What video games are you playing now?

I've been knee deep in Dragalia Lost as of recently. @_@
 
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has taken over my life. There’s not nearly as much story as you usually get in one of these games, but I’ve already logged more hours into it than any other game in the series I played for the first game. This is probably the best-playing game in the series, it’s just so fun to scout out an outpost and execute my plan... or adapt on the fly if I mess something up. I’m thinking I’m probably halfway through the game because spoilers:

I just unlocked the South Africa area of operations. There’s still a bunch of side ops to clean up in Afghanistan, so I’m a little intimidated by the idea of getting used to a whole other open world. There’s still so much I want to develop, and Quiet isn’t out of the brig yet. Man, when I put this game down I’m already thinking of what I’m gonna do next time.

I will never truly be done with the game until I find the cassette of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division. That’s my mission.
 
Story of Seasons- Trio of Towns. Boy file- attending the Starlight Gala with Lisette was fun.
 
Astral Chain: In chapter 4. Pretty good so far, lotta fun stuff you can do with your Legions. Dodging seems a bit janky though, doesn't really seem to register sometimes? Some enemies are considerably worse about that than others though. The Arm Legion fight though. Just fucking terrible. No room, goop all over the floor that you'd be stuck in for like 10 seconds as it punched you in the face unable to dodge. Just a terrible fight.

Terraria: Beat Plantera, got the worst drop possible in the Grenade Launcher, gonna need to come back for better drops eventually. I headed straight for the Hardmode dungeon because that place is a caster's dream, and actually got quite a lot of the loot very quickly. All 4 spells, the armour polish so now I have an Ankh Shield, many Keybrands, black belts, and rifle scopes, both the sniper rifle and tactical shotgun, a wisp in a bottle, and more ectoplasm than I need right now (though I'm waiting on enough chlorophyte for the armour). So yeah, really the only things I still need are a tabi and both paladin drops. Kind of remarkable how good my luck was, there.
 
Been playing a lot of (probably too much :p) Splatoon 2. Could use some friends there, so feel free to add me if you guys still play it!
 
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Playing as an orcish monk/pilgrim (custom-made class with blunt, hand-to-hand, no armor, restoration and enchanting as main skills and short blade, medium armor, speechcraft, athletics and mysticism as secondary). Just broke Mehra out of the Ministry of Truth. Boots of Blinding Speed + natural 25% magic resistance to reduce the blinding effect a bit + the bug that makes the "blind" effect increase accuracy instead of decreasing it = an OP combination that makes that otherwise terrible combat system almost bearable. Almost.

L.A. Noire (PS3)
I've seen this game in its entirely at least 2-3 times because I've watched one of my sisters play through it multiple times (she literally owns three copies of the game because she loves it so much lol: PS3, PS4, and Switch), but this is my first time actually playing it myself. Since it's not like the story is new to me at all and I'm very familiar with it, this should be an easy - even if time-consuming - Platinum trophy. If it's not too bad to get it, I may just do it again on the PS4 remaster too since I do like the satisfaction of getting trophies. Makes me feel like I'm doing something productive, even if it's just a video game lol.
 
Still playing Three Houses...on my Black Eagles playthrough currently. I regret not doing this one first, actually, because I got so attached to the Golden Deer and Blue Lions students that working with Edelgard just feels wrong lol.
 
Monster Hunter World: Just started the other day and it's pretty fun. They want me to move on to the second area, but I wanna stick around for a little while to finish up the Anjanath armour. Coincidentally, I think I might have skipped a few tiers by taking down Anjanath. Perhaps the fact that her fire breath is literally a one hit kill should have tipped me off, but I am nothing if not stubborn, and I needed that pelt for the treetop campsite.

Yeah, you definitely did some sequence breaking; for story purposes you hunt Tobi before Anjanath.

As for me, nothing new to report in either MH4U or MHGU, but I recently picked up Celeste and while I'm maybe about halfway through, it definitely lives up to what people say about it.
The introduction of "Badeleine", the dark persona of your character, could be considered a spoiler if she wasn't so prominently featured on the game's cover art. It happens in literally level 2, anyway, and so far she hasn't failed showing up somewhere to troll a chapter.

Reached Master rank as a Miner, now I will make a Top Quality Sugar Axe so I can easily reach Master rank as a Woodcutter.
 
L.A. Noire (PS3)
27% trophy completion as of now. I finished the Traffic desk, and now I've moved on to Homicide. Though I try to get in cars that look noticeably new (been in 33-ish so far?), I'll be saving most of the clean-up for the trophy of using all 95 vehicles for post-game Free Roam, same for the Golden Reels. I just... can barely tell cars apart in real life, much less in a video game lol, so I'll deal with it later.
 
Batman Arkham Asylum (PC Version)

Just beat the first Titan mutant, but the PC controls are a pain. I'll get used to them eventually.
 
Fantasy Life

I'm in the process of reaching Master rank with the Cook Life.

Lives mastered right now: Miner, Woodcutter and Angler.
 
Celeste, chapter 6. To say anything of what transpired in the story here would be MAJOR spoilers, but it took us a solid hour to finish it, and we did so with less than 100 deaths (much better than the previous chapter, with about 150 deaths).

Also, chapter 6 has no strawberries.
