What have you been playing lately? Discussion about video games and board games are both welcome. Please don't just make a list of titles, give some thoughts about the game(s) as well.
The past few weeks I've been spending the time to replace Windows 11 with Batocera linux on a Beelink mini PC that I have hooked up to my good TV, load it up with roms, and scrape metadata and images for the whole shebang to make it pretty. The last task was figuring out how to get my Sinden lightgun working (which really just involved figuring out which firmware version I needed to flash it with, after which it was just plug-and-play--I don't know who's responsible for adding that capability to Batocera but they are a true hero).This weekend was the first weekend where I'm completely done with all the tedious setup and could actually enjoy it, but I made the mistake of introducing my kid to Duck Hunt and he basically monopolized it the whole time. Still it was pretty fun watching him have a blast with a game that I grew up with, so it was all worth it. He'll probably be back to suckling from the teat of YouTube next weekend so I'll be able to really get down to business (first things I plan on tackling are the old Zelda games I skipped over as a kid--the Oracle games on GBC and Minish Cap on GBA).
