I played most of Cat Quest 2 only to reach the difficulty cliff that is Lioner. For the most part the game was quite easy then bam! multi-phase boss that's immune to one of the game's two damage types. Multi-phase bosses and total immunity to damage types are bullshit. The quest that involves killing Lioner is a level 80 quest and I first tried it at level 92 and failed. I grinded up to level 97 but I haven't had the... passion? to fight him again. I'm seriously considering using something like Cheat Engine to lock my health at max. And apparently there's a second difficulty spike.

I played a couple of hours Borderlands GOTY Enhanced and I'm sure the XP gain has been changed. In the OG Borderlands I'd get to Nine Toes around level 5, maybe level 6 if I grind a little bit but in GOTY I was level 7 when fighting him with no grinding at all. The graphics don't seem to have changed much although it's been a while.

I tried playing Baldur's Gate 3 but I just could not get into it. It's kind of odd though because I was able to get much further into DOS2 (I got bored early in the third act). It didn't help that my GPU fans were going full brrrr the entire time.

I played a little bit of Holocure after watching Kronii Ouro play it but what she played and what I played seemed to be completely different games gameplay-wise, reverse bullet hell isn't really my jam.

I bought Dwarf Journey and Shakedown Hawaii for a trip I'm taking this week so hopefully they're good.
