite game that I played in 2024 however is Baldur's Gate 3. As someone who has never touched DnD or anything related to it I found it easy to slip into thanks to a great cast of characters and combat that rewards experimentation. I hope everyone has a good start to their new year 🫡🫡🫡

You do hit a certain point where you basically can’t lose though, especially if you use Shield Maiden block build.

Shield Maiden is so silly lol. Granted I've only done one run as her, but I was excited to try a new character since she wasn't in the game the last time I had played. Then I built up enough block strength that I noticed I could just stand still and realized maybe I don't want to play this character... The idea of being so tanky that nothing can hurt you is kinda fun but in practice it just feels like, if I can put my controller down and let the game play itself for a minute while I sip my drink, then what's the point of playing a game where the whole appeal is dodging swarms of enemies?
