Pretty much nothing as I managed to break my upper arm so no two handed
games and sitting down caused a pain all across my shoulders!

What Have You Been Playing... IN OCTOBER 2024?
Lots of bug fables and UFO 50. I think i've talked about bug here
before, its a paper mario styled game but with bugs and its super
charming and the fandom is pretty small actually.
The only "Bug" game I remember was the attrocious mascot-platformer
published by Sega back in the mid-90s. ;-)
UFO 50 is a throwback
NES game thats actually 50 games in one and its also fantastic.
This one has been getting good reviews and I actually considered
getting it... except I'm not really a fan of 8-bit style arcade games.
It just didn't seem the sort of game I wanted to spend money on.
So instead that's when I decided to get Mechwarrior 5: Clans. That's
right: my inability to resist the lure of giant-robots is all because
of UFO 52. That's my story and I'm sticking with it ;-P

? which one?
"Bug!".
No, really, that was the name of the game. It was an early
3D-platformer featuring an eponymous insect as the protagonist. It
came out for Windows and Sega Saturn.
It was pretty poor, at least on PC. Surprisingly, it wasn't so much
the visuals or controls that I disliked, but just the general
aesthetics and style of gameplay. Replaying it today, I'm a bit more forgiving -on a technical front, I think it's actually sort of
impressive - but I still don't like the music, level design or visual
style. Nonetheless, I guess it sold well enough, since it got a sequel
("Bug Too!").
I mostly recall it because it was one of the earlier games released specifically for Windows95, and it did nothing to convince me that new
OS would ever be a worthwhile OS for gaming. With games like "Bug!",
is it any wonder I stuck with DOS for so long? ;-)
November already?
Still Duolingo and Propel in my iPhone. Um, I am addicted to these iOS
puzzle games even though I briefly play them almost daily. I tried PowerWash's free weekend on Steam. Pretty, but boring. Wait, do these
count as action games? If not, then should I even bother mentioning
them? :P
Oh, an action game! I finally played Pulsar Lost Colony online with my
old online friends a couple weeks ago. I forgot how fun it was. We even forgot how to play so we had to go through its Academy training again to remember. At least, my 2021 upgraded hardwares can handle this game beautifully. Now, I just need newer hardwares for newer games like uhh Microid's 2024 Empire of the Ants game demo that I mentioned weeks ago.
;) However, limited times again. :(

Ooh, there's a story there!
(and if there isn't, feel free to make one up. We'll never know ;-)
Hope you feel better soon. In the meantime, Solitaire works well
one-handed. Just sayin'.
Point and click games maybe. Although if you can't even sit down. Ouch.
I assume it's too painful to even write out much at this point.
I look forward to hearing the troubles once he's healed.

It's a lot better now across my shoulders so much so that I've even
managed to run a session of Call of Cthulhu RPG. The small book-stand I bought so I could read books helped there. Before after even twenty
minutes it started getting painful sitting at the computer.
I'm eyeing up playing The Pale Beyond which I got ages ago but haven't started yet!
I look forward to hearing the troubles once he's healed.
It involves staying somewhere else, a dark room where I couldn't
remember where the light switch was, the corner of a rug, my head and a
door frame and finally a hard floor

Oh geez, that sounds rough..
Almost exactly what I was thinking.
Get better JAB!
Here we go again. As summer comes to a close and the days lengthen,
