Dropped into a mining hotspot earlier - I hadn't encountered anyone else mining so far, so spotting another mining laser slicing bits off an asteroid was quite the novelty!

Shadowbringer screenshots. If you don't want to knowwhat the zones look like yet, this is the point of no return.

The Faerie land of Il Mheg, or as I call it, the Gay Shire. >_>

Technically this a dungeon, not the zone itself, bit it's still 'Il Mheg', we go in there, woo.

The Rak'tika Greatwood. Home to absolute madmen honestly.

Part of a new Hub of sorts, the Crystarium. Because Final Fantasy fucking LOVES crystals.

A Warrior of Light, a Samurai, a few Chocobo all walk into a bar…

Qingyun Peak (and another mountain looking at it)

Basically the highest point of the game (or second, since there's a sidequest here involving climbing three surrounding mountains to activate this air draft that takes you to a floating secluded platform overlooking the land, which is why those beams of light are there). At night it's basically a sea of clouds with mountain tops poking through. I genuinely think finding this area, climbing it and stumbling upon the side quest to being rewarded with this view to be a genuine highlight of this generation for me.

Next-gen No Man's Sky is a thing of beauty. Just remember to transfer your save while you have your old console connected, otherwise you have to go through the tedious grind for a warp drive all over again.

I know it's ancient, and it wasn't even that pretty to begin with, but if you catch Lord of the Rings Online at the right moments it's a looker.

Incidentally, why are these screenshots small, but the ones in my previous post bigger? I've used the same hosting site and format.

I managed to get LOTRO running on the Steam Deck! Just to see if I could, really. It runs pretty well but it's a challenge to come up with a decent control scheme, and even when you do cobble together something that works, it's like your brain has to filter everything through an additional layer to work out the buttons to press. The game's not even designed for controller input, let alone a portable device.

That said, there are two community layouts that I think kind of have half the right ideas each, I think if I took the best bits of each and combined them I could actually come up with something that would work. Might be a fun little project for a rainy afternoon.

That'd be fun, especially because at default difficulty it doesn't need lots of complex button presses. I've turned the landscape difficulty up to 3, just to give myself enough time to use some skills before the mobs die.

I've just entered Rohan, having escaped Isengard and the shitty Dunlending clans. My re-read of the book has just synced up with where I am in the game, which is nice.

Yeah, part of the problem is I'm trying to test out control configurations and I'm stuck somewhere deep in Moria with a full list of "collect 7 caveclaw gizzards" quests, everything looks the same and I've no real idea where I'm supposed to be going. Might have to warp out to the Shire or something just so I can run around and test stuff without constantly falling off bridges.
